VSTEP have just released on their website some brand new screenshots of the interior of two new ships!
The first one to me appears to be the Fishing Vessel "Singita" and the second the P6!
Looking good, thanks VSTEP!

Very nice :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
-
Its looks great! nice job Vstep!
-
They looks amazing! :thumbs:
Alot better then SS08!
Good job Vstep! :2thumbs:
-
Its very nice! More full with stuff, the graphics looks good, also it seems to have more interactive instruments too.
-
meh, totally unrealistic...
not a coffee machine in sight!
Seriously though they look really nice, but what is with that horrible lampshade on the starboard side on the first one?
-
No maps on a tables, no books on the shelfs, no different signs, images, etc on the walls.
JJ still holds the #1 position in the bridge interior.
-
Its a start thought!
Right VM?
-
all i want to see now is esperanza bridge
-
But there a lot more interactive instruments.
And the radar looks a lot better.
I think I can even see a conning screen.
It looks great.
-
Awesome pics, looks pretty fancy :thumbs:
all i want
This is where i stopped reading...

::) well just what ive been wanting to see forever lol

I think the table lamp gives a romantic touch.. ;)
-
Perhaps some matching curtains would finish it off ::)

mmm sexy ;D
Looks like the helm on the P6 switched from the port to the starboard side :doh:
I wonder if the fan in the Sigita works...
-
The P6 has took a fantastic make over of the bridge. The SS06 and SS08 P6 had the pilot on the port side and now, SSE moved it and made a whole new wheel and throttle system for her. Hope Pride Of Rotterdam gets a new interior :thumbs:

What I said then... ;D
Agree on the PoR :thumbs:
-
OK. That's the interior of the two new ships but how does the outside (exterior) of the fishing vessel "Singita" looks like since i know how the P6 looks like from the exterior.
-
1. It's Sigita
2.
like this.

Not sure why they hanged the SART on the console at the P6 and not close to the door :lol:
-
Well that would be just too clever, wouldn't it?
-

She is one fancied fishing vessel than the Northern Star. Or more modern i could say.
-
Wonderfull bridges people! :o
hmmm any chance there will more bridges of more ships shown later? :doh:
im asking cause alot of the bridges could use some improvement.
-

I guess i have to pre order ss extremes for that boat.
i hope that there are improvements on the oceanstar ;D
-
Kind of annoyed to have ships that rape the oceans in the game... but i guess I'll need things to ram in some eco missions ;)
-
Fair play to you V-STEP, you've made us very happy indeed!!!
Really...keep up the good work...I may not be able to play the game as soon as it comes out, but I certainly cannot wait for when I can!!
-
Very good job, very nice to me.
It's great to have some news with days...
Bridges looks great. The first bridge is wonderful to me, very intersting! There are some new elements, somehow is much more realistic feeling. Also the cahirs look much more better ;D, it look like a real fur chair.
I would like to see the bridge of the greatest ship "OCEAN STAR"! I hope there are some new things too, because that's an luxury ocean liner, it should look wonderful and luxury on the bridge.
Tahnks for news VSTEP. Great JOB!
Kind Regards.

Ofcourse!
chairs, the plants,
and ofcourse my suggestion would be for the MS Ocean Star.
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-yEaG9OZAk&feature=related)
in this trailer at 0:45 till 0:51 you see the differents intrument panels.
now on the bridge of the OC there are alot of instruments wich are not funtionable instruments.
so if VSTEP could change al the non functionable instruments to functionable instruments
the oc would be alot better then it is.
Captain Mitch do you agree or disagree?

Wow!! :2thumbs:
-
Yep, the bridges look wonderful, are they all going to look like this or?
-
Don't know if Titanic will be in the official copy of SSE, but maybe it would be cool to put the steam whistle rope in the bridge to blow the whistle and make the emergency telegraph operatable, and the working maneuvering telegraph. Picture below labels the emergency and maneuvering telegraphs in attach.
P.S. the picture is from Titanic's Bridge. Look at right most side of picture, you can see the port side main engine telegraph.
-
Oceandream!
SURE I DO agree!
There are a lot of ship instruments on the bridge of "Ocean Star", but just on the main console there are some instruments what we can use, that's not OK...
It would be great to have all those elements in!
Also it would be great to have the anchoring instrument on the birdge...
Hope the ocean star has some new elements... can't wait to see the birdge...
Kind regards.
Capt. Mitch
-
yes, we should make the computers and everything work, so we can play minesweeper, getting tired by all this maneuvering, that's not what the game is about!
-
No maps on a tables, no books on the shelfs, no different signs, images, etc on the walls.
JJ still holds the #1 position in the bridge interior.
except there is only 1 instrument we can use on JJ's bridge.
the chart screen.
and alot of buttons wich also have no use in SS08 :(
Just like the bridge of the Ocean Star alot of no use able instruments.
if the new ss iscalled "Ship Simulator Extremes" we need alot of more instruments we can use.
not the same ones except enhanced with newer styles
i know about modern bridges cause ive been 4 times on bridge of a different ship.
-
Here are some photos of the "Ocean Star" bridge and ship like it supposed to be.

That's the pictures of the real "Ocean Star" bridge.
It's 3 times bigger. That's how it should be...
It's very intersting bridge...
Kind regards.
Capt.Mitch
-
That's not the bridge, it's the engine control room :P
-
why did see this with my glasses then :evil:
-
Haha, yes, the last picture is.
Why do you want all instruments functionable?
To become officer you have to study a couple of years, so I am shure that you can't operate them all correctly.
Some people allready get confused when they see azipod, schottel or voith schneider controls. :P
To me, the most important instruments are:
gyrocompass
radar (if possible with arpa)
ecdis (digital chart with gps)
depthmeter and dopplerlog
a conning screen would be nice
and maybe a Pelorus
Looks like I forgot something.
Oh yes, a cup of coffee! ;D
-
i agree
-
Yeah, the last picture...
But still you can see from the first picture how huge is the bridge...
Well, with all these instruments we are learning... you can't know unless you start to learn!
Also a lot of instruments makes the game much more intersting...
-
in the very first news email in SSE, then called SS09 I think, the were talking about a conningscreen. That screen a boat in the middle and some red and green on the sides, could this be the conning screen?
-

captain mitch the only problem with more instruments is that sse release will not be released august anymore but maybe october or december :(.
alto you know the word " the more the better :P"

GMDSS
VHF
Anemometer
Voyage Data Recorder
ARPA is a requirement on large ships
AIS
Ballast management system
Watertight integrity monitoring
Fire alarm system
Fire door control panel
telephones (internal and external
An officer of the watch has to look after all of these things at the same time as trying not to bump into anything and "can't operate them correctly" is not an option.
-
he doesn't look at it before he hears a sound, which he probably shouldn't be hearing...
-
clanky now youre talking.
And ballast control would cool! (latitude has no crude oil so she use ballast controls to keep her prop under the water. same goes for vermaas)
-

That is why I say that there shouldn't be to much instruments.
It is to much for a normal person who plays the game.

I think that that would be much to difficult. Biceaus you have to know a lot about ship stability and pumping ballast takes a couple of hours.
The developers are doing a great job. They are not making it to difficult but still interesting enough.
Working winches is something I would be more happy about.
-
Lol I can imagine it nowm walking onto the bridge of ocean star and simply pulling the sun visors down! Now that would be cool! :thumbs:

^^^This
-
Yeah, that would be cool! ;D
Everything what is connected with Ocean Star is cool... ;D
EDIT: in some way, that's true...
But Ship Sim is also a game where we are learning, so we can learn something from this game, the more options we got, that much we will learn, because we will need to learn it if we want to ride a ship...
-
You want to ride a ship? ;D
Before you are able to operate those instruments you most learn a lot of theory. So I would start by buying a lot of books :P
All the instruments that you need to navigate a ship are allready in the game!
If you really want to sail a ship, get some paper charts and use the instruments you allready have.
You have a gps, with wich you can plot positions into a chart. And maybe, in ss extremes, you can take bearings and distances on your radar.
I think that that is the most important! And not looking at some screens and pushing some buttons.
But you keep saying, 'I want more instruments.', but wich instruments?
-
Incredible details.
-
There are some instruments in this topic already before...
But you'r right...
Maybe it would be to dificult to enjoy simulator with al these instruments, a lot of us are not a captain.
I would like to sail the ship... But there are some problem, first i need a lot of expirience, second is my eye problem, and first i should ride a boat and then to sail a ship...
I wanto to ride the boat so badly!!!! But i'm only 15. My mother is calling me on the cellphone every 5 minutes when i'm going on an Island wich is 5 km away from shore...
How should she react if i'm riding the boat... she don't let me to go in the boat school... i'l need to wait my 18... :'(
I love to sail boats very much...
Year ago, we had an speedboat, my dad gave me to ride it sometimes... i enjoyed very MUCH!
But we sold it last summer :-[ :-[
But in a speedboat there are 5 instruments maybe... and on the ship there are a lot more instruments, and for that how you are sayng the book is necessary!
Kind regards.

Those instruments would only become a part of a PRO-version anyway. I doubt that VSTEP would make a standard version of this game with sophisticated accurate bridge instrumentation. If they did, oh well...they need to attach a 500 pages manual at least for operating all the knobs and buttons, screen menus etc.
What would be interesting is to simplify those advanced instruments to something easier, virtual reality but not as sophisticated as the real instruments, you know what I'm saying?
Now, Flight Simulator got almost full simulated cockpits with all the knobs and buttons that you may operate (I'm not saying that you can operate it all!), so I don't see a note at the FSX packages where they 'require you to be a real flight captain before buying this simulator'. That sounds ridiculous. Anything can be learned, and you don't land a B737 just like that in FSX first time you run this game, it needs some practice and knowledge if you are going to land that aircraft "in a pro way", at least - don't forget to activate the landing gear :p
In the mean time after SSE maybe VSTEP can go for other controls or simple things like adjustable search lights, mast light patterns to control the lights, or even cargo handling for cargo ships, virtual passenger transportation using ships with car decks and where you operate the hatches, mooring gear etc.
Autosail would be nice feature, at open sea, if you are sailing a route plotted at the chart and there is no way to set the sim rate (like making the time go two times faster). :)

Sam is wright.
Captain mitch the books are required due learning how to use the instruments and swichtes in the correct.
in the newer simulators to train to become a captain alot of op people think they know what there doing but they are doing it completely wrong.
even last year...the time when i went on the boeing 777 simulator i thought large planes require maximum power on take off.
and how wrong i was, i heard the large 777's require 81% of there power for take off.
And that happend cause i did not finish learning my lessons from flying
So captain mitch i suggest the books to learn from them
-
You'r right. ;D
-
You'r wright. ;D
-
Eh, its spelled "right" :thumbs:
not being offensive, but it sounds like Sjoerd92 tries to correct Mitch :)
Back to subject...
I think it should be on the right level, more controls are nice, but to many will make it to hard for new players, and the game will lose many players that ain't really shipfans
-
and maybe there be "LEVELS" in sse?
Beginner
Intermade
Advanced
and last but not least Expert.
Tomaten do you agree or disagree

I like the current rankings, myself... But maybe more realistic...

That's one way to go, and it's quite nice accurately, but it may result in problems during MP.
//Tomaten :P

I think the main overall thing that would be nice would be to have more functions - and things to actually do whilst you are onboard/in port. Or something to keep the people who like to be always doing something busy.
For me personally I think it would be nice to have VHF Radio...the only problem being is that some people may not wish to use it, and might cause problems with communication in that sense...

At least, bring us a working coffee machine, with working buttons (and yeah, I like tea too). :thumbs:
