Latest Steam announcements
- v0.3.6 Update: Seamless Integration with Logitech G29 Steering Wheel System - 23 August 2022
Hi, Boaters! Just a small update today, the Logitech G29 Steering Wheel and Accelerator system has been made seamless to the system. Therefore, you'll no longer experience pop-ups. Instead, you can straight away use your steering wheel and accelerator other than the default control (keyboard). Enjoy!
- v0.3.5 Update: Support for Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle - 21 August 2022
Hello everyone! In this update, the Boat Simulator received Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle controller support. At the moment, the ideal setup will be the Logitech G29 Steering Wheel for the steering, and the Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle for the hand throttle. Code cleanup is scheduled in the upcoming update so that the boater shall not be prompted to use steering once the steering is connected. Instead, the user shall be able to use Keyboard, Steering, Feet Throttle or Hand Throttle seamlessly. Until the next update, cheers all!
- v0.3.4 Update: ASD Tugboat z-axis control panel update! - 29 July 2022
Hello everyone! In this update, the ASD Tugboat control panel now complies with how an ASD Tugboat responds in a real-world situation. Previously, the thruster panel correspond to the directional vector of the boat, similar to a speedboat driving, where the steering corresponds to your intended direction. In this update, the rudder panel has been updated to comply with the ASD rudder direction which is more familiar to the ASD Tugboat operator. I would like to thank Twitter user Emir Timur (https://twitter.com/Whaleofthecryp1) for pointing this one out! Until the next update, cheers all!
- v0.3.3 Update: Mute music button in Arcade Mode - 15 June 2022

- v0.3.2 Update: Logitech G29 Steering Wheel Support for Arcade Mode! - 21 May 2022

Use the throttle paddle to shift up the gear from neutral. This will propel your boat forward. Use the brake paddle to shift down the gear from neutral. This in effect will give you the capability to stop or reverse your boat. Upcoming updates: Lesson Mode will receive controller support. Stay tuned. More polished controller integrations. New missions. Quality of life improvements such as Settings (Music enable/disable, Sound effects, Graphics)
