New Toy: Vehicle Simulator

Post by FlyTexas »

Purchased an early Christmas present for myself...'Vehicle Simulator'. It was created by the same guy who made 'Virtual Sailor'. This game is much improved over 'Virtual Sailor'. 'Vehicle Simulator' has features like bump-mapping and self-shadowing. Neat! Here are some screenies of an extremely nice freeware ad-on...

HMAV Bounty

Oh, pay no attention to the ropes passing magically through the sails. ;) :RN:

Isn't that the one that sank during Hurricane Sandy, drowning the girl who was a descendent of Fletcher Christian? Weird coincidence that. I expect it's haunted :worried:

Or is it the original?

I think if I'd given myself that as Christmas present I'd be having a word with myself, Brian :lol:

:lol: That "Bounty" was a replica. This is the real thing. ;) How about the African Queen. Here she is plying the placid waters of the north Atlantic. Well provisioned I might add. :party:
