Orazio, Actually I wasn’t referring to the model as being named the Madrid. I was referring to it as the Madrid model. This is because the later plans that have been extracted from that model by naval architects and artists serve as the basis for the later Landtrom (your) model.

I have never seen the model in person only in diagrams and photos.…[Read more]

Thanks Ram. I’ve spent the last two days putting new stuff up on the site. It will all be visible to everyone as soon as I get everything just right. Happy NEW YEAR!

@ Schiavonna,

The Hans Sloane model does need a retouch. That is Hugh Laurie – House. It was one of my first celebrity face graft attempts. I’ve gotten much better at building…[Read more]

WoW that sucks! When I was a young guy in college my first apartment was in the basement of an old house built in the 1890s. My wife, myself and my young baby boy went through all kinds of drama in that place. Not only were there plumbing problems, but the damn place was teaming with spiders that were living in the boiler room for heat and coming…[Read more]

Wow! This is great that people are commenting on the off topic forum!

So two things up front.

1) On this forum there is no such thing as a necro posts or any kind of bad juju associated with commenting on an old post as in so many other forums. Useless etiquette interferes with honest communication IMO.

2) I HATE political correctness! It is…[Read more]

Orazio Mate, I am going to go out on a limb here and tell you that I am having a somewhat dramatic emotional response looking at your model. It nearly brings tears to my eyes and I am not kidding when I say that.

Lets take the “way-back machine” back to 1972(3). My father was a musician and I got dragged across the country as a small child. Much…[Read more]

I’ve heard of this one before but I can’t remember how it was solved. This is obviously some kind of glitch with DRM that is soaking through. My guess is that this is TAGES protection trying to interfere with the DVM file that we have in the mod that allows us to play with no disk.

I looked up X3 Terran conflict and sure enough it uses TAGES as…[Read more]

When we get the new version completed (soon). We will hang it on several different services. We will also offer a version that is broken up into pieces that you will reassemble once you have all the downloads.

(EDIT) in the past some people have reported that they have been able to download the mod in less than two hours…. one individual…[Read more]

351 Dollars is a hefty cost. If you are interested, I could ask my stepfather if theres place to host this site on one of our servers. We would need to port the stuff over but I think it could work out without much problems and ALOT cheaper than what you are currently paying. You would get the rights to administer it and make a 1:1 copy of the…[Read more]

Sorry Gents on the ETA for the new patch. If anything my personal problems have got even worse than before. I am hoping to have time over the holidays to get everything finished and over to Jeffrey for a new full complete version of the mod.

Several new ships are in the works. I just saw the pics of Orazio’s new galleon. All I can saw is WOW!!!!…[Read more]

Hey guys, Sorry long time no show, but really couldn’t be helped. I went from an incredible long vacation all over the Caribbean to disaster when I returned home. Pipes had broken under my foundation and caused major damage. Then my sons car died and I replaced the entire fuel system (myself at home) then floods and now the frosting on the cake -…[Read more]

well we both work in the IT industry, as you know, working overtime is at some point mandatory in that business. But I am also going at the same time to a private university even though I have a full time job with up to 12-13 hours a day of work. But since Im going for a master in IT administration I have to get used to not actually…[Read more]

Looking GOOD!!!! Is the polygon count still moderate? Seeing as this looks so nicely polished.

WoW, just WoW!

Im having some issues though In my game with the boardings, with the new interiors the waypoints are inverted so you spawn below deck and the npcs cant fight eachother. I will upload a pic soon to display this. maybe Theres already a…[Read more]

Going back into the game to cure a bit of a depression right now. Maybe the swashbuckling will wash away sorrows and help me set up onto the desired path again.
Looking forward to seeing MK again, didnt hear from him in a while. All i know is that hes busy travelling and has only limited connection. Maybe he already cooked up a treat for us, who…[Read more]

Didnt see Orazio in a while. Expect him and many others to join here and check back in around Dezember. Maybe MK will hand us a treat like the last time :3

Welcome Aboard Schiavonna!

Your insights are much appreciated. I have tried to fix the sail away problem for years. I too would love for there to be an intelligent solution. My thoughts are very simple. If wind direction is X, THEN sail with that wind direction directly behind to allow the quickest escape. If land is in front of you, THEN sail…[Read more]
