Your new nightlighting artwork looks - as always - incredible KL791
QUESTION: Have you ever considered creating your own stand-alone SHIP-Simulator?
(instead of continue to add your awesome and beautifull artwork into somebody elses FLIGHT-simulator)?
No, I am not a programmer; most of all I use modelling to relax. Right now sitting with a dog sleeping on my feets adding a new ro/ro ferry to the fleet... And as Marc says this whole project is conceived as AI - models have become more detailed over the years as the sims and my skills evolved, but still this is not done for being really close.Your new nightlighting artwork looks - as always - incredible KL791

I think more than just the rescue cruise of your fleet will be includedHello Henrik,
these are very interesting news (I still have a rescue cruiser of the DGzRS to give away).
I just hope that MS/ASOBO don't ruin all your work when they start to make the announced changes to the water and bathemetry.
By the way, have you found a way to eliminate the circling of the ships at the mooring points?
Impressive performance, unique what you have created!Long time since last real update... But now we have some news.... We are going real time. Together with Kai from AIG we have managed to get the first 57 ships - the total fleet of the passenger and freight ferry operator DFDS - into the sim real time. DFDS provided both AIS data and documentation to model their ships and after some intensive work, where I have added models while Kai worked on the injection, we are now so far that we can show screenshots from the test run.

The real time version means that ships will dock in harbors and behave much more realistic and be in the right places. And while the DFDS package is our proof of concept we have something much bigger brewing, but will let you know in due time.

In addition to the real time we will also up our fleet with a bunch of new models including e.g. fishing boats for the North Sea, Pacific and Indian Ocean but also in collaboration with the German Sea Rescue DGzRS their fleet of coastal rescue boats.

The DFDS real time is progressing - beta works nicely - now I will get to do some modelling this weekend to complete the fleet and then we are very close. Next, together with AIG and new partners we are starting on a development project to take the whole project to the next level.Impressive performance, unique what you have created!![]()
