Yep, it should work just fine, IF you of course have 'the usual' stuff in order. So if the game runs good now, patching it to 1.4.2. shouldn't change that.

(Your english is perfectly understandable!!)

If anybody doubts the ability of the JJ to position itself with the Azimuth and bowthruster...  ::) Here's my attempt to anchor in Wang Long Bay, Phi Phi Islands:

Thanks, but i didnt intend to crash it. I got called down to the galley and forgot to stop the engines. Came back 20 mins later and it was too late.

EDIT: I just wish the cranes were functional. Imagine in multiplayer being able to lift a stuck ship out of the mud and plonk him back in the deep water.

Capt.L Henry,
Here is an explanation of the azimuth drive. You will see it is only for moving the ship sideways to put her alongside a berth. If you scroll down you will see that Marty has given an excellent run down on the subject in this thread.

The Rotterdam Veerhaven near our office (Jumbo) seems like a nice location for her :-)

Yes indeed! A big thank you to V-step. I love this vessel. I'll be trying out its missions this weekend when I have some time.

I can only assume it one of the 2 missions that come with it.

I made a mission in the mission editor and placed the vacumtower on it.

Hello evryone, just a quick question, will there be more lights installed on the ship soon, because at night she feels alone  ::).A couple of windows lit up,  a few dots of lights on each of the 2 cranes and that it(all white).
Title: Re: Jumbo Javalin
Post by: jim.smith on November 14, 2008, 12:05:26
Thanks VSTEP for the new vessel,I have installed a Saitek pro flight yoke system and it works perfectly with Ship Sim.

Ahoy Ship(sim)mates,
Will this be a future feature for the JJ ?

That would be great.

There should be about ten missions for JJ in Play > Custom missions. Most titles begin with “Jumbo Javelin…”
Some in my list might be from beta testing over the past month, but I counted ten with the same file date/time from when I installed the free release.

Some bad news:
My CMM colleagues report that at least one of the JJ missions—Transport of the Vacuum Tower—is the original flawed version. Corrected versions will be available for in-game download soon.

At night you don't want these lights to show at all!
The cranes are definately without lights when sailing, some of the windows might light up if the crew forgets to close the curtain. If these cabins are facing forward they will be notified soon enough to close these curtains.

I was doing the mission "transporting a vacuum-tower", and had just left port with my cargo when suddenly I was passed by an amphibious car,  ;D

Hehe its just the speedcabincruiserboat (as i think you knew ;) ) :P Not to good quality on it :P
But great pic caus it's just looks like a car there  ;D

Siso, I think he's referring to the cars on the Red Eagle's deck, but I'm not sure :P Seems more logical though
Title: Re: Jumbo Javalin
Post by: saltydog on November 19, 2008, 05:50:54
You're right siso, it was false alarm ..Thought I'd found another easter egg for a moment..
Went back to check, and was passed by this.. ;D
