Why did you post this topic in the Vessel Design Group ???
well that does make sense to be on the vessel design because u see it is a design of vessels

I can't buy it on the order screen because it costs Euros.

It depends on the Exchange Rate at the time of purchase really ;)
Use a Currency Converter if you're not sure:

Once you know the price, it's as simple as paying with your card, then your card company will take care of the rest ;)

Keep in mind that the exange rate is high,
1 euro= about 0.60 dollar.
So it will be normal that you have to pay allot more dollars for that same value in euro.

O, thats not too much. Last time, I payed 40 U.S. Dollars for ship sim 08. Its just that ship sim 08 had a U.S. cover that had all the bug fixes and everything, so I dont know if they are going to make a U.S. cover again. If not, I whould still like to buy new horizons, but I whould like to buy it where it had the price in U.S. dollars. I do not have ship sim 06 becuase I just found out they had 08. Meaning, I dont have the add on to 06. I have been searching my whole life for a game like ship sim, and I found it about a month ago. So im really hoping if the producers actually make it available in other countrys. I hope it is in the U.S. by next month!

By the way DjM, I checked that website you showed and thats all great, but I dont have any Euros to pay with, so what is the point of buying it from ship sim.com, they only accept Euros. ???

Go to your bank and send in euro from there, joust say you shall pay 21.99 to v-step euro then the bank fix it for you , send them a mail and ask how you shall send the money or
You can go to one of this sites and bay and pay in US Dollar

Euro's are the currency that Ship Simulator and 'New Horizons' are sold in, it's a European company after all ;)
Most banks will automatically convert the currency for you, I know mine does when I buy from the USA/Europe. That's why I said about buying with your card in my previous post ;)
I didn't realise you were a younger member, I guess you don't have a credit/debit card yet :)

Yea about being a young member, I am. I really love ships and yea I dont have a credit card or any debt. My mom really isint comfortable with the Idea with buying the download version. So I guess I have to wait untill the boxed version comes out. That will be fun waiting another 3 months! :P. >:(.

Hiya The Captain :)
I guess most people are worried when buying online for the first time, I know I was ;)
It's quite safe, so long as you follow some basic guidelines:
1. Make sure that the site is legitimate.
2. Make sure that your card company covers you against online theft (most do now ;))
3. Always make sure that you are purchasing from a 'secure site'. You can tell if it's a secure site in one of two ways (a padlock at the top of the page (next to your URL bar), or the web address will start with https:// rather than just http://)
4. Protect your PC with an up-to-date firewall and virus checker.
5. If you're worried, check the 'Contact Us' page, and call the company (you can usually gauge if they are genuine on the phone).
Regards.

Thanks and am I allowed to talk about something else on this messege board or am I supposed to make another post? Cause I whould like to get the same help from you, DJM. ;)
-
You're welcome :)
It all depends on the question really ;)
If I can help, I will do of course :)
Regards.
DJM.

Thanks again! I would like to ask how much ram(IN GB'S) I would need to run the game on high and what kind of video card I would need to make it look perfect, because I only have a 5,500 video card and there is a line where the ship foam ends and the smoke is comming out as little puff balls, help? ???
-
You're very welcome :)
I would recommend at least 2gb of Ram for Windows XP (3gb for Vista), but the more you have, the better things will be really ;)
As for Video cards: At least a GeForce 6 Series, although 7 or higher would be better :)
Regards.
DJM.

If you can run SS08 well, you should be able to run New Horizons well also.

Indeed you should, thanks Jack ;D
-
Thanks! ;D. I really want my mom to buy a new comp, so I just wanted to know what we should get if we do. Also, the controlls for the ocean star are very diffrent, how do I operate the controlls and what do they do? And I dont really know how to operate the red funnel ferry, the one with all the wheels, could you tell me how to controll that?
-
O, no I cant run 08 very good on my comp. I only have 512 mb of ram and a 5,500 geforce video card. I have to put the settings on low for it to run reasonably well! >:(.
-
O, never mind about the ferry controlls. I figured them out ;D. Although the next thing im going to say should probobly be in the tech support. Whenever I try to join a game online, it wont let me. I choose my ship and start position and press"join game". Then, after some time of waiting, it says" due to innactivity, you have been removed from the server. Even sometimes, it says that I have lost connection, but then I join the server again! This problem did not always occur. When I first got the game, it let me join any game I wanted for about 2 weeks, then the connection got screwed up and here I am now! I do not understand because I can connect to the internet from my comp and PS2 fine. Ship simulator is the only problem, any suggestions? ???
-
Hiya The Captain :)
Like you say, this should be in Technical Support, but your PC is under spec, so there isn't much we can do to help you with problems really, because the problems will be random ;)
Regards.
DJM/Carl.
-
What is spec?
-
Spec = Specifications ;)
Check the system requirements here:
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,635.0.html
-
O, so you mean if i get more ram and a new video card, everything will be ok?
-

Not necessarily, but it may help the situation ;)
What I am saying is, we can only offer Technical Support if your PC meets (or exceeds) those requirements :)
-
O, ok, gotcha ;). I was asking people on the servers what the matter is and they said they diddent know and to post it here. I myself thought that the problem was that I diddent have enough ram and that it was taking too long to load. I thought that is why it said "due to innactivity". My mom said she would think of the PC some new ram, but not a new video card. She is veary mad that ship sim requires so much ram and stuff, and she really does not want to upgrade the computer. I also ordered the gold addition of ship sim 06 last week and I hope it will be in my mailbox tommaro. It said on the description that it only needs 512 mb of ram and a 5500 video card, which is exacly what I have now. However, on the forum it says 1 gb and a 5600 video card. Does this mean that the game does not have good graphics and do you know if the game is good?
Ive heard talk about downloading the ships from 06 to 08, could you tell me how?
-
The best option is to follow the forum system requirements in all honesty ;)
Ship Simulator 2006 is very good, and you have some different vessels in that version too :)
The Upgrade from '06 to '08 is for purchasers of the original Ship Sim '06 Add-On. You can read more about it here:
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,3052.0.html
I'm not certain if this upgrade option is still available, because 'New Horizons' has now been officially released :-\ ;)

I can still download it from my profile, so i think its available ???
-
OOO, that raisis my hopes, I will try to follow the administrators directions best I can. If not, can I still come to you DJM? :-[
-
If you have any problems with anything relating to the forum, or Ship Simulator (any version), you can contact ANY Moderator. In PM too if you prefer :)
-
Ok I have a question about the downloading thing. The administrator said in his post how to obtain a free"NEW HORIZON" liscence key and did not say how to download from 06. Does this mean that I will not be able to download from 06? Can I put in the liscence key from 06 on my forum profile and then will it appear under or on top of my 08 liscence key?
-
As the topic states, you need to have the Ship Simulator 2006 Add-On. Enter that licence key into your forum profile, then if the download is still available, it will appear in your forum profile, with a link ;)
-
O, ok, well heres the thing. The ss06 i have ordered is the gold edition and it says that it is a combo of SS06 and the add-on. Is the license key going to be 1 or 2, and does this mean I will not be able to download anything?
-
I believe with that version, you will get 2 licence keys, one for Ship Sim '06, and one for the Add-On. The only way you will know if the download is still available, enter your licence keys when your game/s arrive ;)
-
HEHE, ok, sounds reasonable. I will let you know in school. I have computer class and my real comp teacher left to become assistant priciple so now we have a new one and basicly comp class is a free period and we get to do whatever we want. I will look for you on the forum at school and im hoping you will be on. Thanks for all your help!!! ;D ;) :D :). I will let you know how it turns out in a few days.
-
Thankfully, I left school many years ago ;D
You're very welcome of course, we're always happy to help :)
-
ok, see you around and have fun with your X-files
-
Hehe, ok thanks ;D

That's personal preference really, only you can make a decision like that :)
I think it's worth investing in to be honest, but it's really up to you ;)

ok thanks

You're very welcome :)
