Title: dont leave the game running when making coffee
Post by: greyhill on August 22, 2007, 21:39:25: this is what can happen when you leave the game running alone for a few moments while you make a cup of coffee. ;)

This accident happened i reality on 26th July during the day in Tokyo Bay, i wouldnt like to be the guy who forgot his basic training in the avoidance of collision at sea.

Actually, that can't happen if you let the game run but you're using another program and switch to it with Alt+Tab. Sorry if I'm going off-topic, but that post made me remember a kind of bug of SS08: if you're sailing and you switch with Alt+Tab to another program (let's say your mail client, for example), time of day and elapsed time keep running, but the ship won't move. So when you switch back to SS, time has passed but the ship is still where you left it. I guess that ships should move anyway, whenever you are looking at SS or using another program. Any opinion?
Ciao,
