80m long, 16,5m wide, 6m draft
fully loaded highest speed (wind 2bft) : 19,9 knots
fully loaded highest speed (facing wind 7bft and heavy sea) : 16,5 knots

4 main engines of 4000 kw each (total 16.000 kw / 21.000 HP)
bow thrusters : 2 x 883 kW
aft thruster : 2 x 515 kW

towing capacities : two winches (200 tons pulling ability each)

And so on ... That's a really beautiful ship !

Sorry but... 75m, 200 tons bollard pull, ocean-going tug, same speed... what's the difference with the Fairmount Sherpa already in the sim?

Ciao,

Corrado

You're right on that point

But that's the case for most of the proposals here, you can see lots of car ferries (quite similar to the PoR), tankers, cruise liners (similar to the ocean star of the addon which will be soon available), and so on ...

The gaming possibilites with tugs are (to my mind !) far more interesting than those of a supertanker which most of the time doesn't even enter inside the peers of harbours .

Well, you're right... Let's say that tugs and supertankers can be interesting together... Tugs also need something to tow.

well, i like to explore ships more

alekoy · « **Reply #254 on:** September 03, 2007, 22:33:14 »

How about Floating sheerlegs?
Shipsim also has the crane-part in the simulator.. would have been cool if you could use the crane, and lift boats by f.ex. the mooring-points

Mr Robville · « **Reply #255 on:** September 04, 2007, 08:11:57 »

yeah awsome idea

jamied1997 · « **Reply #256 on:** September 04, 2007, 10:18:43 »

Poseidion, Buismark, Olympic, Brittanic the list could go on all the historic ship PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shamen20 · « **Reply #257 on:** September 04, 2007, 12:48:21 »

What about H.M.S. Britannia? the queens old yaht?
would be a nice vessel to show internally as well.

SailorMen · « **Reply #258 on:** September 04, 2007, 14:08:07 »

A cruises ship like Carnival Freedom or Costa Serena/Concordia, or Great Princess or something like theese ships.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #259 on:** September 04, 2007, 16:00:32 »

Ridders · « **Reply #260 on:** September 04, 2007, 18:13:55 »

Anything so long as it's large and floating

Hey dbk218

Century is my favorite ship from celebrity's fleet with galaxy and mercury in my thoughts also i like the lines of all 3 of them, and especially now that century has balconies added.
but then if we sould have Century i want it after the refit it has gone thru in spring 2006

Now that would be awesome!!! This would put the game onto a whole new level. Realism at its best!!

LeslieBond · « **Reply #267 on:** September 08, 2007, 09:23:04 »

Yes, the Floating sheerlegs is great idea, but i thought on something other thing. Would be awesome to make, and drive the famous US Coast Guards fleet!
Just see it.. Sure, release in a new addon name maybe Coast Guards: SAR Seas
try to catch smugglers, search with 3-4 rescue boat a lost boat, or brings ships to safe place in storm..Surching ships and try to find illegal contents, This is just some ideas. The best if you make hidden checkpoints, and try to find the ships with binoculars, radar and i have an idea with a sonar. The US coast guards have lot of special wessels, just see the training sailship, in this site you see the ships(boats, cutters)
Well, they have 30 ships

http://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/ (http://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/)
I remember the New York mod for Shipsim 2006, and was great to see the Coast Guard ship there.
Ok, this is only an idea, not more..But just why not payware addons, like in flightsim? Historical addons, and SAR addons, Tug addons etc?..
I thought on another idea the Surface Effect Wessel HSS, or a Surface Effect plane!

diggy · « **Reply #268 on:** September 08, 2007, 11:43:18 »

Good idea.All about a submarine with a patch to make it go under water and see under water.

Moving the coromuel from the IA static ships to the active player ships would be a nice idea ! this little ferry seems very charming, and the 3D model looks quite good already !

Did you notice it, in some harbours ?

this is Coromuel in real life. http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Mexican_Papenburg.html (http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Mexican_Papenburg.html)
I modelled that particular paint from the picture with red letters spelling LA PAZ. the last three pictures (before Puerto Vallarta) are mine, you can see the credits. She is sailing today with baja ferries scheme

watch her here. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDeQG7Ezg7E (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MDeQG7Ezg7E)

It would be great to see these older vessels (http://www.semg.org.uk/misc/steamer.html) addded to the Portsmouth Ryde route. They were not equipped with modern stuff like bow thrust etc and would entail using ropes more in docking in the traditional way.

humbuck · « **Reply #274 on:** September 09, 2007, 19:39:53 »

this would do.
