I have thought about it, but I'm letting time pass a little more, just to see... As of this post, I'm still alive and well. I just banned and removed a bunch of spammers as of writing this post. Hopefully we'll see a change for Virtual Sailor for the better. In the meantime, I'll just wait... Fair w...

Ahoy Master Syrphid! 🫡
I do believe Ilan would have wanted me to continue as well. I will see if I can muster the power to fire up trusty Blender and get going. I have no plans of scrapping this project, no worries!

I realise I've been very quiet lately... once again, I'm not dead. I've just shelved the project, and my interests have shifted a lot lately. With Ilan's death, it didn't really make me encouraged to continue... it has not really sunk in yet...


This one's for you Ilan 🫡

I am still kind of stumped by this... my thoughts are with his family. I can only say from the communication I had with him over the years was that he was a very nice person, lending me a helping hand on developing my tanker every now and then (mostly the cfg scripting as did Sailorjohn, thanks to b...

I just read this. I really don't know what to say... except Rest In Peace, Ilan Papini...

Hi MokMok,

I can recommend Bottles, it uses Wine to run any Windows program. Just look it up in your program manager in whatever Linux-distribution you use

Oil transfer outside port.

I'm having plans on actually painting my own hull texture how she looked pre-Jahre Viking years. The problem is: I believe there is not one single method of doing it, but several... I basically need to make (or paint...) a ribbon at the bowline, with a star in the middle. The smokestack also had thi...

I was thinking about hosting today. I've got quite a couple of hours of free time before I'm off.

Just shoot me a message, and I will get back to you with details!

... 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)

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 determin...

I would ask Ilan about that. Not sure.

Cheers Ilan!

"Captain... they're here."

Kind of complex... but I found a "solution"... I made a bsplash.dds in Gimp, added a alpha channel and deleted the solid white background, saved it in my tanker's folder, and the bow splash is gone. I did this because the bow splash was way oversized when sailing this giant. However, the b...

Hello Serkan,

Did you lengthen or widen the bounding box?

EDIT: I've tried all kinds of things with the bounding box now... no change. I think it's got to be something in Blender that needs to be adjusted.

I just found out now that they are inside the hull... is there a way to fix this that anybody knows of?

First post of 2023... I am looking for a way to get the wake of my tanker to show up in-game... kind of hard to explain, but in short, I mean the waves that are formed by the bow, and travels out sideways from the ship and disappears by the stern. In Virtual Sailor NG, it doesn't show up, even with ...

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...

Hello This is a U-Boat (WW1 Era) Made by Deutschmark for his game called "Canvas Knight" (this model also works on VSF/VSNG, since they run on the same game engine Made by Ilan) https://allaircraftsimulations.com/showthread.php?tid=75802 Thou there r several more U-Boats out there (includ...

hi, I had problems with some boats too, such as the placement of lights and navigation behavior. I had to solve these problems with the cfg files in question. My problems are solved and I think you will have more change by touching the smoke.cfg to adjust the smoke you want. I can send you the vehi...

I was thinking about reducing the amount of visible smoke from my tanker. The problem is I do not know how to do it... either through an image editor (I use Gimp) or by changing values in the smokes.cfg file.

This is what it looks like in-game.

I've been looking far and wide, but no German World War One u-boats as far as my eye can see on the horizon. So I thought I'd post this thread here, to let you all know I'm on the hunt for one

How do I join an existing MP session? When I see a list of MP sessions in the 'Start a netplay session' window and I press the 'Join an existing session' button, the sessions list becomes empty and I can't join any session. What goes wrong here and do I need certain sceneries and ships to join an M...

And so... I thought it was time for a multiplayer thread now that Virtual Sailor has returned to active development. I will be sailing online from now 09:15 CET (Central European Time) with my tanker (The ULCC Jahre Viking), in the Cape Verde scenery. Just reply here, or send me a private message if...

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

Hello all. I've been away from modeling on my ship for quite some time now... possibly over a year... Lately I got sick (a cold, corona or whatever it is...) and also my mentality has gone like a roller coaster. Hopefully one day, I'll get back to the modeling process. She's alright in my virtual sh...
