In the Shipping News of Piet Sinke I spotted the addon pack for 2008 "Elbe and Furie" Edition to raise money for those beautiful classic tugs (the articel said Vstep sponsored the game). It is for sale on http://www.zeesleperelbe.nl (http://www.zeesleperelbe.nl) sadly the website is only in dutch.
It is for sale since 8 october for 15 euro. I haven't tried it yet, but I will order it soon.
Did anyone tried it already?
-
:) :) :) :) :)
i ordered the edition just a minute ago
-
Pardon the digression, but this post reminded me:
Does anyone know if the TV series Holland’s Glorie was ever released on DVD?
Failing that, an NTSC conversion of a videotape. (I can handle PAL DVD but not tape.)
Thanks
Marty

Alex those ships will be awesome but I didn't think the add-on was finished yet. If it were surely we'd see it on the Shipsim website? Is that Dutch page just for pre-orders?
-
Greetings,
Yes,this is a page,that you can order this amazing add-on.
However i think that Vstep will help us to,to order it direct by them.Specialy for the members they live in the U.S. and New Zeeland,poeple who live far from Holland.

To mvsmith,
I can start looking for the dvd's of Holland's glory,if you want.
Here in Belgium,they started also to bring out,old programs on dvd,as before they were also on videotape.
Maybe this website of the Elbe and Furie,can help to.Because they used one the vessels in that series.
You can try that first.
This is just an idea,let me know.

Marc

The articel said it was going on sale on monday 8 october. I think it is a finished product and ready to be sent.

In that case VSTEP please hurry up and make it available, a download version would be great.
And thanks for the heads-up Alex!
-
The thing is that Vstep made it for sponsership to raise money for those tugs and other classic ships. Maybe Vstep will not even sell it on their own site. Just wait for their response I guess..
-
But ... okey. Cool... So you can use this stuff with Ship Simulator 2008? :o
Does it mean that we can see the ships in the game after installation?
This sounds like a 3rd add-on pack to me ;D
-
Please note that this version is only for sale on this website and only suitable for the Dutch version of Ship Simulator.
All profits made with the sale of this Add-On goes to the organisation which is maintaining these two ships.
In January we will create a multi language version of this Add-On and also sell it from our own website.
-
wich ships are there?
i didn't hear about that game as far as now!!
can anybody take picturs or videos soon??
that would be great!!

Hello all,
After i installed the elbe/furie edition, the Fairmount Sherpa won't work anymore!

Does anyone had the same after installing the e/f edition?
Greetings
Bram
-

Hi brammer4 :)
Are you using the Dutch version of SS? This Elbe/Furie edition version is only suitable for the Dutch version of Ship Simulator.
Later on, these vessels will also become available for other versions of SS.

groennegaard
-
My cd box says it should be dutch, but the game itself is in english. Maybe I missed a language menu, I don't know. Don't really like to change it, because I'm used to the english now.
I don't know if I should buy this addon now...
-
I'll be waiting til I can buy it in English. Shame they havem't done it from the start, would boost funds for the tugs even more !
-
Greetings,
The game was allready out,when there came a question from the organisation to work together with Vstep.
From then on they started to create these vessels,so thats why it was not possible to bring them from the first moment.

Marc

At the webshop of Tugspotters is the dvd for sale but it's Dutch spoken....
www.tugspotters.com and then click on the webshop button.

Can some one post some screenies?
What boats are there?

I like this add-on a lot! I'm actualy thinking of buying it! It serves a good purpose! :D

I've got the Dutch version of Ship Simulator 2008 and the menu's are in Dutch language
right from the start of the game.
***You can also install the Elbe and Furie Addon as stand alone sim.
To do this, first uninstall the main Ship Sim 2008.***
Greetz,
Robin
-
Wierd, mine is in engish while the box says dutch. But it doesn't matter.
But it's a standalone sim?
So you actually don't need the ship sim at all to play the Elbe and Furie edition? ??? :)

AAAH I have got to wait almosst 3 three full months. :( :( :( :'( :'( :'( If possiable could Vstep sell the add on on there site and split the profit and let us people who have the english and all the rest. ;D
-
Greetings,
Just be patient,the day will come.

I just received this add on. Now i was trying to register this license key and get the this message: "The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:
* No valid license key entered."
Do more people have this?
-
Is this addon compatible with Windows XP,and can you chose the language that you would perfer ??? ??? ???
-
I believe the first edition of this extra game(add-on) is only in dutch.
However,i the new year there will be an english version to availlable.
Marc
-
Well then, i just ordered it, i think, hope? It's a very simple order-form, and a very simple notification.
Do i get an e-mail? How do i pay?
But i'm looking forward to this add-on! Dutch history at it's best ! ;D
-
After installing the add-on Elbe and Furie edition my ss2008 was corrupted. In the dutch forum i found a way how to install but it is not completly correct now. I have now version 1.012 instead of 1.015 witch i had before the add-on Elbe and Furie was installed.
I installed this way:
1. ss2008 first version
2. patch 1.1
3. add-on for ss2008
4. language patch
5. add-on Elbe and Furie.
Now i have some strange messages (wrong language) in the missions.
-
www.modelbouwzwolle.tk (http://www.modelbouwzwolle.tk) for pictures of the elbe
-
Is the Elbe/Furie add on available for english users yet ?
Money is sitting in my account ready to send for this add on . . .and help these lovely old tugs.
Chris
-
Yea how long untill the add on is going to be ready. ??? ;D
-
As long as it takes, I would say.. ::)
Seriously though. Everyone knows by now that VSTEP is very busy finishing the coming Addon. So my educated guess would be they will focus on the next thing after that's released... And as they allready hinted about the Elbe & Furie, I guess it could be up next.
A date, however, is not known!

Fred

i am still waiting for the addon with the two new ships any idea how much the addon wil cost

Hello Paul, for the boxversion Elbe Furie addon go to www.furie.nl ;)
This cost about € 15.00 ;)
-
The 2 will be released as single vessel English downloads in 2 and 3 weeks from now, each for £6.00 ;)

yes i know that now since posting this there have been many posts about them 2 ships on different treads also that is the neatherlands one and is not for the uk
-
cant wait to see this it will be great to have some more ships to play with
-
especially some steam tugs! ;D
-
you do know that the only ships coming out are a steam tug and one other
-
yea, The Elbe and Furie, they're both steam tugs.
-
Elbe is not a steam tug.
Elbe was built in 1959, Furie in 1916.
-
its not ??? diesel i assume then....hmm don't know what made me think it was steam. Now i know the Furie is steam ;)
-
Ahoy Ship(sim)mates
Few answers to a few questions:
@ markstrat & Saphire: You asked for screenies? Here they are (more will follow).
I think that the sealords of that container vessel were a bit surprised to see those two tugs and didn't watch out where they where sailing ;D
@ lazano: Yes it's Win XP compatible.
Regards
Aad
-
Those shots are good!
How do you like the vessels?
-
Love them, especial the Furie. In my younger years, long, long ago, I was a deckhand on a steam tug. Not a seagoing, but hey, a steam tug is a steam tug. And now, when I zoom in at the funnel (see screenie), I almost can smell the lovely aroma off overheated steam, burning coal and hot grease.
-
Good shot!
I remember when I was a kid, near to where we lived there was a roadbridge over the main London to Portsmouth, Southampton and West Country railway line. There were loads of steam trains going under that bridge. The station (Wlaton-on-Thames) was nearby and had a lot of trains stopping there.
As they pulled away and came under the bridge, we would wait until the smoke hit the bridge and then rush to the other side to see if we could touch the side before the smoke hit that side. We used to go home blackened by the smuts.
The smell of sulphurated coal and steam, and the noise will stay with me. Wonderful smells, wonderful times!
-
Ahoy Ship(sim)mates,
Prepare yourself for a series of screenies from the Furie and the Elbe.
The Furie likes the sea, she goes trough it like a destroyer on the 3rd pic, though she makes only 9 knots at that moment. Rudder and propellor out of the wet on the 5th pic .
<edit typo >
-
Here come more of the Furie.
-
The weather improved, there she goes towards the sunset.
-
Five shots from the bridge
-
Some more from the bridge
-
Well, somebody left the door open, so let's have a look outside.
Oh, the sun is almost under. Let's go for Rotterdam
-
What is that in my Binoc's ? Seems the Furie
-
What is that in my Binoc's ? Seems the Furie
wow. good shots there. i think the should be look better. in a video on youtube it was just a rudder and nothing else almost

Ahoy Capt'n Best,
I bought the boxed version at http://www.furie.nl/
It just costs €URO 15,00 plus postage :). You have to require the info about the postage-fee to Norway at that same address. Inside Holland it was €URO 2,50 ;D
Be aware of a minor bug :o concerning the Horn from the Elbe and the whistle of the Furie. You can read in this topic about it.

Aad

yes thanks for the information. i might buy when it comes out in English Version ;D
-
Hmm, seems like theres hardly any smoke coming from the Furie's funnel. That stinks since shes a steam, needs a nice flow of smoke :D
-
You're so right. That's one of my wishes for any patch/add-on or new version of Ship Simulator.
In the stand-alone version of the Elbe and Furie edition ther's a nice steamwhistle hearable at the Furie, but the nice steam-plume is not visible.

Yeah, she's missing the beautiful smoke blanket coming out of her funnel, will VSTEP actually fix that in the English version? I must say i had no idea Elbe was so big and beautiful, ohh mannnnn im hungy for Elbe and FURIE NOW even more ;D ;D.Great pictures by the way, i think ill run these vessles 24-7, i love these kind so much :D.Also when a steam tug blows its whistle heavy white smoke comes out.......ohhh if only Furie would have that, i could pay 5 extra euro for the boat.... ::)
-
Well, there are a few pictures available from the internet, showing that there is almost no smoke to see above the "Furie" funnel. But it would be great to have a white steam stream from the whistle of course!

Yes, we encourage VSTEP to add black/gray/pale kind of smoke to Furie as if adds more power on the engine, and evrytime she blows her whiste white smoke coming out of her pipe spreading out randomly and loosely and slowly fading away after releasing the H button.And if those 2 addintions will be added, than SHE wiil BEE a MASTERPICE!
See below.
-
well then just wait for the download if it is out ontime it should be this week
-
yes, having steam and billowing smoke would make this model awesome! ;D
-
Must be possible. If anyone of You has ever seen the steamtrain models on Microsoft Train Simulator You know what I'm talking 'bout.
I will look for some awesome screenshots to show those people who are not familair with MSTS
-
Well, there are a few pictures available from the internet, showing that there is almost no smoke to see above the "Furie" funnel.
On the other hand Michael, Elbe needs to have her einspritzers replaced. :)
-
Here some screenshots as steamengines work in MSTS
And one from the Furie WITH smoke
-
To be honest, as I have firstly seen the "Furie" I asked VSTEP to improve her smoke. But after an internet research and a few kind words from the developers, I have to agree: there is no smoke. Well, your picture looks much more like a good old not environmental friendly steamer!
Cheers
-
MV Greenpeace could have been sold to become Elbe just because of her dysfunctioning injectors, but Furie has a fuel oil burner and emitting black fatty smoke is more a sign of sleepy engineer(s).
I think the picture was taken before his awakening? :D
Luc
-
lol - you are right! Guess it's just a heaters greeting! ;D

Or it's in her coal stoking time (prior 1957)

So you are saying that she is a modern steamer huh? Usualy there is alot of smoke coming out of that funnel of that kind of ship, but if there isnt than that must mean she is NOT coal fired.If not that what is she running on? But then can still make the white smoke right? come on im running on dry here peoples :-X , blah... environmentally friendly steamer, a true ship has nice smoke shooting out, around gray/black/white-ish colour, but not too much depending of the throttle power.So it must mean that is releasing like heat and some smoke....hmmm how odd..
-
your right she is not coal fired but she is by oil
-
your right she is not coal fired but she is by oil
HA :D, that must explain why VSTEP has not added much smoke at all on to it.But as i looked today at a similar tug, true she was not shooting smoke but like heat waves that you could see, like wavey kind of air radiating off out of the funnel, so maybe VSTEP can make that instead of nothing and that should fully complete her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vPwG2EXBcE - something like this, just look carefully at the steam (roughly)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Tug_Wattle - here's an example of a oil stem tug, maybe similar to Furie and max RPM
-
Just out of curiosity i searched "Elbe" and http://www.fritscherfamily.com/immigr_elbe.htm is what it came up with, but this ship looks different from this Elbe ??? ???
-
Well maybe they are different ships ;) With the same name.
-
yes there are many ships with the same name if each ship had a different name we would run out of things to call ships. there are also 3 britannics
-
FURIE IS HERE ;D!, and im planning to buy her close to my birthday.She will be a good present from VSTEP, good timing to :D,thanks for that.
-
what is the Elbe
-
The Elbe is a river that flows through Hamburg.
Elbe is a diesel tugboat built in 1959.
-
Ahoy Sealords,
Had a trip to Maassluis , the homeport of the Furie, today.
Made some 'LIFE' pic's of her.
If you're intrested I'll show them right here.
Regards
Aad
-
will the elbe eventually be avalible in the ship yard ??? ??? ???

Ahoy Sealords

The next posting shows Furie with another seagoing tug, the Riegel

Here are the last pic's for now.
Enjoy
Aad

Excellent pictures, Aad.
Very nice indeed! :)
Fred.
-
Hi Aad,
Now all can see what an excellent model "Furie" really is in the game. It is difficult to see the difference from the real ship. Thanks for the photos, you have a good eye for it.
Angus.
-
Good stuff, Aad.
Well done, my friend!

When is Elbe has realese on the ShipYard?

When is Elbe has realese on the ShipYard?
I'm sure it will be soon ;)
Seems to be going through a lot of testing though. That will make it better i hope ::)

Ahoy Sealords,
And almost two weeks later: Is there any news concerning the Elbe from VSTEP? Anybody?
Regards
Aad
-
Sorry Aad, but I haven't heard anything. To be honest, I wouldn't expect to hear anything before you do, anyway. :(
-
Hi Aad,
my latest information from some well-informed persons says: within August. No more, no less...

Ahoy Bottman,
Which year?

I'm sure: 2008

You can order the box, but i dont think its allready available. I guess its a pre-order.
I've got the furie allready, i just wait for that other one, but it will cost around 10 i think.
-
This is the old, Dutch only Elbe and Furie edition, brought to the Dutch players by the association that keeps these floating museums afloat, and it has been around for quite some time too. The ships that are sold on the Shipyard are/will be better than the old ones.

Ahoy Fred
And to bring a dead corps out of the closet: How about the buyers of the (crippled) Elbe & Furie Edition? Anything known about a patch or something like that to make the old vessels sound as they should? Or a discount on the Shipyard models?
Regards
Aad
<edit TYPO>
-
As the original Elbe & Furie was not sold by VSTEP, how are they obligated to replace it?
-
How ever... I cannot wait for the ELBE.
Waiting for so long really sucks!
I really thougt there would come a wave of ships to all of us... but when even the ELBE takes sooo much time..
How long time the next Ship, or even Location will take than?
I´m little dissapointed... sry... (so much egoism, BUT)
Greats..
-
...we are just working on some missions for the ELBE... ;)
-
...we are just working on some missions for the ELBE... ;)
We have one such mission ready and waiting on the Creators Forum.
Traddles produced two versions, one that requires Furie & Elbe (Failed Trip to Hamburg) and another that requires neither. (Failed Trip to Hamburg2)
-
...we are just working on some missions for the ELBE... ;)
Ahoy Bottman,
Meaning?
Is Elbe on her way to the shipyard? What to do with a mission or two (or three) for the Elbe if she is still under construction? Not everybody bought the Elbe & Furie Edition ;)

Elbe is probably coming in the next few weeks, and they made a mission because traddles is probably a beta tester and he tested the elbe and is now making missions to come with its release. ;)
-
Mission testers have had the Elbe & Furie versions since April. We’ve been testing DYN and lights files, and writing missions for testing.
