FSX AI: WIP - RMS Laconia
Posted: 16 Dec 2014, 16:45
I'm taking a little break from sailing the FSX 'Norwegian Pearl' to spend some quality time with RMS Laconia. This ship began her virtual life as a generic AI 'target' in another sim game. Sometime after the game was released another modeler updated the ship to resemble the RMS Laconia. Here's a screenie of her having a rough day at sea in her previous life.
Once I saw her on a forum I knew I had to have her. I contacted the modeler and received permission to convert her for use outside of the game. What you see below is how she looks today...a mere six years after I began work on her.
A recent 'eureka moment' with ModelConverterX got me to thinking about my old love, RMS Laconia. So after a bit of 3D fiddling and plenty of blue language (which frightened the cat), she's now in the tranquil waters of FSX...a long way from her previous violent life as a target for U-boats. There's still plenty of work to do on her but I thought I'd post a pic of the lady who still holds my heart after all these years.
