I just bought a myself a copy of Ship Simulator 2008 today in the sales, and decided to experience a mid Atlantic storm on the Dutch Harbour Patrol Boat, in a sea with 4m high waves! Being a mere landlubber, it looked pretty bad from the external view, but when I went into the cabin I couldn't believe how realistic it was, and within minutes I was feeling exceedingly ill. That was four hours ago now, and I'm still feeling very green around the gills

Now that's realism for you
