Some Models for Virtual Sailor & Micro Flight:
 |
Philip
Bolger's Superbrick was
listed as
a prototype in the 1992 Common Sense Design catalog. Basically, it's a
19' 6" sailing houseboat... and probably the only such concept put
forth
by any designer. But the idea makes sense in many ways... and you will
think of more when you sail this boat in VS. Complete with Brick dinghy
(when anchored).

AS-29:
Also by Mr.Bolger, this boat has been built by many happy owners. I
believe Phil originally conceived of it as a solo Atlantic racer. I
understand it is very roomy, fast, and economical to build. I think it
is a very beautiful boat, too. My model has working nav lights, moving prop, sails, tiller and rudder. For use in Virtual Sailor, of course. AS-29 zip file, 228 KB |

Gee
Bee R1: Designed by the Granville
Brothers Aircraft Co, with Howell W. Miller as Chief Engineer. The
plane was designed specifically for the Thompson Trophy Race at the
1932 Cleveland Air Races. The similar R2 was built for the Bendix
Trophy race at Cleveland the same year. On September 5th, 1932, the famous Jimmy Doolittle piloted the R1 to win the Thompson Trophy with an average 252.686 MPH. Download gbr1.exe, 438K |

The giant squid is meant to be
part of the
ongoing project scenery "Vulcania". Download the Nautilus from Virtual
Sailor, and load the squid. Creepy.

Here is a special little craft for
the Chum
Bucket... a sailing bathtub. The Bathtub has a shower curtain sail, a
toilet
lid rudder, and even a bar of soap. Perfect for an online regatta. Keep
the wind under 20, and the waves under 3 feet, though! Comes with
deck.cfg.

The Triton is loosely based on a
real submarine
built by US Subs. It is a very low poly (1320 faces) model, to make
multiple
on-line exploration a possibility. The Triton comes with a complete
panel,
including a working depth gauge.
Be sure to read the included readme for proper installation. Download triton.zip, 74KB. |

This file is based on the
Australia model
by Matthew Sebring. It has been optimised heavily, and when put in the
folder of any Australia-based boat, will allow many online competitors
without undue drag on resources. Only 2,600 faces. With instructions
and
explaination.

The Chesapeake- My favorite
scenery for
VS. The area around Annapolis includes the Severn River, an
authentically
modeled classic area lighthouse, bridges, docks... and accurately
placed
bouys. By Keith Kile (kkyle@loudoun.com)
