The Pilot Boat in the game is the same model as the Arie de Visser Lifeboat. This type of pilot boat do not exist in real time. The must build a model that realy exists ! (see photo below)

That is my opinion about this vessel.

How do you think about this ?

Yes Soldier_2000

The Pilotvessel in the game is the Arie Visser chanced in the collors of the pilot.
They must build the real pilot vessel the same like your picture

what's wrong with making a model that doesn't exist?

Your title is wrong, the pilot is realistic but it isn't the right model.

But I don't care!

Greetings,
Yes,you can have the real model,but than it's the time of release that start to matter.
I think Vstep took a very good option to use the Arie visser,as a replacement.
Maybe they can change it in time,an make the real "Pioneer"vessel for the game.

I think we never made a secret that we double-used the Arie Visser as a pilot boat, changing just the colors and some of the interior. This was the only way we could add a pilot boat in the game in the development timeframe we had. For us, the missions and gameplay were more important than the question of using exactly the right pilot boat model.
We may add another pilot boat at some stage in the future. But other ship types, that offer new gameplay and missions, are higher on the wish list.

Why always dutch pilotboats, yeah they are wunderfull too look at, they go very fast, they are slightley futuristic, but i worked on belgian pilot boats for ten years, i can ashore you that in very bad weather the only boats you saw were the Belgians because they are bild too last...

pjotr · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2007, 17:09:56 »

That's because it is easy for us to get the designs, and the sailing characteristics etc.
We can also go there ourselves to make pictures.
We have good contact with the Dutch pilots, so they can visit our office to tweak the parameters.
So it's really just for practical reasons.

Hey Pjotr, i fully understand, ill be the last to complain with your work at shipsim.
I just couldnt resist to bring up the reason why we (Belgians) are sometimes good in what we do

So, in other words, keep up the good work there at shipsim, looking forward to see new things in the future.
In the meantime i can practice my manouvering skills without making my feet wet all the time.

@simplayer: How old is your (Wandelaar?) Pilotcutter? Ours from the Ems was made in 1963.
