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.

Thats smashing, hope I'm not being cheeky, but I was thinking of the older Sealink colours... :worried:

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)

There is also a Sea France texture.
