Hello everyone,

This morning, i decided to give the Furie some thorough testing, i decided to try and go the the little harbour in the Phi Phi islands, i started out on my journey from the spawn point near the "Hin Dot" (i think that is what it is called

)

I Carefully approached the little harbour as i knew the shallows and the risk of becoming beached would be quite high. I came to about 15 Metre's away from the gangway and started to turn starboard then violently shook the ship into Full reverse when near the gangway,
Then when at a comfortable speed i knocked the engine back into Slow Ahead and turned starboard even more, then, i lined up the stern with the gangway then reversed slightly and took the bow in. This is an excellent ship and i certianly didn't expect the great responce time from the engines, i am very pleased with the Furie and as you can tell from my signature and avatar this is now my favourite ship,

I'd advise anyone to purchase her, great price for a great vessel, and the money raised goes to the up keeping of the real ship as far as i know. The Furie can be bought from the official ship simulator website (in the shipyard section), the link is below.

http://www.shipsim.com/shipyard/shipyard.php

All of the docking was done from inside the wheelhouse and outside on the Telemotor platform where the compass and external wheel is, along with the telemotor.

Do you have any image's of you sailing the Furie, if so, post your pictures here!

Kind Regards,
Jack.

Well done Jack, you are really good with the tugs! I really enjoyed sailing the Furie in Phi Phi this morning, especially the meet up in a little cove around phi phi with my friends. It was tight, but the little ship made it, which is impressive for a 92 year old ship

Furie and Elbe in Rotterdam

NathanC · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:46:22 »

Nice, i think that picture would be great in POTM - i can't wait for Elbe, i wonder if it will be better than Furie

Yes i agree, all of these pictures are fantastic, keep them coming!

As regards to the Elbe being better than the Furie, i do not know, most ships have there good points and bad points so i would assume they would be just as good as eachother, although some ships really are fantastic-some fantastically rubbish

but i think the Elbe will certianly be a good buy as well as the Furie was.

The Shipyard, in my opinion, is what ship simulator needed, that way they can churn out ships and people can buy what they think they are going to use, however this does create one problem,

The problem is that because some people might say "ohhh i don't like the look of that one, i'm not buying that" whereas other people have that ship, when it comes to multiplayer, people will have different ships and the more ships made-the more confusion on the servers.

But i would really like to thanks V-Step for this and that they are moving in the right direction! lets see more of this!

Kind Regards,
Jack,

You all have postet nice pics here. And now I know that it is really good that I want to buy the "Furie" I'll surely test how the docking-behaviour is. And I want even like Jack dock the "Furie" like a really "Captain" in the wheelhous or on the bridge wing.
P.S. Jack youve done the most beautiful pictures of the "Furie" Ive ever seen
