In Case no one else spotted it, via the twitter site

A InCat 86m to be released "soon"
Also, looking at the screenshot - it looks to have working stern loading ramps :O
:2thumbs:
-
That looks really COOL
:2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
*wishs to sail it
-
yeah looks good, trying to work out her name...
"Something Marlin"?
Hmm, The company name could be very useful though as well... :angel:
I wonder what font they used, for future CCC textures... !:)
-
yay! (says someone who never ever saw a InCat in his entire life.....) wait a min... channel ferries where did i see that name before?
-
great! a big fast ferry
-
WOOOW :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

From Twitter
"Testing the new AddOn that will soon arrive for Ship Simulator Extremes!"
so yeah - we will soon have it :D
-
OK, looking at the picture, she looks to be based off of the Condor (Normandie) Vitesse (Hull 044)
If you look you have the big company name, then some more writing on the stern, which is in thre same place as the Brittany Ferries company name (BF Charter her for the Poole-Cherbourg route, and she aslo operates for Condor on the CI route, hence the two companies):

that would be cool to have that, looks like the speed ferries logo on the side.

SSE Got a new incat
and im waiting
-
SSE HAS NOTHING untill V-Step say so as far as I know its romour
speculation 1 photo on a facebook page means nothing to me I will wait .
-

Technically V-Step did say so, since they posted it on their ship sim twitter..
-
How are you so sure that it is vStep. I don't see anywhere that it's a real Vstep. Everyone could make an account called ShipSim...
And why only on plixi and now on there real social networks site? ???
-
SSE HAS NOTHING untill V-Step say so as far as I know its romour
speculation 1 photo on a facebook page means nothing to me I will wait .
But its the official ShipSim Twitter page...? And I only found it because the Admin Swenson pointed out it was on there... :-\

Not exactly random posters...
-
Well, in the past we have seen some ships on official sites from VSTEP, which we never got for playing. But we could hope together... :doh:
-
Well lets hope so - judging from the picture its in a mission too...
but why post pictures on a public feed if they "may not be coming"...?
-
Some times it is just a question of time, in other cases maybe a question of feasibility or usage rights. Let's wait and see and hope... :angel:
-
Well lets hope so - it looks a great vessel :)
Have waited a long time for a big Cat
-
Guess you are waiting for a rough ride from Dover to Calais with it, eh??? :thumbs:
-
hehe yes ;D
-
Guess you are waiting for a rough ride from Dover to Calais with it, eh??? :thumbs:

Big cat ...
That is a big cat..Very impressive.. :)
-
How did you get the INCat in SSE!! ??? ???
-
It appears to possibly be a add-on...
-
My question : How long will the steam users of SSE wait?
Because the steam users still never saw anything of the DLC pack :'(
-
No .. but i can drive it ... just not in free roam .. go into mission editor put sigita where ever you want it and then on the mission you can drive it .. i found this out earlyer ... its bridge it very detaled :2thumbs:
Ryan

-
No need to fear, it will be for all versions.
Good, hell would break lose else :)
-
No need to fear, it will be for all versions.
Hi Frank,
Do you have any more pic of the ship? and an estimate when it will be released?
Ryan
-

I've already emailed them asking the same thing, they said they can't release any more information about it ;)

or it wont be that exciting anymore

Got to keep it a good release eh. I've even installed ship sim again for this... twiddling my thumbs now though :sleepy:

why are they taken with a cameara? why not a screenshot? or are these leaks ;D

Not an InCat :doh:
But very nice still ;D
-

Its called what happens when you foolishly take away my favourite game camera makes getting nice screenshots harder... :doh:
-
hahaha... ;D
@Ralphy.. come on.. get into the spirit of it. ;)
-
why do Vstep want to show all their ships?
by the time the pack gets released it wont be that exciting anymore..
they should only show 1 or 2 pics and keep the rest as a secret
-

Shhh TFK - Otherwise they won't show us anymore...

If they dont show anything people like me moan and when they do show something other people moan ::)
Personally I'm happy with that one picture until the release, gives away a bit and also leaves some exciting questions unanswered. And since its an Incat the excitement will never die for me :)
-
thats true,
But i dont want it to be a too much of a show off like what they did with SSE,
they nearly showed every single ship on the SSE list!
i dont want the same to happen to this addon pack,
most of time they usually show all ships after the release for people who havent downloaded it yet
-
that ferry is nice! maybe thats the reason why TFM's channel queen didnt get trough
-

Considering its probably not going to be free - you would want to know what you are buying... ;)

Nah - its still not a D-C ferry ;D
-
Nope, those kind of things were indeed NOT a factor in the judging of the CCC.
Only mesh and texture quality and things like polycount and detail level. The craftsmanship, not the potential ingame use.
At least not at that stage. It's still a business to be run, so it still has to be economically feasible in the end. But the judges did not give marks for that side of things.
And quite right TFM.. to show people what they have bought AFTER they buy it.. that's a bit silly. :P
Fred.
-
hmm so you mean show all the ships?
or isnt it better to show SOME of the ships
-

Fine - I will take your £20, but I won;t let you see what's in the box until I have the money...
See my point ;)
Not asking for a lot, but a couple of pics are always nice :)
-
the another ship looks also nice
waited long for these ships :2thumbs:
-
2 pics of a ship side and back
-
Man you still dont get it TFM!
its ok to show those two pics but its isnt good to show ALL the ships,
keeping some ships secret might be nice too..
-

Very well...
but you seem to be missing my point
would you go into a shop and just pick up a box of items and pay money for it, not knowing what's inside...?
::)
-
Nice a New york ferry ;D
Can't wait now :2thumbs:
Kyle
-

You dont just walk into a shop, and buy something, you look to see whats in the box first dont you? I can see what your saying not to give it away, but me like many others would like to see what else is in it
-
CAN WE GO BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE?
-
CAN WE GO BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE?
Good idea !:)
So we have a nice InCat, and a New York ferry... :D

I may be wrong, but looking at the screenshot, I think that it is one of the Staten Island Ferries that runs in New York Harbour.
Mike :)

Nah 26 meters, same as the smaller older length 74m incats. The newer 112m incats like norman arrow are 30.50m wide
-
thats quite an average size for a incat,
it might be the angle of the picture that must have confused you

Back to topic? ::)
-
patients towards the release of this Addon is needed ;D
-
fastest replies ever
-
Its gone very quiet...no more news about the InCat... or the NY Ferry... Or any other vessels that maybe included...
:'(
-
oh yes its been quiet now,
wheres Swenson who always comes and says
*And whats this?*
;D
-
no more news on the incat :o :o
*sits very silently*
-
I don't know, but this forum are more active than other game forums. So I think vStep should make more out of it, give us more news, video how they work and what they are working with. That will make this forum even more active and maybe get more people to play it and discuss on this forum. Just two low quality pictures of those ships are not enough in my eyes ::)

for people who dont know how Coromuel looks like.... look at these pics to give you a taste of how she looks like and what her size is ;)
but i'm sure most of you must have noticed this ship in some of the missions as she commonly appears in missions involving Sydney Harbour,
(http://i51.tinypic.com/2ch2xzb.png)
^^MN Coromuel docked at Terminal 8 of the Dover Eastern Docks
(http://i52.tinypic.com/sde7bm.png)
^^This above picture shows what her size is. She is quite small but was able to carry quite a few cars!
(http://i54.tinypic.com/soaa2c.png)
^^MN Coromuel on her way to Calais
(http://i56.tinypic.com/2d9usn8.png)
^^Getting darker as the sunset approaches the Dover strait
(http://i51.tinypic.com/16h9aqf.png)
^^A view from her stern ( you can see the stern door where all the cars enter)
Got the taste of how she looks like?
Not yet? :o
ok then i will give you this link of this video on youtube of her in VS, ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDeQG7Ezg7E
:thumbs:
she is specially build ferry that was build in the 70s.
She is a small ship but beauty in shape and colours.
-
that looks amazing :o
-
yes i like it too!
i really want to sail her :)
-
may i ask where those pics where found?
-
where else do you think i got it from?
i got it from SSE! ;)
oh wait :doh:
i get what you mean now,
i got it from mission editor and used my picture skills to make pictures of the ship
-
............ :angel:
It's a nice fictional ferry i must say ;)
-
............ :angel:

She was the Visenti of her time...
-
yep thats her!
Sinaloa Star!
oh well, now you know she's real!
and you get a chance to sail her in SSE!
http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/BajaFerries.html
but if you want pics of coromuel then click this link:
http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Mexican_Papenburg.html#anchor236020
she was changed into 3 names through the service but remained as Coromuel and in 2004 got changed to Sinaloa Star!
A peace of art, i would say

I want to do Dover/Calias right away with here 8)

I want to do Dover/Calias right away with here 8)
Technically they never operated from Dover - They did Ramsgate-Dunkerque... :doh:
-
well as long as i can arrive and dock in calias im happy :D
-
now she operates in Baja, California
Dont worry Oceandream!
TFM and TFK are here to help with any Ferry related stuff you need to know about ;D
and yes, she can enter calais.. i will get some pics of her arrival in Calais ready for you ;)
-
now she operates in Baja, California
Dont worry Oceandream!
TFM and TFK are here to help with any Ferry related stuff you need to know about ;D
As long as bye Baja you mean the Great Port of Baja in the Sky
She has already had her... "one-way beach Holiday" :'(
-
Baja doesnt exist?
i though she still operated in La Paz?
Ah so that port has died and gone to heaven?
(i got 8 pics for you Oceandream)

Ah TFM you could have said that straight away!
i got confused with the Sky and holiday.
Yes i was actually meant to sa that she operated in La Paz.
*dont mind the word *Still*
-
:o :o :o
Ohhh already? :-\
Poor ship
Yes TFK i'm waiting :D
-
Yeah I know :(

Please give positive comments on my pictures because i have spend lots of time making these pictures and editing them to a smaller size because Tinypic.com only has a maximum of 5mb.
-
Nice :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Wait
You made the foto's? Forgive me if forgot something
Is she already in the mission editor? :o
-
yep she is available as a Static and Ai ship ;D
But do notice that you cant sail her though and the new Coromuel that is going to be released as Addon has a few new features and looks a little different in small mistakes from the older version.
-
And do you like the pictures?
it took me long time to put them ready and resize them using paint to make it suitable for 5mb limitations
-
their awsome :thumbs:

The smoke is coming out of a dummy funnel on that ship. Something very fishy there, must be a bad model in VS. Not really surprising though.

Ok here are the pics of MN Coromuel you had been waiting for:
Coromuel in Calais
Please give positive comments on my pictures because i have spend lots of time making these pictures and editing them to a smaller size because Tinypic.com only has a maximum of 5mb.
These are great pics. I'm glad that Coromuel is finally made a playable vessel - I have wanted to play her ever since she first appeared in SS2008. Her size is perfect - RED EAGLE is too small and too slow (really only suitable for short trip on estuary rivers) and PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM is too big for my liking.

Agreed. The Coromuel is very nice, she's a very nice vessel to navigate and to manoeuvrer with! The dev's did a nice job on her :)
-
The only thing that is missing is the permission to use her in a Brittany Ferries livery as "Corbiere".. :-\
Would be nice to have in VIKING LINE colors too... :angel:

And as EARL GRANVILLE in Sealink livery. [*drools*]

And as "Olau............" - to be continued! :doh:

Hope it is the Coromuel...One of my favourite ferries in VS ;D

lol, yeah APOLLO and her 7 sister vessels were very successful and versatile, having been chartered or sold to many ferry companies during their long career. Lots of liveries to choose from! :thumbs:
-
And as EARL GRANVILLE in Sealink livery. [*drools*]
Now that would be good :)
-
A good livery is to have a ship with nice colours,
Mosty of the Europe ferries have either a red or a blue livery..
Would be nice to have Sealink livery or maybe a naked white with stripes livery

The Classc Sealink British Ferries Livery is one of the best, I think...

is that the dark blue hull with red funnel or the naked white hull with light blue and yellow stripes?

you can find her in Mission Editor as a static or Ai ship ;)
but after the addon she will be available as a player ship

The ferries will be available through a DLC and not via the patch. The patch will be 1.3.5, for your interest :)

All together or singally?

That's not too bad considering that Dover-Calais ferries from similar era - such as Townsend Thoresen's FREE ENTERPRISE class and Sealink's DOVER had roughly the same draught. It will be much better than PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM's 6m draught :thumbs:
but looks similar to this one:
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/roro-ferry-3d-model/397532
What a lovely model - it would be nice if the bow visor can go up and down, but that's probably too much to ask for.

That ferry look's like this one too.

i think he was asking when the DLC pack is coming out.
All i know that its coming out SOON

It is still under construction. If you want it good, you'll have to wait a little bit. Guess the next patch is more important, in fact the next DLC pack is more exciting! :thumbs:

Another DLC?
what is that DLC about then? :o

1) its not a crabber...
but a alaskan DLC would be nice

i wonder if we are soon going to get some more updates

I thought for a minute there was something better then ferries xD
*Sits and waits for the DLC pack to come out... :angel:

i can patiently wait :)
But i do hope that between the weeks we get updated with how the ferries are going.. Maybe some more pics of the SAME ferries like the Incat's Stern and bridge. Or the SIF's Bridge and maybe even Coromuel from Cam 1 view
-
In my opinion there is nothing better or more exciting, than ferries. That's why I used to ask the developers to implement ferries from the very beginning of my engagement here! And you'll hopefully see the results of my efforts.. ::)

After many many times of being left in the dark you're exactly the type of person the forum needed to keep us informed and up to date!
Good work! :2thumbs:
As for the new ferries they look superb!! Even though I will never be able to sail in them since my pc is so slow :(

And the cute little Rotterdam ferry ;D
And the NY Ferry is different... :angel:
And the little Pax vessel... ;D

*sigh*
Well I'm very very happy, I've finally got what I've always wished for, plus more. Never did I expect the Incat to have working loading ramps, and the ability for cars to drive on and off. I agree from times, its impossible to make everyone happy, but from whats been created, I can't see why anyone would be unhappy..

The cliffs of Dover look soo much better when they raise up over the horizon when you're doing 45 knts ;D
-
The price is quite worthful for this pack so i think this pack will come in my hand on the date it gets released!
Can i ask a question now:
How long did it take vstep to make this pack? since when did they start this pack?
If i know the answer to this i might know how much time it would take to make another of these packs maybe based on a different vessel
Another question:
In the film i didnt see the Albatros' ramp go down.. but is there a function for that?

And Channel Ferries Font? :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

TFM still wants to know the font for his Ferry,
But one thing i personally would say is that the Channel Ferries Colour is Black and some bright dull blue/green colour that stands out beautifully from the ship itself.. In my opinion Channel Queen's red might not suit the bright green but maybe using the font to just have a white text would be nice

No way am I going to PAY for the ferry pack. I refuse to buy anything further from Vstep! They gave us an incomplete game, which I am not too happy about! 50 dollars is a lot of money and I was expecting WAY MORE. The only reason I stick around here is because of the members, not extremes... >:(

They're making patches to improve the game for you for FREE, Now what do you say about that?

They better make patches for free. If I were to give my boss something half done and say I'll improve it later, you know where I'd be headed, straight out the door!

Well thats a problem with your personal PC,
My Comp works fine with SSE and after 1.3 i havent had any crashes
If you Like SS08 and hate SSE then why dont you just play ss08? Its fun too and has allot of enviroments and ships,

Surly that should cause no problems.
Your clockspeed is to low, you need at least 3.0 ghz and you have 2.8.
But maybe you can try to disable hyperthreading.

It's not too low, its a 4 core CPU with '8' cores.

OK Mr. Frank,
a question about the new Addon:
Is it better to have a new Comp. like above or is it better to go in the cellar and search for the old Modell mith an 8880GT 256 MB and a AMD K2 ?
Can I play with a modern Comp this Addon or have i Problems with the frames? What Comp you use for produce the Youtube Video. i will play also in such a qualitiy. Please help me. ;D

Yeah, I do miss the good wash from SS08

I really appreciate the new ferry addon! The pictures & video are looking great and I am happy to be able to sail some new interesting ships.
It sure would be nice to add the ramp function also to the Pride of Rotterdam and the Red Eagle in a later patch.

Has a working stern ramp at least
I think the bow is fixed though :(

shame :-\ would have been good to have it open and close the same way the other ships ones do :thumbs: hopefully the feature is useable on multiplayer too :2thumbs: and maybe some improved dynamics and better performance might come with the pack ::)

I think that's unlikely, as there will be some folks who are not interested in ferries and won't be buying the add-on.

"Albatross IV" has an opening bow visor. "Red Eagle" has opening doors and gates. Etc, Etc.

The ferry add-on. OH WOW. :2thumbs:
Vstep has really surprised us as we all were expecting 3 ferries. When I was watching the Vstep video on You Tube, I almost fell off my seat when I saw the river ferry as it looks very familar to the one that used to work on the river Clyde. She used to be called DE HOORN and was renamed SOUND OF SLEAT when she was purchased by Western Ferries in 1988. Sold a few years ago, she is now a successful floating diving vessel based at Holy Loch.
Any of the guys from Netherlands - can you tell me the name of the River ferry in SSE?
-
She is called "Rozenburg" as in the name of the landing on the south side of the river opposite Maasluis. ( And her ramps and gangways are operational.) Great fun to drive, just wait and see. ??? :doh: Fore and aft Voith-Schneider props like "Red Eagle" but controlled by levers (see the pictures on the website announcement of the Ferry pack.)
-

Cheers Traddles - SOUND OF SLEAT was my favourite Western Ferries vessel, so it'll be nice to play her in SSE even though I know it's not exactly the same vessel - it's close enough and that's good enough for me :thumbs:
-
"Red Eagle" has opening doors and gates.
:o
did my eyes decieve me or does that say Red Eagle!!!
even though my pc can't handle extreames that well i think i might buy the pack, that has just tipped it over the edge
Wow, that was my 1000th post, took along time to get it...was trying to make it a helpful post but ohwell ::)
"Red Eagle" is not part of the ferry pack, she is already in the game.
Traddles.
I know but at first the post implied her doors now opened, but you have since editied your post :doh: will still think about buying the ferry add on
-
looks like this pack is going to sell allot for vstep ::)
i also found the location of rozenburg ferry, and the sistership of her
(http://i55.tinypic.com/sd3all.png)
I cant believe we are going to have real moving cars that enter and leave the ship!
-
Notice the loading areas in that picture. Believe it about the cars too.
-
(http://i53.tinypic.com/2rdx5ph.png)
and
(http://i51.tinypic.com/10x7ha0.png)
Can ramps be also lowered when your at sea or not attached to a pier?
another question:
Is there any news about Marseille's Ferry berths being added?
That area is increasingly becoming populated by Mp servers
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2ducty0.png)
wouldbe nice though as in my research and days on SSE (nearly everyday on MP) i found out that most people use Marseille as the common Enviroment and more and more people are requesting the missing berths for Marseille where they could berth the POR.
-
"Albatross IV" has an opening bow visor. "Red Eagle" has opening doors and gates. Etc, Etc.
Oh Excellent!"!!
And Red Eagle is as well? even better ;D
-
Oh Excellent!"!!
And Red Eagle is as well? even better ;D
so
POR=Working stern doors
Red E=Working doors
Albatross=Working doors
Rozenburg=Working doors
Big Apple=Working Doors (forgot the real name)
Small tour ferryboat= Working doors (video proofs it)
-

I'm pretty certain that would be a serious breach of the SOLAS regs (and a heavy telling-off from the MCA if you're in British waters) ;) :police:

About de Rozenburg ferry: these are the two ferries on this route in real life, not sure which is the one in the trailer, it seems to have some custom color, probably legal reasons:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Blankenburg_%28ferry%29
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Staeldiep_(ferry)
On those pictures you also see that each pier has a different height due to the tide here. During rush hour they maintain a 10 minute timetable from both sides. There are plans to make a tunnel here by the way, which could result in less cars taking the ferry.

Not another tunnel :(
I wonder why the Coromuel was renamed - she was already in game, so why not keep the same name...
-
Guess how the Herald of Free Enterprise capesized with the loss of many, many lives.. ::)
hmm true but i was just asking if that was possible or would it only work when your attached to the shore?
I got a reaction from my friend who only likes hitting and sinking ships because he told me that he would go near ship and press the ramp button to hit the other ship but i told him to buy Silent hunter because he onyl ruins his own purchase and wastes it..
Thats why needed to know if you could also lower it whilst your sailing?
-
Guess how the Herald of Free Enterprise capesized with the loss of many, many lives.. ::)
Indeed, what a terrible tragedy. I still remember very clearly that evening when the BBC newsflash came up on my grandmother's TV showing a grainy imagine of orange hull on its side.
Are you able to confirm if the bow/stern doors will not open while the vessel at sea?
-
Why did they have to call it Albatross IV?
Coromuel sounded better or did they do that to make it sound fictional as most of Vstep's shiphave a fictional name (NOT ALL OF THEM)
-
I wonder why the Coromuel was renamed - she was already in game, so why not keep the same name...
Probably due to copyright issues, so Vstep cannot use the original name in SSE. :(

But she was already in game as AI... ???

A Question: Does each ship have a interior? (with interior i dont mean bridge)
( i would definetly want to know if *Albatross IV (COROMUEL) has a interior
-
But she was already in game as AI... ???
Hmm, that's a very good point, TFM. I'll bow out gracefully and let the Mods answer that ;D

Just as in reality it is not possible to open doors or ramps whilst underway in SS Extremes. This would be totally wrong.
-
Just as in reality it is not possible to open doors or ramps whilst underway. This would be totally wrong.
Ahh - but bow visors have to be opened before reaching the berth, but they have to have a watertight door behind them which of course is closed
-

Not unless the ship is called the Herald Of Free Enterprise :lol:
-
I was, as per the questions asked, talking about underway AT SEA. ::) This being the main lesson learnt by the "Herald" incident.
-
Herald Of Free Enterprise was pretty much at sea.. :P
-
I was, as per the questions asked, talking about underway AT SEA. ::)
Ahh... but what defines "At Sea"... :doh:

I'm sorry I give up. IF you cannot understand plain English I will not comment further.
-
I'm sorry I give up. IF you cannot understand plain English I will not comment further.
:doh:
Sorry, my error :(
I meant in the game - in Real Life, I have seen the Seafrance Cezanne raise her bow visor just as she enters the port of Calais, but would this still be classed as at Sea in the game itself...? So If I am sailing the Albatross IV into Calais does it need to be stopped to raise the visor...?
To me, At sea might represent leaving the confines of the harbour
-
:doh:
Sorry, my error :(

As I understand it, this used to be almost common practice...I suppose for ventilating out the fumes etc. My dad has remarked several times that whilst he was on heavy goods, the doors would often remain open for quite some time.
I don't suppose it makes much of a difference in game though...to me it's the material whether bow doors open or not.

Ahh - but the inner watertight doors are closed -its just it wouldn't be able to lift it once its at the berth
-
Whoops, someone forgot to close the stern ramp fully while the vessel is underway at sea. :doh:
Expect a call from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency...... :police:

That's just so wrong of the crew.
When you drive on the highway, you don't open the door of your car to save time when you arrive at your destination. ::)
-
Haha, quite right there :doh:
And considering the mission objective is to enter the port of Dover (which I can't even see yet) that must be really, really at sea!
And a snag to this is that I'm pretty sure the cars driving on are ONLY in missions and not in free roam ::).
But oh well a fantastic pack all round, hopefully with this performancxe update some of might actually be able to play the game with more than 5 FPS :2thumbs:
-
It has been brought to my notice that the bow visor of "Albatros IV" can be opened at sea in the game. I apologise for the error in my earlier post. :-[ ??? I must check more carefully before posting in future. I'm not sure if this is an oversight on the part of Vstep or if it is intentional.

That's cool Traddles - as no-one had seen any videos or pictures of ALBATROS IV's bow visor going up, you were not able to confirm this. :thumbs:

THATS GREAT!!!! :2thumbs: so at least now we can do this on the way into Calais :thumbs: all we need is more FPS

so
POR=Working stern doors
Red E=Working doors
Albatross=Working doors
Rozenburg=Working doors
Big Apple=Working Doors (forgot the real name)
Small tour ferryboat= Working doors (video proofs it)
Oh oh,
But what about Red Jet4?
will her doors also be able to open and close?
-
Ok, made some pictures of the location of Rozenburg-Maasluis Ferry (But they are still in their old state The new version would look different)

You guessed correctly I suspect.
-
i used google maps to find the location,
Although i never saw the ferry terminal before in SSE (I must have been passing it all the time without noticing it :doh:)
So the new updated ferry terminal looks a little different from this one?
TOTAL=15 euros(pack will cost around 13 pounds for Uk users)
Well 12.8005 GBP
-
hopefully, their draughts arent too deep, would be really cool to be able to re-activate the old GFS between marseille and ilse du froil again, specialy with the White Marlin, Albatross IV and the big apple, can be adapted for GFS service :2thumbs:

Vstep should not mention any release dates anymore. Mentioning a certain release date can be very premature and players can become very disappointed.

Exactly what I said on another thread. It would be better if they didn't give dates but surprise us when they have it for sale. I expect the same will happen to the 1.3.5 update which should have been out before the 8th.

How can it be that them who run this publisher company, not knowing if they can solve this problem in a few days or in one or two weeks?
They also had at least 5 days to solve the problem before the date 8 of mars.
A publisher acting like this, I should stop using if Vstep were my company.
And, what is the name of this company? Anyone who know?
My guess is that this ferrypack will not come before the 14 th, maybe not even before the 21, but that is just a guess.
-
The publisher is a company called Paradox Interactive.
-
If I was a VStep employee watching this forum, I'd probably quit by the minute and walk out the door.
What a load of complaining tossmongers.
Be happy VStep made this package - it's the best thing that ever happened to this game.
-
any news when it should be out by
and im glad im with VSTEP
-
AAAAARGGGGGHHHHHH >:(
And when is the update?? >:( ??? (i hgope before the pack comes........ ::) :P)
Ferry pack release date changed, what's the next?.....
When april begins I go really sailing with my real boat........ not in shipsim....
-
Christ calm down..
The upload will come before the ferry pack
No one knows when the date will be, could be two weeks or more
I'd personally be more excited about sailing a real boat than one on a computer..
-
When it's the publisher who tells Vstep when to release the Ferry-Pack, in my humble opinion the reason could be that Vstep isn't just releasing a Download version, but a boxed version too.
(https://www.anp.se/upload/Paradox_Interactive/ShipSim/2D_Ship_Simulator_extreme_ferry_v61.jpg)
This picture comes from the Paradox site !!!
Why would it be any matter to a publisher when its concerning a download version only? Or is Paradox not able to mirror that download at time?
BTW, Wasn't it not the same publisher who was responsible for the very late and buggy release of SSExtremes in the first place?
-
hope it is out before 14th of march. it my birthday. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: why do they have to delay it!!!? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Now THAT is a nice box cover
:)
-
I think that cover art is a bit exaggerating, alot of people will see that and go WOW :o
They will then buy it and find their PC will only run it on low graphics or below and they will think it looks nothing like it. so even more complaining people will come here begging for their money back and asking why it is such a 'rubbish' game.
-
Where is the exaggeration? the picture shows Maasluis, just as it is in the game, and four of the ferries which will be in the pack.
The only people who will complain are those who did not first check the computer requirements to play the game.
Aad makes a very valid point in his post. As has been mentioned before on the forum, common sense requires ALL versions to be released at the same time.
-
Hi
This is a pack you add to a game you have so they should know
Why on earth would they buy something they can not play without owning the game.
And its already been said the new patch when released will fix a lot of issue's.
Eric

No offence intended, but I am pretty sure that the side-wake on the White Marlin is real - the water looks like water, and not the SSE water... And watching the video, it doesn't make that sort of realistic wake
-
i know i'm just saying the way it is portrayed can be a bit misleading, if you look at the bow splash on the marlin that is not how it will really be. So potential customers will see that and think "oh wow that looks realistic" they will then buy the game and the add-on and find that the sea on that pic is nothing like it is on SSE.
Edit: just as TFM has just mentioned
-
Somewhat similar!!!! Some folks complain just for the sake of complaining. :doh: Why not look at all the good stuff instead of permanenly carping? Oh gosh, they missed out a buoy, how really dreadful.
-
We do look for good stuff... :angel:
-
Will this make you happy? If not I give up.
-
oh that makes me very happy :D
-
interesting edit on the first foto i must say
-
The New York ferry in the cover seems to fly, doesn't it. :-\
-
why do see or say that?
-
We must bear in mind that the picture is an advertisment. :doh: It is what is known as "artists license". ::)
-
Ahh :doh:
But apart from that it's done very well. ;D ;D
-
I was looking forward to the release of this add-on today...
But then I realize I work for one of the largest Ferry companies in the world, and working as Quartermaster on three different classes of vessel, each with different modes of maneuverability.
Patience kids, I rather them ensure that everything in the game is shipshape, and then release it.
-
In Case no one else spotted it, via the twitter site
http://plixi.com/photos/original/71237259
A InCat 86m to be released "soon"
Also, looking at the screenshot - it looks to have working stern loading ramps :O
:2thumbs:
well i would like to know when this ferry pack going to be released???????????? its ok for these people to post OH its been delayed why put a date on RELEASE when they cant stick to promises? this is happening a lot on other sites to they say it will be released on a DATE and it dont ... tbh im getting fed up now
-
According to the latest Newsletter* from ShipSim Com the Ferry Add On will be released end of this month.
* You can subscribe to it :evil: free of charge
And especially to airtrooper:
You need a valid licence code and register it right here on the forum to use the Add-On
-
I was hoping the Ferry pack was to be released sooner,now I only get to test it for 3-4 days before I am going to the military for a year :(
At least I get to try it out for some days(if there isn't any more delays) :D
-
Somewhat similar!!!! Some folks complain just for the sake of complaining. :doh: Why not look at all the good stuff instead of permanenly carping? Oh gosh, they missed out a buoy, how really dreadful.
And they've forgot the wee Maasluis ferry, MV Rozenburg :'(
:doh: Don't worry, I'm sure it was just a wee 'artistic' oversight ;D
-
Please DON'T release this pack until you have the core game running.
The 1.35 patch is an unbelievable joke, don't they beta test before releasing?
-
Why is it a joke what are your issues?
-
Intresting that people call this game a joke. To me a joke is Railworks as it stutters and crashes like hell but this runs fine on my PC. And for others it is the other way round. But it will help if you tell them why you find it a joke as they can not fix what they do not know about.
-
Why is it a joke what are your issues?
Go and check the bug reports.
Sorry I need to stop venting about this but I'm not impressed with all of it's issues.
The number one problem I have apart fom broken missions now is that the rudder key (centre) now doesn't work and it won't let me map it to 3 different joysticks let alone another key. Try driving one of the faster vessels when you can't centre the rudder properly, it basically ruins the game. That's off the top of my head, there are many other problems as you will find in the bug thread.
I have a highend system and it runs ok but I wouldn't want to run it on much less.
My main gripe is it's nowhere near as polished as 08 in regards to most things and was released too early, the patch having it's own problems only confounds that. Pretty much no AI because of performance issues??
If it was a $10 game I would live with it but it's not a $10 game, it is priced up there with the premium stuff.
Too many companies are releasing buggy software these days and we shouldn't accept that otherwise they will continue to foist substandard items on us.
I've said my piece in a couple of threads now so no more venting. :D
-
as355,
Why not post your dxdiag in the 'technical support' and some folks might be able to find out why you are having terrible performance issues with SSE?
Don't worry about posting your dxdiag file on this forum, it won't reveal any personal information about you. It would show stuff such as your computer's processor model & make, how many RAM you have and what make/model your graphic card, how old your graphic card drivers are, etc.
I've done this a few times and it has helped me a lot to pinpoint any problems I was having with SS2008 and SSE.
-
I was just wondering: Are there or will there be ferry docks/linkspans in New York for the Staten Island ferry?
On the promotion video, it seems as if there's not...
-
Will you be able to manuever the blue marlin sideways?
Like the other INcat ferries?
There have been quite a discussion about the red jet 4... and it would come in quite handy, if you could move the blue marlin sideways, because it is such a big ship..

There have been quite a discussion about the red jet 4... and it would come in quite handy, if you could move the blue marlin sideways, because it is such a big ship..
Yepp, it is possible, but you have to toggle with the levers to do it right... :thumbs:

Good news everyone!
Just got a mail from VSTEP saying
The Ferry Pack release date is coming closer, and the Ferries are ready to leave dock very soon.
I hope TFM is now pleased ::)

That was an answer you could have get easily from the forum instead of bombarding the devs with questions like that.
-
i sended no question to vstep
This is a news letter
It was a mail send to all SS members who subscribed
-
Ooops, my bad. I assumed that you emailed them like people did in the past with silly questions... Sorry! :-[
-
You should have recieved that mail too
If you subscribed
-
I got that too... :)
-
Ill get my money ready

what kind of ferry is albatross IV? is it a real ferry?
-
albatros?? huh? what did i miss?
-
she is a part of the ferrypack.....the blue and white vessel on the youtube gameplay vid.
-
blue and white? is that the one with the german lettering?
-
Albatross IV - Coromuel -> http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/coromuel_1973.htm
-
oooh :doh:
-
A question about the ramp doors:
Do they have viarable positions? I mean when the quay is a bit higher than normal, does the system rest on the quay or is it pushing the ship upward?
I know ... its normally unpossible :P
-
It won't push up the ship, but it dives into the quay/ramp... ::)
-
Judging from the PoR, you can set the height, but as Bottman said... they will slip though the berth...
-
okay that sounds good :)
-
Albatross IV - Coromuel -> http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/coromuel_1973.htm
there u go...thanks.
-
As I asked before(without any luck): Will there be terminal/linkspans for the New York ferry?
-
Just a few more days! :2thumbs:
To get you warmed up, check this picture of the Albatross IV. The bow visor is even working!
Note: Actual game model might be slightly different.
-
:O
It looks so good...
I want it I want it I want it... :doh:
-
wow, I want that too :2thumbs:
-
thats going to be my favorite ferry. thanks swenson! you made my day!
-
Mine too!
I wonder what speed she will reach..
Dover-Calais here I come ;D
-
He it has a ramp aswell!
I just love that type of ramp
It looks like a Ferry Sticking out its tongue :P ;D
see this video and you will understand
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzEIM0b1_VQ
-
Mine too!
I wonder what speed she will reach..
Dover-Calais here I come ;D
yeah but its still not quite the Dover-Calais ferry - no DC ferry (with the exception of the European Endeavour) uses stern ramps, there are no suitable berths
*InCat is fine, they have a dedicated berth at the end of Calais
Not that its not a great model - we need Portsmouth - That would suit it great !:)
-
oh yeah... the incat, that will be FUN ;D :2thumbs:
-
He it has a ramp aswell!
I just love that type of ramp

Portsmouth would also be nice..
But one thing i have noticed is that the ship is quite small for a DC-class ship..
I think Incat also has a berth in Dover
-
I wonder what speed she will reach..
Depends, uphill or downhill? :P
-
I think its going to be about 45-65 kts
Probably 45kts
-
oh yes... roll on InCat :D
Portsmouth would also be nice..
But one thing i have noticed is that the ship is quite small for a DC-class ship..

She would be very suitable for a Channel islands ferry... !:)
Speed should be 45 knots...
65knots? she is a InCat not a SRN4 :doh:
-
I think its going to be about 45-65 kts
Probably 45kts
what i said yes :)
I also hope she doesnt have a fit when going through the waves like the powerboat used to have (still sometimes has)
When she hits waves the ship stops and i dont want to have the incat doing the same
-
what i said yes :)

It runs just smooth through the water. No instant stopping ;) :2thumbs:
About the tongue, don't expect too much of it. Nearly impossible to re-create.
-

Ah so we are not going to have a tongue :(
-

No tongue :(
I do know that its very hard to re-create that because it has quite allot of movements..
But i am happy that it still has a nose that can open :)

hey we got the Coromuel in game at last...
the rest is just a bonus :)

And she looks beautiful too!
Looks like Vstep had taken her from her Ai position and cleaned her up and made her ready to be player :thumbs:

Although the name in ShipSim is Albatross IV. ;)
-
hmm she's still coromuel for me!!
-
Although the name in ShipSim is Albatross IV. ;)
I know... but I liked Coromuel :doh:

We got Earl Granville in game :doh:

It might be that its illegal to use names of real ships that existed..
Although thats stupid because POR,RED Eagle and Red Jet are all Real Ferries..

No, you just need permission, which they must of had as she was in game as Coromuel
-
No, you just need permisson, which they mut of had as she was in game as Coromuel
But how can they get permission of a ship thats already dead?
If they wanted to make a Fictional Ferry company than the best thing the should have done is
Channel Ferries.. The CF livery also suits the Coromuel..
Infact she did have a similar livery before
-
Good
Bow and stern doors :)

She does indeed :)

A bow visor is a feature of some ships, in particular ferries and ROROs, that allows the bow to articulate up and down, providing access to the cargo ramp and storage deck near the water line.

Oh i didnt know the passenger Ferry was pink :doh: ( in the video it looked red)
Well i must say.. I like all of them!
If i am paying 14.99 then it means that it would the best to play all ships than just 1

It's not pink, it red-ish. The color on that picture looks a bit off ;)

I know for sure Vstep would never put pink on a ships livery :doh:

For more pics of the Hamburg based harbour ferry you can look here:
www.elbdampfer-hamburg.de
It's in German, but full of many pics with that type of ferry. It is called Typ 2000 and the operator now has 12 units of that one-man-ferry on duty every day on regular services.

Will the pack include reported bugs fix? Which ones?
Thanks.
-
Will the pack include reported bugs fix? Which ones?
Thanks.
Game patches (including fixes) and DLC AddOns are two different things. Fixes are distributed within game patches, that are available to everyone for free, while DLC AddOns are payware, and there's no reason that people who don't buy the addon don't have the game fixes ...
-
I already thought so!
I know for sure Vstep would never put pink on a ships livery :doh:
I’m not so sure; anyone who’d paint the Staten Island Ferry that shade of green…
-
Is it green grape (http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorshades.html) (hue 59°)? goose "stern" color?
-
Oooh - what hue is the Channel Ferries stripe and Dark bloue/grey hull? :angel:
Would be very handy for Channel Queen if I knew, get the colour right...
-
Only a few days left before the Ferry Pack arrives! Which one is your favorite?
Cynical me says "only a few days left before the Ferry Pack is delayed again" (leopards/spots and all that).

-
Oooh - what hue is the Channel Ferries stripe and Dark bloue/grey hull? :angel:

It would be nice if someone actually answered TFM's question.. He has been asking the same question about Hull colour and Channel Ferries thing for a very long time.. Please tell us what it is! Just telling the hull colour isnt like sharing the biggest secret!
-
Why don't you just get a picture of it and use the pick colour tool to find out?
I tried it on a render of the White Marlin and found the colours are as follows:
* The gray parts of the vessel below the waterline are:
Red: 61
Green: 70
Blue: 80
* The dark strip near the waterline seems to simply be black
* The turquoise strip above that is:
Red: 93
Green: 199
Blue: 226
Mike
-
That is what I did... :)
But the colour varied depending on where I clicked, and how it was rendered (light/shade etc)
-
Hmm, I didn't think of that. Maybe work out the average combination? :P
-
Ahh hmm could do, but its surprsingly how varied they seem to be... :-\
It looks OK now though Its kind of a by-eye check
-

Yepp! And the formerly Hamburg harbour ferry "Grevelingen" (ex "Niendorf" - sister ship of my avatar) will have it's tenth's anniversary this year in service at your fishing area! :2thumbs:

Here is a very short tutorial about berthing the harbour ferry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVgG-8xLqI

:2thumbs: great photos TNeves :thumbs:. I do not like waiting steam SSEFerry pack. :(
-
Many thanks!
I though that they were released at the same time, however, I have steam too, and I don't see it for sell.
I noticed that we can sail with Albatross front "door" open, that it doesn't sink. At least it should be blocked for speeds over 1knot, for example. Or not?
Anyway, excellent addon! I would love to see one just for fishing ships !:) ;D
-
:2thumbs: great photos TNeves :thumbs:. I do not like waiting steam SSEFerry pack. :(
This note was at the bottom of the newsletter:
Last Minute update: STEAM has decided to change the release date to April 5th, so STEAM users will have to be a bit more patient before they can sail the Ferries. We apologize for any inconvenience their last minute decision may cause. Non-STEAM users can purchase the Ferry Pack from today on www.shipsim.com.
Mike
-
Unfortunately there is only a speed restriction during opening and closing, e.g. you can open it when you sail faster then 1 knt.
It was the intention to release it together, but STEAM decided otherwise :-\

Fortunately, even 5th april :)

Why were we told that the pack would be available for everyone at the same time if that is not the case? It looks great but I would have like to known in advance that Steam users were generally going to have more problems and were going to have to wait longer for every pack and update that comes out.

Now I'm going to play SSE, (without SSEFerry pack :C)

You can launch the liferats :)

I like the ferry Add-On pack very much.
I don't see any loading ramp and collision bulkhead door when the bow visor of the Albatros IV has been lifted. Normally ferries have behind the bow visor/clamshells, the loading ramp and the collision bulkhead door.
Onboard the ferries there 's very little area for free walking. Mostly it is only the bridge area of the ferries. On the Pride of Rotterdam you can walk to the stern of the ship.
-
AHh OK, look forward to seeing them Lars :)
Also, Still awaiting a nice friendly VSTEP chap... (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,21919.msg329905.html#msg329905) :angel:

Yes, they fit. In the Mission Editor, a new static "ship" is a ferry poonton, you can put everywhere you want in the environnment when you create a mission (you can for exemple just easily create a mission, with no waypoints nore objectives, but with some fery poontons here and there).
Here are a few examples of ferries in different places in Marseille, with a ferry poonton :

To me that isn't a huge issue, Afterall the purpose of the sim isn't to walk around the ships, but to pilot them, and you can't realistically pilot them away from the bridge :doh:

Ah, I didn't try yet - I just put the Albatross here with the Editor... I'll check that right now !
-
I watched vh95... he came in and hit a sandbank outside the entrance... :doh:
Someone needs the dredger out
You could get the Sherpa in there in 08, but not in SSe - I suppose there hasn't been any dredging in the 2 year gap :doh:
-
IF v-step makes the dredger playable maybe they can make a ''dredge'' option too

Now THAT would be good :thumbs:

You're right, I'm stuck at the harbour entrance. Damned !

So who's going to dregde there?? ;D
Any volunteers?

Is this for the next dredging pack?? ??? ;D

I wish it was, for now we just have to enjoy the bridgeview of the dreger via the mission editor ;)

Nice video Lars :)

incats speed is only 38 kts?
how comes?

its not...
-
its not...
it is for me ;D
and it also says the same for the description of the ship :doh:
ok i will sail her again to see what her top speed is in calm water :)
-
Only in the description it says 38 kts, I have done 46-47 with her ;)
-

me too and easily
-

descriptions should be a bit more accurate next time :)
-
I think 38 is more of a service speed...

in the description it says that 38 kts is the TOP speed

I meant in Real Life ;)

ah yes that is true :)

The Top Speed, specially in nautical terms, may vary a lot, with wind/tides/sea/currents condition ...
-
Service speeds of Incats tend to be between 32 and 38knots, depending on whether conditions and who the captain is. Also they are slower in service as they are a lot heavier. Empty the can easily do more than 40 if pushed to the limits
-
i really like this pack!
But i wish i was able to play this in every server..
I can only play with these ship in MP server 8
-
I can't even play them at all!
-
It would be nice if in the Preview of the ferries you could see them out of the water so as to see what kind of propulsion they have.. For instance: is the Rozenburg a Voith Schneider ferry a la Red Eagle..?
-
She certainly is. Just a different set of controls, levers rather than wheels. See Martys' instuctions on driving "Rozenburg" below. It's all there if you look for it.
Angus.
-
Thanks for that, Angus.. I suspected she might be..
And of course thanks to Marty for the excellent instructions..:)
-
Why does the Captain face to the port, and not at the direction he is travelling in?
-

Because that is actually how he sits; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tKfKyKqKos :)
It also makes sense for a river ferry, as a captain you are mostly crossing the river, so you want to keep track of both port- and starboard of your ship.
-
Ahh interesting video :)
Makes sense, especially seeing how busy the Rotterdam waterway is from that video. Thanks.
What are the side ramps for? She berths bow/stern on, so no apparent need for them?
-
Hi,
Just to say a v step has done it again down loaded yesterday and
installed today my day off work.Fell of my chair wow ;D :2thumbs:
great well worth the money.Cannot wait for the new ships still to come.
Cheers Timbo :-)
-

Hi TFM,
The side ramps are for pedestrians boarding from pedestrian docks like the one just west of the Maassluis car terminal.
Regards,
Marty
-
Ahh OK thanks
Is that used for a seperate service, or do they stop there before/after departing from the car berths?

If a girl can drive it, any guy who complains is a wuss!

You are aware that girls drive trucks nowadays..? ;)

Yes, and there are many women Merchant Marine officers—Masters, Chief Engineers, and Pilots.
On the Columbia River here in the Northwest, there are women Bar Pilots—perhaps one of the most challenging and dangerous places on the planet for pilots.
There are also women Columbia River pilots who take over from the bar pilots.
-
Not to mention women airline pilots.. :)

Yes, they fit. In the Mission Editor, a new static "ship" is a ferry poonton, you can put everywhere you want in the environnment when you create a mission (you can for exemple just easily create a mission, with no waypoints nore objectives, but with some fery poontons here and there).
Here are a few examples of ferries in different places in Marseille, with a ferry poonton :

i was putting the ferry pontoon the wrong way all along lol XD
-
Perfect assassinator2.0,
that's what this pontoon/floating terminal is made for! :2thumbs:
-
ferry pontoons are very nice to play with..
I usually place them and make a mission and play it myself (just for the pontoon :))
Oh TFM,
I think Rozenburg is the only ship with the most lights
Here are 2 pics that will explain it:
1st= All ships in Ready sailing lights
2nd= an attempt mooring/anchor lights to make ships look brigther (didnt work hehe)
I wish Cabin lights were easy to be added and dont need a single light object
The pride of rotterdam in SS08 had cabin lights.. These ferries are all smaller and particulary Albatross IV which is even smaller than the POR could maybe have cabin lights.. ( i know there is a low chance of that happening but its just a suggestion) Would be nicer to sail a ferry in the dark with lights to make you feel more comfortable (no bridge ligths but only cabin lights or passenger decks lights) Or it would look like a ghost ship with no passengers on board. :)
ok here are the pics
-
Nice pics!!!
Amaai(flemisch expresion) :D

Some more pics of my favorite Ferries at night
Sorry about the yellow stuff (first time trying out Photoshop :doh:)

Was that photoshop?? You must be kidding me. I assumed that it was an update ;D :P

I looks to real :)

I have an idea for all of us GFS members and anybody else who wants to join :thumbs:
can you still host online co-op missions with other players online?
-
sorry to interupt the conversation but is it download or disk or both?

It's download.. http://www.shipsim.com/products/shipsimulatorextremesferry

it was made for placing it the wrong way?? lol XD

I've been playing one of the NY ferry missions this evening and noticed a nameplate WILHELM BRUHEN underneath the wheelhouse of the NY Big Apple ferry.
What is the significance of this name?
(According to Google, Wilhelm Bruhen was a German inventor who came up with the taximeter, which automatically recorded the distance traveled and/or the time consumed, thus enabling the fare to be accurately measured).
-
Might be an easteregg of the dev's. If you look closely you can spot the names of a few dev's on a few vessels :)
The Vermaas is a very nice example ;D

AAAH, now I see! That's a nice touch. :2thumbs:

Think I will go and start up SSE to have a look now, lol!
-

What, "No Smoking" underneath the bridge? ;) :P
Is it "De LEEUW GPS" on the domed radar? (at both ends on the top of wheelhouse)
-
Yep the GPS is one, but Vermaas is the last name of one of the dev's :) Sigita works at VSTEP HQ and the name of the virtual owner of the jack-up rig is also one of the dev's :)
-
I think that's sweet :)
