I mean, I wish to see MORE REALISTIC(!) ;D  in this game, but NO  :-\  - it's still like SS06!  >:(
You can't drive the little baggage tractors in FSX, you can only fly PLANES in a FLIGHT simulator. So here you drive SHIPS in a SHIP simulator.

And a crane and a duck :D With some addons you can drive cars on flight simulator as well but they're not very realistic

Well, If you want the cranes to be realistic, you will need to play the game a few hours, beceaus in real life, loading a +- 1000T load isn't done in a few minutes.

Gonna be more then 1000T. The average 20ft container is 20 tons. Although most are 40ft now that are loaded up to 30 tons. But even then they seem to LOVE to overload those things.

The duck is an easter egg. Those are always fun. I like the Fire one (Hence my username) Where on like every tug you can just type Flames and they will appear (Every tug Including RPA, Excluding Bugsier 2 and Igor K.)

The Jumbo Javelin is a Heavy lift ship like the agile solution.

I don't think that they will use their cranes for loading containers, beceaus each crane can lift 800T.

I am talking about loading one big (+1000T) load.

Hi svenuske1,

You'll see that it was answered long ago, if you scroll through these pages.

It's the Jumbo Javelin, made (as yet) exclusively for Jumbo Shipping

I don't mean to sound nosy, but, what are Jumbo Shipping going to use their own personal SS for? would it be for advertisement purposes? Either way, I assume it works on the same principal as our SS08? meaning it shouldn't be too hard to convert it IF they said "Sure, go ahead".

Just guessing there.

Perhaps as a free give away demo for future seaman at maritime schools. There is a big shortage on crew, so this would be a orginal way to attrackt them. Atleast it's would be better than the last advertising from Jumbo, a picture from the Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis with the text on it "He got the X factor but not the Jumbo factor" or something like that written on it.  :P

I am sure that somewhere in this thread, or another one (!) it says that Jumbo commissioned this as a training aid for their staff?

I don’t suppose it could be for demonstrating the capabilities of their vessel to prospective clients. Most likely it is a Christmas present for the CEO’s kids.
In any case, they paid for it, and it is theirs to do with as they wish. It is really not our business.

Hang on, i'm confused :P

I thought this wasn't going to be for everyone? I thought it was just for Jumbo Shipping?
