Description
The largest port in Europe Rotterdam.
Standard the harbour looks empty.
Without ships, oiltanks with windows and doors, no containers, no cranes.
Its not nice to fly VFR.
I have built the entire port from Maasvlakte to the Citycenter. 28 km!
Hunderds of storagetanks, cranes, ships are bringing the Port to life.
Only the Maasvlakte alone owns five large container terminals full of containers and vessels!
I recommend an Approach to EHRD RW 6 from the south.
You make a lovely right turn to the final over the Port.
Requires the installation of the Free Vessels Core Library.

If not, you do not see the Vessels, only the oiltanks and containers.
The Vessels are floating on the water. I can not adjust that.
It is as it is.

My advise is to combine this MOD with the Rotterdam Mods available on this website.
Enjoy.

I checked. After the update the ships are still there. Everything works fine. Check the link for the ships and see if you have the latest update there. And check the ships density in options. I can not help you further wit this. Have a nice day

This is a great improvement over the default, but I seem to have a problem I don't see in your screenshots. My ships are all on the water, not in the water. You can clearly see the bottoms of the rudders. I understand some ships would be riding higher than others, due to loading, but virtually all of the ships you've added all but float over the water. Don't know why, I don't have any other mods in the immediate area.
In any case, many thanks!

Hi Barrie, I try to keep track of what appears for the Netherlands by regularly checking Scenery -> Countries -> Netherlands, but for some reason your add-on does not appear there. Perhaps, you need to add a tag, to make it appear for others like me, who check there?

Very nice and looks great. Looking forward to the next step in this project. Maasvlakte en Botlek looks very flat in MSFS. Now its great fun to fly in this region. Thanks Barrie!!!

Hallo Barry,
Looks great. However i do not see the loading cranes beside the container ships. I see them on your pictures so i am wondering if i miss a library file or are they just missing from the present file buildup. Still a nice addon to our Dutch sceneries. Greetings Emile

Hi Emile,
I think it is a Library missing object.
Name: portcrane16
Package: Barcelona
I think this is added when the harbour of Barcelona became more detailled.
This is the risc of sharing scenery built of all kind of elements somewhere collected ;-)

Thanks Barry. It works. May i suggest to incorporate them fully in your setup. Then the community folder does not get to overloaded with scenery you do not want. Or use cranes out of this file that is already a library folder with lots of different shipcranes. look at this file "San Pedro Bay Port Facilities, Los Angeles".
Thanks again for this nice scenery. regards Emile

Good work !!
Harbour of Rotterdam
Rotterdam Harbour comes alive. Standard the harbour looks empty. Without ships, oiltanks with windows and doors, no containers, no cranes. This mod brings the harbour alive. Many storage tanks, chimneys, cranes and vessels brings the port alive. I hope you will Enjoy The Netherlands

Since the last Simupdate all ships are gone. Is it possible that this update is the cause of this? Will there be een update of this beautiful scenery?
