Ahoy Ship(sim)mates,
Here a lot of screenshots of the seagoing tug 'Elbe'
This 1st serie (and the 2nd one as well) are situated in the Port of Rotterdam.
Enjoy
-
The 2nd serie
-
Nice pics! Guess there will be some improvements to be done on board of the vessel, for example the windows are somewhat milky... ::)
-
Maybe they just need a good scrub after the visit to the North Sea ;D
See for Yourself in the next serie's
-
Continuing on the North Sea

For now the last on the North Sea

Hey - and for all of you with nautical skills, the lights are corrected now, but to be honest, I still run a beta version.. ::)

Ahoy there,
Whish I had Your (repaint)skills. Is this Beta Version OK concerning the sound problem on the boxed version (after installing NH and v1.4.2 update)?
Or do You have the answer to my problem?
Regards
Aad
-
Hey, those are not my repaint skills, but from VSTEP! And I have no sound problems at all, so I have no idea about yours. :-\

Ahoy Bottman
Hey, those are not my repaint skills, but from VSTEP!
Sorry, I had that feeling 'cause You replied in an earlier post: "Did it" so I thought You 'cleaned' thos windows by doing some re-painting
And I have no sound problems at all, so I have no idea about yours. :-\
Please have a look at this topic, if You please
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,8697.msg98764.html#msg98764
Maybe that will enlighten You ;) and MAYBE give me the answers I'm desperate waiting for.
Regards
Aad
-
Okay, than it's the same for me as for DJM, we are both running on beta status.. :-\
-
wered you get elbe
-
Great pics, I like them
-
Hi aadjepiraatje,
Thanks for taking those pictures for us, i'm looking forward to seeing the elbe in the Shipyard, i can't say i've seen many pictures of her, maybe it is because people don't want to download from an external website. But i'd say once the Elbe gets into the Shipyard, there will be many people buying her.
Oh and thanks for posting a reply on my topic about the Furie, "What a fantastic little Tug!-post your pictures here!"
Kind Regards,
Jack-IRI5HJ4CK ;D
-
Hopefully lots of people would like to have the "Elbe"! She is a pretty.. ;)

Agreed, and it seems like VSTEP have modeled her interior too - i'm not sure which will be better though, Furie or Elbe....
-
Very very very good ship and very nice pics !...
-
Very nice pict indeed. can u show us a picture of driving on night?

Ahoy captain best,
You asked for Night shots, well here they come.

Next shots are from Haburg Harbour
-
Next shots from Marseille and Frisco
-
Next serie from New York Harbour

And last but not least, especial for Terry, HERE COMES ........, well, let Terry tell :D,
BTW, when I tried to really enter the harbour of this metropol the Harbour Master shouted his pants off and almost kicked me out of HIS harbour in person.
<edit: 'cause somebody 'complained' that it is to dark, I did lighten those pic's up a bit. But hey, it's around midnight, so You can't expect the sun shining at this spot of the world. end edit>

Do you got Fraps. Aadjepiraatje?

Great pictures aadjepiraatje, i've been looking for good pictures of the Elbe for a long time now, she has a very interesting wheelhouse dosen't she? sorry that we all keep asking you questions, but, how long roughly does she take to sink? and in what way? (e.g. bow first, stern first.)
Thanks a million,
Jack.

Ahoy Jack,
How long takes it for the Elbe to sink ??? What kind of question is that ??? I really wouldn't know, 'cause my intention is to keep those beautie afloat as long as possible. Not only in real life, but in the simulator too. That's one reason why I bought the Elbe & Furie Edition package as soon I knew where and how. Half of the money goes to the foundation who keeps her and the Furie as well afloat. Back to Your question. I assume that it's depend on the kind of damage, how big it is and on which part of her hull. For example: if she takes a lot of damage on the bow right under the waterline she will go down quite fast and 'Head first', maybe a bit tilting to the side the damage is.
And if You're really intrested in those figures, buy that tug and try for Yourself ;)

Hi aadjepiraatje, i don't intend to sink it at all, i'm just very interested in facts about these ships, i'm waiting for it to come into the shipyard, but still no sign. I'm pleased that the money goes to the actually running of the ship itself, then i know my money has gone to a good cause. Thanks for the pictures and info anyway.
Kind Regards,
Jack.

Ahoy capt'n,
What is Fraps?
I know i'm not captain best, but since i'm here i might as well answer for you. FRAPS is a recording programme, so when your on ship simulator, you can film what is going on. You can download a free trial from their website, although it dosen't record sound, whereas on the one you pay for, you get sound and better quality etc.
Kind Regards,
Jack. ;D
p.s. you can record any game, not just ship sim.
-
Ahoy Jack,
Tnx for anwering the question about Fraps. Do You can provide me with a link to their site? Can have I try, and when I like what I see, I can buy the full version later, right?

Aad

Hi aadjepiraatje,
There is one problem, although i don't have FRAPS myself, i've come accross some comments where people have said that if you get the demo download version and upgrade to the full version (the proper one) that it can cause effects on your computer system, if i were you i wouldn't download it now, i'd wait for DJM or one of the other moderators to give you some advice on this programme and how it works etc. and to confirm what i said above.
Here is the link, take a look at the info but if i were you, wait for one of the moderators to tell you about it first.
http://www.fraps.com/
Kind Regards,
Jack.

I purchased FRAPS a short while ago. Because Carl (DJM) recommended it, I went straight ahead and purchased the program. It worked like a dream. Very easyto set up.
I shot some of the video in DJMs last release (the one about MP on Youtube) after only a few minutes practice.

I haven't got FRAPS myself, but i am very tempted to get it, as i want to set up an SS channel on youtube so i can start recording multiplayer video's. Do you know how much (about) it equates to in pound sterling? i'd be very grateful for the info, also, could you post a screen shot of the programme so i can see what it looks like and just to get a general idea of its workings.
Kind Regards,
Jack :)
p.s. could you give me a little bit of info on how to set it up? thanks ;D

I use the free 30 second version of Fraps - i don't need to record the same angle for more than 30 seconds or it becomes boring, so it's fine for me.
-
Hiya guys :)
FRAPS is a very easy program to use, but you do need to make sure that all your sound setup is correctly configured in Windows, or you may have problems with sound output. This is especially the case with HD sound cards, using the default driver settings ;)
FRAPS is better than any other capturing program I've used, because it uses uncompressed video. The main advantage of this, is that any plugins that your games use, FRAPS won't interfere with them. There is one distinct disadvantage though, file sizes can be very large (4GB maximum file size on XP, but it continues in another file, after that size is reached ;)).
This link should help you out:

Hi Aad.
They look good. Is this Padstow? I have to tell you that you live closer to me than that, I think. I can certainly get to Rotterdam much quicker.
Here is a similar shot. It's my black cat, Suzie, taken in a coal bunker at midnight. I've lightened it as much as I can.
-
Ahoy Terry,
What did You give Your cat to drink? Is this Whiskey in her drinking bowl, or just plain tea? Can't see the difference ;D
Regards
Aad
-
Duno, she won't say.

Ahoy Terry,
Or was it some stuff out of this jar??

<edit: Typo >

No. Cat won't go near that. She says it's like licking Fred. ;D

I'm waiting for Fred to come across this thread... Heh.
But I think he's out riding his unicycle. Now he has that 750cc engine fitted, he keeps roaring around the Moderators Rest Room, until DJM has had enough and throws him out.
-
Fred & I were just enjoying a quiet beer.....err.....Diet Coke, until this thread interrupted us :P
Fred, you hold him down, I'll get the hose :D
-
Fred, you hold him down, I'll get the hose :D
There's Fred and Terry having a fight :D ;D:

-
LOL, are you saying I'm overweight? :o :o :P
We're off-topic again, but it's Terry's fault this time :P ;)
-
Ahoy Carl,
I think it's not Terry's fault (this time ;D)
How is your Latin this day's?
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Regards
Aad
-
It's always my fault. :'(
But I didn't mention Marmite in this thread, did I?
OOPS! :o

::)

A few more pics from the Elbe, as I promised to IRISHJ4CK during a multiplayer session !
Moored in Padstow Harbour :
-
at sea, with bad weather :
-
and finally, some pics of the interior : (and a comparison with the real life Elbe's Bridge, found on http://www.vaart.nl )
-
oh wow! thanks for the pictures! they are fantastic, i love the interior, especialy the bridge!
Thanks a million,
Jack. ;D
-
Brilliant, it has a radio room ;D

Ahoy Denis,
From which version of the Elbe are those screenies taken? I own the version from "The Elbe & Furie Edition", and the windows ofthe Elbe in my edition are far from clear, as I mentioned in an earlier topic.
Regards
Aad
-
Hi aadjepiraatje ,
I own the same version (Elbe & Furie) ... And never had problems with windows transparency !
-
Ahoy Denis,
Funny, Even the pics from the outside show's them windows 'frosted'
Do You have the NH version installed as well? And the 1.4.2 update?
And can You still hear the horn of the Elbe and the whistle of the Furie?
Regards
Aad
-
Yep, I just noticed that on your screenshot.
If you look at Bottman's screenshots (first page of this post), he has transparent windows (like mine) too !
Hu ... Maybe you should buy a good sponge and wash your windows ?! :)
-
I have v 1.4.2 , NH, and Elbe & Furie. And yes, I can hear the horn and the whistle of both ...

Maybe it is the Dutch Hollands Glorie Elbe conficting with the beta version? Or a graphics glitch?
-
Ahoy Denis and NathanC
Did one of You ever had a look at this thread?
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,8697.msg98764.html#msg98764
And NathanC, You're right about the version. I've got the BeNeLux version, there could be some differencies between those versions.
Denis, the shots from Bottman You're reffering to are from the Beta Version from Vstep which will (hopefully very soon) coming to the Shipyard.
Regards
Aad
-
I have v 1.4.2 , NH, and Elbe & Furie from the ftp. And no, I didn't hear the horn and the whistle of both ... and Elbe windows need to be cleaned.
I bought Furie from the shipyard, and the whistle of Furie works with that version.
;D
Regards,
Luc
-
Ahoy LucATC,
Glad to learn that I'm not the only one with those dirty windows. I knew all about Your whistle/horn problems, 'cause You're in that thread too. So I guess we better bought the French version, added the language choice, and voila. (Or not).
Regards
Aad
-
At this time I only have english versions installed. My Elbe & Furie version is a beta one (file named ShipSim2008.Elbe.Furie.exe , size 31.691.566 bytes) ...
-
I most older boats about the same age as the Elbe you can see that there is always a wooden cross-hatch under the wheel.
Why??? :-\

I assume that it is there so that if the sea came into the bridge area during rough weather then the platform that the person on the wheel stands on would not be awash and would give him a steady footing?

That's good enough to believe. ;)

My Uncle Earn was a Master Boat Builder. I remember him calling those hatches "drainage". So, I reckon that's right,

Ahoy Sealords,
Had a trip to Maassluis today and took some 'LIFE' pictures of the Elbe.
If You're intrested to see them here, let me know.

I'm quite interested indeed !
would it be possible that you upload them on a web gallery please ?
thanks in advance !!

Ahoy Denis,
I really don't know how to do this. Anyhow, here they are. Due to a lot of building construction around the berth of the Elbe I was'nt able to come any closer. Sorry about that :'(

Hi Aad.
Thanks. Great pics!

Hi aad, sorry to bring this up again.
I know Clyde has been turned into a Yacht, and the Elbe is being restored, but what happened to the Mississippi?
-
Ahoy Nathan|C,
As far as I know the Mississippi is converted into razorblades, automobiles etc. In other words: She's demolished :'( :'( :'(
Regards
Aad
-
Got more Info about the Mississippi. She was sold in 1984 to Taiwan for demolishing. There was a fourth sister too. The Thames. She is converted to a Yacht and still sailing under the name Itasca.
Regards
Aad
-
Thanks for that info Aad, i searched for Itasca and she looks nothing like the Elbe anymore!
-
Is elbe only 3,10m wide? that's weird, because our 8m boat is 2,81m
-
Hello,
Here (http://archive.greenpeace.org/marine/mvgp_gen.html), some specifications of the ship...

Thanks for that info Aad, i searched for Itasca and she looks nothing like the Elbe anymore!

Would You be owner of a Yacht which likes as a Tug ??? Don't think You would ;)

Aad

I visited the Elbe and Furie last week in Maasluis, i'll post the pictures here when i get back to my home in Germany. Aad, i saw a ship called the Hudson in Maasluis too, it looked like a mini Elbe, do you have any history on it?
-
Ahoy Nathan,
Nice to hear about Your visit to Maassluis. Love to see Your pictures (soon). Your home in Germany confused me a bit. Your profile shows You're from the UK ???
Anyhow, about the Hudson: I searched for info and found a lot on hhtp://museumschiphudson.com , alas, that site is in Dutch only. Translated some higlights for You:
The Motor Tug Hudson was build in 1939, launched on april, 15th 1939, ready for sail at july, 3rd 1939 ready for her maidentrip. Left Maassluis on april, 16th 1940 for the last time before WWII reached Holland and escaped barely to Great Britain. In 1945, after beeing away for 66 month she returned to Holland.
After several other dutys, like beeing an icescratch (that stuff being used to cool meat and vegetables prior to the refrigarator) factory, she was ment to be scraped in 1988, but the "Help the Hudson" Foundation was able to save her and finally brought her back to Maassluis where she is now a floating museum. To my knowledge there are no plans to make here sail again.
Regards
Aad
BTW, there are some programs which can translate complete websites for You, like babylon.
-
Hi Aad,
Thanks for that, i have a pic of the Hudson too. I come from the UK but I live in Germany as my dad is in the British Army, which is why i use the Pride of Rotterdam/Hull so often (Visit Family in UK).
