But why is Paddy 134?

But why is Paddy 134?
Not if they was converted into 3DS-file and VSTEP made the textures for it. :)
The only issue with SU is that it has no unwrap UVW function that is critical for making texture maps.

But why leave ShipSim? Especially for VS? VS contains the worst ship models I've ever seen!
-
maybe vstep said no to adding his ship and so he is moving and not all vs ships are rubbish some look finly detailed

We're gunna' miss you Paddy. :P

I guess I don't have any paper for this, so I'll just continue without it for these errors :P
"Titanic" and "Liverpool" are in the wrong "fonts"
lifeboats 1 and 2 shouldn't be covered
REAL roof of the recipricating engine room is missing
boat deck railings are gone
notice boards are missing
"S.S. Titanic" and "Liverpool" are missing from the lifeboats along with other details
NO red is visible above the water line
all funnels are of equal heights
pipes are missing from the funnels
most details are missing from the poop and forcastle decks
reserve anchor crane is poorly rendered and missing guy wires
expansion joints are missing
I'd do more, but...
1) I am going from memory and can't remember much more and
2) I'm too lazy to write much more ;D

That looks amazing!

Hi Guys,
Just to say that I've been reading through this thread and feel that the negative comments about VS are unnecessary and derogatory. I have been part of the VS community for years (as well as this SS community), and VS has been programmed up by just one man from nothing over the last 9 years - with a community all along the way. Many of the VS models you see were made years ago and so, of course, cannot be compared to today's models. There are many new excellent VS models available, although I admit that many others are not made to a desperately high standard.
ShipSim does have much better graphics and more detailed ships, but this is because a huge company is creating it! Likewise I would also admit that the VS community relations aren't always as strong as they could be, but you yourselves have to come to a reasoned judgement on that.
To conclude, please don't moan about VS on these forums...it's outright rude and just plain boring. I have come here to read/discuss about SS & related topics - not to read about how much everyone hates VS. I will not be making reference to VS after this post.
Think before you post - you know who you are.
Thanks for reading, and please think a bit more openly. :-)
James
P.S. Perhaps this thread could now be locked so that other discussions can now return to SS?
-
In that case, show me a good VS Titanic model, please ;D
-
I do partly agree with you James, although VSTEP is not a huge company.. :)
There will always be moaning on "rival forums" about the competition, I think.
SS isn't really a favorite subject on the VS forum either, as far as I have experienced.
You cannot deny that there's a similar thing going on over there aswell.
I've seen the same things on other related, "rival forums". I guess it's the way of things. :-\
But you do have a point about the VS models. A lot are out of date. A lot are just not that good, but there are some great vessels out there made by very talented people aswell.
VS just didn't do it for me though, but we can't all be into the same things of course. :)
I'm pretty much put off VS most by my first and only VS forum (community) experience and I chose not to come back there again. I won't go into details but it was related to SS and was plain childish and fanboy-like, so to speak..
So personally, I don't really like to see too many VS related topics here, or VS models displayed in the NVDG forum, as they simply do not belong here... But that's just my opinion of course. I personally wouldn't post any SS material or discussions on the VS boards, so I often wonder why we have so much VS content on the SS forum.
I think we have a really good community here, and I also take other fora into account that I am and was a part of.
I'm also sorry to see one of the members go of course. So Paddy, take care of yourself! Too bad you're leaving. I hope you are going to find what you are looking for on the VS forums. Don't be a stranger!
Well... Unless you want to be. :P
See you around!
Regards,
Fred
-
In that case, show me a good VS Titanic model, please ;D
Make it yourself !!! ::)
And I agree with James about all this VS vs SS nonsense. It's like kids who argue about what is best of what...

And I agree with James about all this VS vs SS nonsense. It's like kids who argue about what is best of what...
I picked a side (Nintendo) in the console wars (click this text (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_wars) for more info), so when I came here I thought it was a similar case.
-
Yes but it isn't ;)
If you have 1000 people in front of you and they all have played both Virtual Sailor and Ship Simulator and you ask them the question:
What's the best one of these two games?
..then you will not get one answer. You will get dozens of answers and reasons for their opinions because there is people on this forum (like me and James) who also play both games (SS and VS) and find favorite sides in both games. I cud always find pluses and minuses for both VS and SS if I want to...but I don't get the idea to post these in this forum when there is a list of minuses of VS that actually cud be posted at the VS forum instead.
If you request a extremely detailed Titanic model for VS you simply post it at the VS forum. If you think that the Titanic made for VS isn't good enough- fine! But there are other people that may find that Titanic model great! So you should be a little careful to go far in your judgment when reviewing a game, car, train, airplane, shoes...whatever. If you did post the stuff you wrote about Titanic at the VS forum I can promise you that you would be dead meat over there pretty soon. Yeah you would feel it like a war because I know...because I have done the same stupid thing myself when I reviewed someones add-on over there...
The other thing you can do is to keep if for yourself and not post it at all. Then at least you don't get overdriven by repliers with strong opinions and that at the end attacks the poster instead of the case.
To the last - if someone likes VS don't attack them. If someone like SS don't attack them. That's what's called respect. Then at least you can stay out of real trouble.
I think that you know this already so I end it here...bye! ;)
-
yes allthough i do beleave in telling like it is. i'm not one for letting someone down genterly over in vs i would probley be dead for say a lot of there ships are undetailed and badly made but that is just me

Acoording to the first link, there is an "improved" Titanic VS model...
When in reality, the only improvement I can see is that "Titanic" is written in yellow.
the lattering face is still way off, though

try download the improved Titanic here: http://vslib.maxxflow.com/browse.php?cat=10&page=6 (http://vslib.maxxflow.com/browse.php?cat=10&page=6) and if you try sinking it on Vs7. it will sink like it did in 1912. ;D

But I don't have VS.
Because I go for quality and accuracy in virtual models :P

I'll tell you what, show me a VS Titanic model that is good by my standards, THEN I'll consider getting it ;)
It just feels like I'd be betraying VSTEP if I bought it, as I usually don't see 2 companies competing in the same industry as being on good terms with eachother.
-
yes i like ship sim more they have more detailed ship and ports. but then vs has nore ships and ports so realy they both have good and bad points each

it is still no were nere as good as our titanic and they have the cheak to say our game is rubbish and removed

i am sorry to say be this person is still very active on the ship simulator forum and yes he has changed his name but lets hope we can drop the vs v ship and and which R.M.S TITANIC is better
-
The reason for all this SS v VS is because everyone wants to stand up for there favroit game. In acutality both games are not perfect. and the only reason Vs has lots of addons is because older. Also the titanic model is indipendently made and not made to be the best. The person might just be trying to do there best. How would you like it if you made a model and people talked bad about it after you put time and effort into it. Just think about it for a little while. ;)
-
and the person who is saying all the bed things about ship simulator on the vs forum. but 3 mouth ago this same person on this forum voted ship sim as the best shipping game ever and i have a email from saken or as he is known on this forum R.M.S TITANIC
so if you have any brains you would have worked out who shipsimer is by now
if it brakes any rules pleace remove the link
Attachment removed, DJM.
