Here's another one to guess, from the same country as the the other unknown

Those looke awesome Bruce.. nice to see other boat people in here

**bruce448** · August 24th, 2013, 14:13

Thanks Pam.

I lied another WIP

Hmmm, makes me wonder where my friend got the models he sent me now since I have the same Hamina class missile boat and the Iver Huitfeldt class frigate as well as some other ship models (a Steregushchiy class corvette, and an Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate) as scenery objects and was thinking of making them AI and drivable also in my new scenery. Nice, saves me the time now though.

Is the RHIB part of the model or separate?

Separate, I have it as a drivable one and made it an animated scenery object that can be placed around most ships depending on size. I wanted a little extra when coming in for a landing.

The first almost looks Norwegian

::LOL:: I like those lies..

.. Looking good so far.. Been working myself but will post it in another thread.. BTW, Seeing the two missile boats, have you considered a modern Bundesmarine variant?? Schnellboots rock no matter which era they come from

They all look awesome......... but I'm a WW2 buff. Have started scratching my head on how to build an LST. I've never done anything beyond a little LCM so far. Wish I could keep up with you guys and gals !

Yeah, some similarities with the new Norwegian KNM Fridtjof Nansen class frigates, albeit the Norwegian ships has a much bigger Aegis radar mast and a lower superstructure.

Great looking ships!

**lazarus** · August 25th, 2013, 09:33

Looking good. Damn good. This is great! when I started into the ships project 2 years back , there were what, 7 carriers, 2 cruisers, a Fletcher or 2, some liberty ships, 2 New Jersey's, the Soviet ship pack and a U-boat...
Now look at the picture, and more ships coming every day! This is great. For my self, FSX would not have nearly the appeal with out the naval/ combined operations aspect.
Love the Finnish Corvette. Back in the U/L que (no screens, have to get those latter. part of the holdup is finding time to fire up the sim and collect the screencaps.) are a Skjold, Pansio, Pajomha, Nanuchka, OSA I and II, and a number of other "Baltic combatants'. The FSX Navy's are looking pretty good! Another chap at CBFS was working up a very nice looking Portsmouth with traffic files, spotted a few of my ships on the go in that, hope it gets released. Victorious must be getting close(Hi Skippy).
The naval future is looking very bright indeed.

Say what you want, but I think that stealthy design is the best thing to come upon warships in a long time. Smoother surfaces, way less deck clutter...dead sexy!

She is, we're making a half a***d attempt to release her at/around the same time as the Bucc S2, this may or may not work!

Incidentally if you'd like more realistic AI traffic search for 'Henrik Nielsen' at Avsim or Simviation, he's done a load of new commercial shipping models along with various routes for them.

This is what she looks like so far... Lots to be done on the textures yet...Just need to sort out a few issues with my development PC so we can get the S2 and Vic out!
