FS2004/FSX German Sea Rescue Boat. The German sea rescue ship "John T. Essberger" from the 70th with daughter boat "Elsa". Thi FS model is especially for the 150 year anniversary of the German organisation "Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbruchiger" in May 2015. This independent organisation was founded in May 1865 and does their job just by donations. Within that period many thousands of missions saved hundred thousand of lives and rescued thousands of boats and ships in the areas of North Sea and Baltic Sea. This add-on shows the biggest boat from the 70th (44.2m) together with the animated daughter boat "Elsa" which runs down from the tail ramp to reach a parallel course together with the "John T. Essberger". Another animation is towing a motor boat with engine problems. Effects for a fire on board of a ship and fire extinguishings are included. The 2D panel is made by a photograph of the real navigation bridge of the original ship which can be visited now in the technic museum at Speyer. Nineteen cameras let you explore the ship with its virtual navigation bridge and let you enjoy the animations. Two AI versions are included: John T. Essberger solo and with "Elsa". FSDS 3.5 model and panel made by Erwin Welker, sound by Knud Kristofferson.
