very practicable: she has a Handle like a shopping trolley or a baby buggy.
-
In case of Engine Failure it's easier to push her. :D
-

-
No it's just so the ship looks bigger ;D
-
In case of Engine Failure it's easier to push her. :D
...and it's much more easy to through her away some times... ::)

:) :) :) :)
the ship is really perfect, not even the handle to threw it away is missing.
-
Hold on guys, I think that's a rear spoiler.. ;D
-
i think the ship was in Bergen(Norway) in 2006-2007
-
I think it's the Grand Princess
Definitely the Grand Princess, saw a show on it being built. Very impressive design!
-

LOL 8) 8) 8)
-
Doesent the newest royal carribian cruise ship freedom of the seas have a spoiler like that too? Or does it just have an open back ????
-
how up to date is virtual earth?
-
Well, you can't realy tell in general. My Home towns area is at least 1 year old, maybe older. But there might be regions with newer pics
-
i just had ago with the web one, its new in some places, old in others
-
And it is called google Earth, by the way ;D.
-
By the way it's not. It's called virtuell Earth and is from M$ :D

WOW. Just look at the diffrence in picture. And that is why we encourage you to get google Earth instead ;D.
Apoigies from me der Bandit. I have never heard of the name Virtual Earth before and I thought you were mixing it up with google Earth :-[. Is it a forign software? Is that why I have never heard of it?
-
its from microsoft i think. i have a feeling its even older than google earth :-\
-
Yes it's from M$ and the good Quality pics you have in the Birds Eye view. Those are much more detailed then the ones in Google Earth. The one in my screenshot is a good example and it was not yet the closed distance possible.
The pictures for the birds eye view are made by a plane wit high resolution cams passing the areas in different directions. That's why you actually can see objects from different sides.

Hi DerBandit,
Virtual Earth from M$, (I'm not a fan of MicroSoft, I put up with their software because it is used world wide, (I have seen better windows systems)), is free to download but you need an authentic XP/Vista installed.
It is good but some of the areas are older than others, if you look at the image below you will see that the Millenium Tower in Portsmouth, (which was started in about 2002), the footings are there but that is all. There is probably a 5 year gap between the two areas.
There are only a few areas that have the Birdseye view available. If you go outside of a major city or town then there are not that many.
I like it and use it all the time for finding routes to places that I don't know. I also use it to look at areas suggested in the SS08 forum as a place that should be included like The Thames and Liverpool.
Regards, Dave
Sorry, I had to edit this post as the pictures were over the memory limit

Here is the other picture that I wanted to include in the last post.
