HMS Bounty - FSX Native

Congratulations on launching the native goodship on her maiden voyage, Milton :)

This was surely one of the most pleasurable and memorable projects I have had the honour to work with you during its original development.

I still have the original 2048 x 2048 layered Photoshop files should they be of any use to anyone. :)

Darn, Nigel, I could have really used them a couple of weeks ago :biggrin-new: . I'll send you a pm with my email address. I would like to fix a few things on my repaint.

Nigel,

I thought sure you uploaded a Paint Kit for the Bounty/Endeavor/Beagle but I cannot find it now. :banghead:
Was going to upload my copy and I can't find that either. :dizzy:

Thanks MZee, I'm gonna turn the Pearl loose with these once I edit.

I really wish there were more.

I would really love to see her AI version sailing in the NSTU (Pago Pago, American Samoa) region, where I enjoy the low and slow water sports regularly, as shown below (Orbx scenery). In the meantime, I am still trying to decipher how to manually install and use AI Carriers, lol ! I'm not a programmer, although I think I should have taken up the profession well before starting this hobby.

I'm at work right now, but will make up a traffic file for a cruise around Orbx's Pago Pago when I get home.:loyal:

She will feel right at home here ! I often fly amongst the 17 islands in this region and no classic tall ships in sight. Thank-you ! :applause:
 
I have been sailing her around and quite like her, have not found too many issues with her. I am using P3dv4.4. The one thing I can say about her is that she is hard on the frame rates. Especially when you push time compression up. At 1x she moves along on my rig in the 24-27fps, but at 4x it drops to less than 1. But given that she is for the slower pace of life I can't complain too much. It would be nice to have a VC view point on the bow but I can probably figure that out on my own.

Thanks Milton.

Okay Joe, let's see if I can process this:

1) I ... quite like her
2) ... have not found too many issues with her.
3) ... she is hard on the frame rates
4) ... at 4x it drops to less than 1 [fps]
5) ... I can't complain too much.
6) ... It would be nice to have a VC view point on the bow but I can probably figure that out on my own.

Coming from you Joe, I'll take this as a compliment. :)

Just as an aside, my 9.5 year old computer with 768MB Ram GTX260 (also 10 years old) gets 37fps. EDIT: Checked at 4X sim rate = 27-28fps

Bounty Question for Milton

Milton,

Is there a reason why the AI files for the Bounty go to the /Aircraft folder rather then in the /Boats folder? Just trying to understand all this. It will work in both for me.

Thanks

Gray Eagle, I do not know as I have not invested time in AI.

I have my AI aircraft and Bounty folders in the Airplanes folder.

I'm sure someone here will enlighten us. :)
 
I moved HMS Bounty to the SimObjects > Boats folder when I first installed it in May 2015. Seems to work okay. I have all my ships and boats located or relocated to the Boats folder. If there's a problem, I just haven't seen it.
 
FSX Launch Help

Looking at contents of FSXlaunch.zip appears to be a driveable dingy. How can this be made compatible
with AI Carriers?

By itself, it doesn't matter whether you install a boat/airplane/helicopter in either the ../SimObjects/Airplanes/ , ../SimObjects/Boats/ or ../SimObjects/Rotorcraft/ folder.
FSX (by default, defined in the fsx.cfg file) searches all these folders for aircraft.cfg files.
You can even install an aircraft/boat/etc. in ANY folder, provided you add the search path to it in the fsx.cfg file.

Be carefull however when you install a "flyable" addon to another place then suggested by the designer.
Because there may be gauges / config files in the addon that uses "absolute" path names (relative to the main FSX folder).
In that cases, the addon may not work.

But for the Bounty addon, its not a problem.
If you like, you could even add it to the
../SimObjects/Rotorcraft/ folder ...LoL . It would still work.

I wasn't so much concerned as to where to install it i.e boats or airplanes. My concern was that the files included, suggest that this is a driveable craft as I'm interested only
adding it as an AI to AI Carriers. Some of the files will have to stripped (not required for AI) so just wanted to know how to convert it from driveable to AI status.
