this mod just straight up doesn't work for me. it's installed through Vortex, but it changes nothing. there is no config file, but there are some .pngs that have all the custom icons.
i have no clue whatsoever why this doesn't work and it is very annoying.
Throws in an error in the log.

I still amazed at how some ppl always want to make the game harder, like if it isn't related to the manly-ness of their little head and how HARD it is, well the game must be made harder??? LAME What I find terrible about the sailing is how hard it is to take back and forth going into the wind and then you are stuck in the water going no were, when using the rudder as a paddle so you get some movement forward is impossible.
I'd suggest adjusting wind behavior, if you can so that its direction is not so erratic. Real Life wind generally doesn't change direction, every few minutes, especially at sea, unless you sail into a storm.
You are very wrong about this. Been sailing for years, and I've spent many an hour making fine adjustments from "lifts" and "knocks" in wind angle (relative to the windward side your your boat). Gusts generally mean a slight change in angle, and conditions can be either very gusty or less gusty in either high average wind or low average wind days. The higher the wind, the less you'll feel the effect of every single little gust, because of all the "noise" in the air.
I know what he's talking about though. You don't need to be a longtime sailor to know that the wind doesn't change directions 180 degrees in less than 5 seconds on a clear day. That's happened to me on several occasions...
This is really exciting. Very interested to see where this goes. I've always wanted sailing to be a bit more immersive in this game. Also stormwinds don't 'feel' as terrifying as they should. I have an idea adding speed isn't going to make it do that. The scale of the game means you're just going to cross ocean faster. What we really need are effects that make storm winds scarier. Shaking, juddering, motion blur, higher difficulty to control. It needs to FEEL faster, but not necessarily be faster.
I'll test this mod and provide some feedback. I like the direction it's going though.
Go sailing in a Karve in a thunderstorm, you cannot go at full speed because you will break the boat. Especially if you encounter smaller waves on top of the giant waves. You just bang from small wave to small wave, and damage your boat. Dangerous enough for me.
Is there any way to tweak the settings for this? With the latest update, even if I have full sail and the wind in the back I'm almost slower than when I'm going with oars. In a storm it's fast, but since the weather is nice most of the time, this mod is in its current state completely unusable for me sadly...
Also, the wind HUD could be half or even one fourth of the size and still be useful. It's way too big as it is now.
You can change the mean wind knots values for every problematic weather conditions you face in the config file (BepInEx/config/sator.SailingOverhaul.cfg), especially MeanClearWeather.
As for the HUD scale, change ScaleWindHud and ScaleIcons to the fraction you see fit. I set mine to 0.25 to have them at 1/4 of their default size.
Hi again, there is mentioned a wind HUD and a images folder in install instructions, but there is no image folder in the download and there is no wind HUD. Can you check this please, would love to have the wind HUD :)
We are going for our first run with sailing, would you recommend this mod in its current stage as a direct replacement of the Vanilla mechanics for a first run? The features sound amazing .

Definitely like the idea of "feeling faster" but not actually being faster. Perfect way to sum up the experience.
