since when?

do you mean the 3 new ships delivered in 2005-6?
if so who will they be replaced with?
where does it say that?
i checked the 2 official website and it
doesnt say anything about that...

Maersk owned Norfolkline, until recently, when they sold them to DFDS. Now DFDS are rebranding them. They aren't selling the ships, or moving them, just putting them in DFDS livery.

People are a bit stupid if they disagree with your opinion, then?

We need Portsmouth and/or Le Havre in the same environment for that though...

We don't know if Portsmouth has been upgraded...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #6962 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:44:46 »

Knowing LD, it will be switched to Dover-Bolougne after about 3 ~~minutes~~ months, so it will probably fit our SSE Dover

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6963 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:45:25 »

to be fair,. I don't think anyone knows where it is going now...

Very slow progress on her too...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6964 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:45:38 »

I dont know TFM :-/

If we had that route we'd need Norman Arrow

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6965 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:46:43 »

hmmm...

find her we must...

If it is on turbosquid, can someone buy it for the game itself, ie buy it and donate it to VSTEP??

Nathan|C · « **Reply #6966 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:47:52 »

You'd need permission though....Have you seen tractormans Norman Arrow TFM?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6967 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:48:18 »

Yes - it was extremely good

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6968 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:49:40 »

I just had a lil poke on turbosquid, could't find anything, still looking though

My Norman Arrow needs a bit more work before going in game, and it needs re-making in 3ds max really $:-\$

Nathan|C · « **Reply #6969 on:** July 04, 2010, 13:51:43 »

Speaking of Dover Ferries, the 3D Canterbury is going well...

Here's something I like..

http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-catamaran-navy-ship/244876

Its practically perfect for game, the right amount of polys and its accurate. Alright its a military vessel, but a little make over and you'd never know!

Speaking of Dover, the 3 Maersk D's are being renamed and rebranded after Norfolkline was sold to DFDS...

Maersk Dover - Dover Seaways
Maersk Dunkerque - Dunkerque Seaways
Maersk Delft - Delft Seaways

They will get a dark blue hull and funnel with DFDS logos $:-\$

Uh oh...

Lagan Seaways
Mersey Seaways
Dublin Seaways
Liverpool Seaways
Importer Seaways
Anglia Seaways

Ahh Clanky...

So do you still hate RO-PAXs and Dover?

You have no idea how much!

And yes, the three Norfolkline D-class ships will be renamed and rebranded, the magical date is supposed to be 12^th July, but don't know if that is when the ships will actually be repainted or not. Saw one of them this afternoon and they had already started to paint the funnel (still had norfolkline down the side though!)

Is it Wednesday yet?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6973 on:** July 04, 2010, 21:05:43 »

Nope not yet - got 3 days til then

12th? As in 12th July 2010? haha no chance of the Irish Sea Services getting painted anytime soon...
Norfolkline STILL haven't 'properly' painted them! They had them since what...2004/5?
