Wondering how your Polar Pioneer is coming..?
Bump.......
There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Impatience is a sin!
Besides, according to the FSDev thread, Henrik has been travelling a lot lately.
I would not call 3 months and asking about a mans work as being impatient.
The last two replies in the thread were yours, asking for status updates every time. That's very much impatient.
I am going by December being the last update.
I appreciate your info about Henrik being real world busy, that helps me understand the situation.
Your opinion, not so much.
I agree on t he amazing work, Henrick, both the ships AND the routes. It really makes a huge, empty, part of the world pop for a low-n-slow driver like me.
Having said all that, is it just me, or do the two crewmen aboard the Viking Dragon look remarkably like zombies? A Zombie Viking. Now THAT's Scary!!![]()

If DaveB was still with us his Royal Navy ships would quickly dispatch those zombies.Great work on the ships, Henrik!

Nice one on the Blue Star Henrik! The Blue Star Delos had a grounding in Ios this summer and many weekends were ruined working on getting it unstuck and towed back safely to Piraeus.
Speaking of ferries, and not wishing to hijack your thread, I would have no objection to share with you the double ended ferries I made for the Rio-Antirio scenery, for you to use them in other routes, either in the Aegean or elsewhere. You can find the models (3 of them) in the scenery installation package, which is here in SOH library. Btw, it's one of your ships passing under the bridge there.

Speaking of Ferries... How about giving the US lakes a bit of action. Default FSX has the Lake Champlain Ferries using default models but as a lifelong Vermonter (who has also ridden on these ships) it would be kinda cool to see appropriate sized ferries on the lake. I'm sure there are plenty or other ferries running on the great lakes as well.
The MV Adirondack is was originally built in 1913 and is still in service. I've ridden this ferry many times.
Here's some links to the Lake Champlain Transportation history page and a google images search.
