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 this model.

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

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]

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]

I have been working on it. However some major real world issues have prevented me from finishing. The water main has broken below my foundation (slab) in my house. I have no water and we have been digging under my foundation. This has been consuming all of my time for the last week. Sorry. This has been very destructive. It has flooded the…[Read more]

Hi Jeffrey, I’ve been back a couple days but got real sick after the trip – so have mostly been in bed. Saw you tried to call me. You are doing incredible things my friend! I have been writing a ton of new stuff and will be updating everything on the site the next couple days with new stories, articles and discoveries.

Call anytime tomorrow and…[Read more]

Funny but no surprise. There are places down here with no modern services of any kind at all! Kind of cool.

AWESOME!!! on the code. Now if we could just get pennants working as well. I think we would need to import and enable a new DLL from POTEHO or POTC to get that going.

With the ship and personal attributes you mentioned it will be possible…[Read more]

I saw you tried to call me yesterday Jeffrey. My phone is on this crazy international plan while I’m in the Caribbean and it doesn’t work a lot of the time. Plus I was snorkling along a coral reef right below the Pitons in Saint Lucia when you called… no joke. Spectacular!!!

I still have another week left in the Caribbean before I can look at…[Read more]

Excellent news on the leaks Jeffrey. Very interesting on the memory block allocation and fascinating on how the sound calls behave. You are really cleaning house my friend. Can’t wait to contribute my own newest work to the project.

Awesome work as usual. I will download your newest version when I return from the Caribbean.

You are truly awesome Jeffrey. The game just keeps playing better and better all the time.

Indeed it is great news. Unfortunately for me my external has died and most of my stuff was on it. SO I am going to have it recovered. I have 3 ships that were outside the external that I have managed to find again that were loaded other places. I will have to get a new mega account because I have lost the password/key for the old one. The data I…[Read more]
