- The daily challenge gives everyone the same scenario; a clean stop requires staying still in the target zone for three seconds.
Field notes
Users can set wind direction and variability, current, berth type, and how full the port is, or generate a random scenario and share it by link. The described controls include keyboard input that accommodates AZERTY and QWERTY layouts, plus on-screen buttons. HarborSim says it models inertia, propeller walk, windage, current, and rudder stall; it also explicitly says the simulator is for understanding and repetition, not a replacement for handling a real boat.
