HMS Endeavour

[B0ikat]

Not the best weather for sailing, but the wind is at our backs!

Fun, isn't it?

[B0ikat]

Yup! After seeing your screenies in the "edited" topic, I might eventually get P3D. But the ship is great!

I also used OpusFSI to move below decks, VERY simple.

I was surprised to see that Milton had included that.

Actually I had both the lower deck and hold deck well appointed but had to strip out most of it due to poly and parts limits being reached. :-/

When I started out animating the 14 sails requiring 10 positions and 140 clew lines, I had to start paring back on what I had built sadly.
It's amazing how fast those parts add up. For example, there are 100 dead-eyes, 258 standing/running rigging lines, and although you see 14 sails, there are actually 40 of them waiting to be displayed at various times.

OP: Great screen shots; thanks for sharing them.

I understand about the line, sheets, etc.

A very long time ago I carved a wooden model of the Golden Hind.


For the most part I dislike the representation of rain in FSX/P3d.

But with your craft, the rain goes very well. Especially from the deck looking out.

Thanks again.

pardon my ignorance, but how do you change the wind speed is there a simple way?...would be nice to control it with the throttle control ....ha...my rudder works in reverse from the aircraft...not read manual yet...will have to check it out........what a great job on the ship.....

You must go to World/Weather/User Control/Customize Weather then the Wind tab.

Then set Wind speed and Gusts speed.

Of course you can also set cloud cover, precipitation, turbulence, etc.

RE: Rudder: how are you activating rudder. It works the same as an aircraft whether using rudder pedals, twist joystick, or keys. It should also work with Auto Coordination on.

all's good now.............ha....makes a great stress relief......like listening to those recordings which are supposed to calm the mind............maybe psychologists will start recommending this for therapy
