I have told all my fellow glassic nuts on fiber, that this program will help them in working with there boat, to get a better understanding that it not -A- car handling, and you can't just by a gps and not know how to use it on the water....like when the sun goes down. learn to use this stuff in a simulator such as this one, the docking and the navigation is far more than racing and jumping around, but the glassic guys would want to race each other (on-line).

[houston144]

I would like to add one little quirk, on the smaller boats, the Rigid hauls, the taxi boat the indecent response boat (which would look sweet in Coast Guard colors) and the R/S speed boat lack Trim controls to push the bows down when bring up the power....or keep the bow down and the boat on plain at speeds.

like the one in the Trainz franchise, where editing land, building placement etc is very easy

also could we get more interior walk about areas on ships... not necessarly every room... but it would be nice to explore all major areas and passageways

Great Simulator!!  Looking forward to new environments!  Ever thought of portion of St. Lawrence Seaway?  Maneuvring into/out of a seaway-size lock would be exciting.  Adding self-unloading ship with a mission of midstream cargo transshipment to large Cape or Panamax bulk carrier would be fantastic.
