Meant to go sailing today

ruff as hell in the harbour!
Just random question has anyone upgraded there iTunes to the new version and it comes back with error 7?

Not sure if this has been mentioned before:

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but it looks to me like Ocean/Orient Star are based off of the Carnival/Costa Cruises Spirit class?

I was looking at the Costa Atlanitca and thought "I recognise that ship!". Turns out there is quite a few of them!

I have, but I can't say the same for other ShipSim Extremes maniacs

I've noticed too, and I think it was confirmed by a moderator.

I know some VSTEP ships like ocean star were based around real ships but had differences to separate them from the real thing for legal reasons.
Just complete intrest is that the same class as the Costa Concordia?

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25108 on:** January 30, 2014, 07:57:59 »

not at all my friend....Costa Concordia class is far away from Costa Antlatica class. Just an opinion. I've never been to either of these ships, so I don't know if their interiors have a few similarities

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #25109 on:** January 30, 2014, 10:52:41 »

The Concordia's are identical to the Carnival Splendor (which is often reffered to being in a class of its own

)

The Spirit class (like Ocean Star) are a class of there own.

nice videos GeoP

The map of piraeus you're using is so much better than the original one

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25112 on:** February 02, 2014, 15:10:23 »

It's made by me and now i'm making an update....if you play virtual sailor, do you know how to light it (the port)?

Antarktis · « **Reply #25113 on:** February 02, 2014, 15:19:48 »

I play virtual sailor, but I dont't know how the lights work or how to make scenerys at all, sorry

Had a good day today. For my birthday (yesterday!) I got a proper inflatable Kayak (not a cheap one you can pick up for a fiver at market stalls). We took it to a local lake today, and I had a good run, it was really stable.

Hoping to take her (I'm treating it like a ship already

) on holiday next month, I have to A) try to get a way to fit it in the 20kg of luggage we have and B) try to work out how to store it in the ship cabin

its not small, even when deflated...

I guess were going to need a new collage bus

Basicly the ~~boat~~ bus was sweaped off of the road with the rocks which is meant to act as a storm defence yet its the second time its collapsed this year...

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #25117 on:** February 03, 2014, 16:26:14 »

I saw that on the news! Were you on it?

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #25118 on:** February 03, 2014, 20:53:24 »

No, I live a little east from there but I was hoping to go to see it! I'm not 100% sure but we have 3 college busses - good one, the old coach and the rubbish one. That looks like the good one

saltydog · « **Reply #25119 on:** February 03, 2014, 21:00:27 »

Just saw an interesting video about how a cruise ship is lengthened..

I saw that earlier today and I was going to share it when I was on my laptop (I spend most of my time on my iPad now). But one question I got! How do the split a ship? Surly you can't have people with a cutter as that will take for ever!

saltydog · « **Reply #25122 on:** February 03, 2014, 23:35:20 »

In the reactions below the video, someone who seems to have been involved in the production of the video, answered that the operation took just 2 months..

clanky · « **Reply #25123 on:** February 04, 2014, 10:18:09 »

Don't know for sure salty, but that would seem reasonable as the block would have been pre-built.
