Were they using Aircraft Carriers in WWI?

The whole military thing is not something I'm hugely into, but as always your ship models are particularly impressive. Don't suppose you've ever thought of creating some modern-ish ships that transport things like containers, oil/gas and similar stuff?

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

I was only joking *:rofl:*:thumb:

Yeah, I have about 60 ships between oil tankers, bargues, cargo ships, etc. Maybe it's time to export some. *:P

Hey Davide, these are really cool! Did I miss them on the exchange? Perhaps do they overhang the lot?

Really excited to use them in my game!

This shot really reminds me of elements of Weehawken, Guttenberg NJ. Which I'm recreating!

What are these fun shaped towers (center)? Also the swell front rowhouses lower right?? I need them all, thanks!

Uncanny. Really cool to see.

What was your inspiration for the area?

A few handfuls, mostly for recon, small coastal sorties and delivery to needed battlefields. Aircraft of that era had very limited range(think flying pick-up trucks) so AC's weren't crucial in what was basically a European war. Between wars, plane technology vastly improved(especially in Japan) and AC's became devastating tools in Pacific warfare. Unfortunately, American technology was way behind the times, and got caught with their pants down in Pearl Harbor. That would never happen again.

Coming soon:

Modern ships would really be great! @Barroco Hispano Come to think of it, you don't happen to have any really modern ships in your collection, do you? Something along the lines of this:

During WW I most planes were bi-planes (Sopwith Camel), with the occasional tri-plane (Fokker), and single-wing aircraft were largely experimental and came into limited service toward the end of the war. 

Naval aircraft and naval "air operations" were strictly "making-it-up-as-you-went-along" affairs.  The Brits converted almost any useless ship hull into something that could carry aircraft to sea -- and some could even launch small bi-planes for short-range raids (landing on a flight deck was still in the future).  Mostly, they used tenders that hoisted seaplanes over the side, took off from water, landed on water, and were hoisted back aboard ship IF they survived the landing.

But the Germans built a large, very sturdy Gotha bomber used to raid London -- sort of the "B-52" of it's day. 

Mankind has always excelled in the art of inventing ways to kill their fellow man. *:party:

BTW -- American technology was excellent -- but the "Battleship Admirals" were ascendant in the US Navy and squashed any serious attempts by naval aviators to supplant the "big gun battle line".  The Japanese Navy -- being something of an underdog -- were more than willing to develop battleship-killing technology.  Which they did with considerable skill.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

Thanks! *:thumb: The fun shaped towers are from the HKBAT range, plenty of great towers in that series. The rowhouses I think are Sim Goobers. 

 

My city is a mixture of American, European, Asian and even Martian influences. I can't say I recreating any specific neighbours from Earth, just developing my own, hopefully recognisable style.

A pretty conspicuous corner building for a large urban intersection. 940 Southern Blvd, Bronx NYC

940-southern-blvd.jpg.c6f3c5ee795605ff0f234fd2e911a904.jpg

This one will have pretty severe clipping issues.

Perhaps someone who knows how to alter the shape of LODs may be able to help out. It's a massive prop set on a 2x2 lot. So I'd be converting the square to an L shape. But I'm not sure how to alter LODs, and til then it will sit in my junk drawer until I can figure it out. However IRL there's just woods behind it anyway!

Hope to get it out one day.

Wow look at that texturing!

Unfortunately I don't have this type of ships, the closest thing I have are sail yachts. :(
