Every release of the SkipperCheck COLREG and ship-handling simulator, newest first: what changed, in plain words, and a link that opens it straight in the simulator.
Connect a gamepad, a flight stick, a yoke or a throttle quadrant and press any button: the layout follows the boat, from wheel and lever or twin levers to a joystick, the sails or the sea plane's yoke. CONTROLLER (beside SOUND) shows what each stick and button does, with calibration and remapping kept in this browser, and the keyboard, mouse and touch keep working alongside.
TIME shows green and steady at ×1, orange at ×10 and red at ×100. The autopilot has −90° and +90° for a quarter turn, and ⚓ DOCK blinks once she is inside a harbour.
Ran aground? ↶ 1 H BACK (key U) takes her back to where she was up to an hour earlier. ⛶ FULL fills the window on any device, with ✕ EXIT to leave, and ENTER or ⚓ DOCK opens docking mode: the harbour from above with only the controls you need.
Free Mode is free for everyone, with no account. The shared sea and regattas need a free SkipperCheck account. The detailed Baltic and Croatian charts and every docking lesson come with Marine Simulator Training or the Skipper Refresher Course. The simulator is a training tool, not a navigation product.
