That's a wicked PC! 

You should be able to run SS2008 as it runs no problem on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

You just need to change the way you install SS2008 under Windows 7. Simply double-clicking on the icon is apparently not good enough; you need to right-click on the SS2008 icon and select "Run as Administrator" (there are several topics about this, if you do a wee search on the Forum)

I too had this problem and was solved when I right-clicked "Run as Administrator"

I NEED lights, cause apparently people are blind.

[TJK]

Well Austin more lights you put on you car then you will blind them with all the lights 

[Agent|Austin]

Amber lights will not burn your eyes, they are completely legal, USDOT approved.

If you want to complain about lights, look at some of these trucks




I am saving for this, to put in my rear window since I don't have anything back there, just my WHELEN Slim Miser up front.

that's even worse and the coca cola truck, in Norway it's not  legal to drive with this lights, they are only for car shows but the coca cola truck get dispensation for driving in Norway in Christmas
but i only  joke with you not at you 

[Agent|Austin]

I just can't have blue/green/ or red lights on the front of sides.

Ooh, I wouldn't mind something like that 

[McGherkin]

Sadly it's not for sale. But you could probably find someone to build a replica for you!

[TJK]

[v.h94]

Hehe it was one like this but blue:

[TJK]

Hehe it was one like this but blue:

well you newer got that for 15.000 or 30.000 NOK anyway, but it had been fun to had one of them do

[v.h94]

Hehe yes

Any way I have a question because I don't want to do a new topic about it.

Has anyone tryed to do a longdistans crosing virtual in for exampel virtual sailor because that is exactly what I do right now.

I drive Finnjet on the route Helsinki-Tallin-Rostock in real time so curently i'm betven latvia and gotland I have around 3 houers left until I will see Gotland.

I will leave the comp on under the night and have finnjet runing at 30/31kn and hopefully the auto pilot hasent broked down

This is the longest I have ever sailed virtual the longest before have been Helsinki-Tallin

All this is non stop. So on a route that maby take 24 houers and the ship starts at 03:00 it's a bit hard but fortunaly finnjet starts from helsinki at 17:30-17:45 so that is a good schelude.

I will try Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku sometime on a day route.(If not atleast on a real ship)

[Captain Best]

hmm. My longest sailing time on VS was.... 20min. it was booring game..


and in SS08 it was 2 hour i guess. driving the Furie through Bergen Northsea.
