Hi friends and fellow Steemians..
With the recent post by @virtualgrowth about a virtual Steemfest I decided to show you what I have been working on in Second Life... See here for Steemland Post.
Presenting the Bandit 570B Steemit Style
The Bandit 570 has it all, full walkable physics, fully furnished cabin, loads of details and animated parts, and no hidden agenda or small print, no clumsy "rez this part, then wear an other and loose it all on the first sim crossing", no "you can sail an empty shell but the cabin is a separate high land impact part you can only rez when moored" its all there and made in just 32 pe. This means you can keep the boat at any cheap mooring, and don't have to check the land tool to see if you can even rez your boat in the prim limit. The Bandit 570 really is hassle free.
Powered by the lean, low lag, but highly realistic BOSS Dynamic boat engine this boat has great handling, not just on open water, but also in those tight harbors and canals you'd be exploring. Sim crossings are trouble free, and its topped off with realistic effects like a dynamic wake, rocking motion on the waves, cooling water coming from the exhausts, and original engine and nautical sounds. Don't be fooled by people passing off slightly modified car engines as "realistic" in their boats, they simply are not, so you wont find gears, burnouts, skidding and fly mode here. The BOSS engine has been developed solely as an engine for powerboats, much like the BWind is for sailboats, and really takes boating to the next level. Its without a doubt the most advanced powerboat engine available today. Source: Analyse Dean
Credits for this boat go to:
- Kain "Dutch" Xenobuilder (The Mesh Shop) for scripting his phenomenal BOSS engine into this boat, honoring all my ridiculous requests, letting me use his world famous anti slip for the deck, and starting over three times because i decided to make some changes after he was well underway doing all this. In short, this boat would never have come into existence without his extraordinary skills and patience with me.
