Jack Sawyer Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Took Larry's fabulous new boat for a trip around Pelican Bay's harbor, very nice Larry! Thanks man, I love this thing. Now you guys know me, how could I resist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_R Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 That last one is just too much Jack! Odd that the running lights are on during what appears to be the day. I just checked the .mdl file; the attached lights should only be on dawn, dusk and at night. Have you figured out a way to turn them on and off? (I suppose I could put the lights in the aircraft.cfg so the skipper can control them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up on the ocean in Boston and if I remember correctly we had to have all our lights on all the time or we'd get a ticket from the Coast Guard. Is it different in the PNW?

Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 By the way Larry, this is a real piece of art you've created. This boat is very detailed and man, the sounds are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it. You're right, with Iain's settings and Larry's cool little boat you can't go wrong! And it's free to boot. I just had to do it as I couldn't get it inverted!

I even slewed it way up and then tried to "fly" it because I wanted an inverted shot but it's too stable as a boat. It has the aerodynamic capabilities of a B-52, sans engines. But it sure floats and gets around really well, I love this thing! 6 hours ago, Iain Emms said: Fine set these. cheers Iain Thanks Iain! 4 hours ago, Neptune6 said: HAHAHAAAaaaa lovely topic with a lot of humour ! do you try a take off ? just one kind, the name on the boat ? Patrick Thanks Patrick, I did try to take off but it just sat there with the engine running full speed. I guess it's a good thing as it is a boat and a fine one it is too. 1 hour ago, Taph said: Mellow yellow ran out of paint Taph, this is sweet, I'll take one! Unfortunately where I live the nearest ocean is more than a hundred miles away. Nice yellow though, I love it! 48 minutes ago, Neptune6 said: Take care fresh painting Patrick Did Taph use latex or oil? Is it barnacle safe?

Stillwater Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Great shots, even the first one caught me. But then comes a fantastic way to show sea scenery. Re the last shot: Have a good flight, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the last shot: Have a good flight, mate. Thanks Gerold! Larry's work is terrific isn't it? As for flying this, well, I'd need some pretty big engines and some wings. But if a GeeBee can fly, anything can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Tugboat Annie sails again! Thanks Jack and all the other commenters. I am laughing too much to type. I was fully expecting to see it doing a barrel roll after the shot on the runway. WHat in interesting boat though, well shown off Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, if I could have I would have. After I slewed it up to 3000 feet and let it go, it just tumbled to the ground, I would have snapped one if it was inverted but it never did it. But enough of my silliness, it's a wonderful boat, I look forward to a trip around Catalina in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's comments all add up to a great deal of fun here. I really love it when we all have a good laugh. Larry's little Angelfish is terrific piece of work. I don't know of any other scenery developer giving us a boat with their scenery so this is a cool little gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
