[erican2]

Do you have to remove the previous version to install?

 

[scotth6]

Thanks!

Thankyou Henrik, and all other contributors, for making this already great package even better. I love to go ship sightseeing in the sim/.

Cheers,

Do you have to remove the previous version to install?

It depends if you have installed all previously fixes - there is one folder from the very first package from 2013 - "AI_Hyundai_Container", which I will recommend to remove - the rest is not necessary - you can just overwrite.

 

[erican2]

Thanks removed the ship you mentioned and overwrote the existing files. I can't imagine FSX without your ai ship packages.

Very fast download speed!

Many thanks Henrik, looking forward to discovering all the new additions - especially the little scenarios you have created.

Thanks Gary. I just started the download from Simviation, and that said 7 hours! I will try the FlightsimNorway link.

Thank you very much Henrik, I can't wait to install this new version.

By the way, I dloaded a copy from flightsimnorway.com. I averaged right around 12-13 mb/s dload speed.

Thank you again

Thanks a lot, Heinrik, it is a pleasure to see my ships sailing the seas with so many others. Great job

 

[Naismith]

Wonderful work thank you very much.

Point of interest, Simviation quoted 6 hours to d/l, FSNorway site 4 mins. I went the Norway route.

Muchas gracias por dejarme utilisarlos

Thanks for letting me use them - suddenly Australia got a great lift with half the Australian Navy included thanks to you and not to forgetting all your Spanish Navy units. Also your Knox class serves both the Taiwaneese, the Thai and the Egyptian navy and your OHP Class now also sails under Pakistan's flag.

To those frustrated with the download speed at simviation I have also sent the files to avsim.com and flightsim.com however, I have had troubles uploading directly to these two sites so please be patient.

It took me a few hours to download it from Simviation. Looks quite amazing! I had a earlier version installed a couple years back, but remembered I had a lot of problems, trying to uninstall it. The instructions for installation seem a little complicated. Is there a way to install it so my P3DV4 build is not affected if I need to uninstall the add-on? Thanks, NC

I hope some of the other users can help you giving some advise for an xml file, which is the method to use if you want to be able to uninstall easily - it is the third option in the installation guide, however it depends on which drive you want to use for the installation - one of the beta testers - Knud - has it installed on his H-drive with the following xml

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">

I do not use this method my self - I have everything copied into the standard folders, which is annoying for removal but is quick and dirty for installation - 30 seconds to copy the four folders from the zip and drop them in the sim, but I am also still stuck on P3Dv3 waiting for a new PC an starting everything from scratch....

Thank you for this living sea....

Hi kl791

a big Thank you for your hard work during the last years. The result - in my opinion one of the best addons for our simulators.
It´s unpossible to imagine the simulator without your living sea!


A short trip to the waters around Faslane on Clyde/Gare Loch and I could already seek out the HMS Vanguard...

A few miles south ....yes - traffic...

...some more miles south suddenly german Sailors...

... I think there is a lot to discover in the FSX seas...

Many greetings

RS

 

[kl791]

Nice shots Rick I got quite some request to increase the traffic in the sea between the Uk and Ireland - now there are ferries crossing, naval exercises with subs and aircraft carriers, and even Ocean Races - both a "mini" Fastnet Race and the Volvo Ocean Race.

Henrik and associates, a heartfelt thank you and appreciation for your continued efforts on what is undoubtedly one of the greatest
freeware flightsim addons of all time. Incredible work. The virtual seas have never looked better.

 

[srgalahad]

SimV is my source of last resort because of the speed, but fortunately the process at FSNorway was painless and reasonably quick. A couple of abortive tries, probably due to the hordes grabbing the file, but switching to the second server got it done in a few minutes.

Thank you Henrik, et al, for this labour of love. The additional ships and routes will only make it better than what I've enjoyed with V.1. Using LittleNavMap makes it easy to see what might be in the area worth investigating... most recently, off the coast of New England:

Excellent release Henrik! Many thanks!

 

[IanHenry]

Henrik and everyone who has contributed to this, it's a fantastic addon.


Again, many thanks,
