Hi Bookman,
Yes, the project is alive. Work and other reallife issues have reduced the communication a bit, but a new package is almost ready. Very few models missing. The new models are adapted to work also with P3Dv3.1 - however I also need to make a new effect package for all ships and correct some models for them to work correctly in P3Dv3.1 due to the wave effects.
Below some screen shots:

He is at that
I saw in one of your posts that you are a naval architect... so here a picture from the Chinese shipyard... 175.000 DWT China Progress Under construction in GMAX - the original was built in Shanghai

Henrick,
Great work! Do you know why some of the ships stand on their bows/sterns etc. in P3D3? I tried adjusting the cfg files but when I told a problem ship to ignore the 3D surface it ended up on its side going sideways?!

Hi,
Yes, I am aware of the problem which appeared in P3Dv3.1. For the moment the solution is to turn down your water setting from ultra to high. That solves the issue. There is also another fix possible, but it requires revisiting mdl files and sim.cfg's and I will only do that at a later point.

Amazing! A capesize bulker. The latest ones have increased their size to 208.000 DWT.
Let me know if you need any plans for any type of bulker, tanker or containership. I have access to many.
Hi Dimus,
Plans are highly appreciated
Even if it has become easier to find plans; many shipping companies publish their GA plans on the web, but often in reduced formats or with a limited number of decks shown or maybe just a side profile. Having a good plan cuts the modeling time by 30 - 50 %. Recently I got access to the older versions of Significant Ships, which is a treasure chest for a ship modeller, but to purchase the new ones is quite an investment. The plans which are highest on my wishing list for the time being are good plans of some of the mega container vessels - I did the Maersk McKinney Møller purely based on pictures and stills from the Discovery channel documentary about this ship. Later I visited one of the sisterships, and I got access to some basic plans and what I did is not far off, but still with a plan it is better... So if you (or anybody else) should happen to have plans of one the new 20.000 TEU container ships it would be great... Other plans are also welcome; my normal criteria when I search for targets is that there is a potential for repaints. So standard types purchased by many shipping companies are better than unique ships unless it is a ship with a very special story... Maersk Alabama I did because of the movie and the dramatic pirate attack... Others have been done because fellow simmers have sailed on them e.g. Andrew Thomsen - the author of Airports of Norway freeware - sailed on Vigdis Knutzen, so modelling that one was an obvious way to say thanks for his giant work for the community...
