I don't know if I belive you.. ::)
where did you find the link?
Or do you mean the addon with the waterjet and hovercraft? becous that have been realeast for a quite long time..
-
No I mean the addon, not the patch...
If you have registered the license key for the 2006 addon into your profile, you will get a message there. From your profile you can then download it.
And it seems to be called " addon1" so I suppose there's more to come aswell.. This one appears to be ships only, but I may be wrong
Fred

Hi guys :)
There will be an announcement about the add-on in the announcement section tomorrow. I think that will explain what is to come and what to do.

Oh and apart from some ships there appears to be radio traffic aswell now.. (well, nto interactive but audio, like in 2006)
And a new option to choose where to start in free roam mode (or did I just not see that since I have v1.1 and was that allready changed in the patch, hmm dunno)
Ayways, I'm gonna have me some fun with the new vessels!
Regards,
Fred
-
I think I like it.. :D

Thanks, I never thought of typing in my licence number for SS2006 Add-on. I went into my profile and typed in the licence number.
Lo and behold, a link to the VSTEP server for the 2008 Add-on has magically appeared! I'm downloading the add-on as I'm typing this...... (be warned, the file size is 238Mb!)
Once again many thanks!

Hi KDS :)
Go to 'profile' in the menubar. If you have registred SS08 and SS06 add-on you should se the 'Your free Ship Simulator 2008 Add-On1 license key!' and 2 links for the download.
If you have registred both keys and do not see the links, try to unregister an re-register you keys.

Hi Mike :)
The SS08 add-on is only available for those who have SS08 and the SS06 add-on. Later on it will be available for those who just have SS08 and they will have to buy the SS08 add-on from the VSTEP website. There will be an official announcement tomorrow, Tuesday.

How does the trawler handle in 4 meter seas?
-
See for yourself ;D I wasn't able to make speed in the waves, and sometimes she bounces unrealistic.

Nice shots Ballast! :D
Do you think it bounces unrealistic? It may take a few seconds from you start a scenario to the vessel settles correctly, but from then on I think the behaviour is very realistic for such a small vessel in 4 m waves... :)

I don't think the trawler behaves realistic too, it behaves like it almost has no mass.

Well, show me some free oscillations and wave (stopped and underway) data for such a vessel and we will have something to discuss... or else it will just be one person's word against another's... ;)

Hello,
My impression of the roll period and pitch in such a sea is that the rendering is quite correct, so I agree with groennegaard, the movements are realistic enough.
But I can understand that it doesnt fully seem to be realistically rendered for everyone. The trawler still rides "high" on the waves (no fish?, no ice?, no gasoil?) and one sees that there is no wind to push the crests of the waves, giving some eerie aspect to a rather short sea.
Regards,
Luc

I went ahead and bought the add-on for ss2006 and was able to get the ss2008 add-on, so I got 2 add-ons for the price of one. ;D

Hi everybody,
This is what i mean, i wasnt able to make a good picture but i hope it will do.

Here you see that the stern is out of the water and the bow is in the wave. Sometimes when she climbes a wave she goes completely out of the water with the stern and the bow.

Looks like you have just crashed into a wave (or a wall of sea water) ;D

Hi Ballast :)
I see what you mean. I'm glad that I'm not on board... :D
I have tried taking the waves from various angles but anything even close to this never occurred. There seems to be rather large difference between how SS behaves on different systems... ::) :-\
I'll see if anything can be done to reduce this bouncing.

You'll need to enter two license keys:
-SS 2006 add-on
-SS 2008
If you don't see the new key for SS 2008 add-on, then unregister both keys and re-register. Then it should give you the new key and a download link.

I don't quite follow you Third Mate... Did you expect to get the add-on for free?! ::)
It will be possible to purchase the SS2008 add-on from the official Ship Simulator website soon.
Regards
groennegaard
-
Well not free.Im sure that won't be the best way of putting it. It's Just that i did not fully realised that you need it both keys to activate the add-on.But it is good news for me now tha the add-on will be avalible for purchase at the official SS08 web :) . It's not all that bad, i will still have a chance to experience the rest of the ships that the game has to offer.
-
To get the addon right now, but you dont have a serial of the 2006 addon. Just buy the download version of the 2006 addon and register the serial in your profile. And have lots of fun!!!!
It worked fine for me this morning.
-
I always like it in an original box, ready to install. Does anyone know when the addon will be officially released? :)
-
:D Im happy to know add on works on 2008 as well as 2006

It already exists it is the ship sim add on pack

Not entirely true.
The SS2006 Addon pack exsists as a complete pack, either boxed or as a download.
But the SS2008 Conversion isn't entirely done yet.
There is a PARTIAL download available for those who allready own the SS2006 version. This only has the ships in it. No mission yet, and there are some bugs.
The full SS2008 Addon version will come soon, when the missions are done, the bugs are ironed out and everything is tested.
So then it will be just like the SS2006 version. A boxed or downloadable version. Which has to be paid for, for those who do not own the previous version. And if you do own the 2006 pack, there will be another download link in your profile for the complete product. AFAIK
