I update it frequently with more videos. Ones that are "unavailable" are processing and should be up within 10 minutes.

Anyway, I will get some pics later also.

I love the idea that you can make and design your own ships, i'd love to see that in ship sim, can't wait for the pictures, and i am looking forward to seeing it here on PC.

Yes you can you can customize any of the 5 real ships with your name/colors/wheelhouse. :)

One question austin do the ships build up ice. ???

When you go up north yes they do and you CAN sink if you roll over because of ice, that is why one of the options is to have crew members break the ice off the boat. I have not been able to sink yet, still trying to see what it is like.

Oh and, can you change the size of the boat? shape etc? and can you start your boat from scratch? or does it have to be based on one of the real ships but customized?

Jack. :)

Has to be based on a real ship but customized, I would have liked picking different hulls, cranes, equipment...

Thanks for answering my questions Agent, your video's are great! i know you obviously don't know this, but, you seem to know lots about computers, so, do you think it will be better on PC? or better on XBOX

would you be able to make a video of a ship in DCAS (Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm) sinking?

Jack.

Well I have to figure out how to get it to sink first, can't seem to get it, every time I hit something they just say nice driving... Even on "HARD" witch allows sinking I just can't but I will keep trying. Probably xbox, they all have the same processor and specs so they can push it right to the limit without going overboard, with the sea dynamics I don't know if older computers could run it. I don't think they have minimum specs out.

If anyone is trying to buy the game for PC, DONT, its not even worth lookin at, crappy graphics and gamewise its not much better, download the demo and you know enough.
Be warned before you spent youre money on it.

I'm pretty happy with it for a brand new game, and the proper game should be better, thats my opinion anyway, but i do agree in a certain way, that the graphics aren't fantastic in some areas, but this is the demo and its only a new game.

Here is some screens from the demo i downloaded:

Graphics look the same except for the wake, it looks to be just a texture like in ship sim, on here it is 3D and you can actually jump your wake if you turn around.

This is due to the way the game works instead of the boat just setting in the water at a certan position like its on rails. The boat actualy puts a indent in the water and has no water in it like a real boat.

if you realy need to download this is how i did it after 7 times, installed DAP (download accelerator) and started download, it took 3 times before i had 436.19 MB  thats what you need to install the demo, if you have more or less, the thing wont start or ends in the middle.

I hope this will help somewhat.

Now it won't even let me start the download :(. It says the same error message" The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a failed download, disk or virus." ???.

Post by: Mad_Fred on July 28, 2008, 01:37:38
The previously posted link to the demo repeatedly gives me a 2.94 MB file to download, and that is obviously not right. "corruption" error when you try to run that. I tried using getright, but it only ever gives me a ~3MB file.

Does anyone know if there are mirrors to get the demo? This official page does not deliver at all! Where did you get that 400+ MB file from, if I may ask, moonrider?

Not that I have high hopes for this one, but I like the series so it might be fun to take it round the block for a spin.  ;D

Hi guys,

Thanks for the offer Frank. Much appreciated.

It does however give me the 400+ MB file today, so I guess they just had things messed up on their site.

Downloading it now to have a look at it. I suspect the series is better to watch than this game is to play though.  ;D

So, you mean they are putting the demo back and taking it out for reapirs? Sort of like patching it up a bit?
Title: Re: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm
Post by: Agent|Austin on July 29, 2008, 17:44:06
No the game, it was suppose to be released a month ago but they keep "fixing" it, not the demo...

Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on July 29, 2008, 17:46:44
Yes, its getting really annoying, i hope they don't delay it again, they are probably already loosing valuable customers because of the amount of times they have delayed it.

I just checked my amazon pre-order and the they claim that it will be delivered on August 3rd with standard 5 day shipping meaning that it was released Today and it even says later down on the page that it was released today.

I think this info is a reocurring rumer. :-\

The previously posted link to the demo repeatedly gives me a 2.94 MB file to download, and that is obviously not right. "corruption" error when you try to run that. I tried using getright, but it only ever gives me a ~3MB file.

Does anyone know if there are mirrors to get the demo? This official page does not deliver at all! Where did you get that 400+ MB file from, if I may ask, moonrider?

Not that I have high hopes for this one, but I like the series so it might be fun to take it round the block for a spin.  ;D

Hi fred,

I tried this download too, and found something amazing :

-download With Mozilla Firefox + DownThemAll plugin => 3 Mb corrupted file
-with Mozilla Firefox alone => the same
-with Internet Explorer => seems to work OK !

I suppose that would make sence, since i have Internet Explorer. And i could download it perfectly.

woot, I just tried the demo ...

Well, all those who think Ship Simulator is more an arcade game than a simulator should definitively try this one !!! There's absolutely nothing realistic in this demo ... And certainly not the Ship's behaviour !!

Earlier on this topic I told you all about my texture problem,  I alt-tabed the game the other day and when I went back in the game the textures were fixed...

I tested it again today and it worked again, At least I'm not worried about the real version any more. :D

I'm loosing interest too, its just been too long to wait, it would be better if they gave us a date that they think that would out stretch the time to develop the game, that way, if its early, it looks better and people won't mind as much.

me too my dad was in town last few week and i asked him if he could look for me for the game, so maybe he could buy it.
but the stores did never heard about the game or even worse the release date of the game.
so he bought me silent hunter 4. so now i can't even buy the game any more cause i have already bought another game. i am very dissapointed in them!  :-\

Hiya Ship Sim,

If you have something more to say after you posted a message, then you can use the 'modify' button to add something more to your post. Specially when no one else has posted after you yet, it is the best option to use.

Posting several messages in a row can be interpreted as post boosting, even though you might not intend to do that. So try to use that modify option, and people won't post possible negative remarks about post-boosting.

Thanks!!

Regards,
Fred

Played the game for more then 5 hours, with everything on high the game looks great and is good playable.
BUT, there is always a but, just like in the real series, you get tired of setting out pods and getting them out again.
For the diehards, its a great game, but still got some glitches in it, but its worth "buying" or what ever you do to get it, comprende?

Title: Re: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm
Post by: The Captain on August 23, 2008, 02:39:43
Well, to be completely honest, I thought SOME(key word) of the videos were lacking everything. I mean it is nice to see workers out on the boat, but that was pretty much it. That is also why we have to have music in our SS videos because we have to keep the crowd intertained. Please don't think less of me for saying this, as this is only the opinion of one out of a million.
Title: Re: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm

It's a common misconception about why TV and computer screens flicker and have stipes on camera.  I know but I thought it was a good thing to get out on this forum.  Any Guesses? ;D
Title: Re: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm
Post by: Master Captain on August 23, 2008, 05:15:24
i've got a pretty good explaination. The waves is caused by the scren (duh :P) as the little pixels move around. thats my 2 pennies

doh! :P well i don't have any more pennies :(
Title: Re: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm
Post by: llamalord on August 23, 2008, 05:23:57
The way it works is...

...When the Refresh rate of the camera matches the refresh rate of one of the rows of pixles it will record a frame and miss a few rows while they are refreshing.  So to fix this it could never work or you can change your camera's frame rate to something higher than the TV's or if the waves are slow you can just try turnig on and off your camera.

So there you have it. ;)

Agent; are you sure? I remember a episode where the Cornelia Marie heads back to port on one engine/prop because they damaged the other one.

Denis; the vessels accalerate pretty fast, but they sail o.k. One thing that i like is the effect from the prop when you put the engine in reverse.

Even in DCAS you have rammers  :P
