The fleet is in

George..

In theory, you could leave a static in 3 Basin on top of the tile there and have either 1 or 2 further carriers alongside on the jetties facing Gosport. Last time I was in Pompey, Invince was in 3 Basin with Illustrious and Ark Royal alongside.. one opposite Victory where the static in Porthigh ties up and the other directly behind it. Rare mind you and a sign of the times. One was usually at sea on deployment, one in local waters and one in refit

Hi Gary and Merry Christmas matey

Not tried Portsmouth Highrise in FSX. Does it work with GenX?

How's the paint coming on your Invince class?? I was only thinking about this a day or so ago

Merry Christmas! Haven't touched invincible class in a while, been back in FS9 playing with the iris EAP (great model dunno why I didn't try it out ages ago!). Will probably get back to updating her soon. Also looking at this thread I've got some ideas for a scenery update for Portsmouth.

Never seen so many type 23's in dock...do we still have that many?

[DaveB]

I doubt it. Last time I was there, they were pretty new Rgr on the Invince Class

Here's a shot for George showing the Jetty locations in the RN Dockyard so if I mention one, he knows where I'm talking about The only one I'm not sure of is North Corner Jetty but I think it's right. It's either there or off the LH side of Fountain Lake
No.1 Basin hasn't been used properly for years and was left pretty much tidal.. a few plastic minehunters in there as shown in his latest screenshot (good guess George). No.2 Basin likewise but non-tidal (generally.. it's tidal in that shot). No.3 Basin is a long term resting place and non-tidal. Main access to the dry docks so a ship would move from tidal to 3 basin and from 3 basin into DD (unless it was one of the bigger DD's closest to the harbour). Out of DD to 3 basin and from 3 basin to the harbour when ready. Rumour has it there's a train in the bottom of 3 basin.. blown there by a German bomb in WWII. Dunno how true it is though.

So.. Fountain Lake.. Destroyers and Frigates, North Corner - the same, Middle Slip to Pitch House - Frigates/Destroyers/Cruisers/Carriers and finally, South Railway.. Destroyers/Frigates


EDIT: On reflection, I think the unlisted jetty to the NW of Fountain Lake is or was North West Wall
