Oil transfer outside port.

The Now named Seawise Giant, in the north east Atlantic Ocean. Heading towards the North Sea for a special job.

... and here she is again... on sea trials. The stats are accurate, a turning circle of two nautical miles. According to her captain Surinder Kumar Mohan, whom I've actually talked to on Facebook, when I used that... (nowadays I stick to forums)

Somewhere outside the Port of Gothenburg... she was all too large and had a far too great draft to be able to dock in port... so here she's waiting for a smaller tanker to dock beside for some oil transfer...

Today I bought the scenery from Sim3D based around southern Sweden, including the Port of Gothenburg. Here is my model of the Jahre Viking, being given a helping hand from a tug into the oil terminal.

As she is the largest and longest ship there is, it won't be an easy task, but this tug is determined to help.

I'd be happy to oblige, Sean.
I've sent you a PM.

That's a beautiful vessel, your Monowai. Looks to be multi-purpose, like most of the USCG cutters in which I've served. If I can be of any service in creating lifelike properties and elements to make her 'sail right', give me a yell. I've worked up performance parameters for many vessel modelers here and in VSF, based on a career as USCG officer, and recreational boat owner.

Good Morning SailorJohn!

I've been sailing a bit now.. and think it's time I called in an expert (see.. that's where you come in) to tune my vessel! Biggest problem I have is getting her to turn at low speed, even Sydney harbour is hard work

Oh, and I've turned her back into an "Island Trader" as she was prior to refit for RNZN Service.. so 2 versions, same ship, different paint

I can make her available (warts and all) if you want to do some fettling?

Cheers
Sean

Cool. I go way back in MF and VS...probably 1999. It's been a fun ride. All the joys of real-world boating, without the barnacles, boatyard bills, and barfing over the lee rail.

Welcome to VSNG, NZ6258. We're glad to have you aboard.

Thanks, I've been a way a wee while but it's great to be back, and VSNG has certainly raised the bar!

HMNZS Monowai (A06) was a hydrographic survey vessel of the Royal New Zealand Navy, and was known as the 'Ghost of the Coast' due to her quietly doing her job around the long and often lonely coastlines of NZ

I am picking up how things are done in VSNG vs old VS, and getting her working. I may release a beta version for you to have a tinker with

Cheers
Sean

HMNZS Monowai exploring Akaroa Harbour

Monowai was a model I built as a scenery object for FS/P3D and converted. Just trying now to get it sailing right <lol>

So after a long absence, I'm back. More particularly with my tanker, here approaching the Port of Gothenburg. My hometown

Taking it very slowly through the entrance to the harbour area...

Hi, first I opened the default map.jpg and enlargened it from 2048x2048 in Photoshop to 8192x8192 (I think the size must be power of two, 2048x2048, 4096x4096 etc..). Then I took screenshots from C-Map and added them to the proper place and size in Photoshop over the default map and saved the jpg.

Hello, could anyone here help me with a boat’s cfg?

by **smorris** » Wed Jun 08, 2022 1:34 am

That map looks interesting. I’m going to have to look at that.

by **mukava** » Sat Jun 04, 2022 3:48 pm

I found out that you can modify and enlarge any scenery map.jpg background image used in map viewer in VS and replace it with whatever map you have(with some palette restrictions). Here I replaced the default map background with map grabbed from C-Map making the system look bit more like real ECDIS.

And so I am back onto my project! Here she is in the morning, in the California scenery!
