I think it used to be on the Earth Simulations site, but if anyone would like it, send me a PM with your email address. Note. It's 3MB.
Thanks George. Realised that* when I saw a photo of the real one. I see that in the meanwhile, you've put the neccessaries on your site. :excited:
Many thanks, "Sark Venture" produced zero on the ES site, so I was going to ask you. Ben's created quite a flurry, hasn't he?

Cheers George.. got that ;) I'm not on the right pc (had a pwr failure due to adverse wx this morning and I don't want to switch it on again until I'm happy the worst has gone!) but I can shift it over on the network later :thumbsup:

Ah.. the MV Ben Watson. Now that brings back memories :lol: I had a look on FSShipyards yesterday and there's a surprising lack of FSX shipping unless you're into American battle cruisers e t c. Talking of which (but not quite).. found a Leander Class Frigate and Tiger Class Cruiser at Allnodes (DLG there too) which might be useful. They look like they came from another life/sim mind you *-)

Note the traffic file was made to fit the ES Guernsey/Sark tectures, it may not work with the defaults.

Since I have limited web space I would be grateful if you could say when you have downloaded it.

Thanks.
Done shipmate. "ALLLLL ABOOOARRRD!" :thumbsup: Or should that be "ALL ASHORE THAT'S GOING ASHORE!"

And Mr Narwhal....(yes, you, the blue one)
Thanks for the info on the repaints. You also asked:
I once saw here a three sisters project. Is this finished yet?
This was actually over at Flying Stations. As of November, they were still in progress, looking good, but some tech hitches.

Dont think I have that one Dave, thast looks like more of a freight ship, whereas the other one Rick sent me in similar colours was a more conventional passenger RORO.

Has anyone seen any of the old "Free Enterprise" style ferries for FS? *-)

You're right Ben. I've just had a look at the texture and it IS a more conventional ferry. That said.. I'm sure I've seen that one George posted before crossing the channel or even from Liverpool. Can't find the darned thing though! 8)
