First time I ever drifted in a small boat down an estuary, I was surprised to see something apparently coming towards me fast and leaving a wash - a submarine periscope, I thought? - and then laughed as I saw it was a stick buoy on the ebb tide. Time to start heading to the jetty before I was swept past it! Relative motion can be very confusing in practice, thanks for the excellent video and explanation.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. It does take a lot of effort to put these videos together, but knowing that they’re helpful makes it all worth it!
Hi , if i select Relative motion , Sea stabilized with relative vector and true trials.. Does it show trials for stationary objects?? Because i saw in the video there is no trials for stationary objects and its shown with true vectors and true trials same apply for relative vectors with true trials??
Great question! In Relative Motion, Sea Stabilized with Relative Vector and True Trails, stationary objects will not have trails because the trails are set to true, meaning they reflect actual movement relative to the ground. Since stationary objects don't move relative to the ground, they won't show trails. Switching between true and relative vectors does not affect the display of ship's trails. Vectors and trails are independent settings on the radar. • Vectors show the predicted future position of targets based on their motion (either true or relative). • Trails show the past positions or movement history of targets (either true or relative), based on how they’ve moved over time. So changing the vector setting from true to relative, or vice versa, affects only the direction and type of the vectors, not the trails. Summary: Regardless of whether the radar is set to true or relative motion, and whether the vector is set to true or relative, if the trails are set to true, only moving objects will display trails. Stationary objects relative to the ground will not show any trails, since they have no movement to trace.
Sorry to say, I don’t use any radar simulator software. The entire radar simulation you see in the video was created in Microsoft PowerPoint. I replicated the radar using the tools available in PowerPoint, and the movements are achieved using the morph transition feature to make it look realistic. If I can obtain a radar simulator software in the future, I’ll be happy to share it with everyone who’s interested.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m glad the video and explanation were helpful. Stay safe out there.
Appreciate all your efforts in making these videos. Very helpful to deck officers and cadets!
Very welcome.
Kudos to your efforts for making these videos. Can only imagine how much of hardwork goes beyond this!!!

Thanks so much, very helpful
You're welcome.
I had a problem with this point's ,but now everything is very good❤️ ,thank you professor ❤
You are welcome!
Very usefull 🎉🎉🎉
Glad to hear that, thank you.

Thank you 👍
Sir, can you please tell me which program are you using for radar simulation?
