Hello!

AWESOME! Great model Dom! The bridge looks PERFECT! It is so luxurious, nice & comfort, i like it very, very much!  :2thumbs:

The only thing, i don't see the enter on the bridge? From where we will be able to enter/exit the bridge ( i hope we'l be able to enter/exit bridge ).

Keep going! These is a nice progress and as always in extreme quality! :thumbs:

Kind regards!

Thanks all for the encouraging comments.

The only thing, i don't see the enter on the bridge? From where we will be able to enter/exit the bridge ( i hope we'l be able to enter/exit bridge ).

Gosh... silly me, I've forgotten the doors for entering into or exiting from the bridge! Oh, that's not a problem after all, here's the solution to solve that: put the crew members there directly in the shipyard during the construction of the ship and before the ceiling of the bridge is done, then let them be enclosed here for the rest of their life or until the ship is scrapped some 30 or 40 years later...  :lol:

Seriously, joke aside, you can see 2 doors on the aft bulkhead, on each side of the charts' chest of drawers. They both lead to a transersal corridor that leads to the outside through 2 doors, one starboard (below 1st screenshot) and one port side (below 2nd screeshot). This transversal corridor is mainly for crew, captain and owner use.
On the 3rd screenshot, you can see a succint layout around the corridor: 1 is the bridge, 2 are the captain' quarters, 3 is the owner private area (however, his/her large stateroom is located 2 decks below, behind the 4 large vertical portholes you can see on some previous external shots of the yacht), 4 is the downstairs access for crew only and 5 are the downstairs and upstairs accesses for everybody, but the owner or captain can choose to close that access to the guests if needed.
So, like some other yachts, there's not necessarily a direct access from the bridge to the outside (and as far as I know, MCA regulations, for instance, don't impose that) but, for mooring manoeuvres or sailings into narrow chanels or locks, these 2 doors you can see on the above bridge screenshots can be left open as well as the ones leading to the exterior (the 2 first shots below) for a quick and almost direct access to the bridge wings. The distance to go from the bridge to these wings is very short anyway.
The advantage of this layout is to allow a better security in the owner's and captain's quarters and in the bridge from potential agression or attack from the outside (this kind of ship can sometimes be very exposed and rich yachts owners tend to be sometimes a bit paranoid -justifiably or not).
That layout allowed me to resolve the independant crew/captain/owner access from the guests if needed, as well as the use of the flydeck above for everyone, without entering the internal private spaces there, as long as the owner or captain allow it.
When I build a ship model, it is not just an excercice of style or a sort of "3D showcase" only but before all the design and validation of a nautical/structural/architectural/functional/commercial concept where many thoughts are put and searches done, in order to make it as plausible and credible as possible. When I design a ship, I'm a big fan of realism, in all domains and I don't really like improbable creations. In a simulation, the immersive experience once aboard is far greater because of realistic graphics and behaviour, but because of a credible feeling of the ship herself as well.


Starboard access.


Port access.


Layout of the Bridge Deck near the bridge: 1= bridge, 2= captain' quarters, 3= owner private area, 4= downstairs access for crew only and 5= downstairs and upstairs accesses for everybody.

Again, thanks all for your comments, a new update will follow soon.

I confirm all my "at sea" screenshots on this thread are directly from VSF and not renderings from a 3D program. The only things customized are the foam, smoke and bow spray textures. I've modified the original dds ones, mainly for my own use so far, but the original ones are not very different however, just slight modifications for more realism.
 I've previously made no mention of that because it is the Ship Sim forum after all and I understand and respect the main focus here is on VSTEP product. I hope someday they'll be able to use my models and we could work together.

PS: You can now prepare the chocolate sauce or the jam...... I mean for eating the donut!  :lol:

You are really a professional Dom, everything is perfect, you are thinking about everything, and it all look so real as you said you want it that way. I'm glad to see your model! It will be a huge succsess, and soon or later there will come some rich peoples asking for you to make a modle for their yacht!  :thumbs:

Many kind regards!

Thank you Captain. Mitch and cptnchris for your nice and encouraging comments.

Just to clarify, this model is not part of the CCC yet. Actually, I've never said it will and I think some of you may have made the confusion if I read some of the posts here o in the CCC sub-forum. Perhaps for the next one if it happens some day or perhaps an integration into a new version of Ship Sim in the future, if possible... I hope so.

Some news. The bridge is now 99.99% completed with many custom made instruments and digital gauges. There are 59 working instruments into this bridge.
The release will most probably happen within the next few days, most probably before the end of the year if all goes well. I've still some very few and minor details to add, some additional cleaning in the components of the model, as well as some custom made sounds and the download page.

Here's the last update of the bridge:

Main console, engines off:


Engines on with power systems diagram on:


Full astern:


2/3 ahead:


Moving map and navigation console with sat coms sensors system diagram switched on when engines are running:


General view:


Meteo sat, echo sounder, various engines circuits, systems and ballasts diagrams console:


Always pick the right chart before sailing:


And since it looks like the captain has left the charts drawer open...


... it's now time to close it (Ctrl C):


Radar and gps/nav console with rotating radar scan line (about 1 rev/3sec):


Battery charge for talkie-walkies:


Cameras controls, public announcement system, seachlights controls, board HI-FI control and messages/internet interface console:






Sailing at dusk, off Scotland coasts:








Careful night watch:


Additionally, I've put together a very basic preview video of the bridge for seeing all of that in movement:

WOOOOW!

Better, and better! This bridge looks AMAZING! I'm so impresed by the functions i saw on the video! It looks so nice when you are speeding up, the displays react, and we can see all the informations on the bridge, also the displays are lighted, so the bridge looks much more real! I am very, very impresed, i can compare that bridge with any other i saw, really nice Dom!

It is just PERFECT! But i must say, i expected that.  ;) Because when you are modeling the result is only THE BEST!  :2thumbs:

You have a huge knowledge in ships and maritime! Keep going!  :thumbs:

Many kind regards

Thanks everyone for your comments, I'm glad some of you have some interest in this work.

Pool & Jacuzzi Simulator!  :lol:













The blueish spot effect into the pool are animted for simulating the movement of the water and the bubbles boil into the jacuzzi. Here's a short preview video of all of that (too bad YouTube ate quite a dose of the quality so it appears blurry and a bit strange and messy in that video):

The end of the construction is very close now and, if all goes well, the release should happen in about a week.
