HOW TO INSTALL:
- Locate the Microsoft Flight Simulator installation folder
- You need to find and open the folder called Community
- Copy the two folders "Marine RM Mercury" and "Marine RM Ilhabela" you just extracted into the Community folder
- Start the game and the Mercury and Ilhabela boats will be in your hangar ready to sail!
HOW TO PLAY:
Start the game at the headland of some seaplane runway, put the engine on 100% and wait a few seconds for the boat to start moving. The water trails start with the slowest speed you are. Boats do not have a reverse engine for the time being, but this will be implemented in an upcoming update. Click Ctrl + L to activate an overnight navigation beacon. Quickly activate and deactivate the landing gear to honk. It is possible to start anywhere in the world on water, read the last paragraph of the following section to understand how.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
- This add-on will continue to be developed for improvements. Soon all models will receive this update.
- The amount of water trails is limited by Asobo for now, when this limitation is removed from the SDK boats will have more sprays on the front and sides.
- The speed of powerboat is limited to less than 70kts for water stability reasons.
- Don't start cold, a boat's starter function is unrealistic without a panel.

Well it would seem as if I wasted my money, no engine in the yacht, no control... no instruction other than here on how to move this floating junk

The bigger luxury yacht is beautiful, I wish I had the real thing! The speedboat is brilliant! I am so glad this has been updated, as it is a real pleasure to sail and use in the simulator with realistic water bodies! Perfect!
thanks for commenting! After the recent update, the Ilhabela boat model is not showing up for some users and I am working to update the model as soon as possible so that you and all customers can have a pleasant navigation experience.

If you're expecting a real-world boating experience, this is not for you. Boat physics are all wrong - they do not bank on turns, nor do they get up on a plane when increasing power. Engine sounds and water splash are not even close to realistic. None of the gauges or electronics work. There is no neutral throttle or reverse, so boats do not stop (dev claims to be working on adding reverse). No ability to anchor or dock. Definitely not worth $20.
Thank you for your comment The update of the functional panels is currently being approved The physics of boat movement is considered by many, including those who sail in real life, to be a pleasant experience in MSFS even with the limitations of the SDK. Improvements and features are programmed for all models, this includes improved sounds and lighting, among other things.
Regtro Rocker is there anything in you life perfect, It is the first time someone developed something so beautiful , and not one positive comment from you. Are all the planes functioning properly,? Gosh some people!!
boat physics are all wrong... well it is a flight sim lmao
