if it takes that long in real time, i wouldn't expect it all in one environment, as that would be alot of terrain then i'd assume. guess i die now

 :evil:

But most of the terrain is water, which surely isn't as taxing as Rotterdam...

(sarcasm: on) Its a campaign to see if Vstep can be convinced to give away free 1500w microwave ovens with every copy of ship sim (sarcasm: off)

I wonder if I can borrow enough boats to blockade the port of Dover until Vstep surrenders to our 'request'.

I have one boat- anyone else got one? A spare superferry perhaps?

 :lol:

I am sure Dover will insist on it if you blockade them...

I am sure the Navy has a few ships they don't need they can lend us...

I would absolutely love for these 2 ports to be in one environment, it would be so much easier than the old loading screen -> Freeze

Yest CT = Cruise Terminal

CT1, CT2 CT3 - Yes three of them!

Not to be confused with ECT

Eastern Cargo Terminal - yes we can accept the Agile Solution with ease...

Thanks TFM... I have an idea... What about putting them- and the rest of Port of Dover- together with Calais and have 'Dover-Calais in the same environment'. What about that?

PS I was recently looking at mooring fees in Dover for my boat- what do they think I own- the QM2? Even to float out from a trailer/ or bring a crane on site costs a small (large) fortune... :o

That is a brilliant idea... why didn't we think of it earlier...  :doh: ;D

Have you compared prices with other places to see how it fares? I am pretty sure if you are wanting expensive, Gunwharf Quays will cost you both arms and legs...

Gunwharf? You mean at Pompey? If so, that's a bit too far from the French coast for me... this tub- fun though it is- can only make 5-6 kts ::)

I wonder if I can swap it for one of the boats on Volvo round the world race... without anyone spotting it  :evil:

On a point, 5-6 kts under sail. about the same under power... 8-9 kts under both. >:(

I bet you're right on that... Considering the price for mooring at the 'less fashionable end' of the port are hideous, hate to think what GWQ is.

I'm even thinking of registering it in Calais or Boulogne where it is cheaper and where it is more fun to sail!

Dover - Calais in the same environment? What a great idea... I can't imagine why Vstep hasn't already thought of it... :o
