Marine RM = Pilotable Boats in MSFS 2020!

It’s interesting to note that Marine RM’s next product for FS 24/20 will be the Cargo Ship – a container ship with a pier, loading and unloading operations, and a functional tugboat integrated into the vessel, in addition to various liveries. Stay tuned!

Any chance it’ll be available to rent? I’m in 2024.

That looks great! I’ve been using your ships quite a lot. Any chance we could get the same autopilot laptop featured on your Titanic and Super Tanker on some of your older ships like the the RMS Carpathia, Mauretania etc.? I love those ships, but can’t really use them without autopilot, and the laptop one is your best one so far (the cruiseship autopilot isn’t as good). Last question: Are you considering making some large ferries at some point in the future (DFDS, P&O etc.)

Hi @OceanicPluto317 Thank you!! Your feedback on the cruise ship autopilot is crucial. I will be updating it to include the same features it currently has.

The RMS Carpathia and Mauretania will be updated, but before that, I’ll be working on the Cargo Ship, as it is in the final stages of development.

To answer your question: yes, I do plan to build modeled ports (with collision detection for docking) in major port cities around the world. It will be a project involving AI traffic across all the products in my portfolio. That’s something we’ll see later this year!

Hi @TheBlackWind977 I’m waiting for the 2024 SDK to mature a bit more before I start porting products to it. Right now, the SDK is very unstable, and the features aren’t fully functional yet.

Exciting stuff! Yea if you gave the same laptop autopilot as on the tanker to those ships it would be really great (I forgot the SS France which currently doesn’t have autopilot either). The modeled ports also sound like a really cool idea. I was asking about Ferries though :slight_smile: like car ferries for crossing the English channel and other seas…there are famous ferry companies like P&0, Irish Ferries, DFDS, etc. and I think these could potentially be a really nice addition as pilotable ships.

Hi @OceanicPluto317 I hope you’ll be happy to hear that the Cruise Liner 2020/2024 has been updated with a navigation system similar to the one used on the Super Tanker/Titanic. It is now possible to plan routes and long voyages with greater precision using the autopilot and an interactive map featuring a heading indicator and GPS navigation. :ferry:

As for your question—the answer is yes! I have the blueprints for a ferry, complete with an interior and a loading ramp, and I plan to animate the vehicle unloading process upon arrival at port. It should be really cool! We expect to have this ready by December of this year. :saluting_face:
