Docking POR
« on: September 04, 2009, 09:34:24 »
Just some random fun.  ;D

(Now thanks that I figured out screenshot is F7 not F10, lol)

Reverse Thrust slowly


Still need to go back a bit


How close I got to the dock, without hitting it


Almost there


Made it!


Ready to load!

Nicely done  :P

Do you know where the real P&O terminal is? (This is the Stena one)

I sometimes dock their too.. Though it's a good job that VSTEP didn't put a damage model for the bridge as the passenger gangway always hit my bridge when I dock there. :P

That's because the real ship that docks there is 240m long, 35m longer than POR so the gangway would connect to that ship..

Maybe VSTEP could add the Stena ship at some point since we have the terminal  :2thumbs:

That's a fine ship to be added in favour of that terminal.  Also I saw in 2006 Stena Discovery was docking there also - hence to add her as a big cat ferry would be appropriate.  :thumbs:

WM asked which vessel docks at the old Hoek HSS berth now...He then removed his message before I posted that so I couldn't quote him  ::)
