Boats

• SELECT BOAT
  load Boat layout, performance data and compass settings for that boat

• NEEDLE
  ON = show textured boat needle (Default)
  OFF = show generic boat needle (Choose this, to reduce texture load)

• AUTO
  ON = Boat Auto Select enabled (Default) > read below
  OFF = Boat Auto Select disabled

WindCompass attempts a boat detection, selects and loads its layout and data automatically.
Is no boat detected, AutoSelect is temporary disabled and a the boat menu opens to select a boat manually.

Note, in order this function to work:
If you change the boatname, make sure the boat name begins with the original name. 
You can add your own Boatname to the original name. e.g.: "Bandit IF - My boatname".

For the boats listed here, layouts and performance data are stored in the WindCompass.  If you don't find your boat in the list, you can use a generic BWind or BOSS boat, which is suitable for most other boats.

These boats listen to chat commands from owner only and not from Huds. So, WindCompass send functions have no effect.

Workaround: Use your chat commands or your gestures for the boat and make the WindCompass listen to them too!
Activate "Gestures"!  Also see Video Tutorials.

The boat speed of the Moth is never constant, even if you keep the heading and wind.  The rate of speed change increases towards the downwind range (> 140° TWA) especially on wind > 15 kt. This results in high rotating rates of the AWA display in the WindCompass. Orange TWA zone markers (140°-180° TWA) indicate the range where those rotate effects raise most. Watch the black TWA pointer.  more...

The trick is, never go straight Downwind! Do alternating broad reaches. Those orange markers may help finding the best angles.

Other Limits:

• Because of different Pose/Camera setting the build in Camera Hud is restricted to Follow Mode only.

• The boat listen to chat commands from owner only and not from Huds. So, WindCompass send functions have no effect.
  Workaround: Send your chat commands to the boat as usual and make the WindCompass listen to them too! Activate "Gestures"!
