Your welcome http://s24.postimg.org/c148rgoj5/thumbsup_1.gif

Hi all !!

During this summer, I've worked a lot on my problems with the misplaced guns on the flying dutchman. Finally, after many nighters, I've managed to solve my primary problem, and more, I've added as many guns that has a true 74' ship ! :smug: For the historical background, this type of ship was created by the french engineers around the 1740s. At the time, it was a huge technical advance, insomuch that the english royal navy was absolutely outdated !

So, the ship you have before you should not be called "Flying Dutchman", but rather "L'Invincible", "Le Terrible" or "L'Intrépide"... :arrgh!:

To achieve this result, I took my first idea :
I have created 3 guns' models in separate files (Guns-Dutch.dat and Guns-Dutch.sim) placed in the Library. In NFD.dat, I've replaced the nodes "Flying_Dutchman_can01" with "cfg#M01_NFD" nodes. And in NFD.eqp, I've specified all the nods which have to be connected to the new Guns-Dutch.dat file ! The result is simply amazing !! Have you ever seen 37 guns shooting at the same time ? ....

An original plan :

"L'Invincible" along with my Nautilus :

L'invincible is firing against a battleship :

I've reached my challenge ! Cheers, my friends ! :woot: :()1:
:salute:

Your 'third rate' is first rate!

Thank you Aktungbby ! :yep: It appears to me that you are the most versed in history on this forum, don't you ? I've read your topic "This date in history" : very interesting !

FD is indeed an easter egg and has been shown in details in here in great depth so a search is needed.

I see this vessel every time I patrol the Luzon Straits

Nah! everyone at :subsim: is DE-facto-a history jock(of lost causes?) and a lot of newbys even say so on their initial greeting; Several have advanced multiple degrees and do it for a living. My whole point in the History thread is to provide a ripple point for events in history, however trite, that put each us where we are today. For example my dad flew B-29's in the Pacific WWII with a navigation device Amelia Earhart wished she'd had...and then he met my mom...Voila! That's what makes it fun- we are all our own little DNA comets passing through time and space-Edgar Cayce notwithstanding:hmmm: Sailor Steve drove one of the cars mentioned in the thread and Armistead is a Son of the Confederacy (another lost cause) And were all at :subsim: because of the CSS Hunley! and a few CSS Davids:haha: "The winners write history"...the losers acquire perspective!:03:

Ghosts are among us, they haunt the ocean during stormy nights ! ... :yep:

Here another pics of my work :

Hello everybody.

I've decided to share my work on the Flying Dutchman. The first post has been updated.

F.

@ Fahnenbohn : Thank you mate for this funny mod, AWESOME JOB !

:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
Edit : Personnaly, I would prefer .... a black ghost ! And why not a pirate flag ? :arrgh!:

Its not amod. Its an 'easter egg' - the flying dutchman can be found in the Luzon Straits, N of Phillipines. If you see in your radar of map a warship going 'very fast' or 'fast thats it. watched a jap destroyer attacking it!
