July 29, 20214 yr And here a few appetizers from the upcoming native package - so far just basic shots before PBR textures and rendered on a old travel laptop. SSG Michael H Ollis - currently being terminated also in real life to enter service to Staten Island Côte d'Opale which will enter service on Dover-Calais for DFDS in August Stena Estrid - new built ferry on Holyhead - Dublin Alice Austen - in service across New York harbor since 1986
July 30, 20214 yr https://www.yahoo.com/news/300-million-carnival-cruise-ships-191443462.html Unfortunately it seems I have to renew the cruise fleet also... These Carnival ships being scrapped were some of the more elegant of the large cruise ships.
August 1, 20214 yr I have been asked in another thread whether I could do something about the missing traffic on the Great Lakes. As those of you following the project since P3D and FSX knows - it used to have traffic on the Great Lakes and the ships are still there, just submerged at the bottom of the lake due to a bug in MSFS. There is a workaround... It won't take much time if you can accept that it is still just P3D carry overs with the issues that creates... stutters for some at first sight, no wakes,,, I don't want to make a real Great Lakes MSFS converted package as long as I don't know if Asobo corrects the bug tomorrow, but a small Great Lakes package with P3D carry overs can be done in a matter of hours once I am in Denmark and have access to my source files. So let me know if there is interest to bring the Great Lakes ships back to the surface 😄 Screenshot of one the big ore carriers on the Great Lakes from P3D
August 1, 20214 yr Excellent, I’d love to see some laker traffic!

Thank you for even considering this!

I had actually added new models related to the Great Lakes before launching in March... The Kathy Lynn is one of them - a tug built during WWII but still going strong.

What do you think? It would be a great memorial to a foundered ship, and this model look great! Thank you for all of this...your time, your efforts, your devotion. Thank you! Would love to see the E.F. sail in P3D v5.2HF1 as well as MSFS! Edited August 1, 20214 yr by Sesquashtoo

Do you think he wrote routes for White Fish Bay, or around there? Easy to fly to...." So, this is for FSX and P3D, right? Edited August 1, 20214 yr by Sesquashtoo didn't end sentence with an "

I did the routes so I need to check - now you mention P3D and a very classic ship - did you ever check the Classic Ship Package we uploaded in January - it is only FSX/P3D for the moment. https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxscen&DLID=220728

THANK YOU! Post Edit: "My GAWD, this package looks FANTASTIC! I'm reading the PDF file right now...like you said...no 'boxes' on the water...! Going to install right now!" WOW......!!!

THANK YOU! ;D It is not global... so check the documentation on where to see the ships, but it has some nice old stuff. I really enjoy the ship design of that time.

Not immediately, as it doesn't seem to be enabled for simobjects by Asobo yet, but it looks like this should be possible from November, and this native package will be easier to update on an ongoing basis.
