Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted April 20, 2022 There is over 7 million polygons in this picture... Please login to display this image. Still many many ships and objects to go. If you want to have an idea on the level of detail... this afternoon there was a lively discussion on how much the propeller of a tanker should visible when it is unloaded between our team and the advisors we use in this project. That sort of discussion ends up with images like this: Please login to display this image. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katana1K 10 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Very much looking forward to this product, used to work in the fabrication of massive offshore structures in NE Scotland, Jackets, Top sides, Jack Ups and TLP, can provide detailed pictures of many projects we worked on if it helps. All looks extremely well detailed so far, very impressive, all too clean and shiny though, but have re-read the announcement and it is planned to dirty things up, rust etc. Just to confirm, solid platform will have land-able helicopter pads? apparently moveable objects like ships cant be landed on due to constraints of the simulator. I hope they fix this, you could do this in FSX. Perhaps model Dyce Airport in Aberdeen, its a hub for North Sea activity with constant traffic back and forth to the oil fields via helicopters, also support vessels from the harbour, pretty sure nobody has done Dyce yet for FS2020, even have regular routes for helicopters to the north sea platforms from Dyce here somewhere I could share if needed for this project. Also here is an idea for another vessel for de-commissioning older rigs, topsides and jackets Pioneering Spirit is its name, its currently berthed at Lerwick harbour Shetland, would love to work on this vessel, really would.

Hugo_J 40 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (No related), but Dyce Airport is planned by Pyreegue Dev's Co. I do hope we'll able to land on moving ships, could be very challenging ! Finger crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. As Mathijs multiple times explained, it works not on animated objects. If an object is static, no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, when you are without any static visual reference, movement is simple exactly the same as wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an object is static, no problem. Multiple times? Oh I'm sorry then, honestly never noticed, as I mentioned I honestly was not being obtuse. Perhaps its a language barrier between you and me, but you seem a little hostile already, please cut me some slack, I'm on your and Aerosofts side here ... that was my first post here, I have re read the original post and caught first mention of this after a second read, and I mentioned that, you seem to have missed it Sometimes it takes time to digest good news like this scenery, its good that its happening I am so super pleased this scenery is happing, believe you me Genuinely have worked in the North Sea sector of UK, mostly in Rig Fabrication, Top Sides, Jackets, jack up's and even TLP platforms, lots of experience in this area even though retired now. These pictures are for Mathijs and the project workers for this superb title still in construction. I hope they can be of use, some are on shore construction, some offshore installations I've helped build. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

I have spend a lot of time getting access to a a database that has the exact locations of wind turbines. While I think this should be public information (hey they are not a private land), it seems that information is worth a lot of money to some companies. I have been quoted sums between 3000 and 13.000 euro. Is there anybody who might have this data? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant 126 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The VFR Obstacle list here might give you a number of locations but will only be for UK airspace: NATS Digital Datasets As it's an Excel file, you should be able to add a filter and pull out the offshore stuff from the full list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinsale A and B are in the Celtic Sea, not the North Sea. But perhaps we can thrown it in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted April 25, 2022 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 25, 2022 Nothing special. There are several ways to write geographical coordinates, like 40:26:46 N, 079:56:55 W 40:26:46.302 N 079:56:55.903 W 40°26′46″ N 079°56′55″ W N 40°26′47″ W 079°56′55″ 40d 26′ 47″ N 079d 56′ 55″ W 40.4462 N 79.9489 W 40.4462, -79.9489 40° 26.7717 N, 79° 56.93172 W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
