Clem Wu 1 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Because the main purpose of flight simulation is to pilot hovercrafts and captain boats! Enjoy this set! A break from my usual sets of 'aviation' shots. Using CIRP and RTMM scenery for PFJ from Return to Misty Moorings. Ready for departure! Turnin' round. Finally on our way. These two don't seem to interested in me! At our destination! Woo! Along the wharf. Powering on our 'fan' (With Accu-Feel 2.0 ALS, this was one heck of an immersive experience - bouncing along the waves, water sounds etc.) Awesome boat! Lovely resort house! DOLPHINS! TURN! That's the end folks, hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for viewing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nicely done, That Hama hovercraft always seems to come with the japanese tourists! Maybe she's modeled on Mitsuya Hamaguchis wife! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,210 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice shots Clem. I have piloted a hovercraft before and it is a hoot. Haven't done that in awhile but should revisit it with AccuFeel. Great idea thanks. It's a shame the air boat is no longer available for download anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I too have that hovercraft, I just wish the modeller had given it the massive spray effects that follow these things everywhere, Having travelled on the cross channel SRN-4s a few times and the Isle of White service dozens more, I've seen first hand the spray they kick up. I often sit on Southsea beach watching the IOW craft come ashore, they are an awesome sight. The SRN-4s though are simply fantastic, When they powered up those huge RR Proteus Turboprops they made one hell of a noise! Sadly the last two are in the Hovercraft Museum at Lee-on-Solent. They rarely fly these days though. Indeed I think one of them is now no longer airworthy. I'm just glad I was around when they were in service. for those of you that have never seen one of these monsters! feast your ears on that fabulous sound! Awesome!! If you want to see these things up close ! http://www.hovercraft-museum.org/index.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,210 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 That sure is loud and I like the fire balls that shoot out the exhausts when starting up the props. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clem Wu 1 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks gents! Really nice to have a change of 'flying'. Nice shots Clem. I have piloted a hovercraft before and it is a hoot. Haven't done that in awhile but should revisit it with AccuFeel. Great idea thanks. It's a shame the air boat is no longer available for download anymore. You're in luck mate! I found this boat at Return to Misty Moorings, and if you scroll to the bottom of the Boating page (http://return.mistymoorings.com/moorings/), you'll find it available for download!

I could add a spray effect into the aircraft.cfg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Caveman 0 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The direct download link just worked for me Brett (thanks Clem) maybe it was just down for maintenance as the site is up now? Glen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,210 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sorry Glen, I was talking about the orginal site where it was uploaded, I would guess back in '09. I think the guy made another one too called Buddy....something, I forget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
