No you do not have to buy it, it is optional.

Hi there! welcome to the forum!

i would advise you to get ship simulator 08, you will be waiting a long time before 09 comes out, also new horizons (add on for ship sim 08) has been released and its far better with it, although its not necessary to get new horizons i would get it  but first when you get ship sim 08 download the "patches" they make the game better and are located on the ship sim website (not here) just google "ship simulator 2008" and click the first option, anyway best of luck

kind regards

If you dont have the 08-version get it,than make an extra upload for the NH.
You will enjoy it.

Yes, Ship Simulator 2008 is excellent.

• If you install all of the free updates it is even better
• If you buy New Horizons Add-on it is even more improved
• With the next set of free updates coming out soon, (new improved ship horns and radio sounds) it gets to be terrific!

(But I am a bit biased about the new updates, of course)

PS, Tore and Agent|Austin: Sleep is for wimps! Borg never sleep.

Here is what the news letter says about SS09.
News on Ship Simulator 2009

Although we are still working hard improving Ship Simulator 2008, at the same time a new development team has started on Ship Simulator 2009. Some of the new features:



A completely new ocean, based on real-world wave spectra
Tornados / water spouts
The harbour of Sydney
Part of Antarctica
New navigational instruments like a radar and a conning screen
Many brand new vessels.


We plan to bring out Ship Simulator 2009 in the first quarter 2009.


Survey on tools for player-created content

We are investigating various options for stimulating players to create content for the new game. You can help us and determine what we do, by completing our on-line survey.

Participating means you automatically enter into our survey competition, giving you the chance to win one of 10 copies of the upcoming New Horizons add-on. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time and can be found here. The survey will stay online until the 8th April.


Professional training versions of Ship Simulator

We are getting a lot of requests lately for enhancements that would make our game more suitable for professional maritime training. We are already working on a product for training of Dynamic Positioning operators, but judging the feedback, there are many more specialized training products possible. To name just a few options:



Radar training
AIS training
Anchor handling
Offshore crane operations
Offshore operations preparation
ROV operations


You can help us with the prioritisation and course content specification. Please send me an email with your ideas and preferences.
