About This File
NAVIGATION AIDS
“Navigational Aids” – the maritime variety – are devices, signals, or markers designed to assist a ship in navigating either long distances, congested harbours or rivers, or to avoid dangerous shoals or hazardous objects in the water. The most commonly used devices are lighthouses, a variety of channel buoys, fog signals (bells or sirens), and day beacons – or leading lights / range lights. In one form or another, these devices have been in use for several millennia – certainly since the first man sailed out of sight of land and wished he’d left a fire burning ashore. Among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus Of Rhodes (280 BC) was said to have carried a flaming torch aloft – the first navigational aid – a lighthouse. While that “fabled tale” is doubtful, the Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria – another Wonder of the Ancient World – was built about the same time (284 BC) and most certainly functioned as a lighthouse for several centuries. To increase the level of authenticity in your SC4 rivers and harbours, we have included: red and green channel marker buoys, small brick lighthouses from the 1880’s used to mark harbour entrances, a more modern iron-framed version, and the much more modern “leading lights” that have been in common use since the 1940’s. We also have a variety of “mooring devices” for your ships.
How to use
This pack contains .SC4model-files and props as .SC4desc-files. So, by installing this pack nothing will directly appear in your game. You can use the props on your own lots or convert the SC4models into buildings, as you please. Since most props are to be used on water lots and props naturally align with the surface level, they will sink to the sea floor, if you do not stick to the guidelines on how to use props on water lots. Finally you will need to follow the instructions on how to make a lot transparent.
You will find the props in any Lot-Editor under the prefix A_1P_h_
Please visit @Dreadnought's CJ to get detailed descriptions and the historical backgrounds to these prop packs. You will see a wonderful display of the results of our long collaboration there and can get a preview of what might be hidden in the coming prop packs or simply get some inspiration for your own harbour!
