Hello, I was just wonderring if it would be at all possible to make one of the maps in the new ship sim the Dover Straight, from there 2 ports could be fit on the map, Dover and Calais, if the new version was advanced enough 2 simmers could be harbour masters and control the flow of vessels in and out of the ports.
would also give an excuse to make some models of the new ferries being placed on the English Channel by both P&O and SeaFrance. Both ports also have some form of cargo area to their port so the bulkers have a place to tie up.
putting bouys on this stretch would also make it interesting and the light houses at the ports.
Perhaps even a new idea of having a loading system for ships to simulate the loading procedures where the player can take on the role of the Captain and ships officers for real. Perhaps 2-3 players could be in control of one vessel each taking charge of certain parts of the operations on board. A new online rank system could be put in place for players able to get their vessels back an forth delivering cargo to gain virtual money.
This could lead the way for clans to compete with each other and could make the game so much more interesting.
Having a system set up where the guys running the ship could be able to speak to each other, like a Voice Over IP, and then if the Captain presses a button he can also speak to the other vessels in the game, and even the harbour master.
Creating this kind of simulation really would make the whole thing about as real as it can get, add ons could then simply be graphics, new ships etc etc.
The possibilities are endless.
