HARBOUR TUGBOATS
Midgard, Asgard, Thor, and Odin
Having placed the steam paddle tug into the game, we realized they were not “advanced technology”. They were, for example, too small and would have lacked the horsepower to deal with warships as they grew larger and heavier. The “Harbour Tugs” are one step toward more modern tugboats that were constantly being developed to meet ever-increasing needs. The new tugs were designed with better wheelhouse arrangements, better navigational equipment, heavier winch and towing capacity, and coal-fired steam engines developing higher horsepower. The Midgard Class tugs represent a first step toward more modern boats – more streamlined hulls with larger engines to handle bigger warships. These small tugs could be found performing almost any sort of duty in the harbour – nudging merchant ships into their berths, towing one or more barges or lighters, and towing or attending crane barges and work boats. They would be capable of doing jobs within the harbour or nearby coastal waters, but would not be suitable for seagoing duties.
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_
As per request from the community, I have also included a version of the ship without historic flags and crew.
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!
