ENIS (Electrical Navigation and Information System)

ENIS provides a digital map of the area, with seamarks, obstacles, landmarks and depth markings.

ENIS AIS

The AIS provides position, type, speed and heading of other vessels in the surrounding of the own ship. Ships in range of the AIS system are shown on the bridge monitor as well on the callable map. The callable map has an additional information line on the upper left to show:

  • Position
  • Shiptype
  • Heading
  • Speed over ground

ENIS Nav

Inside of the callable map, you find on the upper right an information panel where various information’s of the current mouse cursor position and ownship is displayed:

  • Cursor position
  • Cursor bearing from ownship
  • Cursor distance to ownship

This data allows you to mark positions you got from binocular readings or from radio calls. The way around it allows you to e.g read a bearing to a landmark and locate it with the binoculars.

Create/modify a Route

Waypoints can be placed with a left mouse click into the map. Deleting the last waypoint is possible with “del” key. Deletion of the complete route with shift + “del”.

Already placed waypoints can be moved with drag and drop.

With a left mouse click on a waypoint, you assign this waypoint as next active waypoint for the autopilot.

Once a waypoint is entered/changed/deleted, the autopilot system will automatically be updated.

NMEA support

Nautic XP support use of an external map plotter software like Opencpn or qtVLM. Just activate the option, inside of the gameplay settings menu.
