Welcome back to SimpleShips ...planes, SimplePlanes
Presenting you the new star of my (to be) classic ocean liner fleet, the RMS Oceanic.
The ship of the century (the 19th one) was built in 1899 for the White Star Line. It was the biggest and most luxurious ship of it's time with room for 1710 passengers. It struck a reef and sank in 1914
I tried to keep it simple but still managed to hit 1000 parts
Still runs surprisingly smoothly for me
Controls:
Throttle - Go towards ship's pointy end
Brake - Go towards the blunt end
Yaw - Turn
Ag1 - NavLights
Ag2 - Window lights
Credits:
MegaFox - Helm, engine telegraphs, anchor chain

@Atoka220 can you make the RMS adriatic ll?
very good, well detailed
@Atoka220 Thanks！
@soldier289 It's a smoke emitter part that comes with Gestour's SeaTraffic mod
It really does bring these ships to life
How did you do the very cool smoke trails in the last photo?
Would you please tell me how to make it?
Update: I added a link to another version with an actual rudder to test. Check it out as well and tell me if you like it (i really do)
Sweet thanks, it’s wicked good @Atoka220
Set mass scale to 0 on the largest parts, like hull and superstructure, so locomotion won't be a hard job to solve, I learnt it the hard way. My rawalpindi weighs 705 tons, accelerates slowly and has huge momentum like a real ship. This one is only nearly 15 tons and moves very lightly and while not realistic, it is fun for SP.
I use jet engines to propel the ship and gyros to turn it and add stability. And to weight it down and make sure it floats, I hide 4 fuselage blocks with max dead weight and buoyancy just inside the hull on both sides each end of the ship's widest point on the waterline. Also worth setting max buoyancy on the hull above the waterline but not below
This is how I build ships. The other are just pure cosmetics (including the propellers and turning rudder)
@Atoka220
That's alright
I couldn't find diagrams myself either. And the bow is kind of hard looking.
I might try to build my own, just eye ball it. any boat tips?
@aerodummy here is da ship
@ACEPILOT109 Seems like I won't be able to, at least for now, sorry buddy
Can't find any blueprints even after hours of looking. Also building such curved bow for modern ships are beyond my knowledge yet
this ship
from
this
its from the Alraigo incident, Id like to make a recreation, but I cant find any ships close to this one. I like yours because they are scale and look very nice, and I already have a harrier for it
Thank you guys, I hope you like it, I really find it beautiful
Also I think adding a bridge view with animated helm and telegraphs was a good idea, it really feels like I'm turning a ship like that lol
(Again, all credits go to @MegaFox for that)
@ACEPILOT109 If it's an early 20th century liner, passenger or cargo ship, then probably (considering part count and size). But old sail ships modern ships and warships are a no-no for me. I don't like them and they have too much details for my pc to handle
Also i build very slowly in my little free time and I'm lazy too lol
This ship took me 2 weeks while I built the carpathia on just a weekend lol
can I make a request for a ship?
Um yeah is that the titanic?
Ismét egy gyönyörű munka!
Nagyon jól építesz :D
Looks sick! Nice work!
