Title: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: firestar12 on February 14, 2009, 16:46:56
Perhaps we take a look at the Ship Simulator 2010 trailer and see what we see, but are not realizing that we are seeing. Lets start off with a wave limit in harbours. As it appears in the trailer, that VSTEP has either taken the limit away (Not likely) or made the limit higher. Because if you look in this picture, it is obvious that those waves are much higher than our current limit in harbours. The mountains behind all the ships makes it obvious that it is not an open ocean. See what I'm talking about.

No secret at all. What You see in the teaser is the Strait of Dover. And as the Strait is a part of the English Channel the wave hights are the same as in open water, and NOT as in an harbour.

Post by: Nathan|C on February 14, 2009, 19:28:09
I hope so,

Dover - Calais is about 20 miles, and the current Marseille map covers about the same area, so it's possible that Dover and Calais could be in the same map...
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: The Ferry Man on February 14, 2009, 19:31:08
True, but the picture shows very rough seas, so unless Ship Sim removes the Harbour Wave Restriction, we may get the straits without the port...

It would be nice to be able to do the complete crossing without changing maps as well...

Although if we have Dover, will we be getting a Dover ferry (or two) to use, if so, it will probably be a P&O, since P&O already let us use the Rotterdam...
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: Sam on February 14, 2009, 19:32:41
Well, I shure hope that the wave height is limited in Dover harbor.

Biceaus it wouldn't be realistic to moore a ship in 5m waves inside Dover harbor.

edit: Just a second to late for The Ferry Man  :P

Even those of us that know what's planned aren't sure what will be and what will not be, yet. Too many variables involved.

Perhaps in SS10, outside the harbour walls the sea is normal sea conditions and inside the harbour it will be calmer as if the harbour walls do what they do in real life. Shelter the harbour from rough waves. ;)
I'm not saying this is the case, but it would be nice. :)
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets

The sea model in Ship Simulator Pro provides two separately controlled seas—one for sheltered areas. I don’t know if this will be part of the 2010 sea model.

I remember in a response to one of his videos, Pjotr said that the wave limit in SS10 will be 14m, the kind you get in 12 bft.

I'll try to find it again.

Sherpa entering Dover in 25-meter (significant wave height) sea.
The harbor waves are set at 0.75 meters (swh).
I don’t know if independent settings for sheltered areas will be in SS 2010.

The wind has more effect on the shape of the waves—whitecaps—than on the swh.
Again, I don’t know how much of the PRO sea model will be implemented in SS 2010. It is unlikely that VSTEP will give away many of the features that command a 4000 Euro price in Pro.

No, it is SS Pro. The 2010 teaser shows a shot of the white cliffs, so I guess that implies that Dover will be in SS 2010 since the environment is made.
The present Dover is limited in extent: The white sea extends 0.84 nm south of the west entrance to the harbor. However, there are no environment limits established yet. I don’t know if it is feasible to extend a single environment to Calais.

Dover is in ShipSim Pro! What is it like in game?

Hopefully since it is in SSPro, and we see the Cliffs in the trailer, it could well be in SS2010... :)

Wow that image looks familiar, was viewing about that same angle a few days ago in reality on the Maersk Dunkerque. Can't wait for SS2010 if that environment is going to be in game, it looks like they've included the ferry terminals too. Thanks for the picture M/V Smith.

Sydney Harbour is one of the finest harbours anywhere in the world.  Perhaps if you live there you become blasé toward it, but as an occasional visitor, whenever I'm there on business I always take the time to walk down to Circular Quay, The Rocks and the Opera House.  The view across the harbour, with that enormous coathanger looming in the background, is simply magnificent  :o 8)

It will be interesting to see how much of the environs are included - will HMAS Onslow be shown in her usual mooring at the National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, and if so, would that make her the first submarine to appear in Ship Sim?  ???

It may not just be the Port of Dover though, as i said somewhere, if VSTEP models the whole channel with all the ports (Dover, Dunkerque, Calais) it will be brilliant for ferrying. This is actually possible to put Dover and Calais in the same enviroment, as the two are only about 20 mile apart. Currently the Marseille enviroment covers the same, if not more area, so it's perfectly possible for this to happen.

mvsmith told us above, the SS Pro Dover isn't very big, but who knows what VSTEP will do with it from now and the release of SS10.

Hi Nathan,
A Dover—Calais environment would need to be about 20 nm wide. The diagonal extent of Marseille is only about 16 nm from the NE corner of the harbor to the SW corner of the environment. Most ocean environments are only 15 nm wide. It is not certain that there is a limit at that value.

VSTEP are, understandably, reluctant to expose details of a product that is still under development.
There is much more at stake financially in Pro than in SS NP. Exposing it in an environment where it would receive the gratuitous criticism seen in an above post would not be a good idea.
If you are interested, you could visit their website for details on Pro and their many other projects.

I see, Marseille certainly looks a lot bigger on the map.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: matt5674 on February 26, 2009, 02:36:19
Marseilles is alot bigger than other sized maps but small in-game cause you don't sail to the western part of that map. Were just traveling to the Marseilles harbour on the eastern side and thinking the map is small. look at the map in starting location and zoom out all the way and move the map to be on the western side so you can see the rest of the map.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: mvsmith on February 26, 2009, 03:24:49
As stated in the Mission Editor tutorial, the limit of the Marseille environment is an arc 6 nm from the NE corner of the harbor. To find the distance from the NE corner to the SW corner of the map, place a ship in the NE corner of the harbor and a waypoint in the SW corner of the chart.

No. Rotterdam is approximately 22 nm wide. The environment limits are somewhat less than that.

Hamburg is about 8 nm wide

Will there be any previews in matter of the spring season?
I'm hoping to see some more previews, maybe a new "inside video" from the developer.

At the northern hemisphere (or we who live up in the north) the season summer starts at June (according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer)).
The teaser was released at 18 December 2008. So between December and June there is 6 months (If the release date is 18 June 2009). Now between those dates there is 182 days.
So if we take the half of the 6 months we will end up at 3 months or 90 days (18 March 2009)...
But today (when my reply was written) the date is 26 March 2009. So I'm pretty sure that when there was no new teaser video or inside video posted at March 18 we will see a new announcement at April 18.
Now this whole time calculation would fail if the release date is 18. July 2009...so this is just a estimated release time (ERT) from me if there is a given period of 6 months exactly between those two dates (18/12/08-18/06/09).
But as I know they usually have some bugs to fix and some delays that may arrive...so I guess that a ETR set to 18 July 2009 is a better match than 18 June 2009.

So my illusion of this says that Ship Simulator 2010 will be out at exactly 18 July 2009 or more possible around that time +/- 3-4 days :D ;D

Post by: matt5674 on March 30, 2009, 19:40:34
One thing i know about SS10's system requirements is that it needs a windows XP/2000
/vista to play it with 1GB(XP) or 2GB(vista).
It has the same system requirements like the other Ship Simulators.
And another thing I know, about the ships, is that the New Horizon ships are no longer addon ships. and for a request, maybe having the SS06 walking style will make it realistic and a model of a Sim you designed for the ship(E.X. Titanic- Crew- Captain). you can be a crewman, the captain, or a passenger of someone elses ship in multiplayer, and the lifeboats do lauch as long as the ship your on has lifebats.

that is just what I think Ship simulator 2010 will have. I was also thinking for the new ships(like Queen Mary 2) will have a mission that is based on a real life cruise or adventure ;). For example, Britannic is heading to a island with some wounded soldiers. Get to the island without going through enemy territories.

Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on March 30, 2009, 19:54:40
Yeah, its probably best that if you are only basing it on your opinion, to say so Matt. I think V-STEP will release the information to us all via the website when they feel they are near completion of the new Simulator, or when they have completed it and its down to the Publishers.

But thanks for the opinion! ;)

As I am not aware of the requirements, I thought it unlikely that those were facts.  :evil:

But then, sometimes people forget to tell me things. Or I forget (I am VERY absent minded).

The problem is that once someone says "This is so" or "this will happen", someone else will quote it, and soon everyone assumes Vstep made that claim. When the information is subsequently shown to be wrong, Vstep get the blame.

Well I have that now.. and sometimes it struggles on the really heavy missions with a lot of traffic..

Soo..  dunno..   ::)

Might be the minimum, but for a really good sim experience, a bit more might be handy..

All of which is still all speculation of course.. It'll be clear once the sim is alot further in development..

the world`s largest double-ended ferry and the BCFerries is the one of the largest passenger ferry line in the

world. So I think  Coastal Renaissance should be in shipsim 2010.

Well I have that now.. and sometimes it struggles on the really heavy missions with a lot of traffic..

Soo..  dunno..   ::)

Might be the minimum, but for a really good sim experience, a bit more might be handy..

All of which is still all speculation of course.. It'll be clear once the sim is alot further in development..

Sounds like I should invest in a new PC then :-X I did guess about 2 GB of RAM for the new SS, or 1 and a bit, but I only have 1, so It sounds like Its time for an upgrade. At least I got my money's worth out of this computer! Had it for 5 years now!

hi guys,
thinking about this picture that was posted at the beggining of the topic, isn't it really a big give away?
Because the cliffs are in the background, rough seas (prefferibly because the seas aren't always calm around Dover, I know because I live there!!), and 2 PORs because P&O dominate the the Port of Dover with there 7 ship fleet based there and one of which is my forum name. But I have a good website on the Port of Dover (which I think NathenC would like) called DoverFerryPhotos. www.doverferryphotos.co.uk :captain:

Hahaha...haha..lol (joke aside) :D :D :D

No my friend, because you need to change the mother board the day you need a new processor and it's using another type of CPU slot. You can use the tower (cabinet) over and over and over. You may have to change the PSU (power supply) sometimes when the new components requires more power. :)

In fact the only time you can "blow up" a computer would be to use your screw driver inside the tower when the power is turned on. It would not blow it up at all, just make some sparks and smokes and some electro shocks in your hand... :D

I did experience this a couple of years back, it made a small spark and a ugly smell of burned plastic.
I also had a accident with tower with a special cooling system where my processor where burned and the whole room did smell burned CPU (because of a production error from the factory). Out of the tower I could see some blue smoke raising and that was it. It didn't start any fire, just a spark or (small "pooooff") and the CPU died... and of course a loud beepy alarm from the mother board ;D

You can start talking about blowing a computer the day a thunderstorm strikes your computer...probably some parts of your house is blown away in the same time ;D

Well I nice try from you to make a big myth about PC building there.. :lol:

Mate of mine had a lighting strike just 10 meters from his house.. everything inside was toast, yet still no exposions..(apart from the one outside destroying a tree in the process..)

But everything electric was dead. (Luckily no personal injuries, that's of course the most important thing).

Usually it's the same with the hardware as it is with software, it's BSOD. With software it's the screen, with hardware the smoke..  :)

Once that Blue smoke and typical burned electronics smell have been released, it's ripe for the bin..
I learned that the hard way too..  ("Suuure, I can do that myself!  slip...scratch.. poof!)   ;D

I have learned much since, luckily.. hehe

Ok, guys...  Back to discussing SS10.

In a teaser video there was a tropic environment shown. I was looking everywhere on Phi Phi Islands in Mission Editor from different angles & I haven't found a place with such shape mountains which were in the video:

(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq268/1j1j1/1-46.jpg)

So, probably there's some other tropical environment in SS10 + to release Phi Phi islands again in 3rd time I think would be boring...


Sorry, if this was said somewhen in endless topics about SS10, haven't found it myself.
Could be a addition to the Phi Phi enviroment. Like a new island.. Other than that I don't know..

Post by: Nathan|C on April 01, 2009, 17:58:01
I think MVsmith gave the location away in another, older post. Can't remember where, but it isn't Phi Phi  ;)

Yes Capt. Button it would be great if P&O were in SS2010 again, especially with the Pride of Kent/Canterbury/Burgundy or the new ships, and it could happen because P&O have already got a ship in SS, which possibly strengthens the chances. (And yes, I use that site, it's great  :thumbs: )

Post by: Mad_Fred on April 23, 2009, 14:11:06
Hi premier1guy, and welcome to the forum!  :)

SS08 and SS10 will be two different products. So more than likely you will not get a discount if you buy SS08 just before SS10.

The full price of SS08 includes all that is in THAT product, you're not paying for future version too if you buy SS08, so that's not like paying twice once you pay for SS10, they are two different games.

I bought SS06 right before SS08, that was my own choice, just like it would be yours if you decide to buy both. Granted, SS06 was reduced in price because it was older, which may also happen with SS08, but I did not get a discount, and wouldn't have expected one. They are standalone products, and both have their own pricetag.

Hope that explains!

Regards,
Fred

P&O have the most ships going from Dover,
Pride of Burgundy
Pride of Kent & Pride of Canterbury are sister ships.
Pride of Dover & Pride of Calais are sister ships (soon to be scraped for two new ships, should be coming 2010-11.)
European Seaway & European Endeavour(Freight Ships)

Sea France have 4-5 Ships I think, not too sure.

What do you think if they will add in SS2010 in the multiplayer the abillity to talk between players with a microphone or something like we use in yahoo messenger?
From my oppinion it will be much better.When you whant to type a msg to somebody you can't control the vessel.But so you will need to push only a buttuon and talk.
This thing if they add to it it will encrease verry much the realism of the game.I don;t know if it will be hard or easy to put this option in the game.What do you think about this??

Straight relative to the ship—not always relative to the sea when the ship is underway.

Here is JOIDES Resolution in Barbados, preparing to leave on ODP leg 207 to drill into cretaceous time in order to measure the climate back then.
As I recall, the ugly ship on the left is Star Princess.

#2 is an older picture of JR. Between the helipad and the derrick is the pipe rack. Forward of the derrick are the labs.

#3 is a picture of the ship’s officers…er, no…they are the drilling crew from the Philippines.
 
#4 is the scientific party—29 members from nine nations.

Hi D,
It would probably be a static ship, if she is in at all. There would be little to do with her in missions as a player ship. The really interesting activity takes place on the drilling floor and in the labs. On that particular leg she crossed the equator, so there was fun torturing the pollywogs.

OK Sam, you are quite correct. I'll stop the teasing now, the "tower" is actually a flare support, (I do not know what it is really called) which carries the burning waste gases well away from the platform.

Post by: mvsmith on June 01, 2009, 14:05:48
Gentlemen,
To settle the matter, here is the tip of the tower. Any more of the structure will have to be approved by Frank.
In the picture from Extremes, you are facing the end of the structure with the tower; that is why the tower appears to be at that angle. My shot—in Marseilles—was at a slightly different angle to show the other features more clearly.

I think Matt is confused by the shift in subject. His mind seems fixed on the image that has been identified as a natural gas production platform.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: mvsmith on June 02, 2009, 13:58:44
What I am saying is that the natural gas production platform Norman 1 that is modeled in SS Pro does, indeed have two cranes in addition to the flare tower. They are barely visible on the left and right sides of the image in question. Their booms are in a lowered position.

This view of the cranes is at right angles to the view from Extremes.
The flare tower sticks out  at an angle of about 30 degrees from vertical, so it appears to be at different angles depending upon the direction of view.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: mvsmith on June 02, 2009, 14:29:26
The legs of Norman 1 are of large diameter and, viewed from some angles, appear as a single hull.

Hi D,
Yes, the general layout is the same as N1.
N1 is a very high poly model, and LOD had kicked in at the zoom level of my shot. The cranes do have cables and detailed booms.

OK. This has to be the last one, before Frank stomps me.

There is only a small angle of view that puts the flare tower at the right angle without opening a hole between the legs. I missed it slightly.

Both Polar Regions are properly called “arctic”. Antarctica is a continent in the South Arctic region.

It is unkind of you to imply that the Developers don’t know which way is up. By way of nit-picking, one might also say that “SS2010” is a mistake.

Title: Re: Ship Simulator 2010-unlocking the secrets
Post by: TerryRussell on June 15, 2009, 20:22:55
"Arctic" is the region at both poles.

In the north, the "arctic region" is the area north of 66° 32′ N (often taken as 66½° N). Within these regions the sun does not set on June 21 (the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere) nor rise on December 22 (the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere)

"Antarctic" means "southern arctic", loosely translated, or perhaps "under arctic".

"Antarctic" is the region that includes "Antarctica".  i.e. South of 66° 32′ S (often taken as 66½° S). Within these regions the sun does not set on December 21 (the summer solstice in the NSouthern Hemisphere) nor rise on June 22 (the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere)

"Antarctica" is the continent.

Who on earth believes anything that bunch of self-appointed know-nothings says?

According to them, I died some years ago from alcoholic poisoning in a Tibetan monastery. They withdrew it when I was on the verge of having their site closed down, under legal duress.

No, I trust the Oxford University resources.

"Arctic is the term for polar regions past the circle of 62o 32'", as I stated previously. Bothe the North and South poles are arctic regions. the southern one is known as Antarctica.

You have to be very fluent in English to understand the subtle differences in the meanings.

A hint that we'll have an option to launch lifeboats soon?

That gives a fantastic insight to how ships are put together and helps us modellers to attempt to have our vessels put into the game.

You didn't got my point. I ment that if lifeboat is mentioned on that picture too & in slideshow there was about SS Pro or SS10, could be that there will be an option to launch lifeboats if they're shown as a moving parts, as I said before.

Its been mentioned before, but i am very doubtful it will be included. And That was all about modelling vessels, i dont see how that could have any connection to a hint with having launchable lifeboats in SS10

I could help you with lightmaps. Basically, it is just a texture to make the ship LOOK like it is realistically lit. If you ever need help, don't be intimidated to ask me.

Frame 37 on that slide show seems to show that mystery rig from before in a far better view!

Also, frames 40 and 10 show more views of Dover.

Frame 10 also shows that effect where the waves decrease in height as you enter the harbor.

It shows all the models that are included and that you have to make + textures, lightmaps etc.
It easy to think that this looks so easy for totally new add-on developers, but this slide just shows that it's not that easy. So keep up practicing folks, maybe one day VSTEP will accept your new ships! ;)

Bear in mind that the lights are a set of polygons. As they get more complex, you run the risk of the game going slower and slower and ultimately crashing, with Questviewer giving you a report about it (and being accused of being the cause of the crash, as always!)

Doubt it.. That's a feature of Pro.. And I don't see VSTEP adding this to the game version..

One wonders one thing... and this isn't in any way a criticism of Vsteps business model (quite the reverse as I think they give away too much stuff in the game).

It has been suggested repeatedly (not by Vstep themselves, though) that the main reason for not adding the same environments as in the PRO version is to avoid undermining the euro4000 of the professional edition- a VERY valid point!

However, it isn't just the additional environments that set apart the game from the pro version, as they are designed for totally different uses.

Not that I think Vstep is overly interested in my humble opinion, but I don't think the omission/inclusion of Calais is going to have the big shipping operators in a sweat. However, I think Vstep is missing a trick and should limit the number of environments and ships in the main release and charge extra for downloadable extra environments. That way they make more money, we get the environments and everybody (mostly...) is happy(ish)

I'm afraid that my one (and only real) complaint about SS is the leaving port and being teleported to the middle of the sea and then exit... I know everyone has their own opinions on what is wrong, but this is one that has been mentioned by a lot of people.

That is the Nishan Maru the Whaling factory ship i would love to see that ship on the bottm of the Ocean

Evil Whalers the whalers have anopther ship called the Oriental Bluebird its there gassoline ship!

The Nishan Maru is a Factory ship it process whale meat and prepares it for shipment back to japan

Whaling vessels have very large cranes, two at most and almost look like oilrigs from afar. This was told by me of what Whaling Ships look like. :thumbs:

Acualy no they dont the Nishan Maru 2 has a harpoon and when a whale is struck then they get a shot gun and shoot its head then once done they tie the tailfin to the side of the boat and wait for the nishan maru to attach a wire and drag the whale up the ramp!

What I really would like to see in the next Ship Simulator are not so much a lot of new environments, but more to do and more love for the details in the existing ones. I am a fan of ferries. So what I would like to do is take the Red Eagle from Southampton to Cowes, but not quite the way you can to it now. It would be great to have a more real environment and not have to play everything out in your head. For example, it would be nice to have the Red Funnel timetable and have the AI stick to it. Also it would be a great improvement, if you could actually moor the ferry at either of the terminals. Also opening the doors and having cars/passengers get on and off, would add greatly to realism. These relatively small changes would go a long way. In general more AI controlled ships would be desirable. Sailing into an Europoort devoid of activity isn't really that much fun - or realistic for that matter. If they do Dover - Calais, they should built all the ferry models and have simulated ferry and cross traffic. Depending on your machine they could maybe create a slider, that would control the amount of simulated traffic. From low for slow machines to realistic for high end computers. Just my two cents.

From

•   Wide range of vessels to control, including hovercrafts, coast guard interceptors, mammoth tankers, tugs, cruise liners, and many others.

Hovercrafts

Could we be getting another...

We have Dover coming (probably), Maybe a SR.N4 Car Carrying giant...

Though slightly saddened by lack of mention of ferries...

Indeed, but that's what the ESRB rating board requires us to do if we want to avoid the video being banned. It's a fairly new guideline for all videos of games they have not yet rated. Even Spore had this in its trailer.

Anyway, we are grateful of all your feedback and wishes and while we cannot please everyone (not by a mile) and/or put everything in Extremes, and we realise that we are sometimes too busy to give you guys frequent updates, rest assured that everything is read and taken into account when we have design meetings. Bottom line is that we all wanna make this a game you'll love playing. Because, as I have told numerous journalists over the last couple of days at GamesCom: our community is and always will be very important to us.

Keep up the good work and keep on posting!

Frank

Now if we look at the Ship Sim Gamescom Trailer, at 51 seconds the two frigates are different classes. I suspect that they are the Karel Doorman Class Frigate, and the La Fayette Class Frigate.

Also, the specs sheet for the vessels are there too, which should make for some interesting reading....

Maybe a "Clipper or Fed Nav" vessel could be in the mix..

Well the Moliere is shorter, and can only berth in Dover 9

But the Moliere's doors are offset on the other side compared to the PoR, so the PoR should berth only at berth 8

(We can imagine that the PoR has been converted to work from a Dover berth, the loading ramp replaced by doors ala the Moliere)

What he means is that the red lamp should be port side, the green should be starboard. Here' it's the other way around..

Correction...The Term "Navigation Lamps" hasn't been around in years, They're called Navigation Lights (Or Nav. Lights for short) now... ;D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_light

Why on Esperanza's starboard the side light is  red ?
If you give the light at one side red-red, the other side must been green-green. That means the way you can sail along the ship.

this lights are specially for anchor handling and fishing operations, when the ship has equipment in the water at one side.

I have just seen this video on YouTube, does this mean VSTEP has finally decided to allow warships in SS2010 Extremes?

Also, has anyone noticed that Red Jet 4 was riding out rough seas outside the Dover harbour? Remember we are currently unable to have big waves in harbour environments such as New York, Rotterdam, the Solent etc with SS2008?
Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets

Yes, I think that's the idea - it adds to the realism.

Even in the SS2008 Solent environment when you leave the Portsmouth Harbour or Cowes on Isle of Wight, the sea is still flat, even though you've set it with higher waves in free roaming.

Doesn't mean it will be included in SSE, or even help the Dover-Calais in the same environment campaign to say that list makes it look like they're even in seperate enviroments in the SS Pro. Makes it feel less likely!
Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: Stuart2007 on October 11, 2009, 09:35:39
SS Pro is not the same as SSE, as we all (mostly) know. If I understand right, the engine for SSP is actually based on SS9, and SSE is a NEW engine... - a guinea pig experiment, possibly.

Anyway, as Capt D says, it is ir-relevant. However, even if it is in seperate environments, if they are faster loading and do not stop the ship whilst loading (think how MSFS does/did it) then perhaps that is viable.

well i think that presentaion let someone who asked the question " how can it be Dover when there are big waves, I thought that you couldnt have big waves in harbour areas" I remember someone saying something like that but i cant remember who it was. If the presentation is for the pro version will the upgrades also be in the home version?

Wasn't going to make fun of him for that Gigantic, don't act like you know me. I know what he meant, im not an stupid.

And i was telling him the truth, nobody on the forum except maybe the staff knows if Singapore or Dover will be in ShipSim Extremes for sure.

Thats not being smart, and certainly not cocky. Maybe you should take things the way they were meant Scanman. In numerous situations you've completely disregarded what I've told you, just to be told the same thing by another member or staff member.

Do you have something against me or something?

I'm getting tired of all these rumors, just shut it and wait for Vstep to announce the real date!

And amazon has been wrong many times before ;)

Accualy Vstep posted that product up on Amazon it was posted by the developers so that date is quite Correct

Post by: Mad_Fred on January 14, 2010, 04:22:53
But not definate...

 ;)

People.. it's all speculation anyway.. And in this stage of development things can't be guaranteed yet. 99% is way too optimistic too.

Q2 is to be expected. Things may still change. When Vstep posts a definate date, thén it will be confirmed, not before.

Let's talk about something that's actually gonna do some good.. like whaling..  ::)

(Just kidding, whaling is no longer an accepted topic on this forum, actually. Courtesy of the few that ruined it for the rest.)

I'm fine with it being June. I don't want it to be rushed, and I'm sure neither do others. It will be done and released when its complete.  So why is June not acceptable? Because your not patient enough just to wait an extra few days for the release.

Well, you haven't got quite all the vessels in your list. For instance, the Jumbo Pontoon is a separate vessel to Javelin. Last month I was studying the technical specifications for Maersk Discoverer... (no promises, though)

But, I also have a couple of things that aren't AI, nor static nor player vessels. You couldn't guess them...

haha this is my opinion and not to offend anyone or anger anyone, but we've noticed that when we wait vstep tends to release to us better products i mean think of shipsim08 they had many push backs and compare it to 2006. so if we wait well who knows what could happen to the game. and besides we shouldnt wrap our world around the release date of the game.

Naval sim,sounds like this game is with warships.
Its should be renamed.

Many  people think that “Naval” and “Maritime” mean the same. They are wrong, of course.
What has a Playstation game by KOEI to do with this? Unfortunately some readers can become confused as to the subject under discussion by pictures without adequate text.

I strongly feel those aren't real shots, each of them have their kinks, like the Titanic picture, and her wake is all wacky, and in the one of the classic yacht, you can clearly see that:

A: The picture of the boat was just pasted on, look at it in full res and it's lower quality than the rest of the pic too
B: The huts are clearly real...

Have you tried viewing these in full resolution and looking in at that up close? It's obvious these are not game shots, but most of these aren't even real. Most of these are just photoshopped in. You can see around the edges that it was faked. ::) :sleepy:

What I'm saying is that the screen shots don't represent ANY game.
@ Pride of Dover: No, it can't be that because they're extremely high quality. Anyway, a bad upload wouldn't explain why just the cheap cutout of the yacht was lower quality than the rest of it. Look at Titanic's wake in the picture, does that really look like it's in a game? It doesn't even follow the same pattern as the waves, or even the camera perspective.

I hope the VSTEP developers are hard at work on the game and not making boxes for the publishers.
That is what the publisher does. They also handle advance publicity and supply artwork to distributors like Amazon. That artwork may change during the period prior to release.

I’d be more interested in seeing the back of the box where, according to one complaining user, all of the faulty missions should be listed.

Amazon is also quoting a release date in April and not including Win7 as a supported OS, so there is little reason to regard the box cover as up to date.

will the sinking of the titanic (or any other ship) be more realistic? because on Youtube, the titanic hits the iceberg, and just.. sinks. no spectacular  breaking up or walls caving in. that is the only complaint ive got about SS8.

Post by: Captain Calmac on March 05, 2010, 18:15:48
Yeah, im aware of that, but when, if accidental or not, you hit an Iceberg, quay, another ship, etc, you expect it to sink in the way that normal ships do. I mean, about 1 in 20 ships that sink sink in the way portrayed in SS08.

and also you havent answered my question. will SSE sink like SS08?

see my point?

Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: mvsmith on March 05, 2010, 19:40:10
In order for a ship to break up while sinking, every ship would need to be modeled in pieces in the first place and equipped with complex dynamics to make each piece behave realistically when separated and stay together when not sinking.

This would require a huge redesign effort and place a much higher burden on the system. Because sinking is such a minor occurrence when the simulator is used as it is intended, and as the majority of customers want to use it, it is unlikely that such effort would be justified to satisfy the lusts of a lunatic fringe.

Any speculation on whether a particular system wiill perform satisfactorily with Extremes is just that –speculation.

The true requirements for Extremes will not be known until the completion of beta testing, if then.

We spend much time answering complaints from users who say their systems meet the published minimum requirements for SS 2008.
Meeting such requirements is not the whole story. How you have installed SS, how you have configured your system, what else is running in the background, all affect the performance.

The only thing I can find that you have added to this topic is "I am looking forward to Rainbow Warrior the most". So do you have any right to complain at people who are discussing the possible system requirements of SSE?

Any speculation on whether a particular system wiill perform satisfactorily with Extremes is just that –speculation.

The true requirements for Extremes will not be known until the completion of beta testing, if then.

We spend much time answering complaints from users who say their systems meet the published minimum requirements for SS 2008.
Meeting such requirements is not the whole story. How you have installed SS, how you have configured your system, what else is running in the background, all affect the performance.

So you don't know the requirements until they beta test it?
Well all i know is that my laptop is using Intel GMA X4500M video card with up to 830MB of shared video RAM and DirectX 11 . And to improve the speed of the processor, i bought a 4GB flashdrive and configure it with a Ready Boost software.

Ship Simulator Extremes is the working title of the next instalment in the Ship Simulator series slated for release in June 2010. ;D It will be released by June 6, 2010.

Additions to the game include new locations (including Antarctica and Bora Bora) as well as new ships (including official licensed Greenpeace vessels) and new dynamic weather and water systems. :D Following a campaign by members of their growing fanbase, Vstep agreed to include the ports of Dover and Calais (in one environment). :2thumbs:

Why just not waith and see.
I think this way you can make yourself dissepointed,when a particular vessel seems not to be in the new version.
Just leave it untill it's on the marked.
Or!! when Vstep opens a bit the door.

Looking at the stern of the lifeboat in the picture shown. I can clearly see a connecting point and what looks like a length of chain joining the boat to the launching frame. However, we do not know, but it is much more interesting to speculate about that than counting rivets on "Titanic". ::)

That ship, which has erroneously been called a repaint of Latitude, was borrowed from that other VSTEP project and given propulsion.
The presence of a “Bulk” attachment in the 2008 mission editor leads to speculation that the bulk crane might make an appearance as well.

Look, calm down. It's easier for them to get it since, like you said, they live closer. Also, they don't always get things first. Be careful where you use that word. The US gets the first dibs to major releases most of the time. ;)

SS isn't a major release. Anyway, you'll have SSEx soon enough, don't worry. It's a fact of life, Europeans are probably going to get SS sooner because they live in Europe. You can't change that. ;)
ok. you do have a point there. i got a little out of control and a little bit in a bad mood. sorry

I'm waiting for the moment when VSTEP combines those Sim's SSE, Lock and Dry Bulk Sim into one BIG Sim.
It would cost some money, but it would be worth every cent/penny, I believe.

It was the same story with SS2008 - it was several months late, so we should expect the same with SSE.

It annoys me sometimes, but you can't win, if they say Q2 or Q3 then you want to know more exact, if they have "in 2010" then people want to know if its tomorrow or at the very end of the year and if they don't say at all people still what to know. And when they do say when, they just push it forwards. so its a no win situation.

I don't mind the date being out back...

(Well I do slightly,, but I would rather have a game that works then a rushed product that doesn't)

And I know the developers are extremely busy...

But it would be nice to have some sort of update every so often, even if it is just something simple like "the game is coming along OK..."

We was told at the beginning of April that by the end of April we would be getting a SSE site and pre-order facilities, now yes I accept that problems do occur, but a week into May, surely a small apology about the delaying, and that it will be coming shortly?

Sorry, I know you guys (developers) out there are working hard, and I am looking forward to the game, and I am not trying to be some ignorant fool always wanting more. I am not intending this post to be disrespectful towards you

That's the reason why many software companies use the term "Q2", "Q3" etc as it gives them some leeway if things slip further. It is too vague to put in an exact release date.

Totally agree with you TFM

I'm not completely bothered about the release date being pushed back, if it has to be it has to be. But as you said there would be a new website up at the end of last month, and no sign of it, nothing has been heard here like 'Sorry the website for Extremes isn't up yet because blah blah blah...'

VSTEP, we know you are busy, but if you say you are going to do something and don't then say nothing about it like no one cares, I'm really going to loose trust in everything you say..

But it was like what i said in one these discussions throughout this forum. Development takes time especially when it comes to building games of great complexity. They must make sure that the game with ships and environments are implemented properly before they can move on otherwise it might end up like what they did to the Flying Cloud and Wachthaven III with no wake, smoke, etc. Creating 3d games like SS won't be that easy and bound to take a longer period to implement.

That's why they hire people, and those will also be paid for their job.
More features may need more employees, (or developers that some prefer to call them).

What I don't understand in the name of this world, is that some kids prefer to rant a lot about the price of games? Well, first, they write a 10 mile long wish list, and secondly, their rant about the price of the game... ::)

At my web blog, where I post news articles around SSE, there was one commenter that wrote: "Do I have to pay for SSE?"... :D :doh: ( :doh: x5). I mean, seriously, how would SSE become if we didnt support VSTEP at all..?

As part of a reply to one of my remarks about this topic on the German Forum mr. Bottmann said, among other things, this:
(Qoute) Wir bekommen laufend neue (Alpha-)Versionen zum Testen (Unquote)
which means, freely translated: "We are getting new (Alfa-) Versions to test on a regular base".
So, when there are regular Alfa versions to test it can't be too long before the final version could be in the test-phase. Right?

Hi The Ferry Man
The game is in alpha witch mean v-step with other people test the game for bugs /flaws on
different machines reporting there findings to the programer's until they think the game is
ready for next step.
Then it is given to beta testers as well as alpha and the process starts again finding all the faults
within the game from different computers I/E diff ram ,diff graffics cards and so on.
 When all this has been done to the satisfaction of v-step the game can be released.

Hard one to answer the more complicated the game the longer the testing so
            really depends on what is found and if it can be made to work if not can it be
            replaced .   so all we can do is wait and hope v-step give us some update soon

Also the lag that is messing up with some servers causing your ships to sink isnt really helping either.

The lag you are experiencing on MP is nothing to do with the game, it's the internet connection of you and the other players. Chances are, it's your system causing the QuestViewer crashes too...

Or even better build one yourself. I do not, and have never, had any problems with Ship Simulator. I have been playing it for two years, both on MP and off. Like I said, this is not the game throwing up this error, or every computer it runs on would fail. It is an error derived from the computer running it.



So a game like ship simulator 2008 which doesnt have something like a current or the ability to change your lights if your towed just isnt a simulator.

1. Current.
No doubt this is a feature of the €4000 professional simulator that Vstep sells. You pay for that kind of realism.

2. Towing lights.
Look the next time you hook up a tow. See the lights change accordingly? Moor up and turn the engines off. See the lights go off? You should try doing a little research before making yourself look daft.


Oh, and putting a space in a swearword does not make it allowed. If a moderator catches you, they will act accordingly.

Ok im gonna put this nicely because ive read all your posts if you dont like SS and the way it runs on your PC there are 3 Options

1) Go Buy Virtual Sailor Perfect for low spec  PCs and it features a Online Feature

2) Go Buys FS ore MSTS those are two simulators that dont take as much specs as ship sim as

3) Go Buy a New PC

Ship Sim Requires 2.4ghz
A STABLE INTERNERT Connection (I used your Word)

So those are you options i find when ive played SS online in the past that you can for sure play SS for hours without a single error message ive been playing SS science i heard of SS06 So If you dont like SS06 or SS08 Please refer to the above options THANK YOU and SSE will probarbly not run on your PC so Post your DXdiag so we can see the problem!

Actually, with respect, after looking at your posts all you've done since registering on January 14th last year is predominantly moan moan moan. May I just ask, if it is so bad why have you stuck with it all this time? :)

Professional mariners, retired and newly qualified use this simulator, and they don't seem to have a problem with it. If you want currents, then perhaps Virtual Sailor (http://www.hangsim.com/vs) is something for you to consider. However if you try that you might see that Ship Simulator is actually a much better simulator.

In fact, you didn't just say that you hope Extremes will be better, you grasped the chance to have another moan. So it's bound to ruffle a few people's feathers I'm sure.

As many others have said above, no one is forcing you to stay. I'm sure your flight simulator is beckoning as we speak! :thumbs:

I agree with this. We aren't too concerned about what you are saying,  a few people do have stability issues, but what we don't agree with is the way you are behaving. You would do better to examine your attitude, change it, and listen to what people are telling you

Until you behave in an acceptable manner, nobody will talk to you.



Anyway, with that little bit of housekeeping swept under the carpet, let's get back on topic.

VSTEP are very very open to direct suggestions, if you email them they might consider it, assuming they have the time (and that the game is at the level of being able to display that), but that's the biggest difference between VSTEP and like, Microsoft for example, if you email VSTEP you might get a reply from Pjotr himself, but consider the odds of getting a reply from Bill Gates when you email Microsoft.

The size of the companies are not the same.... ;)

If it was just my system you really think you would see plenty of posts about it on the forums?
Also the lag that is messing up with some servers causing your ships to sink isnt really helping either.

And i played it last night aswell , spend like 30 min. going through new york with a latitude.
Then all the sudden the game decided to crash.


http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,12580.msg151656.html#msg151656
I find it odd that you are so certain your system is fine for the game and yet when asked to post your Dxdiag some time ago you appear to have declined to do so.  So very many players find the game to be playable without the problems you describe that it does really seem strange that more do not make the same complaint.

Post by: Daisai on May 11, 2010, 12:05:16
Happy now ?
Still doesnt change the fact that ship simulator really need to spend way more time on more details to be called a proper simulator.
Right now trying to get a huge tanker from point a to point b can be done in a way to simple way.

Things like low and high tides.
Being able to moar your ship online , something that cant be done in multiplayer except with anchors.
Also with the new released ships like the inland ships where to bow proppeller isnt working like it does in real.
Also being able to change from full ahead to full back goes way to fast , most ships you have to wait a few seconds before being able to do this.

I can go on and on with this and give plenty of reasons why this ship isnt really a good simulator.
Things that are small details which can make the game way and way better on the simulator part.

Then again if you have to pay over 4000 euro's to get something like that i find that pretty much a rip off , i might aswell just steer the ship on my work a bit more then.

I am neither happy or unhappy really. I do think you are very rude though. However as was pointed out on January 20th, 2009, your graphics card is actually "stealing" 1279MB of memory from your RAM. The RAM is 3070MB which with the 1279MB subtracted leaves only 1791MB of RAM free to play the game. If you care to read the requirements for the game when using Vista you will find that a minimum of 2000MB is needed. Thus you problem would appear to be quite clear. I trust then, that you too, might be happy now.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: laganviking on May 11, 2010, 12:17:52
As far as i can see its also 32bit Vista. That can only realistically use 3.5GB RAM. So with your card stealing memory from your RAM and only limited to 3.5GB with 32 bit, your options are limited as to a remedy.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: Daisai on May 11, 2010, 12:38:41
Shared memory doesnt really effect it that much , it only uses some of it if it needs to.
Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: laganviking on May 11, 2010, 12:43:53
In a game such as Ship Sim with high intensity graphics, it does effect it quite a lot. If your card needs more RAM to display the graphics, it leaves the overal system short to effectively run the game properly. This could actually be the root of your issues.

If ShipSim would have all the functions and possibilities you've mentioned, the game would be inaccessible for most players.  I am sure i don't have to mention to you that there are qualified officers with years of experience required 'to sail a huge tanker from A to B'.

I don't really know what other high demanding games you're referring to, but 3GB ram is definitely not that High-End for ship simulator. I have 6GB ram and I have no problems with it, I can even play Ship Simulator smoothly on maximum setting, 1920x1080 plus forced 8X AA...... so it should be your computer problem.

Things like low and high tides are pretty simple for anyone who puts a little intrest in ships.

And yes things like ballast would be nice aswell , for example in the port of hamburg so some ships can pass some bridges.

And i dont have 3gb of ram i have 4gb of ram + 1gb of vid memory.

Well there's the first problem that new players would face - How do you adjust for set and drift caused by the tide?

At the middle of the sea you probably won't be bothered much, you make an educated guess while you are enjoying your coffee. But to stay in the sphere of sailing your 'huge tanker from A to B' - Sailing with an 18 meters draft vessel in the Eurogeul with 6 knots current coming in from abeam, an educated guess won't do the job  ::)

I agree with you that ShipSim isn't perfect at this stage, but for now it's the closest to the real thing that a player can get for an affordable price.

I think your system is 32bit according to your dxdiag. 32bit only recognises 3.5 or something like that as the max. You could shoe-horn in 16GB RAM but the system would still only recognise 3.5GB. There maybe ways around that but im not too sure. If you were to add extra RAM im not sure it would have any effect - someone correct me if im wrong  ;D

Post by: McGherkin on May 22, 2010, 12:11:14
I didn't think so. That is definitely the Agile, and when you compare that to the real OB, there's no similarity.

Someone has already raised the question of that being the OB, but it simply isn't. Note carefully the presence of the lifeboat and crane. The real OB has neither.

If they have scrawled Oriental Bluebird on the stern, then it would take a genius to work out why. Why not model the OB, or not do it at all? As far as I know, it isn't Vstep's policy to slap names on random vessels.

Title: Re: Ship Simulator Extremes-unlocking the secrets
Post by: Nathan|C on May 22, 2010, 14:03:05
Yes, it is the Agile Solution model, but it definetly says "Oriental Bluebird" on the stern. I guess it's quicker than modelling a whole ship, and if the OB is going to be AI only, it doesnt really matter.

Since when could a Country be a Port (of Registry)? Isn't it always a City? Like Rotterdam instead of Holland?
Even so, a seagoing vessel could be registred in a city of a landlocked country. Like Basel, (Switzerland) or Wien (Vienna(Austria))

There is a foto of Dover harbour, 6th photo on the shipim main page.
It does not seems like Dover, where are the harbor entrances?
It is an open port with direct access to the sea.
That will offer the same weather (waves, current) conditions at sea and in the port.
Are we talking about Dover? What about Calais?

As someone who sails Do-Ca regularly on either seachance (or LDl Do-Bo ) I can say that Dover looks pretty damned realistic to me, as does Calais.

Ignoring of course the PoR and what look like american coastguard ships-

Well.. maybe that's the wrong word..  'Possibly not directly relevant yet to the new game' might be a better description.

Well, I don't mean to make it sound like that.. but I know..  :doh:

More an attempt to.. prepare people to not take everything they have seen in the run up to the new game, as stone cold guarantees of things to come. Since some things will prove.. less feasible, once testing commenced and progressed.

A gaming site that at this point, posts screenshots that include ones that are (many) months old and might not always show the 100% finished product, runs the risk of 'making false promises'.  So to speak.

Hence the disclaimer.

Oh dear  :-\ You're not trying to break us down slowly about something are you Fred?  :'(

I knew it! There's not going to be Dover-Calais or the Antarctic. The best things in the game  :(

You might aswell tell us what it is  :doh:

No use in further speculating, gents.

We'll have to wait and see. But nothing as drastic as a whole missing environment, I'm quite sure... But those that read well, and between the lines well, have already deducted that some things are most likely not making it in the initial release but will follow later, due to what has been said in other topics and/or has been mentioned by Vstep. Other features might have been adapted further to enhance game performance, etc. In-developement images are always of an unfinished product. And sometimes people forget that.  :)

Yet if such content can be seen again on screenshots that were posted on a gaming site as if they were brand new,even though they include much older ones.. then people might get the wrong idea about what the actual state of the game is at this point.

No more details though, I'm sorry.  Just a little while longer and then you can all see it first hand.  :thumbs:

That’s too bad, Fred. It would be fun to have a “Guess the missing environment” topic.

Isn't that the fact in all versions of the Ship Sim Series?
I'm pretty sure that, p.i. , you'll find no Watertaxi with the Homeport Rotterdam painted on their Stern in the harbours of the good, old U.S. of A.

I've heard it will all be in monochrome wireframe and there will only be a rowing boat and a liferaft.

I was told this by a passing oak tree that was bored talking about the weather.

Yes, TFM. It's a kind of eggy dinner that often has ham or mushrooms in it.

My guess is that Titanic won't be in the game...

It has been stated clearly straight from the horse's mouth several times that she will be returning. The most recent instance that I can recall was, if memory serves, E3, when Frank Dolmans said it in an interview.
