FS2004/FSX Four Masted Barque "Passat". FS2004/FSX/Acceleration/P3D package four masted barque Passat as pilotable boats or as AI ships. This tall ship was one of the famous German "Flying P-liners" from the Laeisz ships company. She was build by the Blohm and Voss shipyard Hamburg in 1911. First she was a pure cargo ship, faster and more efficient than steamers of that era. She carried nitrat from Chile to Germany or grain between Australia and Europe. In 1952, Passat and the similar Pamir were converted to freight carring school ships with a 1000 hp auxillary engine. Pamir sank 1957 in a heavy storm and Passat was recommisioned after that tragedy. She is since 1959 a museum ship in the harbor of Travemunde/Lubeck/Germany. This addon provides one pilotable version with all thirty-four sails set and a second version with striked sails, running with engine. Twenty-four FSX cameras let you explore the beautiful ship from high above in the masts, on the very detailed decks or from external views. Using FS2004 there are seventeen virtual panel look-around views. Additionally, there are two AI models supposed to be used with the great tool AI-carriers2.
