January 10, 201511 yr Well, time to continue the work... I just finalized a static Library which can be used by scenery designers, but also includes placement of static ships near some major harbors and also in some of the Norwegian ports. Maybe it will be online later today or tomorrow. Next up the Great Lakes... Thanks Regards, Graham Derreck CYMM
January 10, 201511 yr Well, time to continue the work...

Maybe it will be online later today or tomorrow. Next up the Great Lakes... Great news. Very interested in the static library. Your work inspired me to revisit my old scenery for The east part of Quebec Harbour. A few ships from Desgagné, Canadian steamship line or Fednav would fit nicely there as those are frequent visitors. I guess Jean Pierre have done some of them already.

January 10, 201511 yr Commercial Member All the routes are set to 5% so if you set ships and ferries at 10% you will get everything. I like this project. Although I fly airliners, so I bit high usually to see a lot, there are many airports near enough to docks that it makes approaches and departures quite interesting. One question, does anyone know of any scenery which adds docks to Liverpool, UK? I just went there and saw a tanker cruising down the Mersey estuary, but without docks where are the cargo ships and ferries going to go and come? Is there anything FSX-compatible out there?

January 11, 201511 yr Author Hi Pete, Good question - I was looking for the same... And then to those fans of the Great Lakes - the work has started to get a few local ships ready - first up "Indiana Harbor" and "Burns Harbor" which after some hours are progressing nicely - it has been difficult to find drawings but loads of pictures are available and of course Google Earth revealed them from above, so the hull shape could be done B) Below a very early picture from the shipyard...
January 11, 201511 yr Wow!! That looks amazing. Here's a very helpful site that is just focused on the ships of the Great Lakes. Click on the "Photo Galleries" tab for loads of pictures, stats, and info on each ship. www.boatnerd.com My personal favorite ships are the Michipicoten, Roger Blough, and the Stewart J Cort. There are also some interesting ferries on the great lakes such as the Badger.

January 15, 201511 yr Author Nice little tugboat - if you have the drawings she could maybe get to sail in FSX... So far the slightly bigger Indiana Harbor is getting near completion as the first of the Great Lakes vessels
January 16, 201511 yr Looks great! It's amazing how big those ships are. I also love the lakers where the bridge is up towards the bow. They just always seemed unique to me.

January 16, 201511 yr A nice self unloader taking shape... Thanks for the hard work... PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
January 16, 201511 yr I was flying around Honolulu as well as Friday Harbor (PNW) last night....the AI ships make -such- a huge difference in immersion....that coupled with the rain effects from precipitfx and the new stability of fsx:se --> awesome! Cheers, Jonathan
January 16, 201511 yr Author great to hear that the ships also work in fsx:se - I did not try that - does it also work in multiplayer mode???
January 17, 201511 yr Author Slowly advancing with the ships for the Great Lakes... Indiana Harbor has left the yard and entered P3D...
