Mine is "Rozenburg"

Hello,

I like the "Albatross" the most. Because she's a beauty in real life. Almost the colors of the MV Apollo from Woodward Group. Nice...
2nd I like the White Marlin, because she's very fast and the steering is very easy, my opinion.

But:
Why can't we close the ramp of White Marlin all the way. It looks as she is sailing with open doors. Not to forget the bulkdoor behind the ramp, which is closed all the time. And at last: It shouldn't be possible to open the front door of Albatross in open sea without sinking. Just a few thoughts...

But I like it very much  :2thumbs:

Hi Stefan,
The watertight doors on "White Marlin" do open & close. See the picture below. I think also that the ramps, when lifted, are in the correct position to match reality.

Hi Stefan,

and Welcome on the forum :-)

In real life, the ramps of the Condor Express and Condor Vitesse (the real life ships on which the White Marlin is based) don't raise higher than on the White Marlin model.

You can check it on real life pics of the ship, like this one for example :

(http://www.pilhavre.fr/PILHAVRE/galerie_photos/navires_roulier/CONDOR%20EXPRESS.jpg)

The ramps are only ramps, they're not watertight doors (that's why there are doors behind them).

Probably the White Marlin boy is she quick but also Albatross IV.

Out of interest which ship is the Albatross modelled on??

And has anyone else figured out what the open and close buttons operate on the Albatros??
(Not the stern ramp or bow controls but the little switch beneath them)

Fantastic fun all of them.

Hi Attree,

The Albatros IV is modelled from the M/S Coromuel ( http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/coromuel_1973.htm ), one of the well known "Papenburg Sisters" ( http://www.ferryfantastic.webs.com/papenburg.htm ).

The Open/Close button allows you to lower/raise the bow ramp (which is behind the bow visor).

I think the ramp is missing...

 :doh:

Maybe we could have another repainted Albatross IV, this one in Channel Ferries colours, with a speed of 19.5 knots (see Earl Granville  (http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/viking_4_1973.htm) :) )  :doh:

If could download the new colors shipsim.com, some Albatross IV sister ships :).
I like the most m/s Roslagen and m/s Alandia, but Albatross IV is also a fine ship  :)
Eckerö Linjen ships all http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/eckero_linjen.htm (http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/eckero_linjen.htm), there are a few Papenburg sisters ships :).

I think one of the mods said it wasn't possible to have a working bow ramp.

I'm not too bothered, I'm just glad the bow visor works - it looks so cool.  8)

The Open/Close button allows you to lower/raise the bow ramp (which is behind the bow visor).

there is a button saying open close but the ramp isnt working
I mean There is No ramp behind the bow visor..

So its the Mods playing a advanced version of SSE when we just keep with a regular normal one :(

Post by: Attree on March 30, 2011, 23:41:24
What we need is a channel ferries fleet. Operating from all 3 uk ports (not padstow even though it is beautiful and rick steins food is fantastic, but its way too small) in the game to Calais.

But what would be core is a modelled ferry that actually does the Dover to Calais route and fits in the berths etc... Something like TFM's Channel Queen perhaps could be the workhorse. Pride of Rotterdam repainted could be our flagship for her size, White Marlin providing the speed trips and hearty old Albatross doing the night runs.

Oh I can dream.
Or I could create some missions.  ;)

Someone put me back in my place I'm being too ambitious here.

I think the Rozenburg is perfectly fit for Padstowe... Getting there is another story.  8)

lol, I meant real-life travellers who just happened to stumble across your website and thought it was the real thing. Trust me, I have came across a few stupid people. One classic moment in my work years ago was  when one of my colleagues was sitting at a computer desk and goes:

Friend: Why is my computer screen showing the wrong time? It's showing ten past two (14 10) on my screen but my watch is saying it's quarter to one.

Me: [quickly realised my friend's predicament] What is today's date?

Friend: 14th October.

Me: That's not the time on your screen, it's today's date.

Friend: Oooh.....uuumm

So I should have asked "what is your favourite Channel Ferries company"?

The topic however is what is your fav from the ferry pack, and not "what is the best morronic Channel Ferry Site, and don't you dare not like my/our site or we kill you".

So stick with the topic or start your own!

Channel Ferries® is a Vstep® TradeMark, and you are at this moment taking big legal financial risk.

There is also some doubt about people actually owning the Ferry Pack, this topic was meant for those who actually HAVE the Ferry Pack.

The Rozenburg ferry is in fact a landing craft which could fit inside the welldock of an LPD like the Hr.Ms. Rotterdam L800. You can creata an amphibious mission in which the Pride of Rotterdam is the Dutch LPD Hr.Ms. Rotterdam L800 and in which the Rozenburg is a landing craft.
