SS Australis – Ocean Liner
SS Australis by RoomMic
The SS America ( available here ) was sold to Chandris Lines of Greece in 1964. She was extensively renovated, with additions like more cabins, modern facilities, and a pool/bar on the aft decks. For the next 14 years, she would server the mighrant trade from England to Australia, which was governmeent subsidized. The ship sailed around the Cape of Good Hope regularly after the Suez Crisis closed the canal in 1967. The ship was taken out of service after the subsidies ended, and sold off. She went through many owners throughout the 1980s until she became the American Star in 1994.
She was wrecked off Fuerteventura in 1994 as the SS American Star ( available here ).
This is a large ocean liner. Modern ships like these crossed the Atlantic from the 1920s to the 1960s, and served in other roles until the 1980s. The premier ocean liner for C:S!
Note that this ship is quite large, coming in at 723 feet (220 M). It’s also pretty large in the tri department as well.
Has custom smoke and wake effects with Vehicle Effects. Functions as a cruise ship ingame. Speed can be changed using AVO. A ploppable version is included!
If you use LSM, most textures should be shared, which will reduce the overall size.
Over 40k tris with all submeshes, 512×2048 textures, 1024×4096 for the hull
Custom LOD and textures included
Thank you to all the webstites documenting the SS Australis (there are too many to count). Thanks also to the Facebook group Chadris Lines Memories for providing a rich source of personal photos.
