Re: ULCC Seawise Giant (the work continues... for Virtual Sailor NG)

Please stay afloat TheLonesomeSkipper.

While still in progress, ULCC Seawise Giant already became an integral part of the hangsim family environment.
The process of creating this magnificent giant is fascinating. And it is really feat to achieve it single-handedly.

Re: Help with animations

I still use 3.5 version 2005 and found it quite enough and convenient for animation. Deep Exploration 6.5 (or 5.7) is more powerful of course.
As for the file format, DE supports .3ds and many other formats, so you can export your model to one of them.

Re: Missing elements from Sketchup model when converted to X file

Your radars are supposed to have their pivot points at the origin. They are not missing, but walk in a big circle.
If I'm right, assign pivot points and radars must appear. This mistake is typical.

Re: Water impact after creating a new situation.

It is normal. Your vehicle is placed to the camera position and then goes down few seconds to impact.
To ensure, you can change to chase view [F2] just after loading.
To place vehicle to the water level select [On Ground] flag.

That is more evident with big objects. I have face the issue in VSF with surface objects. The visibility depends on the direction you look from.
