I did a search on this subject but only got, (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,5359.0.html), I'm just wondering if, (when it comes out), it is possible to download 'New Horizons', (after paying for it obviously), from Vstep or somewhere? Like everyone else I don't want to wait for the postman to deliver a disc if I could download it immediately.

Hi Dave M,
Yes you can purchase a download version of the Addon from VSTEP, in the same manner you could/can also purchase their other products directly from them.
I know how you feel about that postman delivery time.. ;)
Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,
I have just had a look at the downloads available and obviously 'New Horizons' isn't on it. Is there any way that I could pre-pay for the download and leave my computer on so that it will be downloaded overnight on release day? It would save a lot of problems with the servers not being able to handle the volume of traffic. I saw Frank_Vstep's announcement that it had gone gold and I am concerned that there may be a problem. I am counting the minutes. ;D
Regards, Dave

Hi Dave,
No as far as I know you cannot pre order the download version.
You'll just have to be a little more patient. :)
It will be okay, don't worry. ;)

Will the download work with the North American version. ;)
-
I honestly do not know.. Because I do not know if there is a difference between the actual game, between the US and UK..
Might have a different box, but perhaps the rest is just the same.. I don't want to speculate though..

Sticky Shift Key?
I assume it will work because it is the same game. Why would they make it not work. :p
-
Nah, but new keyboard and it's not as nice as the old one.. but I broke the space bar on that one.
SounlessIwantedtowritelikethisIreallyhadtogetanotherkeyboard.
And yeah, it should be the same game, but it's not uncommon for games to have different langauge/country versions to which you can only install the appropriate patches or addons.

Fred <- got it this time! :)

:P
-
Well, IF it is compatible you could just install it.. and then you dont need the box..
But I don't know exacltly how it's all being done, so that's just speculation. :)

Hello there, I found a little something something that everybody may find nice to see ;).

I bought the boxed version........but my post office is shut until Tuesday :(
-
The "Big" day has arrived! ;D
"New Horizons" could be here any minute!
I'm sitting here in Australia waiting (impatiently) for the download link to appear ;)
Please give us some sort of time indication (Dutch time) when the link will be available today.
I'm ready for it, I have already bought a "twin" Joystick controller for the "Bugsier", all I have to now is wait............................................ ;)

It seems that you could download it now from here, [ http://www.gamesload.de/schiff_simulator_2008/ ], if you want. I'm not absolutely certain as I don't understand German very well.
-
That one looks like the original Ship Sim 2008 not New Horizons. This one however
http://www.gamesload.de/schiff_simulator_2008_neue_horizonte/
Is New Horizons, not real good at German but doesn't look like a pre-order to me. Looks like a download one for the German Version. Anyone who can read German wanna see?
-
Yes, sorry Cobrattack, that was the one I meant to post. :-[
-
Even if it is it I would highly suggest against getting the German version. Not only will it change all of your menus and everything into German it may not even be compatible with your current English version :-\
-
BTW nice sig saying Dave,, and sooo true!!

If you go to this link, http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,6372.0.html , you will find that some of your suggestions may not be accurate, but, I agree that it probably, no matter how desperate you are, is not a good idea to download schiff_simulator_2008_neue_horizonte if you don't understand German, however, a lot of members out there have more than one language, (I have tried very hard to learn German but failed miserably, :), at least I tried ;)), I think I may change the sig saying to, ("My grandmother says something, my ears hear something else."
The real meaning is deeper. It means that the young do not listen to the old.) ;D

Well, i think i will probably wait until English version is out, once i have ordered this awsum game(Submarine Titans) from Germany and i did not know that it was completely in German.And unfortunately i don't play it since my German is not up to standards so i can understand it as well as i thought.I'm always opened to trade it for English version anytime.
Thanks for your opinion anyway. 8)

WTH are you talking about?? I said Even if it is it I would highly suggest against getting the German version. Not only will it change all of your menus and everything into German it may not even be compatible with your current English version :-\
So sorry if I didn't want to let someone go out and buy something that may or may not even work and apparently he is having problems with the 2 verions hence the tech post.
-
It will probably be released monday or tuesday. ;)< Random guess>
-
Hopefully
-
I hope so. Don't so if it is the same in England and other countries but in France, Monday is a day off for Easter.
I hope it's not the same in England or we will have to wait at least until tuesday! ;)
-
Depending where you mean in the UK, everywhere has Monday as what is called a "Bank Holiday". That means most people have the day off. In some areas (more so in the South, but not exclusively) we also have Good Friday as a Bank Holiday. But in the Midlands and North of the country, many areas don't have the Friday off, but have Tuesday instead (part of our varied industrial heritage!).
But, as Vstep are Dutch, what holidays we have in the UK may not have a great effect. ;D
In any case, 4th April is looking to be the current favoured date (although 28th March is also mentioned elsewhere). In any case, don't get your hopes up. This/these is/are just scheduled, not promised...
-
Thanks for the explanation Terry. ;)

Hi Cobrattack, I think we have our wires crossed here. I was agreeing with you that, unless you can speak and read German well, it would not be a good idea to download the German version. There were two other people in that link who had started with the English version of SS08 and successfully upgraded to the German version of 'New Horizons'. There are a lot of people out there who are fluent in German but live outside of it. The Dutch are a multi-lingual nation and although 'ExHavendienstRotterdam' is sitting in Australia he may be able to speak and read German fluently.
Sorry if I misled anyone with that post but the message is " no matter how desperate you are, is not a good idea to download schiff_simulator_2008_neue_horizonte if you don't understand German

Hi Terry, sorry to disappoint everyone but it looks like the Netherlands Bank Holidays for Easter are 'Good Friday' and 'Easter Monday' :(. I'll just keep looking every day and be happy that it works properly when I eventually download the best ship sim around.

Hi Dave.
Note my words: "In any case, 4th April is looking to be the current favoured date (although 28th March is also mentioned elsewhere). In any case, don't get your hopes up. This/these is/are just scheduled, not promised..." ;)
But there are some other goodies on the way, I believe, so watch out for those! Keep your eye on the Annoucements section of this forum. ;) :)
