Over the past few weeks I have spent some time in the evenings updating the visual model of F421, adding a virtual cockpit, hand rails and even a crew. The most exciting part of the upgrade has been the addition of animated parts, some simple, like spinning radar scanners and the flapping ensign, some a little more complex like the ‘lowering of the ships boat’….
Now, with the push of a button the ‘Captains Gig’ lowers to the surface, then disappears so that I can deploy my own copy of the ships’ boat… more of that Nautical Madness!
Boat Secure Aboard Davits Swing Out Boat Lowered to the Surface …And away! Empty Davits Stowed
Many more animations have been added but more on those later, along with a rundown on the other improvements around the ship.
