Interior
  • Bridge
  • Entertainment area with couch and TV
  • Captain's cabin
  • Officer's Cabin
  • Crew Quarters
  • Bathroom (2 Toilets, 2 Showers)

  • Internal Lifeboat Storage (Kugelfisch Launch System)
  • Armory
  • Engine Room
  • Gear Room
  • Pump Deck
  • Hose and Pipe Storage
  • Windlass Room
  • Medical Bay
  • Forecastle



Fuel Pump System:
Note: All valves, buttons and ports should be labeled and hopefully be mostly self explanatory.

Where to access the cargo tank?
  • Hose ports in front of the superstructure
  • Hose ports in front of the forecastle
  • Hose ports on the helipad
  • Fluid connectors on the helipad



Where to control the pumps?
  • Port side of the bridge (in front of the Radio Operator's Seat)
  • Directly on the hose anchors or fluid connectors
  • On a control station in the center of the pump deck

Where to control the crane?
  • On the helm
  • Via the control station in next to the Crane
  • Remote controlled (if "Allow Ship Remote Control" key on the bridge)

How to utilize the crane: The crane has two ports labeled "Crane Fluid Connector" at its base that can be freely connected to any port to make full use of the many options the tank setup of the ship allows for. To fully lower the crane after use, the connector at the winch needs to connect to its storage position.

Tip: There is a remote control station on top of the forecastle that can be used to remote control fuel gantries on dock (the remote control frequency is shown on the gantry). Lower the gantry and connect it i.e. to the fluid connectors on the helipad.

Hey all! Thanks for all of your suggestions. :shakinghands: They really are inspiring. I don't have much time right now, but I want release an overhauled version some day. These are the suggestions I want to include:
- Additional Rear Anchor (@bobertothe3)
- Additional IN/OUT refueling ports/anchors on the bridges balconies (@bobertothe3)
- Additional Mag Alls on the helipad (@Jes6308)
- Fixing the instrument panels for the Radio Operator Station (@Jes6308)
- Fixing the crane flow rate instrument panels (@Jes6308)

@takamaka846 Cool, did you drive that far? Did you also fill the cargo tank with fuel?
Reysn  [author] 6 Aug @ 12:53pm 
@exz There should be a button that enables auto-stop at last waypoint right next to where you enable the autopilot (on the instrument panel). I hope you find it and I hope it works. ^^

What I don't want to include (and why):
- Rear steering propellers used for stationary turn (@bobertothe3): They are kinda linked to the main thrust props and it would require a bit of an overhaul to get that working. Definetly doable, but some people find it too maneuverable already. I think the current implementation is a good compromise. Feel free to do it though. :')
- War Variant (@Kameha): I love this idea. I am currently not that good in creating anything that shoots really. Maybe I'll try it one day. This is definetly a variant I would love to see come to live.

I hope I did not forget something. You can always look at the update notes and maybe your problem was fixed already. I'm always happy to read your comments.

As always, you are free to change/add anything you want and upload it to the workshop (details in the description). :moralefist:

Thanks again for enjoying the Beluga and for helping in making it better!

It would be nice if the autopilot automatically cut throttle when it reached destination

Hm, pumping in crude seems to work fine for me... ensure your valves are set properly, and that you're connected to an IN pipeline, with the respective IN pumps enabled?
takamaka846 31 Jul @ 3:44am 
It has a range of something about 250 km with max speed.
Kameha 29 Jul @ 1:03pm 
Something is wrong with the tanker's ability to pump in crude oil.
Kameha 25 Jul @ 2:10pm 
Could you possibly make a war variant, equipped with flak guns and other defense weapons? Merchant vessels were used plenty during wars and even converted to be able to defend themselves against smaller threats.. im sure itll be cool.
Jes6308 18 Jul @ 11:36am 
Also, one small suggestion - add a few more Mag-Alls on the helipad (at least 4) to improve compatibility with more helicopters with unusual form factors, including your own Bluling Helicopter.
