It will be sold in our store (duh…), our affiliate stores and the Microsoft Marketplace. It will run on PC and Xbox.

Ha_Ma 195 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have made a harbour cruise at Rotterdam yesterday. Here we passed the production site of these offshore wind generators, supposed to be the biggest of it's kind in the world. Please login to display this image. When they are ready, they are loaded to these special vessels. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. We had seen these vessels sometimes on the sea the last two years, so it was very impressing to get so close to it one time and see it jacked up. I am really looking forward to this addon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPx 1 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Is there a plan to make the models look realistic? Everything looks extremely new and shiny, like plastic models. Hopefully you plan to add wear and tear such as rust and damage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted September 14, 2022 We most certainly do plan an Xbox version, but it does not seem to be easy to get everything to work. Hopefully we will soon have an option to test our code on Xbox. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted September 14, 2022 Finally I am able to show you a part of this project that we feel is very much the core. The actual constructions and other areas where work is being done. See, there are thousands of construction workers building things. Windfarms (did you know that The Netherlands, UK, Belgium, Denmark and Germany will have 80%+ of their electricity demand met by wind in 2040?), oil rig, pipelines, electrical cables, gas production platforms, drilling rigs, security services, surveying.... It is the biggest industry park in the world. And that is what we are trying to show with this project. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

I know what you mean but we simply do not have the budget to adapt thousands of bitmaps. That said, a lot of the objects do show their age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really looking forward to this addon Yeah, been there. The scale of these things is incredible, just as the financial investments. A advisor in this project told me this: "Combine the European car industry with the aviation industry and then multiply by five. That's the size of what is happening." You just do not see it because it is out of sight. You see a Volkswagen on the road but you do not see electricity. Or another figure. While offshore workers make very serious money, the cost to keep one person working can be over 5000 euro a day. That's because it costs a bloody fortune to have the floatels out there, helicopter rides, massive investments in security and safety. In the picture I copy, there must be up to 300 million Euro in hardware visible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewPx 1 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi, it looks great (I know I commented about some objects that just look too new and shiny, which is a bit of a shame) but it still looks pretty good, and for the heli simmers it will be great to have decent looking platforms to fly out to and land on. Is there any update on the release date? How about an early release for the heli guys who mainly want to fly out to oil and gas rigs, so just the rigs with landing pads to start with and then an add on for the rest when it's done? ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inspector for the building site arrived with his sailing yacht and is about to be picked up by the crew of the support ship. With this support ship he wil be sailing to the construction ship on which he will be winched up from the winch deck of the support ship. The reason for this odd way to get onto the the building site is because the inspector was on a holiday with his yacht when he was called in to inspect some equipment. This was damaged during assembly and needs to be inpected and decided if the work can continu with this equipment or if a mayor delay will occur. The difficulty to get equipment installed at sea has such a high priority that they lifted the inspector of his yacht bunk and let him interrupt his vacation for this job. His wife is crumpy about it but will be compensated by the gifts he will give to her paid by the amount he earned by doing this job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avdheide 9 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The pictures look great and I am very excited for the release on this. Especialy when the maasvlakte heliport is included. Do you know that at the end of the rotterdam harbour enter piers ther are elevated helipads located. They are used for training purpose to train helicopter pilots for landing on offshore helipads. Will you include this with this Heliport. Its very near by Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Nope. The sailing vessel got into the construction zone and did not listen to radio calls. So the security vessel lowered one of it RIBs that is now on the way to escort the sailing vessel out of the dangerous area. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewPx 1 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Is this product still likely to release before the end of 2022 seeing as we have now missed the planned summer release, or have I misunderstood and it is actually planned to release summer 2023?
