So one of the main criticisms of Carp Fish Sim was the lack of being able to reel in after you cast out. I didn’t initially add it as I thought it might of been unnecessary and add more complications to the game.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, I’m pleased that I’ve added not only reeling in to Carp Fish Sim but you can now see your end tackle and can operate the bail arm as in real fishing. This allows you to walk further up the bank, cast out and walk back to your peg, flick on the bail arm and put your rod on the alarm.
Here’s a quick video of the system in action:
Once again, these features are not in the current released build (1.6c) but will be in the next update. Currently I don’t have a date for the release.
Hiya Derk. Nice Idea. I take it you are unaware of fishsim2? . I have used that everyday since its release in 2000. Fishsim.net. you can D/L it for free. It might give you a few ideas like using [ ] for clutch settings on the reel and # for reel speed. Currently 2000+ baits 1700 venues. Unfortunately the owner sold copyights for pittence to some thief. So its as it was 2010 the last update we had. It has so much potential. Even though its better than anything made to date including any consol game.
I think its excellent that someone else has the imagination and the skils to make another sim. Sadly our sport is neglected on the game side. Well those that can be called close to reality.
I wish you every success with this overdue addition to all things fishy
Best wishes Richard
Thanks for your comment Richard. I also played fishsim2 back in the day, i also made venues (burton constable, sea venue, zander pit, east park, baswick, river hull v2 and many others i can’t remember) some of these venues were on the retail CD of fishsim2 which i still have.
hi derkoi i have version 1.6d and this is not in it … i am thinking i only have the demo version 4 some reason because all i can do when the game starts is go fish, forum and exit .. is this right? and also a lot of the vids i have seen with other stuff in it like adjusting the rod pod e.c.t just isn’t in my game… i would love you to get back to me a.s.a.p thanks
