Don't know for sure salty, but that would seem reasonable as the block would have been pre-built.

It was pre built as you could see the block float in!

In the reactions below the video, someone answered the operation took just 2 months..

you can see the block floating in. Its quicker and cheaper to get them ready built as such (drydocks cost alot)

Gotta love inflight wifi, currently 11500m above Spain on our way to London and then on to Thailand tomorrow.

In flight wifi?

I didn't know they could do that

clanky · « **Reply #25130 on:** February 08, 2014, 11:31:18 »

Yep, and with Norwegian airlines it's free as well.

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #25131 on:** February 08, 2014, 14:26:19 »

Hopefully the Thomson flight we have will have the tv stuff in the backs of the seats, we did last time, really helped on a nine-hour flight...

Last time I went with Thomson we had no tv and we were sat next to the engine... We were the first on, last off.

Closest thing to a plane I have been on had a skirt

Thomson long haul generally have in seat entertainment, but their short / medium haul don't.

I was really surprised at the inflight wifi with Norwegian as they are a budget airline, but it works really well, it's not super fast, but it's better than we have on the ship.

We have WIFI on the ferry but its really bad. once we pass strumbel, I turn on my EE modem and i got 4G - in Pembrokeshire

Stena WIFI does it job buy you cant do high bandwidth tasks and your rejected every 60 minutes.

The Wifi on Chiltern Railways trains is surprisingly good, I managed to load quite a few things and do some emails and I was only on the train from Tysley to Dorridge (not a long trip you see)!

It says:

"how do you play multiplayer it tells me all the time: the server you try to connect
is not a Ship simulator extremes server"

Playing around in Unity engine, trying to get a decent night scene of Oceana.

I think a similar scene would have looked great inside ShipSim. Currently there are about a few hundred light sources placed in this scene. FPS is around 20

. But as soon as the ship is lightmapped, the GPU doesn't need to calculate the lights anymore therefore increasing the FPS to around 100.

Salut, ceci est le forum anglais, vous avez besoin du forum franÃ§ais! Allez la page d'accueil du forum et faire dÃ©filer vers le bas pour le trouver, et poster votre question!

Merci!

Danny please note my comments above. It is incorrect to post in any language other than English on this forum. There is a French forum which can, & should be used. If the player does not understand that there is a forum specially for French players then it is not up to us to correct them.

Traddles.

Someone's been busy

Looks great though

Anyone else lose power yesterday with the storm?

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #25147 on:** February 15, 2014, 12:34:00 »

We haven't lost power once during the storms (touch wood), however the village we live close to was completley offline for an evening and night. WPD (Western Power Distribution) hooked up a generator to each ten houses and ran them until they were reconnected. The fuel costs can't have been good..

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #25148 on:** February 15, 2014, 13:12:57 »

On more than several occasions the school I go to closed due to loss of power. We were completely off the grid but it came back on 2 days ago.

One of the boys on my college course got his brand new car, which he only drove home, crushed by a 4 tonne tree last night!
