Sailing Mod

If you've ever dreamed of sailing a boat in Arma 3 using the in-game wind to move around, now you can! Using [Dust]Sabre's awesome sailboats and my Paddle Mod, once you unfurl the sails, the boat will move forward based on the wind strength and direction to the boat. Different wind angles will cause the boat to automatically change the angle of the boom arm and foresail. You'll have to navigate to your destination based on the best angle of the wind. But beware, don't sail directly into the wind or you'll get stuck "In Irons" which will slow you down. If you want to sail up wind, you'll have to tack port and starboard to your destination along lay lines that you can draw on the map.

  • Heading Display in degrees at top of compass
    
  • BSPD: Boat speed over the ground
    
  • TWA: True Wind Angle (indicates angle wind is hitting the boat)
    
  • TWS: True Wind Speed indicates the wind's speed over the ground
    
  • TWD: True Wind Direction indicates wind direction over the ground
    
  • Night Mode
• Dynamic wind to boat velocity simulation based on real world sailing information
  
• The in-game wind moves boat forward depending on wind angle and speed
  
• Wind leans boat over port or starboard depending on wind angle and speed
  
• Automatic sail adjustments (just steer and relax)
  
• Simulated gybing! (be careful how you turn when sailing down wind)
  
• Custom Sounds
  
• In-game Instructions and tips in the Field Manual

• Advanced Sailing Model where YOU control the boom arm and determine the speed of the boat.
  
• Possibly a navigation system which generates lay lines for you

Special thanks to [Dust]Sabre for generously working with me on his model to help make this mod a reality.

11. NOTE: If you are using ACE3, it's recommended that you try both with and without ACE weather and ACE wind enabled as this definitely makes the wind much more unpredictable vs presetting the wind through the editor.
