Which areas (harbours) would you like to see added to Ship Simulator in the future?

which game area hope you in the future once more in shipsim measure to make?
I think he means to say - Which areas (harbors) would you like to see added to Ship Simulator in the future?[/b]
This topic has been discussed many, many times . . . I will let this posting slide this time since the previous post was not brought over to the new forum. However - PLEASE research a topic before creating a new one. You may find the topic has been posted before.
-
I would like to see more boats and shorter mission yet hard ones.Also even without those things the game is awse :)me
-
That is not really the question
-
What I really would like to see/play (or rather sail) is the route between Narvik (in northern Norway) and Rotterdam with Berge Stahl. The town of Narvik was built mainly for the shipping of swedish(!) ore, and a lot of it ends up in Rotterdam.
-
Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of distance are we looking at?
-
Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of distance are we looking at?
Yer that seems quite a distance and will take alot of time.
I on the other hand think it might be a good idea for a Belfast to Scotland route which is served by the HSC Stana Voyager as it will take about 2 hours and will be very fun as the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean can be quite hard to do in a storm!! ;D
-
Sydney Harbour would be pretty awesome!
-
Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of distance are we looking at?
From Narvik to Rotterdam? A looong distance :)
But as I understand this, there will be missions in SS2008 that includes crossing oceans? If so, this "little" route would be a piece of cake, except for the possibility of heavy storms, fog, other ships, shallows, etc...
The route includes areas such as Vestfjorden (between Lofoten and the main land), and is known for hard storms in the winter time. And of course you have to cross at least two other areas also famous for it's hard weather: Stadtlandet (that's where you turn from southwest to south along the coast of Norway) and The Northern Sea.
BTW: Stadtlandet also includes areas of shallows which contains a lot of shipwrecks.
All in all, a challenge to travel with sucess :)
-
Also maybe Tasmaina And The Bass Strait (Extremely dangerous waters) might be kool for huge rogue waves.
-
Greetings,
I would like to see
The westerscheldt,Northsea,and the britanny coast.
The Britanny coast,is where the pictures of the Abeille Flandre on this forum are taken.
You 'll see why i would like that area.

Anything on the English Channel would be fine by me
e.g. Dover to Calais or Portsmouth to Cherburg/St Malo/Caen etc. VStep should bring out add on packs offering certain routes ans ships eg Western Channel V1.1 which would include scenery areas such as Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth and Le Harve, Cherburg and St Malo etc and also the ships you would find on these routes
That would be wicked!

I strongly agree with you. It would be loads of fun and offer many more mission profiles

Hey, hey, hey! I am wondering about canals!? Are there going to be any? If there are, I request the Great Lakes canal and Panama canal. I also hope to see the Golden Gate bridge in the game, so put in San Fransisco if you may.
I'm back, and I still ain't dead!
FLANK SPEED!!!

Greetings,
SF area,will be in the game.Also South of England and Marseille.With the South of England,i mean Portsmouth/Isle of Wight area.
With Marseille,it is the bay,before you reach Marseille,and the harbour.

Like some-one above purposed, add-on packs of certain areas would be great, including the vessels that are common for that area. I myself as an inland-skipper would like to see a bit more inland-canals and -rivers as well. Like Marc said, the Westerschelde would be very nice to have, because you can sail it with allmost any ship, because they're all common there!
On-topic: I would like to see the Unter-Weser, from outside Bremerhaven, including Wilhemshaven, all the way to Bremen! That would be a massive area, with 3 fairly big harbours and loads of possibillitys!
-
IJmuiden, with the north sea channel, the canals and the marina!
-
If there are going to be long trips then is there going to be a thing that speeds up time like in the flight sims ??? :-\
-
I would like the North sea east coast (with Le havre, Port d'antifer, Dunquerque, zeebrugge, Antwerp, Vlissingen, Amsterdam, ...)
-
Hi,
I would agree with the Dover-Calais section of the Dover Straits... It is the busiest shipping channel after all. Could provide a lot of challenges getting past all the tanker/ cargo ships running across the straits.

This sounds like an interesting idea.
I have two questions:
1. At what speeds does it take two hours?
2. Will the game engine hold out? It often cuts out on me if I game close to 2 hours.
I hate the current game engine.
-

True, but it would need to be disabled in online play, otherwise it would influence other gamers environment, unless you programmed each gamer can set their own time rate - however, that means players who accelerate time can just "warp" away. I am not too into that.

Baltic approches - two suggestions:
Route TANGO (including the DW route) from bouy Nr. 1 NW of Skagen L/H S through, Kattegat, the Great Belt and Langelandsbælt then forking either E via Fehmahrn Belt to the Baltic (Rostock, Gdansk, Kaliningrad etc.) or W towards the Kieler Canal. This would be the typical route for larger vessels offering lots of anti collison work and a need for a keen eye on your echo sounder. (A radar might be a good idea as well)
For the more experienced master you might add the Western short cut through Little Belt and its opposite Eastern number through the Sound passing the bottleneck at Elsinore and further S across Copenhagen Roads and the very narrow passages E and W of Saltholm and finally exiting at the Falsterbo "roundabout". These are not for the feeble and inexperienced and only take vessels up to 1599 BRT. Especially the Little Belt is a particularly nasty piece of work, its treacherous currents has earned it the nickname "Midshipman killer".
The Sound is a narrow fairway with a heavy traffic load of vessels entering and leaving the Baltic, but also offers a lot of ferries crisscrossing and heaps of fishing ships and pleasure craft always in harms way.
The Baltic approaches in general take all sorts of craft from the 45t fishing vessel to huge RoRos and cruise liners and thus offer the possibility to create a wide range of missions. Depending on what type of vessel the total sailing time from bouy no. 1 to the fork will be 8 - 16 hour real time.
Unfortunately it has been a couple of years since I sailed those waters myself so I cannot give you the corresponding Admiralty chart numbers.

As an Aussie Ship Simmer, I would definitely like to see Sydney Harbour included somewhere in a future release of Ship Sim. It's a pretty busy place so it should make for some interesting missions. I suppose you could make cargo runs from up in Queensland down the coast to Sydney, Melbourne and across Bass Strait to Tasmania. Theres also the Barrier Reef and its various islands to ferry passengers and cargo around.
I also think you would need to include a 'yaw' option like they have in Flight Sim. The open ocean missions are going to take forever otherwise.
-
I'd aslo think maybe Newcastle Harbour (Shipping Capital of the world) to Sydney Harbour could be cool. (Aust)
I agree with Newcastle but the one in the UK , It has everything from huge tankers to the patrol boats on the North Shields Fish Quay and the DFDS Ferry Terminal and they are building a new port for the QE2 to dock in September! :D
-
I agree with Newcastle 100%, I has everything from huge tankers to the patrol boats on the North Shields Fish Quay and the DFDS Ferry Terminal and they are building a new port for the QE2 to dock in September! :D
Dont you mean QM2?
-
Dont you mean QM2?
No the QE2. Thats what I read. ???
-
So they are still making efforts for that old ship? Wow. I would think they would be investing in ports for QM2 - QE2 needs to go into a major retrofit.
-
One of the main docks in Souhampton has been called QE2 dock for years, but that doesn't actually mean that only QE2 docks there...
Actually, their sister company Carnival/P&O use it as well.

-
And in Newcastle if you were coming in on a big cargo ship a helicopter could land on your ship to drop off the pilot (we usually use helicopters instead of pilot vessels) and also there are HUGE ship queues numbering up to 60+ so you could be a re-fueling vessel and take fuel out to waiting ships!

Newcastle UK for the QE2 and the Queen of Scandinavia project. PERFECT. :D
-
Wow - really? This sounds like a very very intense area. Very exciting. I will check out the website.
-
The long ques sound like the Port of Los Angele, there are always A LOT of containers and tankers waiting to be brought in for unloading or refueling. I have sailed out of there many times and there is always a huge fleet waiting for servicing.
-
Captain Kool proposed Newcastle in Australia, but KDS Newcastle UK, Tyneside I think. Which one is the best?
I prefer Newcastle (Maine), much cosier, less excited? And they surely need ferries too!
Regards,
Luc
-
We will debate priorities of selection, if we do at all, later.
-
i think if the northern sea ::)

I really would like to see the port of Antwerp.
It is the 3rd biggest port in Europe and it has the biggest ship lock in the world (the Berendrechtsluis).
It allso has a lot of inland possibillyties. The Schelde-rijn Channel connects the port of Antwerp with Rotterdam. So, it allso will be good for open sea missions (Rotterdam-Antwerp)
And, it would be a great adition for the North sea (it is the most central port of the North sea).
But, the major reasen why I like the port of Antwerp is biceaus I only live 1km away from the port.
-
Ostende would be a goo one. I've never sailed in there but been on the road. The port is right in the middle of town. A stones throw from the road.
I bet Ostende is a challenging place to navigate (it certainly is by road!!!)
Stu
-
I would like to see either Monaco, the French Rivera, Venice, Sicily, Miami, and some place in Alaska (idk)
-
u gotta put the clyde in !as it was the biggest ship building river in the world !
-
yes! that is a cool place, I've been there once and it really is big
-
Hey Sydney Harbour to Newcastle will be the best i reckon, as Sydney is well known and Newcastle Harbour (2 hours north from Sydney) is well known for supplying coal and that when you enter the harbour it's kind of narrow to get in, so theres a challenge. I can supply you some pics if you would like. I'm from Newcastle, Australia and i think it will be great for once if sydney got credit from a game ;D
cheers,
Matt

That would make it even more entertaining to pilot!
-
I'd like to see Plymouth and the surrounding area (Falmouth, Dartmouth for the smaller boats - though you can get a Type 23 up there hehe - Exmouth, Weymouth/Portland and the English Riveria aka Torquay/Paignton) and the Norwegian fjords and the Stavenger area.

Victoria, British Columbia to Seattle, Washington USA would be a very picturesque voyage through Puget Sound.

Victoria: homeport ;)
I'd love to see Vancouver, Canada, and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
-
Got my vote!...
Would love to see the Westerschelde on it...
-
I would like to see some Great Lake saling. Like in some of the bigger ports like Rogers City and places like that.
Joel
-
I want to see Annapolis.
-
Lauwersoog (Small harbor which is half in Friesland and half in Groningen in the Netherlands) and then the Waddensea and the Waddenislands ;D Very shallow there.
-
Greetings,
I would like to see more harbours also,however maybe afther the release of the 2008 version,it would be more better to extend the harbours that we have,untill a reasonal point.Before we gonna start on more harbours.
By example,to extend the part from "Hoek van Holland" a couple of miles more into the Northsea.
Also a bit more to the inland,from sector "Botlek" untill the "Moerdijkbridge".
These are just idea's,but maybe a good way,to get more from the inland also.So this way we can sail a bit further than what is possible now,and also the game gets more bigger area's to sail in.
I'm not against more harbours,but that can come in time.
Regards
Marc
-
I'd like Southampton and New York. We've got New York and soon have Southampton so i'm happy! :)
-
If someone wants a challenge building a harbour, Piraeous in Greece would keep you busy for a while. A long while.
Stu
-
I would like to see some Great Lake saling. Like in some of the bigger ports like Rogers City and places like that.
And even Chicago
-
i would like to see the Scottish islands in the game like from Stornoway to Ullapool:D
-
I live by The Clyde. I'd love to see that modelled
-
THE BALEARIC ISLANDS, INCLUDING IBIZA, MALLORCA AND MENORCA.
-
The harbour of Genoa is one of the most beautiful in the world.It's very difficult to steer ships there... ;)
-
Hey all
I would like to see Copenhagen as a big cruise ship port and aarhus as the biggest container port in Denmark as the Emma maersk has been there 2 or 3 times since she was build, and as another on here says the Oersund region Passing Elsinor and Ven and further down passing the Oersunds Brigde/and the tunnels and the the opening into the baltic sea, have just for a few weeks sailed there and it was very challenging he said to me Captain on The big wessel Navigator of the seas..
-
Stockholm would be nice, beautiful and challenging with the narrow passages and many islands :)
-
I would like to see the Puget Sound area of Washington State, including the ports of Victoria and Vancouver. This would give several, connected ports among which to move ships, and do all the activities associated with these busy ports.
Thanks for all that you are doing to make this available to those of us who don't have the time, or opportunity, to experience this career path.
Gerry
-
Yes I think Stockholm is a very good Idea. I was there last year, I think its a challange to find your place if you come from the open sea. There are really a lot of islands. And in Stockholm still working steamboats (I think for tourists). And its a beautyful city scenery.
greets strassenkreuzer
-
Vancouver Harbour, BC, Canada.
-
Hmmm i have voted but i noticed everyone just votes for their own country ports..lol
-
I´m sorry, Stockholm is not in Germany! Its in Sweden. (a little bit geography around the world ;) )
-
Charleston SC USA
-
Well seeming my area is already in SS08, uuum, oh ide like to see the norfolk roads, that will be cool :)
-
Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle and Long Beach/San Pedro(Port of Los Angeles)

yes stockholm also but before you get to stockholm you have to pass denmark via oersund or great belt brigde, off cause not all have to some goes via the kiel channel wich i allso think is a great idea..

Hello all sailors!
Why not the most trafficated sound in the world, with one shipmovement every 5 min the year around. To drive one of the ferrys between Helsingborg-Helsingor in the HH-sound Denmark - Sweden would be nice!
Best regards/Nisse
-
I think Channel Islands would be good! Longest crossing would be Guernsey to Jersey/Alderney - 1 hour by fast ferry and just 3 mile hops to Herm and a 9 mile hop to Sark!
-
I would like to see Hull in the game, it is a cool harbor, with a big channel, and then we can sail the Pride of Rotterdam from Rotterdam to Hull, like in real. ( http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=Hull,+England&ie=UTF8&ll=53.727998,-0.364952&spn=0.091199,0.215607&t=k&z=13&iwloc=addr&om=1 )
-
i would like to see oslo in norway and gøteborg in sweden
-
Yes, a nice Norweigan fjord. Heavy on graphics... Somewhere like Flamm- spectacular.
Stu
-
Ohh yeah the Fla°m Fjord is really great I want to see it too...
PS: how can I make a norwegian circle over the a like in Fla°m ?
-
This sounds like an interesting idea.
I have two questions:
1. At what speeds does it take two hours?
2. Will the game engine hold out? It often cuts out on me if I game close to 2 hours.
I hate the current game engine.
Around 18 knots.
And I don't think so.
;)
Glad you liked the scotland to belfast idea. :D
-
I'd like to see......
1.Dover-Calais/Dunkerque/Le Harve etc North eastern french coast up to and inc Antwerp including locks and canals etc as one sailing area with associated vessels.
2.Hong Kong/Singapore think of the amount of shipping and navigation hazzards around there, not to mention piracy and very small islands to make navigation difficult.
3.Not really a harbour (but it has it's biggest effect in them) let's see some tides and currents.
-
I would like to have the Geiranger fjord in Norway in a future version of Ship Sim ;)
-
Having living in Norfolk I would love to see the Norfolk Broads!! They are not too big and could be quiet a few missions too.
-
How about Miami, cruise capital of the world. Sun, emerald waters, beautiful women. whats not to love!
-
whats not to love!
The 'beautiful women' part. The rest sounds nice :).
-
Nothing wrong with beautiful women. Don't you like yourself, Nub Cake? ;)
Welcome, Boeingtriple7. Miami could have some nice (anti) drugrunmissions, good one!
-
I WOULD LIKE THE BIESCHBOS [NL]
:P
-
Nothing wrong with beautiful women. Don't you like yourself, Nub Cake? ;)
I like that, nice comment....I bet she's speechless now ;)
-
One of the best, in my opinion, would be Venice. This would cover everything, from the small, busy canals (and fantastic buildings) to the more open waters of the lagoon and from there out to sea.
Imagine using the speedboat for James Bond type fast chases through the canals - now that would be a tough mission!
-
I like that, nice comment....I bet she's speechless now ;)
Not really nice, don't you think? >:(
-
Not really nice, don't you think? >:(
I'm not sure what you mean, it was meant as a nice comment ;)
-
I would like to see some Scottish ports like Aberdeen ect
-
I think also the St. Petersburg harbour and area is an interresting place. There you have all you want, cruise terminals, cargo terminals, the river and some riverarms in the city, islands and a very beautyful city.
greetings strassenkreuzer
-
i thinks the irish sea would be good routes such as holy head to belfast and fleetwood to larn
-
cross channel ferry harbours (St Malo, Roscoff, Le havre, Caen-Ouistreham) would be great
-
i would like to see Teignmouth which is quite small and has fishing boats sailing yahgts docked in it as well as smaller cargo ships which have to navigate a small channel compared to their size, which would be quite a challenge.
also i don't no if this is already included but i would like to see tides because teignmouth has quite large tides
-
I would like to see miami as it is the cruise port capitial and i would like to see the channel islands with poole and weymouth and other ports that go to the channel islands with the fast ferry (condor
cheers

-
I'd like Southampton and New York. We've got New York and soon have Southampton so i'm happy! :)
Got them both now!
-
I would love to have the River Clyde included in future Ship Simulator releases. Lots and lots of piers and harbours to choose from.
;D
-
2.Hong Kong/Singapore think of the amount of shipping and navigation hazzards around there, not to mention piracy and very small islands to make navigation difficult.
Ditto - Hong Kong first, then Singapore. :)
-
Have to Agree, Hong Kong and Singapore are two great ports!
Personally, while not a port would like to see something like the Panama Canal or Suez.
-
Ft Lauderdale and Antwerp would be nice! ;)
-
The Firth of Clyde estuary would also be a good area to model, in a small area we have great scenery including high mountainous islands, sandy bays, cities and towns.
There are many large and small ports, 12 ferry routes+ a seacat route to Ireland, a container terminal , graving docks, shipyards, victorian style piers, an ore terminal and a large harbour with estuarial and deep sea tugs, marinas and even a nuclear submarine base.
All of these things in a small area definitely make the Clyde a good choice for shipsim.
-
The Panama canal with working locks would be great ;)
The Antwerp Seaway from Flushing to Antwerp is also nice, because the many different type of ships that are sailing there.
-
it will be nice to find Dover Straight and Le Havre ;)
and Bretagne and Brest especially, it's a good navigation here but dangerous
-
Plymouth with it's ferry port and naval dockyards
-
THE RIVER THAMES AND LONDON!!
-
The Burmuda Triangle! (If it's not already a part of Atlantic already) But in the Triangle your compasses could go wrong, and Rogue waves could apear...

How about Sydney harbor or Panama Canal?

Just from another conversation....William, if you had the SDK, you could make them yourself and would'nt have to ask anyone for it.. Just like your good countrymen in NL2000 did for the whole of the Netherlands in Flightsim ;)

Yeah singapore is good, but why not norway! There are much oilrigs to!
-
I'd Like To See The RIVER THAMES in LONDON!!! ;D
-
I would like to see the Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Nassau and Grand Bahama.
-
1.The ferry lines from Stockholm to Helsinki/Turku would be nice with the many islands of the Ã…land archipelago.
2. The route Helsinki-Tallinn (Fairly short distance)
3.Having seen a TV-series about Hurtigruten which stretches along the very beautiful Norwegian coast I would very much appreciate this route, or at least a part of it.

The River Thames, from the Mouth of the Estuary up to Tower Bridge, Portland Harbour including the old Dockyard, and of course, the Dover Straights! :)
-
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b153/Wolfdemon59/florida_ports_crop.gif)
The game should have some Florida Ports,that would be entertaining ;D but which one? Who knows.
-
How about Sydney harbor
Sydney harbour would be too hard to design (Size, Scenery etc...) I really hope it can be made into a future edition, but they better get started!
-
I would like to see the whole port of amsterdam from IJmuiden-locks to the Oranje-locks
perhaps to be able to sail from Amsterdam to Rotterdam over the northsea aswell as through the amsterdamrijn-canal.
I would like to see the whole agean sea, so i can hop from the Greek island Kos to Crete and to Athens etc.
-
Would love to see the world ;)
-
why not open up ss08 like microsoft flightsim's and let user's and third partys addon more scenes. it works for the mighty microsoft.
ok some one has already said that but i can't be a**ed to look..
Edited for language, DJM.
-
I would like to have norway, more specific stavanger.
It's the oil capital of norway 8)
-
Port of Dover is nice!
-
I would like to see Seattle harbour.
And I would like to see larger harbours more then 20 miles wide.
-
Let us say there would be a total of 20 ports including the ones already in the game (marked in red)
Europe:
Hamburg
Rotterdam
Solent
Marseille
Stockholm
Thessaloniki
Dover
Calais
Irish Sea
North America:
New York
San Francisco
Miami
Vancouver
South America:
Buenos Aires
Africa:
Cape Town

Phi Phi Islands
Yokohama
Hong-Kong
Singapore
Oceania:
Sydney
-
i would like to see Cobh in Cork-Ireland, it has much history and is quite a tricky place to sail in :)
-
Istanbul?
-
We need a Canadian Port like Vancouver or even the St. Laurence

I would like to see Seattle harbour.
And I would like to see larger harbours more then 20 miles wide.
I am from Seattle, that would be sweet =D

How about Norfolk, Va we have some ports, Bulk docks, a bridge with a tunnel .Also if I am correct the worlds largest Naval base. Also maby some ports along the Cheseapeake Bay That includes the fiew small fishing Villages and the Cheseapeake bay bridge tunnel that is over 12 miles long.
-
If Sydney Harbour is done i'd b over the moon ;D but, lets just face it its not going to get picked as Captain said its too big to do :'( but if comes out in the future release i would like someone to take a screenie of it.
Cheers, Matt

Hello all,
i will see the port of IJmuiden and locks..
And Harlingen when you go from there to starte
the voyage then you must passing Terschelling VTC
Station lighthouse BRANDARIS channel 02 ;) and at night that you
can see the Brandaris light ;) that wil be wonderful
-
Like to see Leith, Edinburgh. Would be great going up the Firth of Forth past Inchkeith island, and into Leith, where the (former) Royal Yacht (Britannia) is. You could also go under the Forth road and rails bridges to Grangemouth Oil refinery - perfect for the tankers in SS2008! ;D
-
Istanbul?
yep, i would like to see the Bosphorus, dreamy place :)

Anything on the English Channel would be fine by me
e.g. Dover to Calais or Portsmouth to Cherburg/St Malo/Caen etc. VStep should bring out add on packs offering certain routes ans ships eg Western Channel V1.1 which would include scenery areas such as Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth and Le Harve, Cherburg and St Malo etc and also the ships you would find on these routes
That would be wicked!
My thoughts entirely..Caen = Ouistreham..perhaps Dieppe coastline..
-
Plymouth, Plymouth Sound, River Tamar/Plym/Lyhner Cawsand Bay
-
Hey I Think you should set out HSS Routes or Stena Line Routes around europe, Seeing as there is already a HSS Terminal in rotterdam. :)
-
as i spent a lot of time in the merchant navy i would like to sail the japanese coastline with ports like kobe/yokohama and travel the inland sea.
-
I strongly agree with you. It would be loads of fun and offer many more mission profiles
Portsmouth or/& Cherbourg would be a very fine additon to the game, I must agree! :)
-
Because you have got Rotterdam/Hook of Holland and Hamburg why not do the Stenna HSS from Harwich (UK) to Hook Van Holland, Hull to Rotterdam (You have the boat and ther port) and Harwich to Hamburg.
Why not sail to south of france, or Spain etc
:)
-
As a lot of people have already mentioned, English Channel harbours would be good and the ability to roam between them.
-
I would like too see this area in the future. It's in Grenland, Norway.
The red spots are harbours, and the spot on top of the picture is Hydro Porsgrunn.
If it's true what I have heard, it's a difficult S-turn, because of the current and it's narrow under the two bridges.
-
Kristiansand < - > IJmuiden is also nice, its done with the ferry: Prince of Scandinavia.
I took this 17 hour trip in 1995, beautifull scenery around Kristiansand.
-
I would like to see the Humber Ports added (Grimsby, Immingham and Hull)...would only take up a comparitively small gaming area, but they are some of the busiest Ports in the world
-
How about the Panama cannal?
-
IS CHERBOURG AND POOLE ON THE GAME?
AND CAN YOU SAIL FROM POOLE TO CHERBOURG IN FREE-ROAM?
-
Belfast, Ireland
-
As I live in South Wales UK. I would like to see the Bristol Channel, as this has Swansea, Cardiff, Barry, Newport, Bristol and Gloucester docks. The last two being quite difficult to get at due to the tides and that the river access into them is difficult.
Mike
-
I would like to see some Great Lakes harbours and saling areas in the future.
-playforpain
-
The classic Southampton with the White Star Line terminal! 8)
-
sydney australia and wellington nz
-
How about the Panama cannal?
Panama canal would be great. But you need the save game function for that, otherwise you will be playing a mimimum of 14 hours to get through it. ;)
-
I would love to see Sydney Harbour in Australia done ;D
We have a diverse range of ferries inc. double and singled ended ferries and River Cats

Plus if you modelled Melbourne in Victoria and Devonport in Tasmania you could run through Bass Strait which are some of the roughest and toughest waters to cross in the world :D
Tom
-
Poole harbour right up to Poole bridge and beyond
-
The coasts and sounds of Denmark. The distances are small and the waters can be a navigational challenge, and there are a lots of harbours to sail between.
-
Personally I'm happy with the middle of the Atlantic... At least then I can manage to avoid hitting things... Even with the eagle ;)

Pireaus Port in Greece would be fine. Too many facilities such as Shipyards, Container, Ro-Ro, Cement, Passenger terminals, Oil refinaries, Naval bases, Natural gas facility, Ferry lines, Yacht Marinas, Traffic Separation Scheme, Strait, Anchorage everything within a 20 to 30 miles area. Approximate position at Google Earth:"Salamis" lat=37.961257, lon=23.506078. You can take a look at the attached pictures(if you can't see them, right click and save target as, or goto http://rapidshare.com/users/7BR694 (http://rapidshare.com/users/7BR694) to see them and many more). I'm a Captain living nearby and can provide more info if needed.
-
Florida and the Bahamas...... And some Sport Fishing Boats... ;D
-
Dubai, Bahrain and the rest of the Arabian Gulf including the KAAOT and ABOT oil terminals complete with US/UK navy picket ships! :P

I really like to see that one in SS08
-
I love Greece, it my favourite holliday destination, I allways go to Kos :)
Pireaus is a good suggestion, you could play with all kinds of Ferry's and hydrofoils and hop by all the islands the scenery is lovely in the Agean sea, Greek navy has also some nice ships (ex Dutch Royal navy S-Class frigates) :)
-
Me as a Norwegian would like to see Bergen harbour. Virtual Sailor made an area that was called Norway South. Of course it was not completely detailed, but the most populated places had some nice details. Stavanger, Haugesund is harbours I would like to see in the future.
-
I would like to see the whole coastline of europe, but, it would be very very undetailed, so it won't take very much time to build it, and then put the very detailed harbours in it. This way a long distance route like Hamburg-Rotterdam is possible. Together with a simulation rate button (like you can change it in flightsim for example) would be really cool...maybe I'm asking to much, forgive me ;D
Cheers,
Ruben
-
That'd be nice. :)
Thanks, Sky.

Obviously a lot of Norwegians have bought this game, the developers should keep this in mind if they plan to release new ports ;)
My dream would be one or several Norwegian ports, like the western coast as you mention. They would be excellent in missions involving the oil rig for example. Or simply moving around with a local ferry.
-
I would realy love to have a norwegian ferry in the sim.
With working hydraulic bow and stern "doors".....i don't really know what they are called so i just call them doors.
Hope you people understand what i am meaning :D
-
ummm i have an idea for a simulator....world map... drive the ship around the world on all the seas and some of the bigger harbours in the game...the texture of the land isn't important or the detail and scale of it is just an idea which is hard to make but i think it would be cool to drive the ship across atlantic or other oceans...seas get into storms and bad weather and trad ethe cargo from one part of the world to another like a real simulator ...or transfer passengers across the seas and oceans...
-
How about the Carribean and the east coast of the US
-
I'd like to see Panama Canal, and the amazon river, with its sand banks in the midle of Brazilian Rain Forest.
-
the harbour of dunkerque will be a good idea; there is 2 harbours the new which at open sea and the old with locks ;) ;)
-
Norway was mentioned a lot, and I completely agree. :)
The Norway coast is breathtaking, so I would like to see parts of it like:
- Geiranger fjord (mountains up to 1000 Meters high, beautiful waterfalls and big cruise ships (hurtigruten, AIDA, etc.) travelling into the fjord)
- Trondheim
- The Northcape on Mageroya Island
- Oslo with fjord
- Bodo --> Lofoten (Westfjord) --> Raftsund
And:
Svalbard (for journeys with cruise ships)
Antarctica (for touristjourneys around icebergs and the beautiful Antarctica coast)
greets
-
I would like to see the Belfast to Stranraer route made for the game. It is a nice hour and a half journey. The STena HSS Voyager takes that route. That is why I think that this route should be created, so that you can use the HSS Voyager.
Also, Rosslare(Ireland)should be created because it takes the Stena Lynx 3 which sails to Fishguard. It also takes the Stena Caledonian I think.
Nathanael
-
Buenos Aires port would be great!!! ;D
Quite difficult uh!? :'(
-
How about Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii?
Or even the entire Island ;D (The ability to sail around it, like Phi Phi, only bigger.)
-
in the future i think plymouth/millbay habour would be good to use.
-
Venice...the most beautiful city in the world ;D ;D
But also: Genoa, one of the biggest European harbours. The fantastic Straight of Messina, the area between Sicily and Calabria! In the southern of Italy.
Or the outstanding Gulf of Naples, the isles of Capri and Ischia!
Italy is full of fantastic harbours! 8) 8) Bye!
-
If Norway was selected for a future expansion.. I wuld hate to be the designer having to model the fjords! THAT would be a nightmare.
BTW For anyone who hasn't seen the fjords- they are spectacular. You have to see them to appreciate them.
Stu
-
I agree with Sydney harbour as there are so many bays and inlets to explore. Also how about Santander in Spain, again quite a large harbour. Possibly Gibraltar?
-
I would like the Thames till the barrier, and all the rivers who go in the Thames.(Felixstow, River Orwell, ...)
-
I would like to see harbour of Stockholm. Love it with all the islands!
-
I would like to see harbour of Genoa (Genova) Italy.
That is the second harbour of the mediterrean sea. (The First is Marseille)
-
Gibraltar area,Lisbon area,Kerkyra (island),Sankt-Peterburg (Russia),Stockholm
-
if there is a port in the south there must be a second on an island like corsica or sardegna i think!
i like them and the isles are beatifull!!
greetz
-
I would like to see some portuguese harbours like Sines and Lisbon in the south, Aveiro in the center and Leixoes in the north. :).
-
I would like to see Scapa flow in Orkney, [north scotland].
-
How about some more US ports? I like the Pearl Harbor idea... as well as the whole island idea ;D but I don't know how feasable mapping the entire island would be.
What I want even more, however, is the Panama Canal. All of it! I'm actually quite surprised it isn't already added.
-
Oh I just thought of one! The Strait of Malacca! That way you can add billy clubs and bats to the game to fend off the pirates, and you could switch to action packed cut scenes where the captain faces off against the head pirate. That would be fun with multiplayer! ;D
-
Eilat port- Israel ;)
-
The ferry terminal in Birmingham, Britain :D
Stu
-
Piraeus port, Greece
:)
-
I would love to see all those habour in future addon or 2010... I'll show you guys picture, so I dont have to list them...
(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd18/Neelix79/map.jpg)
Why i want it? because i live in Michigan :-p and i has been at ludington where ferry ship there last 3 year ago captian was too kind to allow me and 3 my friend (all deaf) enter engine room and all stuff under belly ship it's awesome. even bridge :)
(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd18/Neelix79/Home-page-ship.jpg)
Very same this ship
if you want more info about ship? take look @ http://www.ssbadger.com/shiptour.aspx
-
Which areas (harbours) would you like to see added to Ship Simulator in the future?
Parts of the Mississippi River, including at least one Lock and Dam structure (with only a 600' lock) So something like Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota would be great. Obviously, we'd need a River Tow (push boat) and barges for a river scenairo to work.

Adding the Soo Locks would make it even better!
-
What about a harbour in Asia or Australia like Hong Kong, Singapore, Sidney etc etc because we now already have harbours from Europe and the US.
-
Barges and Rivers with locks would be nice.
But a complete world without having to load the next scenery would be my real dream come true. So you can go more or less anywhere where ships can go. Just like in MS FS.
-
The Great Lakes of USA. Including channels, locks, harbors, interactive industries, AND some ship models of the "1,000 footer" ore carriers. Also, as long as we're making a "Wish List," how about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Who could resist a chance to try and make the run that sunk her with all hands in 1975?
-
The dutch "waddenzee" or just any other sea which is very shallow and good navigation is required for using the channels.
Also better approaches for Rotterdam, Hamburg and New York
:)
-
I think the ports of Piraeus,the port of Patras, the old harbour of Mykonos in Greece
Genoa,Naples,Venice in Italy and
Barcelona,Malaga in Spain it would be a fine option for those who
love manoeuvre ferries and cruise ships on such enviroments
-
Sounds good... ;D
-
I would like to see Helsinki (Finland), Turku (Finland), Mariehamn (Ã…land/Finland), Stockholm (Sweden), Tallinn (Estland) St. Petersburg (Russia) + The Baltic sea as sea area, with country's that surrounds it...
-
You know all of these ports won't actually be put into the game you know? Ports takes a VERY long time to design and build and we're just making a thread rediculously long for no reason.
Sorry to sound like a nag but deep down we all know 99.8% of these will not make it into the game because of the time it takes to make them.
-
I think we're all aware of that, but at least giving ideas for what the next port could be... :)
Of course everyone would like to have their own living hood in the game, but that can't be possible.
My opinion is that Hamburg and Rotterdam are very lookalike, but phi phi island is something totally different. The more differents environments for navigation the better.

Do you think that would be possible?

Hi Ben :)
There will not be any new areas in the near future (this year) as they are busy with developing the multiplayer update, the 2006 add-on for 2008 and the vessel subscription service.
But I certainly want to see Hong Kong in the sim some day. I think we need some Asian harbours.

Hello Ben1337,
Where is the fun in watching anything at 16X anyway?
Look, get used to reality. Vstep isn't going to do the whole planet unless there is a good chance of selling enough copies to make it worthwhile.
The arguemen about whether there should be a SDK has been done to the death. Please, for the sake of sanity- move on.

Indeed, the question of a development kit needed to integrate new environments and/or ships has already been heavily discussed... :-[ and is still ongoing?

:D How many times do you want me to repeat my answer?!
No - it is not posible. Even if you somehow model the port for SS, VSTEP will not have the time needed to implement that area. Implementing objects and areas yourself is not possible. Please use the search function... ;)

Well your answer wasn't clear enough so I didn't understand it.

well I want to see in the future a route between Turku(Finland) and Stocholm(Sweden).
-
I wouldn't mind an old fashion ferry between the Greek islands.. ;)
-
I must confess ...I dont want to read 9 pages to write down my wishes so anyone else might have written before!
I´d like to have the Helsinki harbour and maybe something like a swamp (+the boats you need for driving through a swamp) or a kind of desert waterway like you find in Australia (+crocodiles!!!!LOL)
And some inland water navigation!!
Cheers Jonny

I think a scenery called “Rhodes(Gre) to Marmaris(Tur)†would be wonderful including beautiful Symi island and the gulf of Hisaronu. That would include several marinas, small islands and channels + open sea in a 30x30 nautical miles area. In real life also it is a favorited area for cruisers and sailors.

I would like to see the harbour of Singapore, because that's one of the largest harbours in the world.
-
Helsinki. :)
This port is challenging having the Kustaanmiekka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kustaanmiekka) (wikipedia-link. look at the Mariella-picture).
That is one narrow (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=60.145265,25.000248&spn=0.061954,0.160675&t=k&z=13&om=1) passage (google maps).
All the ships must go throught that at this moment, but new harbour for containers and tankers are going to be opened in a year, which is not a surprise. :D
The main port for cruiseships is also very tight place.
-
Also for a yachting kind of scenery Gulf of Fethiye would be good with several marinas, bays and islands in a 16x16 nautical miles environment:
(http://www.altugphoto.com/sailsim/FethiyeGulf.jpg)

what´s about VALDEZ (Alaska)
it seems to be a very difficult area and i will enjoy mission with big tugs like sherpa or supertug "NANUQ" and hersister, with coastguard, pilots and so on
-
I'd love to see the Panama canal, as that would test your helmsman skills negotiating such a waterway in something like vermas or pride of rotterdam :)
-
A lot of options I'd like:
Bosporus straigt. Very fun, especially when northwind current is fully working.
Panama Canal. Entering locks will be interesting as well.
Houston entrance - busiest place in North and South America
Singapore - probably the heaviest traffic in the starights.
Tokyo Bay - must see.
The Navigator (Compass), Russia
-
Hi, i would like to see "Ulstein Verft" in the game, its beautifully landscape and you have to watch out for small "islands":P

Joey,
Vermaas is Post Panamax, so you will have to wait until at least 2012, or later, before you can take her through.
There are some formidable difficulties in making working locks in the present development environment.

Lots more in fact, Pearl Harbour,Grotton,Norfolk,the beautifull Mediterranean,Palma de Mallorca,Barcelona,Valencia,Gibraltar,Rota,Naples,La Valetta,Port Said,the Suez canal.......ufffffff, would be wonderful if they could model the whole sea-land globe mass add on by add on . ;)

THESE ARE THE USUAL ROUTES OF TANKERS.

I for one would like to see St. Johns Harbour in there and more places from Canada such as Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. :)
-
I would like to see my local harbors of Ayr and Troon, (Scotland) as well as the isle of arran.
-
I think Lübeck ( Germany) to Hanko (Finnland) with roro schips are nice or Antwerpen to Hanko
-
Halifax in Nova Scotia and St John's in Newfoundland would be nice. You could continue up the St. Laurance to Quebec and Montreal etc.
-
I think that a trip to Stockholm(SWEDEN)wold be nice.There is several big(??)passengerships travelling betwin Stockholm-Ã…land/Helsingfors(Helsinki)/Ã…bo(Turku).
There are a lots of passengerships(small)traveling in Stockholms archipelago. A big company is "Waxholmsbolaget". If you live on an island, the only way out, is by "Waxholmsbolaget". There is about 20000 islands in Stockholm archipelago. And not always easy to navigate.
And its the paradise in the summertime(like so many other islands).
In wintertime we sit inside playing Ship Sim and try to forget that life "sucks".

Hi,
A complete simulation of the ferry service between the port of Dover and Calais would be intresting as this is the worlds busiest shipping route of the world. (Dover Strait).
Also the ports of Dunkerque Zeebrugge and Ostend would be a nice add-on.
The ferry compagnies on the Dover service are P&O, Norfolkline and Seafrance.
It would also more realistic with lightbuoys, harbourlights and -ships.
All these stuff are perhaps ideas for an Add-on for shipsim 2008, or a next release of Shipsim.
succes,
Henk.
-
Hi i thinc Valencia harbur would by nice ;D
-
As an Aussie Ship Simmer, I would definitely like to see Sydney Harbour included somewhere in a future release of Ship Sim.....
Argree with ziggy.... Sydney Harbour (and it's landmarks) is arguably the worlds most identifiable harbours!
-
I must agree with the Panama Canal suggestions. Could create many interesting missions there.
Or where I am - Straight of Juan de Fuca, which is between Vancouver Island and Seattle. Lots of islands, so lots of good missions could be made here too.
Fort Lauderdale would always be fun to a mega-yacht lover like myself too, come to think of it. My passion is 50' to 150' yachts, so this one's a natural for me.
-
Welcome to the forum, VanIsle,
I’m certainly with you when it comes to the Straight. I’d like to see BC Ferries in the sim, but doing the whole thing would be a massive job. It’s, after all, one of the largest systems on the planet.
Just the main service from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay and to Nanaimo would be a good start.
It would be nice to show folks that there are SuperFerries in this end of the world—though not quite as big as PoR.
I’d also like to see the Washington Ferries route from Anacortes through the San Juan Islands. Coming from Oregon, and visiting a friend in Monroe, that’s the route I most often take to Victoria and surrounding attractions.
Marty
-
The tropical Whitsunday Islands in Queensland would be nice, taking in the towns of Mackay, Airlie Beach & Shute Harbour
-
Cork Harbour,Ireland would be good,second largest harbour in the world after Sydney,15 mile trip from sea to furthest in dock, and a choice of oil terminal,cruise terminal,deep water bulk,ro ro,container terminal and plain cargo docks to choose from. Also channel very tricky with lots of turns. See here:http://83.71.196.166/map/ (http://83.71.196.166/map/)
-
How about Leicester harbour? Ready for global warming and rising sea levels :o apparently
Stu
-
Cork would be good.
Small harbour in Inverness with oil terminal and a low-ish bridge to get under. When the replica HM Bark Endeavour came in a few years back she had to remove the top of her mast to get under it

hi i think the island of st. barts would be great. i have gone there on a 6 month trip on my families 42foot cat. it would be great because there is always tons of mega yaghts there. we could make a mission where you have to dock a mega yaght inbetween one another
-
How about Leicester harbour? Ready for global warming and rising sea levels :o apparently
Stu
lol or even coventry :D
-
Aberdeen harbour would be a great adition.
-
What about the area around Peterhead.
-
I'd love to see Sault St. Marie Michigan and the lock system there. Also, could you develop a Great Lakes Ore boat? They are classic
-
I would like to see Plymouth. Plymouth has a lot of history (Drake, Pilgrim Fathers, etc). It has two main rivers; Tamar and Plym, the Dockyard, Brunell's bridge, Tamar Bridge. Plymouth is on the edge of Dartmoor, and has an interesting coastline with cliffs and beaches. Oh, and lots of forts, and Drake's Island!
I reckon Plymouth is a Winner...
Cheers,
Nick
-
Also, Portland/Weymouth would be great too - the site of the Sailing for the 2012 Olympics!
Another suggestion: a section of the coast deep in Cornwall. It would have several small fishing harbours, abandoned tin mine chimneys, awesome cliffs...
-
Cork Harbour,Ireland would be good,second largest harbour in the world after Sydney,15 mile trip from sea to furthest in dock, and a choice of oil terminal,cruise terminal,deep water bulk,ro ro,container terminal and plain cargo docks to choose from. Also channel very tricky with lots of turns. See here:http://83.71.196.166/map/ (http://83.71.196.166/map/)
Cork second largest? >:( I always thought that was Poole Harbour! ;) Cork is a lovely harbour with an intresting entrance and with Whitegate Refianry and oil terminal inside the lower harbour would make an intresting harbour. Sailed in and out there many times on a handy tanker or two.... ;D

It's probably too much to even dream about, but I would like to see a world similar to Microsoft's "Flight Simulator". With tools to build your own ships, harbours, and scenerys. Online weather updating so you could use realtime weather, and have the ability to sail any ship to any harbour in the world. The original game would have a few generic ships so copywrite wouldn't be an issue, the fans could make there own ships using programs like 3Dmax or Gmax and use textures they choose.
Sailing a huge passenger liner from Naples to Los Angeles, real time, real weather, with a passenger program like FSPassenger would be the ultimate ship simulator!
-
A couple of suggestions, I would like to see Portsmouth harbour work properly, at the moment only the fast cat and smaller vessels can enter without grounding.
I would also like to see the Clyde and it's approaches (Loch Long, Holy loch, Gareloch and the Kyles) modelled
A West of Scotland Island ferry run would be magnificant, e.g. Kennacraig to Port Ellen.

Hi cjordan:
The subject has been discussed at length.
To add the ability to do a meaningful long sea voyage would involve a massive development effort on the part of VSTEP. For one thing it would require a spherical environment instead of the 10 nm square flat environments currently used. Also, to support the activities on the bridge during a sea transit requires navigational plotting facilities, improved RADAR simulation, moving weather systems along with access to weather reports, and many other features that are not implemented in the present sim.
Most of those who ask for this also want an autopilot and/or 16X time acceleration so that they don’t actually have to endure the trip.
Before they are willing to commit the resources to such a program, I think VSTEP would need to be convinced that a significant number of customers would actually make use of those features.
A test—designed for that purpose—has shown that the number of users who would complete a long sea transit mission, even one lasting less than five hours, is 1 in 77 downloads. The number showing no interest at all is much higher.
I think this is a dead issue, at least for the foreseeable future.
Regards
Marty

I would like to see Singapore, but mainly I preffer the santos port it´s the biggerst port in south america the traffic is quite big as rotterdam but no inland vessel´s. This port is supplyed but the city of sao paulo where´s the biggerst industrial city of the South America is located. there 45% of the brazilian exportations depart from santos.
The port of Santos is located at the margim of the Santos River, where are located ship yards, immigrant bridge, Santos brazil Conteiner terminal at the rigth side of the river, T37 libra´s Container Terminal and Santos Tecon Conteiner Terminal at the left side, plywin general cargoes terminal, brasreefer and Sadia reefers Terminals and 4 ferry services along the river and just besides to santos at the north part at the sea side are the Sao sebastião city with ilhabella island where the Biggerst Petrobras Pretolium terminal is located.
i can´t forghet the Environment aroun of the santos river and at the coast line between santos and São sebastião with mountains covered of virgin forest and amazing beachs around.
::)

Mmmm, didn't know we are restricted to 10 square NM. Oh well, that knocks crossing from Dover to Calais with AI trafic passing up/down the strait on the head. Pitty!. Regards, Brian
-
Well how about the Ports of Dover and Calais with an English channel section is the middle. So those people who can't manage a 90 minute crossing don't have to do one.
I would suggest strongly that Vstep consider Dover and Calais as these appear to be the most requested ports that appear constantly on this forum.

Can be nice to add the strict of Messina with the harbour of "Porto San Giovanni" and "Messina"
This is the ferries routes.

-
I would love to see Dover Port Or The Landing Stage in Liverpool along with 12 quays.
-
I strongly agree with you. It would be loads of fun and offer many more mission profiles
I also think you should include Guernsey and the Channel Islands as the boats (Condor Ferries) which go from Portsmouth/Poole to St Malo stop off here as well so I think it would make a reat addition to see where I live in the game. I think the boats will be awesome.
-
gothenburg would be awsome!
-
I agree gunwharf i think there should be the port CHERBOURG they should also make a Brittany Ferries ship so peeps can do the ferrie crossing PORTSMOTH to CHERBOURG. you get to cross the channel which will be fun because stormy.
see yha guys ;)
-
Norway Norway Norway!!! ;D ;D ;D
The game does already have a part of North Sea added. Think of all the oil platform and all the PSV/AHTS missions that can be made. Think about the fjords with the awesome nature and Lofoten in the north that just is a spectacular view. And at least all the freaking storms and sea conditions at the edge of Stadt where Hurtigruten have huge troubles sometimes just to get trough.
And then you have the beautiful south coast where you see the flat part of Norway. There are many big ports in this country, like the ports in Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Ã…lesund, Tronheim...you name it.
I think that all this can be sponsed by the Norwegian Government if VSTEP ask them for it ;D :D

Poole Harbour.
I used to sail into and out of this harbour many times in the 1980s.
-
Poole Harbour nice place :)
-
i would love to see fishguard and rosslare harbour as well as dover and calais. I would also like to have the ability to free roam around any coast in the world and see different sights instead of the same ones all the time.

Sadly, that would recquire a lot of time and programming :-\

What about to have some ITALIAN PORTS?
there are no in the game...

I doubt that will happen as I expect VSTEP's deal with Red Funnel will have it so that they are the only car ferry & fast ferry operator accross the solent in SS2008.
It would be good though!
-
id like to see some part of scotland miby the northchanel or sumthing

dutchharbour (deadliestcatch)
-
Poole Harbour nice place :)
i agree Poole Harbour is a lovely place! Learnt to sail there as i grew up over looking it, and later on i took several ships in and out of the harbour!
Though as a good place for the game would be the Dover Straights. Several ferry routes crossing and the TSS lanes going through it! Lots of hard work for sailors to do!
-
i like to have North-Eastcanal from the Northsea to the Baltic,
and maybe more inland canals and rivers with little harbours.
but in SS08 are only European and American areas maybe some area in Australia and China are nice too
-
i'd like to see the port of Amsterdam ,with the northsea channel and port of IJmuiden..
-
I would like to see some nordic ports.
Like Helsinki (Finland) http://maps.google.fi/maps?f=q&hl=fi&geocode=&q=helsinki&ie=UTF8&ll=60.148341,24.942398&spn=0.083737,0.2314&t=h&z=12&om=1
or Hamina and Kotka (Finland) http://maps.google.fi/maps?f=q&hl=fi&geocode=&q=kotka&ie=UTF8&ll=60.457218,27.100525&spn=0.331796,0.925598&t=h&z=10&om=1

im a new starter on shipsim but i have my own real boat in grimsby fish dock i would like to see if any one could make that port and grimsy royal dock for ship simulator
thanks
-
I would like to see the any port of latvia but most of them port of liepaja web: http://www.portofliepaja.lv/lv/?id=214 this is not very big but very intresting port and with naval port
-
and also there is very old dry docks
-
Barcelona, of course.
-
Plus if you modelled Melbourne in Victoria and Devonport in Tasmania you could run through Bass Strait which are some of the roughest and toughest waters to cross in the world :D
Tom
I would like Bass Strait with the Spirit of Tasmania.
-
I would like to see the Ostsee (Baltic Sea) Harbours like Rostock, Kiel, Travemünde, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallin etc.
Would be good for Ferry Boats as well !!!!
-
Although Barcelona is one of the most beautiful harbors and cities in Spain, I would also like to see Palos de la Frontera; historically speaking it is arguably the most famous port in Spain.
It was from there that the Pinzon brothers began the first European voyage to the Americas. It was the birthplace of my namesake Martin Alonso Pinzon—Master of the Pinta.
Marty
-
I saw it had already be mentionned, but I add a vote for some zones of Norway ... a big port, like Bergen, with one or two fjord ...
That would be a very nice zone for small ferrys (like red eagle), and maybe a new dynamic ship with one of the new Hurtigrute ?
-
maybe la harbor
-
:D
Hong Kong would be a good place, as Hong Kong Victoria harbour is one of the world busiest port. Beside cargo ship, a lot of passenger ship visiting here every year.
I suggest to build a scenery of Hong Kong, Macau (oriental Vegas) and Pearl Delta area.

A small area with a lot of traffic and a place for ferry - lovers is Helsingoer (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden). Today, there is 3 ferryroutes between these to cities. The crossing takes only 20 min and the scenery is small, just 5 x 10 km. Almost every traffic between Europe and Scandivia goes via that route and it is a close water from the North Sea to the Baltic. I have worked in the Danish Navy and belive me, a foggy day in the strait is big working.

-
maybe İzmir alsancak harbour ? seem not to be possible :S
-
I would like to see some routes with locks, e.g. the Rhone Rover in France or the Panama Canal. If the Rhone, then I would also like to see some of the 110 m cruise boats specially built for this environment, like the River Royale, e.g. (Uniworld built in Arnhem, NL). If the Panama, then we need a Panamax container carrier, no doubt!!

Antwerp harbor !!

Helsinki. :)
This port is challenging having the Kustaanmiekka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kustaanmiekka) (wikipedia-link. look at the Mariella-picture).
That is one narrow (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=60.145265,25.000248&spn=0.061954,0.160675&t=k&z=13&om=1) passage (google maps).
All the ships must go through that at this moment, but new harbour for containers and tankers are going to be opened in a year, which is not a surprise. :D
The main port for cruiseships is also very tight place.
Here is more better picture (again, googlemaps). Marseille is very popular in MP being so compact, this shows you how utterly compact Port of Helsinki (http://www.portofhelsinki.fi/english/) is:
-
Greetings,
If i open that picture,it seems to be a very nice spot,to sail in.
I can imagine,that in the game.If you are sailing with the Latitude,you're going to the oil area,...aso...
Very nice harbour.

Hi
I agree, that would be a really nice potential environment! ;D

Thanks for your comments :)
I made little correction to the pic, showing the real line to the port, not the one google made up. :)
-
Had another thought - I know I've mentioned the Humber but to make it better would be Immingham amd Hull docks and having to lock in to the dock!! :) Seen it done many, many thimes in real life so would be good to have a go myself!!! ;D

Approach of Gothenburg with Gothenburg harbor

For all of us Canadians I would enjoy Vancouver north up the coast to Alaska and/or up the Saint Laurence into the Great Lakes.

Well I would enjoy numerous different enviroments. Now What I would like is the same thing that you can do in Flight Sim just fly around the world openingly, I guess THis will take some Time to create as obviously it would take a hell of a lot longer to do this in a ship. There will obviously be some obstacles in the way the shere size of the map would probably take a lot of time to load up. However it would be nice if VSTEP could release different enviroments in different sizes. For example:
South England
North England
Scotland
Wales
Ireland
Northen Europe
Asia
etc etc you get the picture (I hope)
If VSTEP was to release these in seperate packs then everyone could buy what area they would like to play in. It would make Ship sim A truly brilliant Simulator not that it is already.
I'm all for realism as its the way forward, so to be honest any enviroment with real life scenary is welcomed on my ship sim
-
helisinki hanko rauma travemüne ( lübeck) or nord ostsee canal
-
swansea and cardiff in wales in the uk swansea has a great marina and cardiff new bay area would look great
-
Helsinki, Finland. I think that was good map to Ship Simulator.
-
I would love to see Boston, which could be connected to New York. I would also love to see the Puget sound area including Seattle and Victoria, maybe even to Vancouver. Talk about being able to spend weeks sailing in one area.
Kevin
-
Liverpool, England. Bootle Docks, Garston Docks, Birkenhead Docks, Eastham + Manchester Ship Canal, and the Mersey Bar (Irish Sea).
-
Helsinki would be great... or Tallinn!
-
Totally agree with supafly!!!
Vstep may not have the resources that Microsoft do but i think they should focus on releasing the next version of SS not with more ports but with ports that you can sail between. Why not just have just a europe "sail around area" so that you can sail from hamburg to southampton and round to Rotterdamn without a mission editor and it reloading. at least then only with Europe you have limited the area and reduced the workload then releasing add ons for N. America... Asia and Oceania etc. However i do think that saying a "flight sim" start here and fly feature will not be available for some time... but then i dont work for Vstep so i cant tell ya!
As far as individual ports... Hong Kong sounds good with the tricky currents and the largest container terminal in the world and i fancy somewhere like Syndey Australia or Fort laurderdale Florida... a notible non-european port just for a little chage in scenery.
-
Very true! Having a few reasonably close ports to sail between, that would also work for the multiplayer environment, would be great. One of the problems we have here on this side of the pond though is the great distance between ports of any significnace. Just look at Boston and New York. These are certainly two of the largest ports in the North East U.S., but to sail between them takes at least 20-hours at a reasonalby realistic cruising speed. That does not take into account docking and undocking iterations. As for me I would dearly love to be able to sail between two ports online. No matter where they were. ::)

Kevin

Sydney or Newcastle(Australia)

Which areas (harbours) would you like to see added to Ship Simulator in the future?
maybe falmouth or avonmouth (more uk places)

How about an area of the Greek Islands.
The Greeks split their islands comveniently into groups eg Ionic, Cyclades, Sporades, Dodecanese etc. Another option could be just to do Crete as there are numerous bays and harbours all around it.
With the ships we have at the moment the PoR could do the main ferry routes and the Red Jet or Hovercaft could run the Flying Dolphin routes but some island ferry size passenger ships would be good(We seem to be either very large or very small)
-
fishguard and rosslare and dover
-
I will like the port of shanghai, pudong. :D
-
i would like to the balearic and canarie islands :)
-
1. Extend Padstow to at least Port Isaac so we can sail between ports.
2. Milford Haven (S.Wales) - a huge sea inlet with many docks and a deepwater oil terminal.
-
Vancouver. The largest port in Canada and one of the largest in the world - with a great harbour layout and mooring basin and much more.
Of course I have absolutely no bias in stating the above. ;)
-
I think Southampton to Freemantle Route maybe, it is quite long though the MV Funchal does this route with ports of call at: Lisbon, Messina, Piraeus, Santorini, Rhodes, Limassol, Port Said, Sharm-El-Sheik, Aqaba, Port Victoria, Praslin Is., Port Louis. alot of ports but i would like mainly Fremantle and the MV Funchal i've been on it at new years very nice
-

Yes pleas make Vancouver, then i can tace a quick stop in Vancouver island and visit my family again with ship this time and rent a car and drive to squamitsh and visit the rest of my family ;D
Last time was with plain and that was not fun, turbulence 50% of the trip
Vancouver harbor it's a nice harbor i think to try your skills out in and it's big ;) werry BIG

I would really like to see one of the Norwegian fjords in the next Ship Sim. The Geirangerfjord would be the best option, as it is the most popular fjord when it comes to cruise-ships.
-
I'd love to see Boston, with an LNG ship of course!
-
Living down here anyway, I'd really like to see the approaches to, the river at Milford Haven (there are a few oil terminals / marinas are there).
However, what would also be great would be the upper reaches of the Bristol Channel, including the likes of Cardiff, Newport, and the docks around Bristol as well - navigating the Severn would be the challenge there with the larger ships :)
-Alex
-
Yipee - another vote for Bristol Channel and Milford Haven - great areas with plenty of scope Larger ships for Milford Haven and medium ones for BC the whole lot in one environment would be mind blowing (maybe mine's blown already ) :P
-
How about the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. It's pretty big and complex. Just arrived back from holiday after sailing out of it. Aboard the Pride of York to Hull.

I would like to see that the scenery of the Northsea would have the "Eurogeul". This is a man build traffic lane for bulkcarriers and other big vessels that are draft restricted and are inbound for Rotterdam. The "Eurogeul" is 56 km long and has a depth of 23 meters. Big bulkcarriers like the Berge Stahl have to take this route. It would be nice to navigate a big bulkcarrier through this lane.

Poole Harbour would be great. One of the largest natural harbours in the world, busy commercial port and lots of interesting corners for leisure sailors.
-
I would like to have some canals.
Caledonian canal,
Suez-canal,
Panama-canal
Kiel-canal
The "Strait of Magellan" ... a great place and it would be possible to have no only land, even icebergs would be possible there.
Sydney harbour of course!

A cruise ship mission from Stockholm to Mariehamn would be fun.
-
hi all
how about goole (lincs) and the humber with hull in it and go upto the spurn head in the north sea.
i would play that all the time.

Anything on the English Channel would be fine by me
e.g. Dover to Calais or Portsmouth to Cherburg/St Malo/Caen etc. VStep should bring out add on packs offering certain routes ans ships eg Western Channel V1.1 which would include scenery areas such as Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth and Le Harve, Cherburg and St Malo etc and also the ships you would find on these routes
That would be wicked!
It would be good to have the whole of the isle of wight in so that you could go out past the needles.

Reading different advertisements and messages from Vstep for work placement I find out that the next Ship Simulation will be Ship Simulator 2010. Vstep planned a lot of new features including underwater worlds and lifeforms as (killer) whales, sharks, dolphins, penguins and birds.
To allow the creation of unlimited environments Vstep planned a scenery creation tool for the Ship Simulator game. This will concede the gamers to create their own harbours and waters (based on sea maps) and share their creations with the rest of the Ship Simulation community.

Sorry Dave, Goole is in East Yorkshire :) but I do agree it would be good to have the Humber in the game, only problem is only the tugs and pleasure boats would be able to sail there - even "Agile Solution" is too big for Goole.
-
Pembrokeshire is a lovely place which would be nice on SS, perhaps some of the east Irish coast could be on there and we could do the Pembroke-Rosslare or Fishguard-Rosslare rout.
-
Souther Finland like Turku, Helsinki, Porvoo harbours! Would be great scenery for roaming around... (It really IS beautiful!!!) :D
-
That's for sure!!! Haven't they any contacts to VIKING Line? Would be great...
-
Gothenburg, Frederikshavn, Stockholm, oslo, and Helsinki, and the sorrunding seas.
-
Helsinki - Tallinn route... or Stockholm archipelago!
-
What are u gonna do there?
Maybe, trying to pull out a ship that is stuck in the ice berg... etc etc.
-
Helsinki - Tallinn route... or Stockholm archipelago!
...or the WHOLE baltic sea!
-
the french coast so can run between england and france
-
I think the Swedish coast can be nice or the sea between Norway, Denmark and Sweden (just to be fair against my neighbors so I don't step on someones feet here..) :) Then the excellent suggesters of Color Line vessels have more valid salt to digg up when they suggest vessels like Color Fantasy, Magic.. or all the ferries that travels in this area (Scanlines etc). Personally it will hopefully give the small community of Norwegian Ship Simulator users a growth in the player mass since plenty of us still stick to the "old fashion" Virtual Sailor game.
Simple summary: A Scandinavian environment! (for the sake of us in the North) ;) :P
-
I would like to see the whole of the mersey river from the Irish Sea past New Brighton and straight along to Manchester Docks then I would use this route all of the time.

If I could choose:
1. Sydney - because I have been there on a frequent service from the United States via New Zeeland...
2. Öresund area - from the Baltic Sea up to Kullen with Copenhagen, Malmö, Landskrona, Helsingör, Helsingborg...
3. Stockholm - with access to the Baltic Sea...
Well, I think I couldn't choose.. ::)

-
Plymouth sound :
have you seen the turn at drakes island that all the navy traffic has to make , then followed by the oh so helpful narrows , not to metion all the comercail traffic comcing in and out of the rive plym , whilst avoiding every yacht in sight because they couldnt see you there :)
-
That's a good choice... but I doubt it would happen unless they could be pursuaded to put military ships in it.
As for yachts... I'm sorry, but if they're too stupid to see a great big warship coming up on them, then it gets their dna out of the gene pool of society... qed ;)

Hi there I just read this topic subject and comments and I would put my part into this topic.
I would like to see the following in either on a online downloadable patch or a new expansion pack.
1. Scotland / Glasgow's River Clyde / Scotland's West Coast
2. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
3. Norway / Sweden / Bergen
4. Stranrear, Scotland - Belfast, Northern Ireland
5. At some point I would like every single port and harbour that is posible in the world.
6. Who can not forget Dover and Hull harbours/ports.
Please note that I would not like the idea of naval base locations on Shipsim 2008.
-
I would love to have Stockholm, maybe Tallin and the baltic sea.(Allso Helsingfors/Helsinki if possible)
Would allso be fun to have Göteborg-Karlskrona, and denmark area :P
Its hard to say, but deffenently Stckholm!!!!!
REG. KEN83

I'm DYING to see Padstow in the game... :D
EDIT: Wow! it IS in the game :o ;)
-
Pearl Harbour, Shanghai Deep ocean port 32 km out to sea, phi phi islands with a pontoon longer than 2 milimetres, singapore, tokyo and many many more......... I'll vocie them when i have time!
-
Dunno if someone sayd it already, bt VEnice would be a good trial for u all.. definetly a difficult port... to do it by real! ;D

Venice sounds nice! Or Napoli so you at least can take barges with a lot of garbage from the mafias ;)
I have been at both places (as a young tourist) and I support the Italians if they want this in the game ;D

Why is not possible to make the game like MS Flight Simulator? Explorable world seas -i think it's gonnabe easier than the landscape of the world in a flight sim-, moddable ships, user made addons (ships,harbors) etc...
Anyway some Mediterranean ports, Trieste for example?
-
Why is not possible to make the game like MS Flight Simulator?
Because MS Flight Simulator wasn't made within 2 years. Beside of that VSTEP would need a lot of resources and world data to make such stuff (because I don't think that Microsoft would give them the game engine of MS Flight Simulator for free..). Besides of this - it's extremely complicated to make a round Earth in the game. In Ship Simulator it all rest on a planar surface.
The game development world is much harder than you know ;)
-
Venice sounds nice!
have a look to venice'maps and procedures to get in.. ;D

1.Panama Canal (Hopefully with animated locks in future versions)
2.Hong Kong
-
New to the forums, so sorry if a bit late or not found a previous post.
Having done it many times as skipper and also privately, I would wet myself to have the tidal Thames from the Royal Docks/Thames Barrier to Tower Pier/London Eye/Westminster Pier.
-
I would love to see all of Condor Ferries ports that they travel to as i have been on this lots of times and believe everbody would love this
failing this i would love to see the east sid of the channel island of guernsey and all of a small island west of guernsey called herm
running between these two is a ferry service called travel trident
this would be so amazing in game and i would love you for it
-

Hey tomvidelo! I live in Guernsey and I mentioned that I wanted Condor Ferries on this as well. I hadn't thought of theTrident though. Maybe a 2 vessel mission - one from Weymouth or Poole on Condor and then to Herm with the trident!!!
-
To be honest, the river Severn in south Wales.
provide the ports of Barry, Penarth marina and the cardiff bay area including the port.
All with working locks.
Would be ace.
Also i do agree with other, why not allow user editable features like create your own ships/ports would make the game bigger than it is and the good user creations could be included in the next versions.
makes good sence for all including vstep.
-
1. Straits of Juan De Fuca/Puget Sound. (VTS)
2. Panama Canal
3. Chesapeake Bay
4. Hong Kong, China
-
HI, ;)
If I can make a choice I will choice for hong-kong and panama canal , and sorry if I have two choice but this two area are very nice for to sail.
Bye

Here's 2 pics of the powerboat pointing at the old Cunard dock, Peir 54: (the second shows an oddly shaped dock so that one can find it)
-
1: Terschelling-Vlieland-Harlingen and the other way around.
2: Anderlecht Harbour
3: Hong Kong
That are my favourites.
-
Sydney would be awesome, it would be good to sail some of the great ships on the game under the harbour bridge, and past the opera house, sydnet 4 sure
-
sidny i think is coming in the next ship sim
-
Rosyth - Scotland
Stranraer - Scotland
Troon - Scotland
Very close to home for me ;)
You allready have 2 ports in the game from ENGLAND so why not add one or two from Scotland :)
And also
Belfast would be nice as well
-
I'd like to see the Peir 54 arch way.
-
Port of Los Angeles
-
i would like to see the great lakes harbours and canals. ;D
-
they dont even have all the mojor ports it will be a long time before we see lake and canals
-
Hi all~
On the new Ship Simulator,i'm very want to see that have a Hong Kong China on this game.Because this is very nice to sail at the Hong Kong Victoria harbour.~
Emil.
-
i hate to say it buddy but sydney is nicer ;)
-
sidny is allready being put into ship simulator 20010
i would like the grand union canal to be added
-
In the Solent - Bucklers Hard, Bembridge, The Hamble
The Thames from Windsor to Margate
Fowey
Exe
Gibraltar docks
-
dont go over board there i dont think rivers will be added untill i am very old we only have a handfull of port ingame so dont hold your breath
(before any of you go i am allready old i am not ;D)

If I could choose:
1. Sydney - because I have been there on a frequent service from the United States via New Zeeland...
2. Öresund area - from the Baltic Sea up to Kullen with Copenhagen, Malmö, Landskrona, Helsingör, Helsingborg...
3. Stockholm - with access to the Baltic Sea...
Well, I think I couldn't choose.. ::)
i think i whoud chose nr. 2 the øresund or in SWE : öresund becurse there is many ferrys and transport ships in that route and in nr 3 stockhold there is only the main lan and it leadt out to the sea so nr 2 it whoud be nice cpoenhagen harbor is a verynice harbor with nyhavn and so on :D and there is about 7 islands in aria nr. 2 so NR 2 YEAAAAAAAR
-
battleships, subs, aircraft carriers with lots of big guns, so we can blow each other out of the water.
as for new harbours, how about sydney australia, singapore, suez canal, panama canal

i would like to see dover with a sea cat and a Norfolk line ferry! excellent!
-
Goodmorning,
Have you thought about the Panama channel ?
Coen
-
Ey all,
I would like to suggest also a port in the Far East... And I saw it had been mentioned before... Hong Kong... Must be lovely to sail around and between the islands there and up the river to Guangzhou!
Other then that would be nice also to see the Kiel Canal together with the beautiful landscape there...
Brgds,
-
St. Lawrence Seaway/ River?
It is quite challenging to navigate.
-
the red sea and suez channel
-
The Great Lakes
-
I would like to see an active oildfield environment, with well-head and production platforms and associated infrastructure. Certainly the offshore operations side of shipsim would benefit from a more realistic environment in which to operate.
-
Hi,
I'm sure others have mentioned it already but I would love to see Sydney Harbour added.
Went there last year on my honeymoon, so to be able to sail round it in Ship Simulator, under the harbour bridge and round to Darling Harbour would be great.
Scott
-
They're adding it next game
-
I would see Port of Helsinki.
Suomenlinna`s Kustaanmiekka can be though for the tankers and carferrys. :)
Heres couple of photos for the Helsinki.
First picture: Silja symphony passing Kustaanmiekka.
Second picture:Southern harbour of Helsinki. (Passenger ships)
Third picture:Western harbour of Helsinki.(Cargo and container ships)
-
how about boston harbour
-
The Scheldt - Port of Antwerp
The St.Johns River - Port of Jacksonville
The Sabine, Neches River - Port Arthur, Beaumont, and Orange Texas
The Columbia River - Port of Portland
The Mississippi River - Port of New Orleans
The Thames River - Port of London
The Delaware River - Port of Philadelphia
The St.Lawrence River - Port of Montreal, Port of Toronto
The Suez Canal
The Panama Canal
-
I hope more big harbors, and seas, that they're realistic size like in Flight simulator. ;D
-
I'd just like to see any new environments, since its been a while since any new ones have been developed. But i would gather SS09 will bring us lots of new stuff?
Jack.

I think some people are expecting too much :-\
But that is MY OPINION (Just in Case) and there isn't much info on SS2009 yet.
-
Expecting too much huh. You sure were expecting a lot on that topic I read posted by jemagnussen.
It's no fun when the rabbit has the gun.... lol
-
how about the largest port of u.s.a.? like st.louis
-
where's st louis ?
-
I thought los Angeles/Long Beach was the largest port in the U.S.
-
where's st louis ?
St.Louis is located in the state of Missouri. Midwest of the U.S.A. The port of St.Louis is the third largest in the midwest per the ports website.
-
thx, my geography's hopeless
cj
-
i would like to see the following environments in ship simulator:
North Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, Canada
Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada
-
most of canada then
-
no just those areas.
I ask because my 3 favorite ships travel between NS-NFLD for Marine Atlantic its just thast area
-
Anybody for Boston Mass.?
-
I would like an area with a short ferry route, about ten minutes crossing-time.
-
I would love Duluth, MN harbor to be in SS08.
-

were Titanic on France on her Voyage?.
Anyway it would be cool :D
-
Cherbourg, France
Queenstown, Ireland
To recreate Titanic's maiden voyage ;D
Yep, i support you on that one hehe :D ;D
I think Dublin Port would also be another nice environment, a lot goes on in Dublin Port, Ferries everywhere, since its one of the Republic of Ireland's main ports.
-
I would love to see the Port of Vancouver( http://www.portvancouver.com/ ). This would enable us to simulate the West Coast Trade between Canada and the US. Canada needs a little representation in Shipsim. The port of Vancouver is a scenic one also
Cheers,
-
Hi Sean,
How about BC Ferries from Tsawwassen to Nanaimo?
It’s a lot of effort to make the various environments, but I’d like to see the straits of Juan de Fuca / Georgia, including Victoria & Anacortes. One could then run a real ferry business!
Regards,
Marty
-
were Titanic on France on her Voyage?.
Anyway it would be cool :D
Yes
and for those places, we need their respective tenders: "SS Nomadic" for Cherbourg, and "America" and "Ireland" for Queenstown ;D
The Nomadic is still around :o
If memory serves, it's currently in Belfast.
We should also have the areas she was supposed to go on her return voyage, like Plymouth Sound, a painting of which she had in her 1st class smoking room, called "Plymouth Harbor", if I remember correctly.
-
I want to see the Oslo Fjord (Oslofjorden) :)
-
id like to see the port at Douglas
-
I want to see the Oslo Fjord (Oslofjorden) :)
or Bergen Fjord. (BergenFjorden) ;D
-
Also maybe Tasmaina And The Bass Strait (Extremely dangerous waters) might be kool for huge rogue waves.
Gday Mate.
How good would it be to sail the Sydney to Hobart. Considering there isnt much to do on Boxing day we could race them realtime. ::)
Or even sail the Whitsundays or take the old Fairstar on a cruise to Noumea, Fiji, Solomon Islands etc.. and throught Boula Havari Passage (Spelling is wrong i know) and pass by Armadee Island (Lighthouse on the reef near Noumea) and then pull up at Norfolk Island Sail down to the North Island of NZ over to Port Melbourne then up the East coast and then sail in through Sydney Heads under the bridge and park it at the old casino.
Maybe someone out there will work on Australia/Pacific Islands.
One Day.
-
Gday denmo71,
Yes, Bass Strait is an interesting place, but it won’t be as much fun until the new sea model is available in Ship Simulator 2009.
In the present sea model, wave height is limited to 4 meters for two reasons: The model is not able to produce realistic waves much higher than that, and the ship dynamics can’t handle higher waves and produce realistic ship reactions.
More important for the Sydney-Hobart, wind does not act directly on ships, so sailing vessels have no realistic power. That, along with the need for a more complex set of user controls, is why there are no player sailing yachts in the present simulator.
Hopefully, 2009 may see a much better sea model, along with a chart table and a set of tools.
Regards,
Marty

Hi guys,
I'm sorry it has been said it most likely has but my suggestion is Dover (Europes busiest ferry port).
Boy i'd love to sail my P&O into there ;D.

Norfolk Virginia. Ive been there and they have the biggest natural harbor Ive ever seen. From what ive seen they have A coal pier, four container terminals that are huge (mearsk has a terminal there that we recently rode by and there was a container ship bigger than the vermass there loading) From what Im to understand they also have some of the biggest container crains in the world. The only downfall to Norfolk is they have The biggest naval base in the world, and also a naval museam (which Ive been to) that has a Iowa class battle ship. And being that this is on a river the smaller ships can go all the way up to richmond Va. Finaly they have lots of drydock companys, There is even one that built one of the counteys aircraft carriers in a city called NewPort News
-
Definately
The Port Of Felixstowe!!
-
I would like to see the Dover straight. it should include Dover, calais, Dunqurique,folkstone and bologne. That way we can cross the channel in ferries to any port in France and start our own company's.

Has anyone thought of Liverpool? Has anyone suggested this before? South Hampton is one of the environments already built into Ship Simulator - but what about England's other big and world famous port? LIVERPOOL, with the river Mersey and and its approach channel from Liverpool bay has so much to offer in the way of cruising, towing, docking and anchoring. All types of vessels can be accomodated here. I've lived here all my life, so, of course, I'm biased. But, it is a world famous port and I'm amazed that no-one has considered this before.
-
eyrebrush, Nice photo of HMS "Ark Royal" at the new cruise liner terminal. I have one very similar, also "Queen Elizabeth 2" on the new berth. Like you, as a Liverpudlian born and bred and having sailed for many years with a famous old LIverpool Company, I would very much like to see my home port in the simulator. It could be arranged that it was a high spring tide and all the lock gates were open to avoid the problem of locking in and out of the docks. Oh, by the way, it has been suggested before by a number of us Scousers.
-
i would like to see more container missioins possibly around australia if that makes sense
-
PLEASE,
Add the beautfull RIO DE JANEIRO
Regards to all.
-
I've said it before and i'll say it again. Port Of Hull, so we can do the realistic route with Pride of Rotterdam.
-
Port of Amsterdam/IJmuiden with a DFDS Seaways vessel would be great!
Newcastle GB would be fantastic too, nice river tyne harbor.
-
Istanbul Bosphorus
-
Like I said before on another post, I would like to see a couple of Canadian ports. It makes me mad often that Vstep didn't add any Canadian ports to SS08. Aren't they forgetting about us Canadians? I mean, there are ports on SS08 in the United States but none of their northern country, Canada.
-
I join TTE in asking for Canadian ports. There is no excuse for overlooking Churchill.
The main environments for BC Ferries would be a good place to begin.
-
yes, i definitley agree, and the Marine Atlantic(Nova Scotia to Newfoundland ferry compnay) docks wouldn't be a bad either.
-
Malmö-Travemünde-Rostock-Helsingborg-Helsingör-Aarhus-Gedser-Rödby-Puttgarden-Trelleborg-Stockholm-Oslo-Kielchannel
-
Very simply, not in any numerical order, these areas/harbours:
1. Area of Puget Sound, bounded by harbours of Vancouver, BC - Victoria, BC - Seattle/Tacoma, USA.
2. The Aegean Sea area, bounded by harbours of Piraeus, Greece - Crete - Izmir, Turkey.
3. The Ariatic Sea area, bounded by harbours of Trieste, Italy - Split or Dubrovnik in the Balkans - Taranto, Italy.
4. The south coast of Japan, from Tokyo/Yokohama to Nagoya.
5. The Strait of Malacca, from Singapore to Kelang, Malaysia
6. The Seto Aikai Sea, from Beppu on Kyushu Island to Osaka, but including all of Shikoku Island so you have a choice of an inside or an outside route.
7. Hong Kong Harbour, with islands.
8. Sydney or Melbourne Harbours.
9. both New Zealand Islands.
10. Casablanca, Morocco to Algiers, Algeria - including the Rock of Gibraltar and Cadiz, Spain.
11. Any of the islands in the Caribbean Sea.
12. Perhaps Rio de Janiero. Some South American ports.
That's all I want. Later, I may want more.... ;D
Update: CANADA! Don't forget our friends Bob and Doug!
-
How about Cape Town. ???
-
How about Cape Town. ???
I thought about Cape Town. There's a problem: what other great harbour can serve as a destination? Durban is too far away I think, and Dar-es-Salaam is REALLY too far.
-
I would really like to see the port of Miami. That is a great ferry passage way and and ideal cruise ship port ;). It also collects cargo from ships. But it is mainly a cruise ship terminal.
-
LA/Long beach harbour, Columbia river at the pacific ocean. :o
-
Gulf of Finland. Helsinki and Tallinn. Trip takes only 2 hours between these two capitals by fast ferry (Tallink Star/Superstar/Viking XPRS).
-
How about the St. Lawrence Seaway from the 1000 islands region of northern New York State to Montreal, Canada? It's approx. 1-4 miles wide (varies) and 187 miles long. It provides the opportunity to introduce locks and power generation dams to Ship Sim. It is also is a very challenging area to navigate as it has many navigation obstacles as well as high recreational traffic.
Just some thoughts,
Jake
-
It would be cool to have the panama canal, Miami Harbor, and other big harbors

Istanbul Bosphorus
I Second this one! What a fun place to sail a ship! And I speak from experience!

The Port of Vancouver Canada is the largest port in Canada and I believe the second largest on the west coast of North America. The Port of Vancouver includes the area in and around . . . the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River. If the map were to be enlarged the area could also include the nearby Gulf Islands Archipelago and Vancouver Island as well as the San Jaun Archipelago and Puget Sound to the south in the United States. The Port of Vancouver receives tankers, cargo ships, freighters and cruise ships from all around the world and is also a major hub for Seaspan and BC Ferries.
-
2. The Aegean Sea area, bounded by harbours of Piraeus, Greece - Crete - Izmir, Turkey.
Crete would be awesome seeing as I've been there twice.. :)

The Port of Vancouver receives tankers, cargo ships, freighters and cruise ships from all around the world and is also a major hub for Seaspan and BC Ferries.
Bring on the Canadian ports!!

Hi all,
I’d Love to see Piraeus, Santorini (Thira) (though small), Istanbul and Alexandria – or even Port Said.
There are of course hundreds of others – but most of those I’d name would be in the Aegean and I suppose too small to be of interest to VSTEP or perhaps other users of SS …
It would be Wonderful to have Very Large ‘mid-Atlantic’ and ‘Mediterranean’ water ‘environments’ however – and great to see Gibraltar & be able to pass through the straights to have a transit-point between the Med and the Atlantic.
Best regards,
Chrystine
-
Istanbul would indeed be a good one to have. A most intersting and challenging harbour.
Perhaps this one might make it into Ship Simulator 2010. ;)
-
Some fantastic scenery there as well.
Could make it a fun, interesting and enjoyable challenge for those who do the ‘scenery design’ work!
(As would Venice, or even Malta). :)
:)
Best,
Chrystine

I was chatting to the incredibly talented Environment Developer at Vstep recently, and Istanbul came up. Too early for any promises, but i'm full of hope!
(Maybe the praise above will help ;D )

Hi Terry
I Think Jersey and Guernsey would be good especially for a fast cat.

this is good news :) :)
-
Any new ports would be nice :)
But, I think the Port Of Fleetwood is a nice interesting place, after all, I live right next door :D
What I think would be good about it in ship simulator is the fact that, the channel is VERY deep, and will take ferries (e.g. Stena Pioneer, Stena Leader, and other ships that come now and again) also, the marina is further up, where all the yachts, cruisers are etc. then there's a bridge which can be raised to let the Trawlers through to the smaller harbour where all the trawlers are based, then all the building's are around there that sort out and sell the fish etc.
I can also take lots of picture's if any of you are interested ;D
Jack.

Funny how the Dutch would like more Dutch harbours, the ami's have 2 already and would like more ami-harbours.. the english already have 2 harbours, but want more... hahahaha
and i've got a hangover.. so not really sure if i counted correct..
Lets hope Vstep surprises one of you lot completely with a new country as there's lots to choose from:
http://www.ports.com/ and i guess there should be more; without instructions!
How about we stop arguing for this weekend and just populate an online server for a change?
I miss the windows of sailing with the guys on this forum alot.. what times? hahaha

The tidal races around Alderney would be fun to navigate. But we need todes and currents in SS for that!
Jersey would be fun also, with the sills in the marinas, but again, that would need to be added to SS for it to show up.
-
Jersey would be fun also,
Especially the Hackensack River through Secaucus.
-
Hmmm.... You Colonials! Wonderful sense of humour/humor.

dover england

I think the great lakes and thier ports would be cool especially with all the lock systems.
Possibly some eastern asian ports as well, but i don't really know of any in peticular.
I liked the port of sydney idea as well.
And finally I have to support Port of vancouver being it is home.
Unfortunately I think the gulf islands would loose something without tides they would still be interesting.
Vancouver does have a pretty diversified marine industry.
BC ferries,cruises
Port of Vancouver, Delta port, surrey-fraser port ( up the fraser river a ways)
many different bridges including swing and lift
Unrelated to the ports question I would really like to see some west coast towboating like towing and landing barges that would really add a new element to ship sim. Maybe log towing as well but it's a little slow.

The Panama Canal :)

Helsinki, Finland!
If someone has visited here (especially in summer) you know that Helsinki is very beautiful. We have lots of little islands and harbors. Helsinki is a cape so it is actually

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service to salvage the tea?

For anyone not familiar with the background to Marty's joke, US Patent number 07106781 refers to a discrete multitone stacked-carrier spread spectrum communication method. To quadruple the laughs, it is also the working paper number for a meta-analysis of Oligopoly. This being among the first topics in the experimental economics.
Marty, I thought was hilarious! Thanks.

Hi Terry/Marty,
For the rest of us with only half a brain, I think that refers to broadband?
To quadruple the laughs, it is also the working paper number for a meta-analysis of Oligopoly. This being among the first topics in the experimental economics.
Oligopoly means being a seller in a sellers market, (not less than 3 competitors but not much more). You couldn't be referring to England's attempt to monopolise the tea market could you? :o And you being an Brit you should hang your head in shame. ;D

I Would Like To See The River Clyde Included In The Next Ship Simulator:):)
-
Barcelona, Valencia, Genova this is good port with heavy traffic and hard manovering during berthing or unberthing operations. :)
-
I'd like to see London as a harbour. What about rivers and lakes just for crusing and some river barges. Say the Thames, Eble, Mississipi, ect.
-
Hello,
Jocce mentioned the Panama Canal , now this would be very interesting , its 51 miles long and if i'm right and everything goes to plan! it takes 10 or so hours to transit though , now would'nt that be great! ;D even if its not going to be in any new sim could it not be made as an addon for SS 2008 in the future, i for one would pay for it,
Just my two pennies!
Cheers,
Roger.
-
yes i would pay for the panama canal as well, probably because i used to go through it 2 or 3 times a year
-
How about the IJselmeer, with Volendam, Edam, Marken and Urk and Hindelopen, etcetera?
-
Bright idea! Wouls be preety hard to call at Urk with Ocean Star or at Volendam with the Titanic.... :thumbs:
-
Which areas (harbours) would you like to see added to Ship Simulator in the future?
i really like to see the harbour of singapore and a little piece of the rhine in germany.
and what i also want to see is more tugs like the smit rotterdam and more pushboats like the veerhaven X or VII
i'am a sailor on the veerhaven VII. so that would be awesome.
but this game is great, this is the best game ever made.
-
Valencia. It’s a Beautiful city. There are modern and singular buildings “Cuidad de las Artes y las ciencias†There is the America´s Cup Port. There are accurate (LIDAR) digital terrain models of the city and vicinities. The offshore has heavy traffic between Gibraltar Strait and North African Cities and Barcelona, Marseille, Palma
As Valecia´s Port Authorities says:
Valencia port is the first and last stopover port for the major deep sea maritime services using regular lines in the Western Mediterranean, which provides the following advantages:
The closest trading port to the Suez-Gibraltar axis, route of the main deep sea shipping lines.
Superior facilities for the concentration and distribution of traffic in the Western Mediterranean.
In addition, our enviable position on the Iberian Peninsula makes us a natural port for deep sea goods traffic, by providing: Shorter land transport times. Extensive possibilities for the redistribution of goods originating on or destined for the Peninsula.
-
What about all the main harbors in Hawaii (Honolulu,O'ahu; Nawiliwili, Kauai; Kahului, Maui; Kawaihae and Hilo, Hawaii (Big Island);Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kaunakakai, Molokai; Pearl Harbor, O'ahu)? Hawaii is connected mainly by sea and requires shipping for almost all goods. Ships bring in goods from the mainland and they are later transported intrastate via tug and barge. How about a working tow winch (heave in/pay out) on a line haul tug too?? Just some thoughts about the area that I live/work in.... :thumbs:
-
these are the ports i would like to see in later ship sims

Boston, absolutely! From the LNB at least up into the Charles, Mystic, and Fore Rivers. Be sure to include the 10' tides.
Also need some river/canal locales, e.g., St. Lawrence, inter-Great Lake, or Mississippi (New Orleans).

Hello! I'm the one - a little while back - who advocated Liverpool and all the plentiful environs of the river Mersey, with it's approaches from the Irish sea, its amenities for all kinds of vessels, ferries across the river - and further afield across the Irish sea to the Isle of Mann and Ireland, Cruise ships, cargo vessels, tankers, fishing boats, tugs and barges, pilot and rescue vessels as well as pleasure craft. There could be many extensions to all the docks there on both sides of the river - not to mention the Manchester ship canal with it's oil refinery terminals etc.
Of course, I'm biased, LOL, having been brought up here and lived here all my life! However, having just spent nearly two hours wading through all 23 pages of suggestions so far, I realise that all have their own merits. Of course, I WOULD like to see more environments - and vessels - on offer, as we all do. One can grow stale and bored with the same things all the time, most particularly with the environments with their limited number of starting points. What I would REALLY recommend to VStep is to incorporate into all future - and existing environs the CHOICE of having CONTINUALLY VARYING weather conditions - both on free sailing and on missions. This, I think (certainly for me) would greatly extend a more lasting enthusiasm for their ship simulation. It would be much more of a challenge, and of much more interest if one could start a sailing with conditions that are given at random - and with conditions that change, gradually, at random! This would include SAVED missions!

well, im from america so i would think it would be cool if there was a boston harbour. also a los angelous harbour ( america's port) :2thumbs:

I would love to see Portland Oregon and the Columbia river locks. The start is at the Pacific ocean and goes all the way to the Snake river. It would really be great to traverse all the locks, and it is a very scenic area to boot. Allot of heavy ship traffic.
-
Hello Mates,
i would like to see more of the Elbe, maybe till cuxhaven. Or the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal.
And of course - for the friends of big ferries! The Trave. Lübeck is one of the biggest ferry ports in the baltic. The Trave features challengeging corners, many possebilities for docking and a beautiful historic part of the city of Lübeck, built on an island!.
What do you think about it guys?
Best Regards - Eike

Now that WOULD be a good one :) :) :)
A fascinating place for anyone who's not been there. It would be better with a few historical warships (which has been discussed elsewhere)- Malta was a big convoy destination in WW2

The Anacortes, Washington to Sidney, British Columbia route is operated by Washington State Ferries, making it an international company, whereas its larger cousin, BC Ferries is provincial.
Together, they make the Puget Sound/Strait of Georgia waterway the busiest ferry area in the world, and possibly the most scenic.

Hello!
I wolud like to see some Mediteran countrys!
Like: Italia, Malta, Greek, Coratia...
But most i wolud like to see Croatia - Rovinj!!
It's a normal size town but it's wery nice and it cool to drive the sips around the Rovinj so the place is wonderfoll and it's great for ships!
Pictures: Rovinj town: [img=http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5618/rovinj.th.jpg] (http://img29.imageshack.us/i/rovinj.jpg/)

And it's realy easy to create this place because it's not big!
It's realy nice destination for ships and many yachts! Every yera in Rovinj comes a lot of world largest yachts and cruisers...
Good bye!

What about Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad & Tobago on the island of Trinidad. The one thing about this city is that it lies in a shelter position thanks to the Northern Range hills and is one of the favored position for western hemisphere shipping routes. Most trades go from this city to North America, South America and the Caribbean.
-
Plymouth.
It's got tons of historical merit (Drake, Pilgrim fathers, e.t.c.)
you've got Devonport Dockyard, the River Plym and drakes island, so it looks nice...
Plus there's the F1 powerboats!
Oh, and this member happens to live there... ;D
-
Hmm,.. Plymouth is nice... I've never sailed from the port, but been on a small yacht there.
McG, it looks like quite a wide navigable area, but I suspect, like the Solent, it has only narrow channels for commercial/naval vessels and the wide areas at the side are quite shallow. True or false.
Whilst we are making suggestions... how about completion of Portsmouth as well?
-
Hmm... Obviously Millbay and Devonport are deep, what with PA and HMS Ocean e.t.c. and we get cruise ships mooring outside the Breakwater, but there is a terminal up by Laira Bridge, which would be a lot of fun to get the Latitude alongside...
Plymouth is a bit of both, really... Although you've only really come across the leisure side of things... (not that Plymouth isn't a brilliant place to have fun in a small vessel...)
And it's the same sort of navigational challenge as Padstow... It's just a lot bigger...
Oh, and with Princess yachts, there's a storyline oppurtunity with the Marbella... (even though she isn't a Princess!)
-
Cant remember if I have posted on this or not, but I would love to see the Port of Hull and the Humber on Ship Sim!
Would be a challenge using the locks!
-
Hull would be good - we could finally go somewhere with the PoR! - and do another full route (Though as Stu would say, not in the same environment)

Hello!
Last night i was looking trough the Google Earth about some cool places.
I saw an very nice place in Mexico!

You can see how wonderful the place is! It's just amazing!
It's popular, cool, interesting, popular, and there are a lot of ships in it.
It's a small marina too.
I think it's an great port.
So that's definitly the envirement i would like to see in the future SS games!
What do you say??
Good bye!

Then all we need is a Pride of York/Brugge and working locks! :D
-
What we need is a place with a short car ferry route(10-15 mins.).
Incorporating the route between Lymington and Yarmouth in the excisting Solent scenery would solve this.

Some of the Hellenic Islands mentioned above have more than one harbour (for example Amorgos, Samos, Ikaria and other).

I would love to see the Port of Vancouver( http://www.portvancouver.com/ ). This would enable us to simulate the West Coast Trade between Canada and the US. Canada needs a little representation in Shipsim. The port of Vancouver is a scenic one also
Cheers,
Speaking of Vancouver in case you've seen Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron, there's one port you can put up with the opening sailing races.
