Don't know if this topic fits in here or small talk.
I'm not really sure, but it seems it's been some times since last update.
Anyone knows if/when there will be another?
I think it's about time we get some changes to SS08 (better AI, higher waves, better controls (maybe?).
Looking forward to positive replies.

Hmm... well I don't care much for "I think it's about time.." type remarks, to be honest..
Those seem to assume that delevopers are sitting around doing nothing. Whilst the contrary is of course true.

But I reckon you might have heard of SS10? It's being done.. better things are coming.

There might be bugs in SS08 that still get fixed, but I am pretty sure, with SS10 under development now, they will not add any major changes to SS08 anymore.

The big steps will be taken in/with the next game version.

Fred

p.s. moved to small talk. The general lobby of the SS08 board is for demo questions only.

I dont see the point of any updates anyway since SS10 is coming.

But Im sure SS10 will be brilliant, and I agree with Fred, Vstep must be really hard at work right now, good for them! what a great company!

One point:
Some might want to save money due to this financial crisis all over the world.
Other may want to keep to SS08.
Even if there's a new game in a series coming, doesn't mean older version is left behind.

Microsoft no longer has updates for windows XP, or Flight Simulator 2000. Should I go complain to them also?

I guess I should go ask for a patch for ss06 too cause I have it.

You may not have noticed, but the "financial crisis" also hits companies, VSTEP doesn't have money or man power to create patches for an older version and try and create a new game.

Captain Best · « **Reply #5 on:** January 09, 2009, 22:48:38 »

I personly think that Vstep has been doing a great job with giving out Updates.

And Vstep are busy enough with SS10

Keep up the great work Vstep

Shipaddict · « **Reply #6 on:** January 09, 2009, 23:25:28 »

Yep, i'm also very much looking forward to SS10, i'm not overly fussed about new stuff at the moment

Nyrum1x3 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2009, 02:50:51 »

XP and FS2000 is old.
Is SS 2008 old?
no

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2009, 03:12:29 »

It is going to be.

Captain Best · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2009, 03:33:02 »

But it doesnt mean that Vstep can give out updates all time.
and they are busy with SS10 as i said earlier

TerryRussell · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2009, 07:40:07 »

I was wondering.

How much would you be wiling to pay for this update you want, Nyrum1x3?

No reason why it should be free, of course.

mvsmith · « **Reply #11 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:08:37 »

Heâ€™s only been registered for about four monthsâ€”heâ€™s not due for an update yet.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:54:35 »

It's about time that I was updated.

serkan · « **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:32:50 »

I still wait a Motoryacht or Megayacht in the shipyard for ss08

This is my dream, i am looking to the shipyard everyday for this

Nathan|C · « **Reply #14 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:39:17 »

Well, i think it was mentioned above. Don't expect anything major for SS2008 now, the developers are working on SS2010.

Wrong AA Microsoft are still update windows XP

TerryRussell · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2009, 13:07:14 »

Not in terms of new features.

XP is now on the "bugs and security issues only" part of the cycle, I think. You can of course pay money and buy support and enhancements from Microsoft for XP. But they are vey expensive.

Let's look at some others in the market:

Try waiting for any add-ons or patches for Fifa 00,01,02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 or 08. You'll wait a long time.

Trainz of course make you buy a new version of their simulator each year if you want enhancements.

Oblivion and Morrowind had bug-fix patches and you had to pay a lot of money for any of the expansion packs.

Train simulator had a small patch which fixed a few bugs and gave you a couple of minor extras. Everything else had/has to be paid for.

Anyone see the trend?

That's right about xp bugs and security updates are on win update and trainz are update the game with service packs into the new version are coming, like trainz 04 and o6 are no longer update to, but now wee are finises with the 2009 world version finish and now soon will the 2009 Engineering version bee out, wee still beta test this

I think they began with it right after v-step released 2008 but not sure

Relished? don't know that word.
I'm not that good in english.
Can you please explain?

Person264 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2009, 16:29:39 »

I think he means just after they released ss08

Captain Best · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2009, 16:37:54 »

i think they started in early summer in 2008

TerryRussell · « **Reply #23 on:** January 10, 2009, 16:43:17 »

"relished" means "liked". But I think Captain Bluebeard's spill-chuckler put the wrong word in.

As in "Terry really relished the idea of having a free version of Ship Simulator PRO brought to his house by 12 beautiful blonde Spambot who would install it on his PC for him."

Yes I'm an expert to put the wrong words in sometimes thanks for the explanation Terry
and that was a good idea, but most ask my wife first if that's OK lol
