KL791

Another little step...

I couldn't let your comment sit... so here she is with her new colors... The flag is not up yet as she has not yet been tested in the virtual water, but it is getting close :D

:D It will be finished in due time; I prefer to do the routes myself as the models are made with certain routes and combinations in mind to secure realism. Second, I don't want to have to redo everything because ships bumps into each other... There were too many fixes needed for the first packages. Meanwhile HMS Ocean is nearing completion:

Definately... Would be so much easier just to be in the sim, switch on the sunshine, and fly to a nice island ;) Problem with releasing parts is that I haven't done any routes; nor tested - it requires that I am at home for a longer period but my job requires me to travel a lot, really a lot - that is good for modelling as I do it on the airplane, but I can't bring my sim computer when travelling and I need that one for doing routes and testing.

Well, I'm not good a predictions... Truth is I have no idea when it will be published . Simply too many things to do in real world for the time being, but sometime it will happen.

No, everything is included in these two packages. That goes for P3Dv4 as well as for FSX.

Hi I have to correct that: For P3Dv4 you should download and install in this order: Global AI Ship Traffic V1 https://library.avsim.net/zipdiver.php?DLID=194715 200 AI Ships and AI Ship Traffic V2 https://library.avsim.net/zipdiver.php?DLID=200129 The work on the next package continues, but it goes quite slowly...

which package do you have installed? do you come from an earlier p3d version without the problem?

Well, yes it happend more than once - a quite funny one was when a guy took out his laptop and then revealed to me that he was actually an engineer designing ships - then we sat there and compared design methods. Some of the ships he has done in the real world might actually be included in the next package. Regards to testing it still requires that I get the ships in the virtual water, and that is my key problem at the moment as I can't travel with my gaming laptop.

Hi Heiko, It keeps dragging out - Due to business I am hardly at home and when at home I have too much to do to sit in front of the PC - but I spend hours sitting on the plane so the number of models keep increasing... Here are a few high speed ferries for Greece, Argentina, Korea...

A few more for the next update... If they look alike, it is not because I have gone lazy - it is the same ship before and after conversion to crude oil tanker.

ups.....

Unfortunately the sim does not really consider navigation rules. Maneuvers are also rather unrealistic so the best is to keep the ships distanced from each other which again complicates route planning a lot. Below the first sea trial with the Type 45 destroyer model. Still Work-In-Progress, but she floats :D
