She looks great. However, she has got to spew out that much smoke once she's added to the game, for authenticity. Heh

Any bridge shots? I imagine her wheel is off center due to the funnel.

I would be nice to actually see people on the bridge.
Just a thought.
BTW: Great work.  :D

Well, what I meant is, having the wheel in the center of the bridge is a poor design idea for the original vessel. If you are going to put the funnel ahead of the wheel house, then either shift the wheel or the funnel so no ones view is being blocked. Again, not attacking the modeler, attacking the original designer of the actual ship design.

Greetings,
Most of the wheelman are realy steering behind the wheel,but in this case you have to stay beside the wheel.This is like you see,because of the funnel,but it's not very weird.
Even i ,when i was sailing(sailvessel),i stayed on the side of my wheel.
It's comfortable,i think,and i did not look on the mast(better view)also for docking it's a good place.

I know it is common to stand next to the wheel. I am just saying I think the concept is not the best design.

HA HA HA! And with all the steam that comes out of Lusitania (Assume we get it added to the game) and then you are killing the world. HA HA

Greetings,
Yes,i do like this vessel to,the model of this old-timer is just great.I hope to sail her to in the future,in the ship-sim game.
However,i think this kinds of model,are build years before Al Gore's "An inconvenient truth".
Lucky this model is on computer,so the smoke is not real,and if it gets real,please do check your monitor! :) :)

I do not, no. I am actually a big supporter of taking care of the environment, however, Greenpeace takes their efforts too far, too often. Look them up on youtube - they ram fishing and whaling vessels. They need to stop fighting with violence. That, in the end, will make matters worse.
Title: Re: "Clyde puffer"project.Comments and Updates
Post by: AriesDW on June 01, 2007, 11:25:18
Regardless - I cannot wait to get a crack at commanding the Puffer in SS2008.

I looked them up and was disgusted...

Post by: Eemspoort on June 05, 2007, 13:23:21
Yeah, i've seen that stuff to. To bad they wreck theyre ships like that. They often have nice vessels, but they tread them wrong. And what about the scratched paint that falls in to the water, that ain't pollution?? :P

Oh well, what are we talking about anyway, let the "Puffer" make smoke like he never did before! ;D

I like this vessel! :D

Good  news.  It is now commonly beleived among people who actually know what they are talking about that carbon emissions do not contribute to global warming!  It is a myth, developed from a theory formed over 20 years ago by a scientist who was suggesting possible causes of gloabl warming.  Let the smoke flow free! ;D
Title: Re: "Clyde puffer"project.Comments and Updates
Post by: Shipaddict on June 05, 2007, 16:46:37
I don't agree with whaling myself but you shouldn't ram vessels.

Captain Davies: Yay!!! As you say let the smokie run free! ;D

In that case we need Mauritania and Lusitania FAST! Has anyone seen the amount of smoke those two billowed out?

out of curiosity, will these vessels be availiable for free download when SS2008 is released?
Title: Re: "Clyde puffer"project.Comments and Updates

That is our intention at the NVDG - yes.

Sadly at the moment i don't think any ships have been released

But we knew that would be the case. Someone from Vstep (Pjotr?) said here that the devs were too busy adding all the new features to the game (and there really are a lot of them!) to add any ships other than the ones they had panned.

So, sad perhaps, but not unexpected.  And have you really "worn out" the ships from the add-on?

Cheers,
Michael

Haha yes!

PC needs updating so don't often play the addon. To bad graphics until computers sorted. Not worn out yet!

Hi guys

is the clyde puffer going to be a playable game in the future of SS08? sorry for asking its just i don't usually come here often, but i'm beginning to come out of my hole now haha :D I must say i LOVE the clyde, i know a lot about them too.
Title: Re: "Clyde puffer"project.Comments and Updates
Post by: NathanC on June 10, 2008, 15:14:07
The same model is in VS as a playable ship, and VSTEP already have the model, so it can't be difficult just to code the dynamics in. I'd love to see her in the game though
Title: Re: "Clyde puffer"project.Comments and Updates
Post by: llamalord on June 22, 2008, 03:15:13
Is this the same model that V-STEP uses in... I think it's Hamborg as a perminant(part of the environment) static ship? ???

yes this shiip that vstep use is used in other ports aswell like merselli
