Convoy!

Post by DaveB »

Hi Chaps :)

Start with one ship and continue until your pc dies :lol:

This lot actually runs ok. It started as 15 Liberty Ships then went to 14 LS + a carrier, Belfast, 2 x Destroyers and a Corvette then the Liberty ships grew to 24 :-O Sadly.. the warships have the biggest hit on FR. A convoy of this size would have more escorts but the required extras would probably bring it to single figures :( Still.. 29 ships in total isn't bad ;)

Lots of possibilities! It's actually off the coast of Cornwall heading south ;) FS doesn't do water colour particularly well and it wouldn't be able to do around the UK successfully. On the west side.. it's more green then blue and on the east side.. it's more brown until you get further north and the water deepens. The water masks for the UK with Visual Flight/Getmapping VFR Photographic scenery were actually pretty good in FS2002 but of course.. the shipping was static. The masks didn't work in FS9 and GenX for FSX is similarly lacking unless it's in estuaries.. some estuaries. The sea colour in FSX does 'deaden off' a bit with cloud cover which is something. The sea colour there isn't default either.. it's a Rex E+O/D texture. The default colour for the UK is far too vivid ;)
