WIP KrisWood's Lyon Hoy small trader, 8 guns

[KrisWood]

This was one of the main resources I used for my rigging. The other was a late 17th century or early 18th century model of a dutch sloop that I don't remember now.

It will take a Modeler to improve the Hoy any more. I can go no farther with it.

The continuation of this thread is to ask help in getting the proper sailing characteristics for this ship. My 1st attempt had this ship unable to sail into the wind at all. It made the Carrack look good! The 2nd attempt had her sailing into the wind almost as good as sailing with the wind. I'm getting close now. These pics show her going as deep into the wind as she can without the sails "luffing", about where her best point of sail is, and the rig. Is this ok for this sail layout?

Because of the hull form, I would expect a vessel like that to be able to make between five and six points off the wind. (pointed about 55-66 degrees away from the wind, close-hulled.)

 

[Hylie Pistof]

So that is more or less it then since she is a little over 60 degrees off the wind, unless I have it backwards. This ship does not like a direct tailwind and slows down considerably.

 

[Post Captain]

That would make sense for the rig.

I like this very ship. It is a very good work.
When the test error messages came with me to crash led the game.
Then that's still not noticed.

Here are some designs made of wood and old .....

Wow, your wood-work is absolutely great! Makes those ships look much more real!

 

[Luke159]

Very nice, some ships have light wood textures in GOF 2 and it makes the ships look new and unrealistic. It would be awesome to see ships using a much more realistic wood texture.

 

[Jan Marten]

We can talk about. I'm currently on sardines. This will take some time here.

 

[Post Captain]

Note that at least the deck texture should be light wood. No time to explain why now, have to leave at the moment.

 

[Jan Marten]

That is correct. The deck still gets light wood. The ship is not ready yet. I must say, that I saw a good deck Texture in any ship.
