Hello,
Thank you for checking out my new yacht!
This yacht is a work in progress, and because it isn't finished yet you have an opportunity to shape its development as well as get it for a great price! Everyone who purchases the early access edition will be getting the completed yacht when it is finished in the near future. Please be aware that you will likely be getting several updates as new features are added and completed.
If you have any ideas for features you'd like to have included in the yacht, let me know.
If you have favorite furniture with animations you love, send me a link to the store and I'll try to include the animations in the yacht.
Finally, if you find bugs and problems with the yacht, tell me about them so I can fix them and have them available in the next update.
Sincerely,
Brookston Holiday
NEW FEATURES
--------------------------
I'm super excited to be introducing two brand new features not available on other yachts.
This yacht has a region crossing system that eliminates most region crossing problems. No more rubber banding and disconnects.
Also introducing the new HMY Wake system. This yacht has the most realistic looking wake of any boat in Second Life!
Update 0.94 --> 0.98
------------------
*Added a bunch of new poses
*Changed how the menu system works. Now, if you are sitting on the yacht, touching the yacht will bring up the poses menus automatically, hit the yacht settings button to get to the other menus
*Must now turn on the yacht to begin driving, while in drivers seat hit the "Start Engine" button to begin driving
*Added external lighting to the flybridge, sides, and cockpit area
*re-wrote the driving script to work better in both advanced and simple driving modes, should now be able to switch back and forth while driving
*Added a re-texturing ability, check out the new hull colors. Simply rez the re-texture drone and left click it
Update 0.92 --> 0.94
------------------
*Fixed some of the spammy messages generated when you stop driving
*Redid the sit system From scratch. An avatar can change seated position to anywhere on the yacht from any sitting position
*Added a thruster system. Holding shift and left or right at slow speed will cause the yacht to strafe left or right
*Added more animations (still looking for some suggestions on who the best animation makers in SL are so I can buy some good ones for the yacht)
Second Update 0.91 --> 0.92
------------------
*Fixed "stuck" port rudder
*Added open/close functions to the window shades in bedroom and salon
*Added rotation to the radar arrays
*Added animations to bed (first seat is sheats, second seat is pillows otherwise you end up on the couch)
*Added animations to the shower (first seat floor, second seat back wall, otherwise you end up on couch)
*Added water particles to the shower
*fixed bug in script that would shift the wrong child prims when unlinking/linking to yacht
*Added "Scripts On" button to the menu. This will turn the animations and doors back on while driving. Normally these scripts are turned off while driving to prevent problems crossing region borders. This way you can us the yacht without having to stand up from the drivers seat. So with some creativity you can use the yacht and not worry about auto-return; as long as you or one of your guests is always sitting somewhere on the yacht. (Thanks again Antonio, this was a great idea!!!)
*Other small fixes and tweaks
First Update 0.9 --> 0.91
------------------
*Fixed a bunch of bugs, thanks for everyone who reported them!!!
*Biggest bug was preventing you from driving again after standing up.
*Fixed hover height, no more water in the bathroom.
*Added an entirely new advanced driving mode. In the new mode turning is more realistic and the throttle is set to a constant percentage. You can switch back to the simple mode with the touch menu.
*Added exterior water lights. Activated in the touch menu.

Simply Amazing
I wont get into to much detail about "whats missing" and "problems!!!" Since its early access and right now its showing us WHAT this ship will be capable of in the near future. The ship is designed well, looks like a true to life vessel with detail beyond what ive seen on other ships. For now i wouldnt cross to many sims at once, like on the Blake. Bad day perhaps but docked in a harbor and the ship stands out in a good way. Cant wait to see what features get added ^^
Great Yacht!
this yacht has really really nice details and the driving damn good cant wait for finished version
in the early access edition only drawback i see is the windows u cant see thro them in living area *bedroom etc *
hope u fix that soon its amazing
It's a great start!
This yacht is nothing short of incredible, and is bound for glory. The turning is realistic, so is the interior, and the design is as elegant as the Queen's handbag. And they say this is only a prototype? It's already beaten some of the competition.
However, there are one or two drawbacks worth mentioning. The Idle sounds, for example, aren't exactly pleasant to hear, neither are the repeating acceleration noises. I don't like how it's as large as a house and yet can go as fast as a speed boat. It's just unrealistic. It's also missing a few features, such as a color HUD and a horn.
But apart from these little niggles and bugs, I'm very confident that if you buy this yacht, you too will be a part of the glory and triumph that is the Flybridge. And you will be able to tell all your SL friends that, when you show up in your Flybridge, you can tell them about how you watched it develop from the prototype to the masterpiece it will eventually be.
Beautiful!
This is absolutely gorgeous and features the most detailed furnishings I've ever seen in a yacht. So many fantastic details! I had to jump on the early access and can't wait until it's finished! Beautiful work, thank you!
