Spree-Blick Tour Ferry

Description
The "FMS Spree-Blick" is a tour boat operated by the family-owned Reederei Riedel company in Berlin. Various sightseeing and architectural tours run along the Spree river through the heart of the city. Berlin has a staggering amount of bridges, somewhere betweeen 1650 and 1700 in total, so tour boats are built with a low profile for clearance. There are three Spree-Blicks in Berlin, each 39.9m long and 4.93m wide.



This is my first vehicle for Cities:Skylines. I hope I've done everything correctly. My son and I just took one of these boat tours -- it was 2h long, started around sunset, and featured Berlin's Festival of Lights. I hope to release other low-profile sightseeing ferries soon.

Features:
  • ultra-low profile for easy bridge clearing
  • line-coloring (the top trim & railings will take the color of your Ferry line)
  • 1:1 scale
  • clean specular and illumination maps
  • hand-built LOD model

TRIS: 4,963
LOD tris: 88
main maps: 1024x1024
LOD maps: 256x256

Thanks!

I can't remember what the trick is, but I think if you sub to the ploppable version of the spree ferry, then use that as the asset template for your ferry, then your ferry will also float.

@AmiPolizeiFunk Amazing looking ferry! I just made a 1:1 car ferry for South Korea - can I ask how you got the prop version to float?

Thank you sir! I always wanted to make more like this. :steamhappy:

@AmiPolizeiFunk After those years, this is still the best-looking, modern ferry asset in the workshop. I have sent you an award.

Do you have a recommended matching ferry station? CIMs love taking ferries, but I hate them. But maybe greater boats like yours can change my mind!

Heheh that was my main impetus to make it. Really I'd love to have more of these low-profile type passenger ferries for some variety.

You solved so many of my bridge problems with this
