    Hello Captains, Here is a Work in Progress of the next harbor for Across the Seas, the port of Rostock. This scenery has a size of around 60 square km and the port of Gedser is also included. Marko

    Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Finnstar. Currently I have no plans to release the Finnstar for VSF. She will be integrated in my own sim "Across the Seas". Marko

    Hi Captains, For all who want to test Across the Seas - Unity3d based Ship Simulation, I have decided to release a alpha version. So I can get more feedback about the sim and especially about the performance. I will update this version during the development. Currently I have implemented the Dover Calais area. Most things in Calais are done and Dover is currently under development. Cape Town is in as a preview and also the shipyard scene. For the watercraft's, not all have currently a bridge interior or working instruments. Also features like the anchoring or mooring systems are not final and also in active development. And an important thing is are the physics, I changed a lot things here in the last weeks. So be aware of some strange behavior , I need to adjust the physics for the different watercraft's. Feel free to post shots of the sim or give feedback or suggestions here. Across the Seas - Alpha What is possible or not Test sails in Dover / Calais area Cape Town and a virtual shipyard is implemented as a preview Weather and Time of Day is ready No AI traffic or multiplayer No missions or career mode Minimap system needs a bit more details Mooring and anchoring are not ready Know Issues Watercraft physics need more adjustments Strange physics in some cases of higher sea states Not all watercraft's have interiors at the moment Not all watercraft's have lights Shallow water areas need a bit more work Harbor areas do not have colliders at the moment Mooring physics are not ready New FPS mode is currently in internal testing phase Download link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiiALzvCn_FFiZ09fMR6S0FgTHAwGg?e=BkbURZ Regards Marko

    Performance is not that bad. Calais with surrounded ~70k buildings and a high visibility and around 90-100 fps on my notebook setup. Shallow waters also implemented for harbor areas. No more high waves in harbors. Early morning in Calais. Random shots.

    Thinking about to switch to Unity's HD Renderpipeline. ?

    You're welcome.

    Hi and Welcome here at VTA, you can take a look at Roberts website. The scenery should be available there. https://robsvsfaddons.weebly.com/ Regards Marko

    Here is the newest vessel for the fleet of Across the Seas. The Global Emerald an medium sized AHTS vessel. Marko

    Small break from scenery works. Need to test the new Post Processing effects. I think the color saturation looks better now, the same for the reflections on the water surface. Marko

    Rain effect is back working. Also removed rain inside the watercraft interior and added a basic rain effect to the windows. Looks good so far and performance is also great. I found and removed also the annoying performance bug. So only point on the to-do list is to get both sceneries (Dover / Calais & Cape Town) a little bit more done for the alpha release. Marko

    Hi Captains, Some shots from the sim. The new weather looks perfect and more natural. Also the new volume lighting looks great. Only two major showstoppers are left, before the public alpha version goes live. An anoying performance bug and I need to integrate the new Dover Port for the Dover - Calais scenery. Regards Marko

    Here is a nice Across the Seas teaser for the upcoming alpha version. The teaser is created by TheFreaks.

    Thank you, I plan to release the public alpha during the last quarter of this year.

    Hi Captains, The thrusters are now implemented in the sim. So, you can now safely mooring the ship. Sry for the untextured scenery objects. It's the Dover/Calais scenery and it's Work in Progress. The new minimap system is also done. I removed the realtime map. The system is now a picture based minimap system. So it allows me, to paint the minimap to create an look like a real nautical chart. And it gives also an performance boost of 15fps .

    Hi All, Across the Seas is also shown in the newest Simul's (the creators of trueSKY) Blog Post. You can take a look here:

    Hi Captains, We have now also an Discord Channel. So you can follow our project and mainly the development of Across the Seas at Discord. Regards Marko

    Across the Seas anchor physics test. A few things need to be tweaked like the anchor mass or the colliders for the anchor. But so far, it works and looks good.

    Across the Seas, now with a new water engine and better weather effects.
