Title: Tell us where you are from - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE
Post by: AriesDW on May 04, 2007, 20:42:55: Hello Everyone;

The forum Mods and the Devs @ VStep want to know about you! Please answer the following, as it would be a great help to developing a better Ship Simulator for everyone in the future.

With this survey below, we are trying to find where everyone is located, so that in the future, VStep will know how popular Ship Simulator is and where - but also it will tell the devs possibly what next ports need to be added to the game, what are the popular features, and what other games everyone is playing - therefore keeping VStep developers ahead of the crowd and knowing how to best always please loyal Ship Simulator gamers and fans alike. Always wanted that port in town to be on Ship Simulator? Well, who knows, with enough information from you and fellow gamers it may just happen!

The more VStep knows about it's gamers and fans, the more can be done to make Ship Simulator the ultimate ship simulation platform!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Post by: marcstrat on May 07, 2007, 05:53:26: Greetings,
Untill so far there's a great respons on this matter,please members keep on going,with this.
This thread has a big value,to all of us,because next time you reply or PM,somebody of this forum.This benefit for you all is,atleast you know a little more of your fellow-player,on the game,and where he comes from.He might be living Spambot,before without knowing.
For vstep,maybe these are al optional Q&A's,but for developing an area,this is very helpfull.
Keep up this good work,
Regards
Marc

We are trying to find where everyone is at so that in the future, so that in the future, VStep will know if how popular Ship Simulator is and where - but also it will tell the devs possibly what next ports need to be added to the game - always wanted that port in town to be on Ship Simulator? Well, who knows, with enough information from you and fellow gamers it may just happen!

The more VStep knows about it's gamers and fans, the more can be done to make Ship Simulator more and more of the ultimate ship simulation platform!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hello Everyone;

The forum Mods and the Devs @ VStep want to know about you! Please answer the following, as it would be a great help to developing a better Ship Simulator for everyone in the future.

With this survey below, we are trying to find where everyone is located, so that in the future, VStep will know how popular Ship Simulator is and where - but also it will tell the devs possibly what next ports need to be added to the game, what are the popular features, and what other games everyone is playing - therefore keeping VStep developers ahead of the crowd and knowing how to best always please loyal Ship Simulator gamers and fans alike. Always wanted that port in town to be on Ship Simulator? Well, who knows, with enough information from you and fellow gamers it may just happen!

The more VStep knows about it's gamers and fans, the more can be done to make Ship Simulator the ultimate ship simulation platform!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Post by: BlackBat on June 29, 2007, 15:16:31: Hello together,

well obviously I'm wondering why you are making such a survey, of course I read the introduction but the game is nearly finished and the final works are currently done and you are thinking of the next step. In my opinion it's more efficient to make step by step and concentrate on the actual important thinks like delevoping and releasing the game in the proposed date and time. After the release you could concentrate on such timespending surveys, because there has to be somebody who interprets such research and put it into a database. It would have been better to set up a HTML form on the VSTEP side, where everybody could fill out this form and it would automaticly be changed into excel or what ever.

Well, but this is my opinion and your work. Of course I'm going to fill out this "form" too, so here are my answers:

2. Silent Hunter III
3. SS'06

Closest major port: Bremerhaven, Hamburg, JadeWeserPort Wilhelmshaven(coming up)

Desired port locations (limit to 3 choices):
1. Singapur
2. JadeWeserPort - HH including the inland waterways
3. Shanghai

Desired vessels/vessel types to be seen in upcoming Ship Simulator versions (limit to 3 choices):
1. Ferry/RoRo/RoPax/ConRo with Azipod-Propulsion
2. Off-shore servicevessel
3. 5th generation and higher container vessel

Where did you purchase your copy of Ship Simulator (Name of Business - City, State/Province - Country):
Astragon (Germany), Amazon (Germany) - both per Internet because of the profit margins in shops

On a scale from 1-5, how would you rate Ship Simulator currently:
3,0 points (in case of SS'06) - No realistic vessel hydrographics, horrible mooring operation, no influences like current, wind & waves, but in order to the new SS'08 I have another oppinion which is much better

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such):
DEFINITLY Simulation - like already uppon noted docking, manouvering, tugging, assistance etc.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
In my opinion the game has vast opportunities and potential which wants to be extracted and used. Concentrate on the genre of a SIMULATOR and keep out things like races etc. Implement relistic ship habits and concentrate on the manouvering and port operations. Another interesting part is the the connection between to close located ports like HH-Rotterdam - on the seaway but also on the inland waterway which are in the netherlands and germany very interesting to manouver refers to the tight canals. Also integrate and improve the opportunities (already proposed for the SS'08) like integration of custum ships and - very important - a suffisticated multiplayer mod.
Furtherone I have to cheer the contact between developer/producer and the customer such as this survey. Keep on sticking to this close connection.

In conclusion, the game has a very interesting potential and in the hand of VSTEP I think it'll take the right way, not always in the right stages but nevermind - I'll keep on supporting you ..

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such):Technical. I'd like the experience to be as authentic as possible (although not to the extremes like Falcon 4.0 takes air simulation) - similar level to MS flight simulator takes flying - so that's it's still accessible to beginners. I'd like to see more civilian orientated things - like cruise liners (even made up ones, to fit budget constraints.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: SS2006 was great. There seem to be quite a few graphical bugs in SS2008. I'm sure these will be corrected. I think the community needs to be more actively involved, such as ship modelling etc - so that if Vstep can't fulfill what we want, we can accomplish it ourselves. :)

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: I would see in the game, anchor handling and more intelligent sailling of indinintually moved vessels (avoiding collisions with the big ships like Titanic and container ship as the steering procedure of these ships is slow).
I also prefer to sail free between ports (maybe it's necessery a multiple speed running of the game - x2,x3,x4... - saving time due to long distances between ports).

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
I think the game is coming along well, there are a few things I'd like to see
enhanced bridge equipment
I'd most like to see additional bridge equipment, perhaps era specific, it would also be great if you had the option to switch off the gps style cursor/nav fix and added a bearing readout to the binocs so that you could navigate by triangulation, dead reckoning etc.
night lighting on chart/bridge
night lighting on the bridge and a night pallette for the chart should be added as it's a bit jarring to switch from an outside view to a brightly lit bridge or chart.
timetabled missions
Also I'd like to see timetabled missions for ferries, not turning the game into a race game but
using a sensible real world time window eg time +/- 5 mins etc.
more detailed docking
It would also be great if docking ops could be further enhanced i.e. the ship must be parallel to the quay +/-5 degrees at a certain distance etc, also it would be great if the winches on the ships could be used to pull/slacken lines etc.
brighter buoys and lighthouses
It would be great if these could be seen at a greater distance and flashed as in the real world.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

Also I would like more complex bridge controls, but perhaps the option to have simple and advanced for novice to expert. Also I think the ability to switch lights on and off is a good idea as well as window wipers and such. We do need a little more control over the various ship duties. However I still think the current game is fantastic ;D

I would see in the game, anchor handling and more intelligent sailling of indinintually moved vessels (avoiding collisions with the big ships like Titanic and container ship as the steering procedure of these ships is slow).
I also prefer to sail free between ports (maybe it's necessery a multiple speed running of the game - x2,x3,x4... - saving time due to long distances between ports).

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

I would advise Vstep to listen to the gaming community, I've noticed that a lot of ss2008 players are also into flight simulators or other sims. There seems to be a big desire to be able to incorperate ships into the sim yourself. In my opinion this is what makes flight sims like FSX a succes. It is obvious at the moment Vstep is not sure yet were it wants to go with the game in the future. What I mean is; there is a big difference between an arcade game and a simulation game. Right now ss 2008 hovers between the two. If Vstep wants to be a true sim there is still a lot of work ahead, the base of the game however is solid enough to become a true FSX of the seas! ;D I hope I don't sound negative, that is not my intention nor opinion ;)

Hello Everyone;

The forum Mods and the Devs @ VStep want to know about you! Please answer the following, as it would be a great help to developing a better Ship Simulator for everyone in the future.

With this survey below, we are trying to find where everyone is located, so that in the future, VStep will know how popular Ship Simulator is and where - but also it will tell the devs possibly what next ports need to be added to the game, what are the popular features, and what other games everyone is playing - therefore keeping VStep developers ahead of the crowd and knowing how to best always please loyal Ship Simulator gamers and fans alike. Always wanted that port in town to be on Ship Simulator? Well, who knows, with enough information from you and fellow gamers it may just happen!

The more VStep knows about it's gamers and fans, the more can be done to make Ship Simulator the ultimate ship simulation platform!

Thanks for your help everyone!

"Gepauzeert" in stead of "gepauseerd", "in afwachting voor" in stead of "in afwachting van"; too many mistakes to mention. But the worst is that it's often a riddle what you have to do in the game. :'(

I like the technical stuff: docking, craning and so on.

Plenty of good ideas on this forum but my priority would be realism. It needs improved physics, mass, hydrodynamics, AI traffic, wind, tides, etc. Greater interactivity on the bridge, more controls. It needs to become more of a simulation I think... but well done so far VSTEP!

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:I would like to see more of the bigger ships combined with tug operations and smaller service craft. Now that ships can sink, it seems that they do very regularly. I've just been doing Hamburg, the new terminal in ShipSim 2008 and the sea going tanker turns over as I approach it at 8 knots. More intelligence from the AI ships, (not colliding, giving way to less manouverable ships), I know that it adds to the game play but this is a ship simulator, to see it comparable to Flight Simulator would be good.

- I do know that shipsimming is still in it's infancy and you devs are doing one helluva job, i know it will all be better in the future and we just have to be patient with some of the bugs, in due time things will be resolved and i'm pretty relieved actually that there are more controlfreaks out here like me that even fancy "the slowest of sims ever" (unless you want to try this on a 250 mhz machine.. hahaha)

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

Bridge instrumentation is still a small part of this game. I would like to see this part grow into the future and replace the very simple info panel. Buttons and knobs that can be adjusted, several menu systems for instrumentation is very welcome. More sea navigation marks can be added and lighthouses and buoys with lights that makes night missions challenging and funny.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
I find the game disappointingly unstable and some of the supplied missions are not properly tested - so that I have a list of missions which somebody wrote which just don't work. This is rather poor, considering the wonderful quality of the work which has gone into some of the models - the Titanic is quite stunning. Again, some of the missions are ludicrous - there is one which involves a VLCC on the east coast of the Isle of Wight - an area which I know well. Nobody would dream of taking a VLCC into such an area. To add to the fun, there are lots of pleasure craft around which get mown down by the VLCC, and I am told that the AI craft in the model don't do anything intelligent - if there is a VLCC in the way they just hit it. A bit hard for the VLCC pilot to be then told that he has been in ship to ship collision! Finally I had to anchor in Bembridge Roads and a pilot boat had to be brought down. At this point I had to save, so when I returned to the Mission the seas were immense, promptly capsized the pilot boat and washed her onto the deck of the VLCC! It does get rough in Bembridge Roads, but not like that - weather like that would have washed away Chichester Harbour!
Finally, the support in the forum is good, but the administrative support is dreadful. I have been waiting two days for the emails to enable me to download and run New Horizons - this is not acceptable in these days of on line business.

I should add that I am a former seafarer and enjoy using SS to recapture some of my youth. I remember meeting a man in a 23 foot yacht on the south coast of England who said that in real life he was the master of a 250000 to VLCC. I asked what he was doing on the small boat and he replied 'Practising the arts of seamanship, sir.' There is something of that in SS.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

I would really love more interactivity, i.e. working cranes, virtual cargo, other harbour/port typhical utilities as container lifters, forklifts, Mafi-trailers, dredgers, docks, fuelling & water points etc. etc... and then a really good one: Some more activities for the tugs, that we do not have to wait for the big guys to "allow" us a little work, let the tugs have the possibility to move the floating docks, barges, floating cranes etc. etc. that there is something to do for us crazy tuggers all the time... ;)

Wind, current and tidal effects would make it much more realistic, and then lights for night-sailing, lights in lanterns, lighthouses, bouys, buildings on land etc...

Mooring Points (shall be operational on towed vessels when connected with tow-rope.

Possibility to chose different colour and vessel name ala the function in FSX for choosing plane colour and call sign...

Build in VHF (ts) that starts together with SS.

Finally I would like to say that you guys are doing a fantastic job both at VSTEP and in the forum, and I can easily see myself be using SS many years from now, still being impatient for the next upgrade to be implemented on the servers... :D (Missions is not so much my thing - play them only when I don't find anybody to interact with on servers)

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
I'd like to see more realism in the handling of the ships and the control interface's used and the ability to configure joysticks & controllers etc with more precision & flexibility than at present even if this meant purchasing a vstep built controller as we have more and more propulsion systems now, the more of a serious simulator this becomes the better it will be.
MP is a great addition and could be so much better with a communication system within the game and some real world guidelines/regulations.
I'd like to see more effect of the elements on the ships wind and tidal currents.
I'd like to see a better chart system than the current one.
This sim has come a long way since the first edition in 2006 and as a big fan from the begining I can see this getting better all the time, keep up the good work and let's have some more ships and environments and with the big interest in MP it would be good to develop that a little more, as interacting with other users has been far better than I imagined and is probably the best feature to date.

I wold really like to someday see the multiplayer part of Ship Simulator become a MMO type where you are able to start off in one port load passengers or cargo and sail thru the different environments without having to log off and back on a different server. Also having ALL the original 2008 ships available on that server, have all with the NH ones available on a 2nd server that is able to cross environments for those that have NH would be nice also. Probably wouldn't happen any time soon but would be nice in the distant future.

The current survey omits the most important question which is Would you prefer to see a totally different sim forcing you to buy a whole new game or to further develop SS2008?
Ports added or new ships mean nothing to me if they will not be able to be used in SS2008.

Off topic but relevant to the survey - who thought of giving a product as a prize that most interested people will have bought before the the winner is drawn? Would it not be better to give a voucher usable against any new product like a new ship or environment which may be for sale later.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

1) New navigation instruments - radar with it's functions - EBL, VRM, PI, etc.;

2) New really ECDIS - looking electronic chart with improved plotting system and containing complete navigation information (buoys, fairways, leading lights) and the option to plot a course not only in the free - room mode;

3) Autopilot (like in the Virtual Sailor) for long distance passages;

4) All kinds of buoys with additional lights, ship and coast lighting at the nighttime; possibility to switch on/off ship's navigation lights;

5) Wawes not restricted in the areas where are the harbour and the part of sea (Marseille, The Solent, etc.), like in the Virtual Sailor... same like option when the wawes are stopped by breakwaters and moles so they cannot run into the inner roadstead of the harbour;

6) Improved weather system (snow, hail, ice), variable weather during the game and the option to change it during the simulation;

7) All berths of all harbours equipped with mooring bollards;

Several large vessels and new sailing areas;

9) Other little things (improved AI for other ships, improved dynamics, etc.).

I prefer docking, tugging, and all the other technical aspects. I don't care about the speed and the races;
my suggestion (or better, my wish) is to simulate to leave a seaport and really sail to another one all over the world, maybe stopping into other sea ports to make operations, then sail again till the destination. However, this simulator is a very good work, to me!thanks!

I much prefer docking, tugging, ferries, hovercraft, and ocean going vessels. I don't really care for boat racing and stunts. The crane would be nice, if the views could be improved. I can't figure out where the container is, in relation to my viewpoint. I also strongly dislike missions like "At work on the Atlantic" with mysterious and invisible waypoints.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
The weather interaction is a factor that's not presently today into this game (ss08) the weather interactions would increase the quality of the game plus chances for the players to have in hands a simulator closer to the real ship simulators used nowadays by the greate maritime schools.
The weather interaction that must act into the game are:
Wind (pushing the vessel, ex: wind by stern will push the vessel ahead and if acting from the port lee will turn the ship's stern to starboard conpensations must be taken during handling. Wind attacking the vessel from forward will reduce the vessel speed (depending of the wind force plus RPM of vessel's engine the speed will decrease fast, also the stearing can be affected due to different angle of wind attacking the vessel's hull and also cargoes on deck.

Water interaction shallow waters: low keel clearance force the vessel to increase the engine forces. When passing close to sand banks of sloop and or teep banks the bow cushion effect is pronounced.
Also the water/channel/river current afects the vessels handling performancies.
When leaving a close channel bar with current of low water coming together with the vessel it's made a bit hard to turn the vessel and or to stop and even decrease the vessels speed.

Virtual mass: due to the skin friction of the vessels hull, rudder and propeller a significant mass of water is moved together with the vessel. This is called virtual mass. this mass of water start from the vessels bow and extend up to some meters behing the vessel's stern, this mass is well observed at the vessel's stern and it's comom called by the fishing mans as deadwater. When trying to stop the vessel this mass reaming behind the stern will reach the vessel attacking the hull and push the vessel forward the angle of water attack are in different angle and the force point of interaction is hard to be predicted at the most of times.

With those weather interaction the SS will have a great quality what will foccus the attention of many more users and schools as well.
The chance to have such game closer to the real situation in my opnion is something what everyone wants.

Unfortunately for VSTEP the weather interaction still something hard to be done but not impossible!

Cheers
Tavares ;)

I've noticed that a lot of ss2008 players are also into flight simulators or other sims. There seems to be a big desire to be able to incorperate ships into the sim yourself. In my opinion this is what makes flight sims like FSX a succes. A better multiplayer like FSX used

On a scale from 1-5, how would you rate Ship Simulator currently: For the "play alone" parts of the sim my heart would give a "1", but to encourage you for a "better future-version" IÂ´ll give a 2. (So I hope, to encourage you and the "diffeence between the "future-" and the actual version will be as "great" as between the first und the actual one. (But IÂ´m sorry to give a 3/4 for the internet-gaming part of this sim, because of a lot of frustrating bugs - ships that canÂ´t be seen by me or others, ships that fly (!) around your head, or make you sink by colliding with "anything", that suddenly seems to be "wthin" your Vermaas (for instance), or be hit from a ship, whose captain swears he is "miles away" and doesnÂ´t even see you), or to be "thrown out" of the game because of "inactivity". But if it "will work" normally, I enjoy it, to be in contact with most all of the "captains" I met and who helped me to understand (a little bit) what it feels like, to handle with a heavy ship (in my preferred case -the Vermaas) entering a port.

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such): I prefer anything (semi)professional that comes close to reality as possible (I know, that there is a professional version, but, its too expensive for me at the moment.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: Normally I prefer the handling of the "Heavies", but I also would enjoy to navigate on a small channel/river with a commercial "Peniche" or a "Penichette"-houseboat (on a busy) small channel/river (in french) landscape with some loclks and small ports along my way.

TECHNICAL SIMULATION, NOT ARCADE.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

#1 Need more technical systems on bridges of ships. Radar, Electrical, Communications..too arcade like now.

#2 Need actual cruising area, not just harbors! Model the Caribbean or Greek Islands. Give us somewhere to
go in real time.

#3 Open up this sim to the community with an SDK. It needs outside help with development
to make it truly GREAT. VSTEP should develop the framework with each release and the tools and
let the community improve the simulator. (Like Flight Simulator)

It could be truly great but it is constrained by a small staff of developers and budget.

Make it great guys!

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
First off, NO MORE TUG BOATS PLEASE. How many do we need anyway? I would like to see more small to medium "civilian" vessels along the lines of the yachts and fishing boats.

Also, please take a closer look at the existing boats: most of them are bugged in some way or another.
Broken graphics can be found on: classic yacht, russian tug, pilot, pride of rotterdam to name a few.
Many of the ships lack a speed diplay in the cockpit/bridge, such as the P6, speedboat, pilot, rescue boat to name a few.
Water spray is going THROUGH the hull of the speed yacht. You can fall though the deck of the big cruiser. You can walk off the deck of the new cargo ship and stand on the water. The rescue boat does not move straight even with no waves and no wind. The North Star has a horizontal thruster but no control for it on the bridge, nor does it have proper windows. The classic yacht, which should have only 1 engine, has 2 running.
These are ALL very small and easy-to-fix bugs. Before making more boats, please get the ones we have now working correctly.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: nice to see in the future are the ships i voted, ice environment so you can break the ice with an icebreaker.moving environments like birds,trains and cars e.g possibility to start your own virtual shiping company.much more bridge control.if the ship sinks that you can get into the lifeboat e.g and some rust at the sides of old ships (by the anchor) and maybe some day that we can make a world travel without having to download a new environment, so you still can see the harbour behind you.
some life onboard like people walking on the deck,sitting on chairs.

Kind regards maritiem :)

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such): Both more or less equally however I would prefer to simulate the powerboat racing we see in real life as opposed to the ramping and such. Off shore powerboat and hydroplane races with an online dedicated racing server with proper courses and proper timing.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
Please model a person 'at the helm' in all boat models...jet ski has a rider but all other vessels are ghost ships. Bigger waves available in ports...maybe not 4 m swells but a bit rougher would be nice and could make in port missions more difficult not always having almost perfect conditions.

I almost balked at buying this...$40 plus tax...not sure if I was going to be into it but am glad I did now. Cool to see busy forums etc etc too. Cheers!

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:i find that compared to other sims i've played such as trains where you must learn to drive just that, a train, controlling every aspect of them.as for ships in ship 2006/8, i find it a frustrating that some vessels such as the racing boats in fact most vessels in ship sim 2006/8 i find have a slower turn rate at speed than at speed for e.g.in some missions start in a confined space where a taxi manouvres out an exit around some smaller craft(frustrating),the vessels controls are limited.compared to vessels in real life, a have to say are far out weighed than those in ship sim 2006/8.craft such as the port of rotterdam vessel, lights such as the beacons.

More detailed bridges, need to get the true feeling instead of a large empty room with some stearing consoles miles Apart.

Larger windows on bridges, personally i feel PoR bridge windows are to small (i know, i know... Their like that in real life).

Mooring point's in free roaming, so i can dock and go make my self some tea :-D

For me it's really important to get the real feeling (kind of nerdish) but i just think that details are the essense of a good game, like flight simulator X, wich has great cocpit details.

A great complete route to add would be Frederikshavn - Gothenburg 3 h 15 mins travel time by conventional ferry, ideal for the true enthusiast.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

In my opinion, the missions are good. But throw in the ability to have your own company (fishing, shipping goods, Passengers, ect) with the ability to gain and lose money based on how well you operate, as well as buying more ships to get a fleet, Hire/Fire Ai Persons with different skill sets, the cheap ones are novices, the expensive ones are well traind and have lots of experiance and do less damage. Kind of how the Hard Truck series works, except on the water.

Boats that cary goods, make them where they can be completely unloaded, and loaded either by the player, Ai or a quick Unload all, Load All button.

Also have a EASY way to repaint any and all ships to your color, and company name, ship name. Perhaps from a drop down menu for the color, and text inputs for the names. That way you can do it in game, and for the graphic artists, the option to import custom livery's.

I know that will never happen right away, but there is my Idea. That would make this series lots better, But wait! There's more!

Cary over the money making to online, as well as the company colors, name and ship names to the online mode, then that would rock.

But wait there's more!
Make it where you have realism levels, Easy, Hard, Realistic. Kind of how flight simulator works.
Make it where you run out of fuel if you don't plan properly, ect.

That is my suggestion.

but as it stands now, it is good.. it has potential.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

I think that missions could be made even more interesting by expanding the success/fail criteria. Things such as a maximum fuel goal, throttle or thruster restrictions in certain areas etc. Fuel burn might be difficult to model, but even something as simple as a rate of use based on RPM could make life very interesting... like when you charge onto a waypoint in the Vermaas going at full tilt, only to get the "Slow down to 2 knots" message :-).

Definitely the simulation aspect, that is what the game represents as far as I am concerned.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
The simulation has so much more potential. More realism would be nice as far as penalties and failures for not following rules of navigation and shiphandling. I also think that there should be a paper chart for all of the environments so that you can plan a voyage. For example you should have each environment laid out in a PDF file so some one can study or print out certain areas. It would be nice to have a pilot card for each vessel also with vessel particulars like draft, speed at engine orders, and performance characteristics.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
- The sea depth and vessel draft seems it needs checking in places (e.g it is impossible to take 'The Pride of Rotterdam' into Portsmouth harbour (in the Solent) in game - yet it is possible in real life), same applies to parts of Southampton Water, etc with the large container vessels.
- It would be great to be able to use all the ships from both SS2006 and SS2008 in SS2010 or any future releases.
- It would also be great to see more ability to load/unload containers, cars, cargo, etc. The ability to moor 'other' vessels such as barges, cargo platforms etc, that are 'static objects' rather than player objects would also be good.

Please note that FSX has an outstanding scenery engine, which means it can handle shipping anywhere on the earth's surface. Already there are ships and boats being built for FSX. Obviously they do not as yet meet the technical detail of Ship Sim, but it certainly is a strong area of convergence.

The technical, not the arcade.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

Look at Microsoft flight simulator and see whether you can get a readymade scenery engine which would then allow your ships to be located at any port. And encourage amateurs to manufacture freeware of detailed scenery, docks and cranes, on-shore moving objects etc....and encourage payware add-ons independent of you own studio.

I just wanted to say that i would like to see greek ports in this game . As you know greek ports especialy island ports are very dangerous and hard to dock. So it would be nice to have this ports as hard missions. Also it must be like flight simulator that you can go everywhere in the world. I know that my whises are very hard to become true but that would make the game simply the best!

I would love an ROV simulator built into a ship. Also a Geostationary option while manually craning a SAT bell
into a moon pool on a modified fairmount Sherpa. I would also like random weather changes when changing locations on the globe, We all know how the weather is. More cranes wouldn't hurt. I would to be able to jump into any crane I see and start moving boxes while free roam.

I'm quite happy with most things in ship simulator. The biggest complaint I have is the fact that you can't feather the direction of the RAD joysticks with the keyboard directional pad. I'd like to suggest better horn recordings for the new ships. The horns in the patch update on the website works great though, so I'm not complaining. Regardless, I still find myself playing this game for hours.

On a scale from 1-5, how would you rate Ship Simulator currently:
4.5 - there's always room for improvement, but overall I think it is a great game/sim with endless potential. I think I said the same about MSFS4 back in the days..

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator:
Definitively the technical parts, tugging, offshore work, taxi jobs in demanding situations

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:
Would love to see the ability to launch smaller crafts off of mother vessels like MOB's, tenders, life boats and special purpose stuff. In general seeing more interaction with the ships like for example cranes, search lights and vessel-specific things - opening car doors on ferries, animated equipment on a fishing boat, working cable laying equipment, functioning drilling rig, fire pumps...

I'm coming from the now well polished Flight Sim side of the simulation sphere where pretty much every little nook and cranny of an airplane is highly detailed, animated and interactive. Granted, this has been a far larger commercial venture going on for far longer than Ship Simulator, so I am not expecting the same detail level and interaction level anytime soon. So far I think there has been a great overall improvement from SS06 to SS08, and SS10 is shaping up nicely.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

Maybe the lack of a more open "system" to support community mods and some devices, like a more detailed radar, a virtual communication center to talk to other people when playing online. The support for multiple screens would be good, because in one big screen we can have see all the playing scenario, and in another screen (maybe a old one) the radar or even the AIS separated too. This could help raise the reality to common players like me. :D

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

The Simulator needs modifying so that at least audible warning of reaching a waypoint is given when 'on the binoculars' both in bridge & walkabout view.
An optional time delay of, say, 30 seconds on the last waypoint in a Mission would also be good so that 'Waypoint Reached' comments such as "Finished with engines" can be read before the Exit Screen appears.

On a scale from 1-5, how would you rate Ship Simulator currently: 4

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such): Technical aspect. I am too old to go fast anymore.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: The main reason I rated as a four is because I would like to see better night shading on the vessels with operational lights. The vessels seem a little too bright at night and it would be nice to have inside lighting in the wheelhouses as well as outside deck lights. Environmental lighting as is, I can live with since I usually play in the open-sea environments but everthing else is excellent in my opinion, of course.

Hello Everyone;

The forum Mods and the Devs @ VStep want to know about you! Please answer the following, as it would be a great help to developing a better Ship Simulator for everyone in the future.

With this survey below, we are trying to find where everyone is located, so that in the future, VStep will know how popular Ship Simulator is and where - but also it will tell the devs possibly what next ports need to be added to the game, what are the popular features, and what other games everyone is playing - therefore keeping VStep developers ahead of the crowd and knowing how to best always please loyal Ship Simulator gamers and fans alike. Always wanted that port in town to be on Ship Simulator? Well, who knows, with enough information from you and fellow gamers it may just happen!

The more VStep knows about it's gamers and fans, the more can be done to make Ship Simulator the ultimate ship simulation platform!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Desired port locations: Genoa, Italy
Bridgetown, Barbados
Any of the major Great Lakes ports

Desired vessel types: RMS Queen Mary (the first one)
Andrea Doria (perhaps a mission where we can try to avert the collision!)
large US Coast Guard cutter

Where purchased?: On the ShipSim.com site

On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate SS currently?: 4

Preferred type of gameplay: I like the passenger ships/ferries, tug/pushboat/cargo ship/crane/rescue&pilotboat operations, also like the water taxi missions. The ramping/racing are interesting, but not quite my cup of tea.

Other comments: The Solent & River Test, Rotterdam, Cornwall, and San Francisco were all excellent choices of ports--there's a lot to see and do there in various types of vessels--I like the model of Padstow's layout. All of the port scenery looks fantastic, as do the ships and the water texture. The ocean-going fishing trawler and historical yacht were interesting inclusions. I also thought the radio chatter at the helm was a nice touch.

Bugs with the game are a problem--the most nagging is the "disappearing ship syndrome" which occurs when a mission is reset with Titanic and Ocean Star--it seems to go away when you exit and re-start the game. The damage model could use some work; Ocean Star sank like a rock after I accidentally ran down a 5-meter long fiberglass sailboat at less than 5 knots! Automatic full cabin and porthole lighting on all ships at night would be a nice bit of realism and would add even more to the sim visually. All in all, this is a fun and educational sim; I also like the fact that there are a LOT of different missions in different vessels to choose from.

Racers, etc. do have already other options available. Don't need to mention the programs.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here: AA) desperate waiting for current- and wind implementation. (Would lift the rating up to 5 plus). Deerly missed and unforgivable not being implemented. BB) Extending the Rotterdam port limits more into the North Sea area, in order to create a realistic salvage operation including proper entering of the NRW at Hoek of Holland. The earlier mentioned wishes are more-or-less being implemented. Thanks.

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

I enjoy Docking the ship (mostly Pride of Rotterdam) from a realistic viewing angle, i.e, not from an arcade like view above the ship.
It is sometimes difficult though to achieve the situational awereness as you would have from Standing on the Bridge wing of the real Thing.
When I push the 4 on my Keyboard it enables me to move the viewing Point aft and Forward along the Center line of the ship and to look left/right, pivoting around the viewing Point.
What I miss is a way of clicking with my mouse anywhere on the ship and select that as a viewing Point, and being able to view left/right pivoting around that Point. Perhaps being able to select a few of those Points would be even better.

It doesn't look too good. Though I'm not a newcomer to the sim (SS2008) I have been away for a few years. The general air around the place does not encourage me to spend on SS Extremes, but rather spend my money elsewhere.

Which is more appealing to you in Ship Simulator, the technical simulator aspects (such as docking, tugging, crane operations, etc.) or the fast, speedy arcade style of playing (such as races, ramping, and such): I run an ASD tug and the ship docking simulator is getting closer to be the actual real life experience without the a grumpy docking pilots ( lol ).

Any additional comments or suggestions welcome here:

-Adding a library of navigational aids to complete Dover strait.
-Making the ECDI chart user waypoint more discreet.
-Being able to use latitude and longitude positioning and reading.
-Being able to add defences between player ship and berthing wharf to prevent wecking in soft berthing condition.
-Taking the binocular and the lamps off the radar screen of the Pride of Rotterdam.
-solving the programing problem with AI ship in the Dover port because it seems that there is an invisible reference point that makes imposible to go out of the entrance in a correct way to get underway and it reduce the interaction possibilities between the player and maritime trafic.
