RNLI Tamar Class Lifeboat

**NOW WORKS IN SURVIVAL MODE**



Description and History:
Tamar-class lifeboats are all-weather lifeboats (ALBs) operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) around the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. They have replaced the majority of the older Tyne ALBs. The prototype was built in 2000 and 27 production boats were constructed between 2006 and 2013.

This particular model is based on 16-20 "Rose" based at The Lizard Lifeboat station in the South of Cornwall, England. On station since 2011, she is slipway launched with a crew of 7 capable of reaching 25 knots with a range of 250 miles thanks to her two 1000 HP engines. At 16 meters in the length and with self-righting capability, she is able to withstand all weather conditions encountered around The Lizard peninsula and further out to sea.

Stormworks Lifeboat:
To turn start, turn on both switches behind the Coxswains seat then simply press the 'Ignition' button at either helm points on the bridge or in the cabin. From here W/S will control throttle, A/D steering, Up/Down to control pitch and Left/Right for bow thrusters (Not implemented yet). The main mast can be raised from the bring using the keyswitch and the two side aerials are controlled by a key switch on the left.

Many of the systems are not fully functional yet, I am still learning this game but plan to update the functionality and looks of the boat and keep it as up to date as possible. You can find my the change log and development items at the bottom.

Planned Work (no particular order):
- Get Tamar working without "cheats"
- Add more functionality and make more usable within Stormworks
- Improve interior
- Improve systems
- Improve balancing
- Improve power output/engines
- Change stowed equipment
- Develop launchable Y-Boat stored in the stern as per the real boat
- Create Lifeboat House with slipway for launching - Check out Cauterize's Lifeboat Station here!

Change Log:

07/01/20 - V1.6: Updated panels to be less cluttered and implemented support for compatibility with Cauterize's Lifeboat Station.

22/12/20 - V1.5: Removed keel and introduced rear connector for better slipway performance. Removed some unnecessary pumps and improved stability.

03/11/20 - V1.4: Graphical updates, added front storage hatches. Added working radar (credit to neolinden.)

31/10/20 - V1.3: Fixed incorrect cooling and tweaked RPS/Gearboxes so now fully works in survival mode. Also tweaked balancing to make more stable during turns/heavy seas.

29/10/20 - V1.2: Engine and electrics overhaul which allows it to work in survival mode (lacks some speed in this mode). Added bow thrusters that can be controlled as either helm position. General tweaks and self-righting if capsized (hold A/D to right).

28/10/20 - V1.1: Y-boat added.

28/10/20 - V1.0: Released.
