    HMS Surprise

    I think your on the right track miklkit. I think people have the perception that tall ships had extremely tall rigs. I think it is due in part to the photo angle. Meaning low and from the bow or stern which give the rig the appearance of being much taller. In reality the Surprise/Rose...

    HMS Surprise

    I don't think the problem is the bowsprit but rather the size of jibboom and the doubling. The jibboom looks abit small. The bowsprit is the spar the terminates in the hull, usually near the base of the foremast. The Jibboom is the spar mounted atop the bowsprit. The Bowsprit and Jibboom...

    Game Resolution

    Mine works with 1600 x 900. But that is the native mode for my monitor. PostProcess = 1 screen_x = 1600 screen_y = 900

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    :kev I did this time. WOW!! I have tried my hand building a model ship from a kit. Years ago I started building La Toulannaise from a Corel Kit. I had wanted to build their Rattlesnake kit, but let my self get talked into La Toulannaise. Lesson learned: build something you love, you will...

    Ships Ported Over From POTC

    Thanks Peter, I will give that a try. I am not used to modding stuff. I guess I am used to having the source to explore before beginning editing. Gotten pretty spoiled being able to run the code in a debugger, that allows you trace through it. By the way do you guys use SVN (subversion)...

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    Hello Chuck, What can I say. Just WOW . . WOW. :god2 After you posted this I quickly read through the 91 forum pages about you model. WOW. :god2 I plan to go back and read them more closely. The work you put into scratch building a model is just awe inspiring! From the couple...

    Apostol Felipe from 1626

    Aye she does look sweet. Quite a view from that high poop deck. Be really cool if we can modify the source so those high sides respond to the wind like they do on the real ones. In high winds they tend to act like sails. Sails that can't be stowed that is. By the way them 'ladders' be...

    Ships Ported Over From POTC

    I have 3.1.5 installed and my console.c file is pretty anemic. Are there instructions for novice, would be modders such as myself? Thanks, Greg.

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    Sorry my bad she was built in Norwich, Connecticut and launched Nov 7 1778. Originally she was laid out as 74 but built as a 36. Likely so had she survived the Revolutionary War. Like a lot of Colonial Navy ships, she was built with unseasoned timbers and swam for only 4 years. She was...

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    Hello, Is this the Continental Frigate in the list of ships? I have been trying to figure out how to get a hold of her. To answer some of the questions. The small ports are for sweeps. From what I remember from reading Chapman's "Search for Speed under Sail", they were fairly common on...

    Cannone smoke

    Can't help you with changing the smoke. And I don't know if it is dependent on the cannon size, but there was a two gun deck ship firing at me the other evening and it looked so realistic I had to go back and loose the battle a several times just to watch it. It was not the usual pin prick of...

    Released Commander - Conquest of the Americas

    I helped Beta test this game. Better than EIC? Yes in some ways it is better, in other no change. The economic model is more developed. You have to found colonies and develop the available resources and build your own defenses. The auto trading model is much easier to use and you can define...

    Widescreen monitors...

    the one plus of the widscreen is that the women in POTC or COAS now have some meat on their bones instead of the sickly thin image that our society seems to keep proliferating. :doff

    PoTC: On Stranger Tides

    With regard to this movie, yesterday I went to the Tallship festival at Chicago's Navy Pier. I was talking to one of the Bounty crew members (while touring through the Bounty). She has a friend that works for the San Diego Maritime Museum. Her friend told the the Rose/Surprise just came back...

    Game choice

    Conquest (CotA) has quite a bit more depth than EIC but from what I have read I don't think it has the depth of Patrician IV, but I have never played the Patrician series of games. Too much thinking involved for me. :roll: I miss some of the management features of EIC. But CotAs ability to...

    McAfee Stinger detects AOP2 start.exe as trojan.

    thanks everyone. I will contact McAffee about the file. I use Trend Micro as my AV application. It did not find a problem. My pc had been acting a little strange so I downloaded the latest version of Stinger (free stand alone virus scanner). The issue occured when I ran stinger from an...

    McAfee Stinger detects AOP2 start.exe as trojan.

    Hello, I purchased AOP2:CoAS in early 2010. Recently I updated it with the Combined CoAS version 3 mod. Yesterday I ran the new version of McAffee Stinger on my PC. It identified start.exe of Age Of Pirates 2 as the Artemis!C09F547AAB2 trojan and deleted the file. Anyone else have these...

    better sail simulation

    I believe the spelling is "Lateen", meaning just the fore & aft sails such as stay sails, jibs and driver. I think the use of staysails became more prevalent in the late 1700 early 1800s as a method for square rigged ships to point closer to the wind. I do not think it was typical to set the...
