FSX – 19th Century Brig Of War USS Niagara

FSX – 19th Century Brig Of War USS Niagara. The boat was the flaghip for Oliver Hazard Perry during the US War of 1812 and fought in the battle of lake Erie 1814. The ship sunk twice, but not in battle: 1820, then it was raised and sunk again in 1836 and was raised again in 1913. Then Niagara served as historical monument and was displayed on land until the hull went rotten. A reconstruction was buildt in 1988 and the ship is under sail again since 1990. The pilotable Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has thirteen animated guns and one animated boat at the stern. Twenty cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, extra external views and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard or to port and aft seperatly. An ai-model to be used with the great tool Aicarriers2 or for ai-traffic is included. The models should run also in Acceleration but they are not tested.
