Actually, there ARE some differences aside from boxart, coming preinstalled with v 1.3, and Lighthouse Interactive. To name one, the US version puts its reward money in dollars, rather than pounds.

from Fred There really just is an "English" version.I think he just doesn't understand that there is no UK or US version..

There really just is an "English" version. 

He hasn't responded yet so I would say your last post was good enough to explain to him what the deal is.

Light House Interactive is just the company that puts ship simulator onto disc's. They don't affect game play.

So you get a preview of what is in New Horizons. (If you enter a NH key it may unlock the other ships with no need to download NH?)

really? I only played the SS06 missions, as I haven't even touched the SS08 ones due to multiplayer.

Still, it isn't in the US yet. wouldn't shipping cost a ton due to getting it from the UK?

You sign into the shipsim website and get your download links. Or you go and get your saved email. But you can always login to the www.shipsim.com website with your account (not forum account) and get the download links. Or save the exe on a USB device if you are stubborn.

Ok a bit of a longer post.

Once you checkout you are prompted to either login to your account or register a new account (https://www.shipsim.com/secure/register.php).

This is seperate from your forum account.

If you forget your account information, there is a "I forgot my password" button (https://www.shipsim.com/orders/password+request.php) that you can use to retrieve your information.

If that does not work you can attempt to create a new account or contact Wout or another administrator.

Once you are able to login it will list your previous orders as well as give you download links to every purchase you make. You will also receive an email with the download links and your license key. And your license key is also stored here on the forums if you register it.

And if my email doesn't work? If I can only send, but not recieve messages?

Then you need a new email, seriously you should be able to receive messages. If you can't then who ever provides your email account is messed up.

And even to buy the boxed NH you will still need to get an email to activate your account to buy that also.

Anyway good night, it is almost 2:30AM and I have had no sleep. Gnight, hope you can make a decision with some of our help. Hope it gets all worked out. :)

Have fun, take care, and good night.

I wonder when NH should hit the US....

Oh, and it isn't the provider.

It's the Parental Controls! The option has been nothing but trouble!

On this new computer, however, we use IE, so no PC, but now I don't know the email adress!
