Detailed ship models

[RobSmith]

Hi everyone,
I find it quite hard to find content for VSF/VS online, since it seems scattered on many different private websites. But after much googling I just want to share information about some of the most detailed ships that I have found modeled to date, and also some interesting upcoming projects. They happen to be baltic ferries witch seem to be a popular niche in the community. Personally I am mostly interested in using the program as a simulator, bridge operations, navigation and ship maneuvering so if you know of other creations with this high level of detail and realism, especially with regards to the bridge, please do share.


”International Shipyard” has the most detailed and ships and interior I've seen. The latest one, Victoria I, is the most detailed model I’ve seen so far:

”RoRo Finland” has two nice ship models currently available, and also two very good sceneries with realistic ports operated by these ships in the Baltics:

Not yet released but super interesting and beautiful upcoming models, keep an eye on ”Albin VSF models”:

"Canary Shipyard" have created many nice models, although the bridge interior in these ships may not be just as detailed as the creators above.

I'm not entirely sure how detailed you want the bridges but I have several ships on my website which do have working bridges (working instruments) and are to some detail. Quite a few of my ships have been updated to make the most of Virtual Sailor NG as they now have up to 6 animations. I also like to think most of the cruise ships (P&O, AIDA, Carnival & Princess) also handle quite well too.

These aren't just ferries though but mostly cruise ships - https://robsvsfaddons.weebly.com/

If it's mostly ferries you want then the links you've provided probably offer the best ships around. One thing to keep in mind about 'Albin VSF models' /Baltic 3Dmodels is they've not updated any of their sites since 2019.

3Dship.net offer several freeware and payware ships for VS.

Sim3D offers several payware ships for VSF/VSNG - not all ships have detailed/working bridges though but worth a look if you fancy spending some money on them.
