I loaded up shipsim for the first time in ages and actually didn't hop to the por. But instead had a go with the cargo ship. Lovely, nice pint on the desk- knocking the rudder to one side or t'other and back to midship and watching the coast of Marseilles come up then.
BANG. That flaming pilot boat rubbed alongside the plimsoll line and I sank- losing all rudder, thrusters and sense of humour.
I know this isn't a new problem and has been discussed before, but I thought it had been patched to stop this quite unacceptable bug.
It is such a shame that vstep never finished 08 off; I really want to like sse but on principle I won't be parting with any money whilst such poor software is sold as finished. I really do want to like vsteps work once again, but I can not.
