Hi All
I am sure that even though there are issues to be sorted V-Step will do there best  to
give us all a great game in the coming months and all this will be a memory  :2thumbs:

The ocean looks so much greater now, really splendid and that is one of the most important parts in a ship simulator  :2thumbs:

Hi guys,

to echo what Eric said, I'm sure the game will be great in time, but you have to allow room for VSTEP to do their best.

Anyway, on a positive note!

These are the main positives for me in the game now...


The game is certainly heading in the right direction, just not quite there just yet ;)

Love to berth the Protector CG patrol boat in Padstow entrance.

Padstow is in the game? Padstow in Cornwall? I grew up near there... I wonder if there's any other places in game with meaning to me?  :D

Four days on and I still can't play the game (no key); could someone point me to a list of locations in the game, if such a list exists?

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread :)

What happend to freedom of speech ?
Still part of humanity rules.

Besides I had to answer none as I haven't been able to play the game yet, whats wrong with that ?
If you only want positive responses of the game, this thread would be short.
Merely stating a fact, no sarcasm or negative effect intended

Hi Jim,

I posted my comment above because I thought the thread may get a little bombarded with negative comments.

I agree with constructive critism totally, but when members post negative comments that don't suggest improvements for example I would rather they didn't post :)

Just want to keep this thread for the positive things, as there are other threads for the negative ones.
Title: Re: Positive things about shipsim extremes.
Post by: Jimpaf on August 30, 2010, 14:05:50
Well I gonna get of your backs now, but I guess you'll see mine aswell as others point in this.

The game looks wonderful refering to the pictures and trailers I've seen, but these problems doesn't really share paying costumers up.
Also, Steam isen't more secure then anything else, there will always be other people in lead.
So I would consider another possibility until next time.

I just hope this doesn't get worse, cause if people complain now, as it takes more time to solve this issue the worse it will get.

But I for one feels kinda foolish to have bought the game now, if I had known this I've never bought the game.

If you ask the question... Yes i love it. Just one thing negative... The box, i haven't got the manual is it normal ???
Title: Re: Positive things about shipsim extremes.
Post by: Captain Spencer on August 30, 2010, 14:39:57
Hi Jean,

Browse to the folder directory for ship simulator in your program files and the manual should be there :)

Ok thanks but why the manual isn't on paper in the box ???

You have write 1888 post! great number and 3 8. ;D

Post by: Captain Spencer on August 30, 2010, 15:10:29
Jean - No I don't think they included a paper copy of the manual since it may not fit in the box.

svenuske1 - In what way does the game look bad? Have your turned the graphics up to high?

I like the two RIBS and Rainbow Warrior, and I must say that the water is beautifully made when selecting high detail.

The water system is amazing! I've just finnished free roam with the Esperanza. And I'm still swaying now  :-X
Fortunately I made it to Greenpeace World park safely!  :doh:

And the light feature is great!

8 different presets, the one in the pic is the lights for meaning im anchored up

I think that the complete game is improved compared with SS08.

-Ship behaviour
-The ocean system
-Textures
-Sounds
-Graphics are improved
-Deployables
-Azimuths on the Bugsier 2
-Environments are far more better and detailed compared with SS08

Great to hear your patience is rewarded Mathew, I also just received the game.. :)
No problems with installing, and my first impression is : wow, very nice graphics ! Fortunately it runs well with my not-so-modern system..
The rest will take some getting used to, especially with my favourite, the Red Eagle.. ;D

Hi Salty!

What is your system again? PM me if you would, I will get told off by myself for being offtopic! ;D
Title: Re: Positive things about shipsim extremes.
Post by: saltydog on August 30, 2010, 18:54:04
It just meets the requirements: Windows XP, Pentium4 / 3Ghz, Geforce 8800GT, 3 Gb RAM..
I think it is still on topic, that an "old" system has no problems running the game.. :)
Title: Re: Positive things about shipsim extremes.
Post by: Captain Spencer on August 30, 2010, 20:51:41
I agree, I have a 2.4Ghz single core AMD Athlon processor, 2GB DDR400 RAM and a GeForce GTX 260. I get about 6-10 FPS if I overclock my CPU to 2.5Ghz.

Anyway, I'm waffling again... ;D

Post by: Chitch on August 30, 2010, 21:31:15
Mine runs fine too...very smooth....Compaq with an AMD Athalon II dual core processor (2.8 Ghz), 3 GB ram, and a GeForce 9500 GT with 1 GB...smooth as silk.

I have bought it on shipsim. Very happy. It runs very well and graphics are beautiful. Deployable boats are a very good idea. Next time functional crane on M/V Javelin? it would be awesome :2thumbs:)

These could be answers to some of the questions i've seen regulary
The reason it hasn't arrived is because its new and alot slower if you got it much later like a month it'd come alot faster i got mine from Amazon via pre-order and it arrived 3 days after release.
The reason the game is buggy in several area is because the game was released early VSTEP could either release it early with a few bugs that will be killed off by future patches or delay the launch and get angry emails from people who were promised they'd get there copy on a set date.
The bugs are very irritating the game is more demanding than Crysis which as we know needs a space shuttle of a computer to run.
anyways i hope i've cleared out at least something to the members of the ShipSim community

I have currently un-installed Ship Simulator Extremes as it gave dreadful performance even when i'm using an i7 core processor and a GTX 260M graphics card, plus the bugs and glitches elsewhere in the game made the game unplayable for me. Not to mention there being no built in Anti-Aliasing and the use of STEAM I also consider bad choices.

When VSTEP fixes these problems, Ship Simulator Extremes I personally think when we all look back at which Simulator was the one that made what Ship Simulator is, it will be Ship Sim Extremes, it simply is beautiful when you get it working to how the screenshots and trailers look.

Until that time though, i'll stick with the good old Ship Simulator 2008, still does everything I want, missions, free roam, multiplayer and runs great on my computer at max graphics.

I have a somewhat older off the shelf HP Pavillion dv7 notebook. I routinely get rid of unnecessary background and startup programs and defrag regularly. Good but nothing special

The program dowloaded and ran without problem. Game grahics are set to the higher end. Ship movement. wake and waves are very fluid. Just finished the Taxi Tour mission in Marseille. That little boat looks good moving fast to me - inside or outside camera views. Racing back to the liner with the dark clouds moving in is behind you is just great

Are there little glitches, shortcoming and growing pains. Sure. But in the meantime I'm having a blast with the sim while still looking forward to the upgrades and improvements which will surely come in time. I'll happily take the sim as is for now rather then wait forever for "perfect". And "as is" is actually pretty good.

PS I also have Ship Sim 2006 and 2008 with all available ships. upgrades and add-ons

Just finished the fire and rescue in Bora-Bora misssion. The water cannon is great. Also having to actually work at finding people in the water instead of having highly visable but unrealistic green circles around them is hard but much more satisfying. I really had trouble finding the last person. I also like watching the crewmen on the cutter deck  walk around. Adds to the atmosphere
