SEVEN MONTHS!!Â¡Â¡Â¡

Do they understand time? 7 years maybe. Look how long it took to build the freedom tower! Seven years!

Well maybe they have a new building method that's faster than previous ones.

Well, if they've been able to do this over a year ago...

Tonight i'm thinking off crossing The English Channel with Pride of Rotterdam (With Bryan Ferry ofcourse

)

But just a simple question before i'm off, what's the recommended direction to follow, to make a straight forward line towards the port of Calais?

The Ferry King · « **Reply #24882 on:** September 20, 2013, 16:06:01 »

What do you mean?
Pride of Rotterdam departs from Hoek Van Holland to Harwichm

if you want to go Calais you'll go on a much shorter 90 min route

It's afterall a shipsim forum, so i'd prefer the coordinates for Dover - Calais for the very beautiful Ship Simulator

Traddles · « **Reply #24884 on:** September 20, 2013, 17:47:48 »

Hi Captain Best,
Try 120⁰T. That should be pretty close for you. That is on leaving Dover via the Eastern entrance to the harbour.

Captain Best · « **Reply #24885 on:** September 21, 2013, 11:49:19 »

That's it Traddles! Cheers!

Is anyone else missing the retail key for the Inland Shipping DLC? I bought it on Steam by the way.

Yeah it is

I'm back at school at the moment for my masters ticket. One of the exercises was to approach Rotterdam with a VLCC. Quite fun

What's up with this big storm tonight?
Sounds not big from here yet - what about everyone else?

GeoP17 · « **Reply #24895 on:** October 28, 2013, 08:20:39 »

What storm?

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #24896 on:** October 28, 2013, 09:20:22 »

The big 'St. Jude' storm that is currentely tearing through the UK, it is currentely bearing down on Cambridgeshire I believe. A LOT of train services have been cancelled, and winds of 105mph have been reported in the straights of Dover and 99mph winds on the Isle of Wight.

I've had high winds before, But when the 8500 starts rolling backwards..

So how has everyone's Hallow's Eve been? All the DTA drivers were in costume and handed out candy to everyone who boarded the buses, but other than that it's been pretty uneventful. Also it's raining pretty hard outside.

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #24899 on:** November 01, 2013, 09:56:55 »

I spent the evening working at my local preserved railway's, the Dean Forest, hallowe'en night, and it was raining the whole time when I was on platform duties and as soon as I got an inside job it stopped...
