WOWS is NOT striving to be REALISTIC and I do NOT advocate that WOWS should be REALISTIC. REALISTIC - "Resembling or simulating real life (conditions)".SIMULATOR - " A computer simulation (or "sim") is an attempt to model a real-life or hypothetical situation on a computer under real world conditions".AUTHENTIC - " Conforming to an original and/or the real world so as to reproduce essential features".For those that do not understand the difference between the concepts: To be sure, I do NOT mean a "SIMULATOR" or "REALISTIC" approach, but an "AUTHENTIC" approach. Promenades On either side of A Deck were promenades, featuring seating areas and large windows which could be opened in flight.Instead of taking their current approach to representing historic warships, I advocate that WOWS would strive to represent historic ships following an "AUTHENTIC" approach. Because the A Deck cabins were located in the center of the ship they had no windows, which was a feature missed by passengers who had traveled on Graf Zeppelin and had enjoyed the view of the passing scenery from their berths. None of the cabins had toilet facilities male and female toilets were available on B Deck below, as was a single shower, which provided a weak stream of water “more like that from a seltzer bottle” than a shower, according to Charles Rosendahl. Passenger Cabin aboard Hindenburg ( collection)Įach cabin had call buttons to summon a steward or stewardess, a small fold-down desk, a wash basin made of lightweight white plastic with taps for hot and cold running water, and a small closet covered with a curtain in which a limited number of suits or dresses could be hung other clothes had to be kept in their suitcases, which could be stowed under the lower berth.
