Global AI Ship Traffic V1 for FSX and P3D News and Support

**erican2** · October 17th, 2016, 00:18

I have tried to add objects to moving ai ships that you can pick up with your helicopters so far tried ai carriers and object placement tools. Have tried manually placing the object on the moving ship and saving the flight, when you use save flight the boat as moved altered saved flight to simonground from true to false with no success. I was trying to use the TI Hellas ship from the global ai package. Is it possible to add objects you can pick up onto a moving ship? If possible which large slow moving ship from the pack would be the most suitable.

Hi,
I can't answer whether you can put or pick up something from a moving ship. You can however test it with Maersk Helper and Skandi Copacabana. Both of them have a hard deck big enough to put something on - most other ships only have hard deck on the heli platforms. Both ships sail on routes out of Rio de Janeiro towards the east to Cabo Frio. For the upcoming package I will add larger hard decks on several ships in case your tests are successfull.

Another preview - UT745 series.

Thanks for the reply I will keep trying and let you know if I can get it to work.

Another couple for the offshore theme.

Thanks and there will be more

Excellent

There's a TV prog running in the UK at the moment called Worlds Biggest Shipbuilders (http://www.maersk.com/en/hardware/20...ers-on-your-tv) which has shown the construction of 3 Maersk vessels.. a tanker, an off-shore platform and a tug. I've wondered while watching it if you'd be making any

The tugs/support vessels you've done aren't the same as the one in the prog but they look equally cool

Hi Dave,
The jack-up rig I might consider, but generally speaking I have selected the models based on series sizes in order to have options to do more repaints or variants with only minor différences - for the same reason I have also chosen some slightly older designs like the UT745. An exception is the Maersk Detector and the Maersk Dispatcher where only two ships have been built with that design.

**DaveB** · October 25th, 2016, 03:49

Yup.. fully understood. I think the one in the prog is the 'first of line' and impressive as it is.. the repaint opportunities are zero. Much better to choose a standard type/class which is widely used

The jack-up rig featured in the prog was made in Singapore (if I remember right) and was sailed round to the North Sea on the back of one of those semi-submersibles. Now that would be an impressive model/s!!!

I jest.. ignore me

Today was test day for some of the new models in P3D:

**kl791** · October 30th, 2016, 05:59

And more...

**Sascha66** · October 30th, 2016, 06:04

Very beautiful!

Really nice! I have sailed in one of these supply boats to an oil well platform in Tunysia in bad weather at night. An experience I do not wish to repeat...

Just to remind you the feeling

Try imagining that movement in the night in a dirty pantry space without any outside reference and the sound of the creaking hull pounding on the waves. Then trying to stand up and reach the toilet and once there, the aiming problem...

Then once reaching the rig, at 2:00am getting picked up from the pitching deck and onto the rig using a personnel carrying crane. Those were the days... Glad I don't have to do this any more. I have the highest respect for the crews going through this for a living.

I know exactly what you mean...

luckly those days are gone, when you try that sea for real you want to be somewhere else in the universe...

Today I am glad I have my good old computer... First NVIDIA died during update on the new computer; then P3D stopped to work - probably as a consequence of the first... But at least I have GMAX and ModelconverterX on an old laptop so I could finish a Brazilian frigate while I try to repair the damage on the other computer...

Edit:

P3D and NVIDIA up and running again

**kl791** · November 20th, 2016, 06:09

The French landing ships Foudre and Siroco now serve in the Brazilian and Chilean navies. That was sufficient reason for adding them to the project - there will be four models in total including one with French Puma helicopters on the deck - still the texturing isn't finished but it starts looking like something.

And with some of the main parts with textures applied...

And with the rest of the Brazilian Navy

**JensOle** · November 27th, 2016, 08:29

I'm painting up a Danish MH-60R, is it possible to get a version of the Iver Huitfeldt with the rails and flag in the lowered (flight ops) position?

**JensOle** · November 27th, 2016, 11:29

**DaveB** · November 27th, 2016, 12:33

One of those was featured on Mega-Ships the other day. Very impressive

First test of the Foudre Class landing ships in P3D

Brazilian G40 Bahia

French L9011 Foudre - the Puma on the deck was done by Bernard BERJU83.

Awesome Henrik, looking forward to the updates of your global traffic files.

Cheers,
