But this simulator is a navigation simulator not an engineering simulator. It is designed to simulate ship handling, towing, berthing and mooring etc., not to be an engine room simulator. There are three departments on a ship in reality, 'Navigation, Engineering and Catering'. This is a simulator for the navigation department. One would have to look elsewhere for an engine room simulator.

but ti would be nice if some of them worked lke fuel or engine oil temp and engine guages that worked and are not just for show

Yes it would be nice, would add some more realisme to the simulator

ive played flight simulator and i cant denie it is an amazing game but
ship simulator is unbelieveable the graphics and game play is the best
i dont get bored with ship simulator it is always challenging and fun

yeah

navigation stuff only please

interesting to see the odd nut & bolt (that's the extent of my engineering knowledge)

dont compare ss to fs their not the same

in the end ship simulator is new and by a small company flight sim is old and the biggest company there is

hence why it's so much better

I think some other comments are right - you can't compare them, they are two completely different things

Let me think FS has been around for about 20+ years against shipsim thats been around for about 3/4years I'm sure flightsim at only 3/4years old was not that great and shipsim is better than a certain train sim. All I can say is shipsim can only get better as they learn how to model more stuff.
