that is some fantastic news!
still for a new patch i would love to read.
.ingame options menu (not having to go to the main menu first to change settings)
.fixed sinking speed
.updated rotterdam scenery (maastoren and new orleans toren, nationale nederlanden, manhattan hotel & WTC added.
.engine room added on pushboat
.light effects added on ships (for example portholes and cabins that light up, or exterior lightning)
.fixed AI (this might be the fixed traffic pathfinding though already listed)
.buttons for ship's horn, anchor controll ect. added
just wanted to to show some idea's/surgestions
not that im not satisfied with this news, because i think this update will be awsome.
maybe there can be made an option in the graphics setting to change the brightness of the sky.
it wouldn't surprise me if vstep doesn't want to tell the releasing date, last time they did that on the SS08 patch, complete madness occured when the patch was delayed for a few times.
