I'm with both of you on this...I just finished a run from Australia through the Antarctic Ocean and up to NY....great ride, and the ice fields and icebergs were really rough to get through.  I was exhausted from it...it was GREAT!  Really good sounds too (re:  I sideswiped an Ice Shelf and the screeching of metal on ice was pretty spooky!)....Overall, I like it quite a lot.  I've told the others that if they want perfection, they're not going to find it on a v. 1.1 release....it's not like they spent 5 Million on a simulator....all good things in time.
