Doesnt someone know the depth of portsmouth, because I seem to always run the ferry aground

Where in pompey do you mean?

The rear of the harbour (from just after the IOW ferry terminal) isn't modelled. It seems about the location of the 'hard' interchange that the model ends. The Royal Navy and Continental Ferry Terminal isn't modelled and the water isn't navigable in the game.

In the demo video (yes i keep watching it) I saw a ferry entering the harbour. whats with that, and yes Im pretty sure that it was portsmouth.

When you consider that tens of (REAL) large ferries leave pourtsmouth every day I have ASSUMED that the depths are suitable for most of the ships available... but as the Naval dockyard is missing (and the submarine pens..) and many other things arent where they 'really' are its pretty pointless trying to find the actual depth as it will not match what we have available. I guess we will have to just try and see what we can and cannot do...

Portsmouth, as far as I can see, is only modelled to give a bit of scenery for Solent voyages past the IOW and no doubt to show off the excellent Spinnaker Tower.

There was a discussion about whether we want Portsmouth in the future, but there are so many suggestions for other ports, that who knows.

Personally, that is my favourite commercial port and I would love to see it modelled. (I go there often enough). but as the interior (North) of the port wasn't modelled they haven't needed to accurately model the sea bed.

Ok guys thanks for the answers. I'll just have to wait and see what is going to happen.
