Hi For Those Who Don't Know Me.
I Was Wondering If The Flag That Is On The Titanic, Is It Supposed To Be There On SS06 Because I Cannot See It $:-\$

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #1 on:** January 21, 2009, 02:07:32 »

It seems Vstep did not know of a good way to make flags when making SS06.

Thanks

No problem

And you based this fact upon what bit of information?

As if these professional 3d artists, animators, programmers, etc.. couldn't make a little waving flag, while even I can do that with very limited skills and free software..

I said "seems" as in "My guess, but do not take this as gospel, as I am sure a mod can answer this correctly"

P.S: How DO you make flags?

TerryRussell · « **Reply #6 on:** January 23, 2009, 23:49:47 »

In any programming, there is what is known as a MUSCOW list.

Must have
Should have
Could have
Would be nice

They start at the top (all the things that the software must have) and work their way down the list until time and/or money run out. Obviously flags were lower down the list at that time.

This is absolutely standard programming methodology. So, the fact that something that you believe should be there is missing, that doesn't mean it was in that section of the list. Me, I'd put flags in the "Would be nice" ("trivial") end of the list.

Anyway SS08 has them. Why not get that?

you forgot the "u" and "o. "

I don't really like the flag on the SS08 model. Since it looks like it wasn't there in the original model, and was added in, like the interior of the titanic, the stairs, which I think could of been done a lot better with still staying within time, money, and effort. And if you walk up to the flag it just looks so, big and un-realistic. I don't know if it was on the real thing, was it?

matt5674 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 24, 2009, 19:15:18 »

well right now I do also not like Titanic(ss08)'s flag. it isn't flowing in the wind like regular flags and it is too big! those with the 1997 movie of "TITANIC" look at the stern of titanic after the song in the scene "Take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch" when it zooms out away from her stern and you'll see her flag smaller and realisticer than the flags in Ship Simulator 2008.

You're forgetting a tiny little fact; You're friend Mr De Donno made Titanic, not VSTEP

Why should they add the flag?

Jakfromshef · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2009, 19:32:38 »

I Think it looks rather bare without a flag :laugh:

And you know this how? What leads you to believe that every part of the ship was accurate (Even though I love how accurate they were) But you can't just trust the movie to know. We need proof.

Looking at the rigging plans, I don't think it's the flag being too small, but the flag STAFF being too short.

But that's just me.

Kona1988 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 25, 2009, 19:01:54 »

I just think the staff is way to short and the flag could be a little smaller.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2009, 19:56:28 »

Does it really matter

It's only a flag $:-\$

realisticer

That's a great word.
I second Nathan|C in that it doesn't really matter. You should be spending most of your time at the helm if you want to be as realistic a captain as possible, not that I do that it's just the main point of the game is to learn how to sail ships (I think)

matt5674 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2009, 21:03:14 »

well right now I'm no longer playing SS08 till I get my new PC ready in a few days.

Kona1988 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2009, 03:19:36 »

I don't like it because I cant get a good shot of me looking out onto the sea ^^

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2009, 04:46:00 »

I like orbit view because the helm view gives me no depth perception $:-\$

TerryRussell · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:31:17 »

I attended the PRO presentation today at Vstep's offices. With the "wrap round" monitors, the depth perception is wonderful. On one of the presentations in a really rough sea on Sherpa, a few of the audience looked sea-sick!

Vstep's next bug to fix: Not getting everyone who purchases their game sick!

Online Seasickness?
