I think its a good game, there are tons of downloadable add ons.
-
Ya that makes it neat.
-
absolutely - With all the add ons its extremely versatile and offers fantastic choice in different boats and sceneries. It also handles very much like Ship SIm so it will give you good practice at steering and moving large boats
-
Virtual sailor is not half as realistic as ship sim.
-
its almost better than ship sim with its underwater submarines.
but ship sim has better graphics and realsitic missions. i just hope that ship sim 2008 has features like virtual sailor
-
Virtual sailor is no where near as good as Ship sim.
-
Greetings,
I prefer ship-sim more,but that's everyone opinion for themselfs.
As long as you have fun with the game(any game).Than it's o.k. to have it.

I agree, VS 5/10 Ship Sim 9/10. WAY BETTER!
-
The addons are great, but thats just all.
There may be more functions and stuff but the super bad simulation just wastes it all.
VS really needs a new physics engine.
-
I d/l the VS demo yesterday, but for some reason I can't get it to select a mission for the demo. Not sure if it's not compatible w/ my system, or if I'm just having brain cramps. :(
I really love all the different ship add-ons that VS has! Be nice if VS & ShipSim would merge and keep the best of both!
-
Ya that would be great. But now I hope SS8 goes above and beyond SS6 and VS
-
Thanks for the replys guys, I guess I will wait for SS8 to get a ship sim then.
-
Do you guys think it worth buying SS6 now or should I wait?
-
I would wait if i was you ship sim 2006 will be virtually obsolete when ship sim 2008 comes out. :)
-
Ya your right, I just dont know If I can wait!!!! They both seem so neat. I wish I get but then dont want to waste money.
-
In agree. WAIT. ;)
-
Ok thanks, I will wait
-
I don't like VS one bit i'm afraid. Can't download any addons at all. Emailed teh support they took me through it all but nothing. Emailed customer services. Was put through to tech support again. Nothing. Stopped replying to my emails aswell. :'( >:(
That's my opinion. We all have different opinions.
-
As ss06 is now only £10/$20 its worth it just for the curiosity element.
I only bought it a week ago (out of boredom only) and am hooked

I like both of them and both should use some of the others features like shipsim08 should have a site where you can download ships, maps, etc. made by shipsim or the community. And vs should look into better graphics.
-
VS is getting better graphics, but much of it depends on the add-on developer.
Unfortunately there is a big lack of knowledge and a bunch of newbies making add-ons for VS…
Here is some of my additions under development that may pull up the graphics in some way:

Thats really impressive. You really get the sense of scale standing next to a great big ship.

P.S Blender will also export as .x complete with texture for VS but I use vrml2(vrml97) for the Stentec simulators.

much better then wut I've seen, its almost as good as shipsim :D

I downloaded VS last weekend, must admit love playing it. As with everything though I wish that there were more dock scenes and places to dock a vessel in Northern Euroope with a view to discharging cargo, refulling and the such, perhaps in the development? Enjoy both sims though! Keep up the good work

I have purchaced VS and i was just wondering how to get the download onto the game.
-
Would it not be more appropriate to discuss matters on the relevant forum?
Indeed :) This forum is for Ship Simulator after all ;)
Regards.

My apologies Gentlemen, however I was actually trying to praise both simulations for their different qualities not offend or upset anyone
