Hello skippernr1
The u tube video is of someone who changed the file data to make bigger waves
which is not allowed so you will have to wait till extremes for this one sorry.
If you use search function you will find several topics on the wave thing.
G.P.S  you use your chart it shows your position he used second monitor to
expand chart on screen.

Hi Skippernr1, welcome to the forum!

Ok, your first question. As Eric says, the person who posted that video on how to change the wave settings has gone against the EULA, and, That means he has: 1. lost all technical Support 2. Commited an illegal action.

And as Eric says, unfortunately, other than that, there is no way to change this. However, Ship Simulator 2010 (Or, Extremes, as it is called now) will be out in the first quater of next year, and, who knows what may be there :thumbs:

For your second question, Unfortunately, the video you see there shows "Ship Simulator Professional" in the far, Right corner.The "Normal" Ship Simulator dosen't have a GPS, as such. Just the "Map". However, you can use dual monitors, so that you have (Like in the video) your game on one side, but, insted of the GPS as shown in the video, you'll have the normal Ship Simulator Chart - Just enlarged.

Ship Simulator Professional is, as it says on the tin, "Professional", and it designed for Nautical colleges and the likes.

Hope that answers your questions, and, if you have anymore - Ask away!

Kind Regards,
Jack.
