... and a message has been received!

Ship oars and weigh anchor mates! Captain Fredinho has set course for BOATING! for June's 2021 voyage.

[Fredinho]

No one wanna go boating?

[DemianWSE]

Hi everyone! Here's my entry for the competition:

Granford lagoon. Water may not be suitable for drinking, but it's good enough for some boating fun.

[GarryG]

The Hawkesbury River and Mullet Creek. The freight train is almost across the Hawkesbury River Bridge and through the Mullet Creek Tunnel heading north to Brisbane, Queensland. There is a rowing event taking place on the creek. Not sure how the wake from the fishing boat will effect them. The area is famous for the oysters and shrimp (prawns). There also a pod of dolphins in the area.

Hi DemianWSE,
you gota nice shot there! what object sets are you using for the walls in the lower left corner and for the groumd between the industries?

Thanks! The fences around industries are from ISR/DWE style objects, CIRSO and FaCSO, and VAST fences for the diagonal parts. If you're talking about the slopes next to the electrified tracks, those are from the Embankments from GarryG's Auz Water And Landscape Objects.

[Fredinho]

Lovely work!

An arctic cold blast has hit the Bay of Fundy; it separates the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with St.John and Digby major cities either side of the Bay ... Rail and road services have been suspended, luckily ferry and some air services are still operating, so is maritime cargo transportation. Just in case, icebreakers are on standby to keep sea lanes open ... Unfortunately, the Annual World Partridge Island Rowing Regatta Championship had to be called off due to the inclement weather; organisers and competitors alike are devastated ...

[wallyweb]

I'm in.

Our earstwhile friends, Van Horne and Foreman, make a return after a long absence. Van Horne has disposed of his fortune and gone into the Casino and Marina business. Let's listen in ...

Commodore Van Horne: FOREMAN! Get in here! NOW!
Foreman: Yes sir, Mr.Van Horne, sir. I'm here sir.
Commodore Van Horne: That's Commodore Van Horne you fool!
Foreman: Yes sir Mr.Commode Door Van Horne you fool, sir.
Commodore Van Horne: What? Never mind! A question Foreman ... YOU LET WHO WITH A WHAT INTO OUR REGATTA ????
Foreman: oops ... wink wink heh heh ...
Commodore Van Horne:Well, tell that pilfering pirate to get that barge he calls a ship out of my marina or I'll convert it to a submarine!
Foreman: Yes sir. Righnt away sir.
Commodore Van Horne: And tell that scoundrel Wal E. Web that he still has work to do on that sea wall.

Nice, thnx!!

[Taschi]

All screenshots in this month's competition boat extremely well for the future of OpenTTD.

Yes, I spent all day coming up with that pun. No, I do not have anything better to do.

[Fredinho]

Haha, well done, Taschi. I agree, a wonderful selection of screenshots. My personal favorites are Fridaemons (the level of detail and work, man!) and OzTrans (those docks look really lovely with the snowy landscape).

[fridaemon]

Have the same feeling thanks I'm in love with OzTrans' screenshot. Really nice and different snow country.

Honestly, I didn't plan to enter the competition, but when I saw a small number of competitors, I got into it. I expanded my previous city with river, boats, hypermarket, bus depot and took screenshot. Not sure if you see it, but under water there is subway system,

There some good ones there .. if I had to choose just one, I would have to ponder on it for a while deciding. Voting for 3 .. well not telling.

From what set are these tiles?

I had to go looking to remember where these was so while at it making a few additions .. hope to upload in my object set either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Not sure if you see it, but under water there is subway system,

You giving more ideas .. Subway system with a fake water above it could make a good underwater subway .. make the mind ponder on it.

Cheers all

Before you do that you might be able to save yourself some work. I think jgrpp supports tunnels under water.

[Taschi]

Before you do that you might be able to save yourself some work. I think jgrpp supports tunnels under water.

But only in straiggt lines and without stops so they're not really useful as subway systems.

Also, even vanilla OpenTTD allows tunnels under water, unless that water isn't an ocean.
