FSX 18th Century Frigate HMS Surprise
FSX Frigate HMS Surprise from the 18th century. This sailing ship is based on the former replic HMS Rose, built in 1970. For the movie “Master and commander”, regarding Patrick O’Brian’s famous novel, the boat was restorated to a historical replic of a british frigate of the 18th century. Surprise is now at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. The history of the real ship began 1794 as French sloop Unite, captured by the Brits two years later. Renamed ‘Surprise’, she served successfully until 1802. The Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has fourteen animated guns, six animated stun sails and six unanimated crewmen. Twenty four cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, the lower gun deck and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard and port separately. The model should run in Acceleration and in FS2004 but it is not tested and not completely configured for FS2004.
