Hi,
did someone manage to change the water depth in Portsmouth and allow the Pride to navigate to the real terminal location ?

Cheers,

Yann

It's not a problem of the water depth. There is an invisible border between Old Portsmouth/Gosport and Portsmouth. VSTEP didn`t realized that part of Portsmouth because of the much detailed Navy fascilities, but maybe they will add this area later.

thanks,
but it's possible to sail with smaller boats in the old Portsmouth.
Only bigger boats can't navigate the area.
Let me know

Cheers
Yann

Well, I have put the PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM within the mission editor next to the P&O terminal (as you may see on the charts, it`s quite not realized!), I was able to sail her out of the harbour area there, but she "stranded" at the above mentioned border line...

Cheers

How do you start a freeroam mission at a position you wish ?

That's impossible, unfortunately. The start/spawn points are pre-selected by VSTEP.

Shipaddict · « **Reply #8 on:** July 10, 2007, 18:22:48 »

Because Bottman has the mission editor!

So am I correct in saying that the Isle of White Ferry does not actually start at the correct real-world location at Portsmouth?

Thanks

Bottman · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2007, 13:27:46 »

Well, we donÂ´t have the "Isle of Wight" ferry. It's Red Funnel, and they starting right there, where you find their terminal in Southampton or Cowes respectively. The Wight-Link ferries indeed running from Portmouth and there is no terminal implementet within the sim. But it could later, same as the enlarged environment in Rotterdam/Europoort for the PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM.

Bottman,

OK understood - thanks for your reply.

I could nip out and take any required images of Portsmouth and area if needed?

Can I ask, is the spinnaker tower or HMS Warrior in the scenery?

Just wondering,

Sky

Bottman · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2007, 15:09:47 »

Spinnaker? Yepp!
HMS Warrior? Nope!!!

Guess, VSTEP has a lot of pics from Portmouth and around...

Hello Bottman

One of the missions is from Ryde pier (rather impressive) to Portsmouth. That one is a Wightlink route, not red funnel. The Portsmouth end is a bit further up by the railway station (don't know whether modelled or not). The Portsmouth location is actually for the Fishbourne - Portsmouth car ferry. And the mooring point was too far round the mooring pond- it is actually just one (right) turn off the main harbour mouth)

www.harboureye.co.uk looks right at it.

Have to say that after PoR that Red Jet is my favourite boat.

Hi Stu,

you are correct! I know it, of course, but it's not a mission from me $:-\$ and my bug report according to that was ignored. And, we still don't have any Wight-Link ferry, that's why we have to use the competitors vessels from Red Funnel. Maybe that's the reason, why we have to call wrong piers/berthes with the ferry..?

Cheers

krishnaiow · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2007, 09:57:00 »

maybe we shuid have the wightlink ferry , then you could have hovertravel red funnel and wighlink in the same game

Hi Bottman, please don't take it as criticism anyway. I think it was good just to show off Ryde pier. Just kicking the computer when I smacked red jet against the harbour trying to manouver round.

I have one question, how many P&O terminals is it in the hole game? And where are they?

Martin

Bottman · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2007, 07:00:55 »

Hi Moodsi,

the one and only is situated in Rotterdam/Europoort (Beneluxhaven) - we couldn't reach the bassin with the P&O terminals in Portsmouth, because the usable environment ends between Gosport and (Old-) Portsmouth. Well, you may use the competitors terminal at the Hook van Holland - if STENA allows

Cheers

Moodsi · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2007, 15:47:13 »

okay=) thanks=)

Britannic · « **Reply #23 on:** July 20, 2007, 22:11:16 »

Spinnaker but no Warrior? That don't really make much sense. I mean, the Warrior's like 800feet from the tower. What about the rest of the historic dockyard. I.e, the war ships, mary rose hall, Naval school or Victory?

p.s- 12 days till I get the game! Cant wait, especially now I've actually been on a Red funnel ship I cant wait to drive it myself!

Thanks, Sky

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 20, 2007, 22:14:37 »

I've been in/out/around Pompey a lot this last year or so. Remember that only the outer harbour is really modelled as they are using the wightlink car terminal as the destination for the red funnel cat.

Nothing goes up the estuary any further in the game.

The row of low, white buildings on the eastern shore does have a good resemblance though, however, I think Rotterdam and Marseille (the only ports I've really used) are in greater detail.
