Hey, you cant im afraid. Well not yet anyway. Vstep will probably introduce more ports in the future but doubt they will for a while. Vstep are currently busy on getting rid of the bugs that litter the game (mostly online)

Welcome to the game  ;D

you can't.  i know there is not many.

The waters you sail are also as varied as the ships, from the biggest harbours in the world to calm aqua marine tropical waters

i love this line. this line from amazon got me to buy this game totle lies but to late now

the fact is there is only a hand full of ports and seas

realy it should not be called ship simulator but more docking simulator as that is allmost all you can do at the moment untill they got lots more ports as you can not sail for more then 20 miles without chancing envroment

Yea true, Im happy with the current ports (although Port Of Felixstowe would please me).

I'd rather Vstep sorted the bugs than have more ports of call being introduced, especially as i really only play online.

 ;D

Not many online games work for 'everyone' as we all have unique machines.

Vstep are only a small company, and i admire them. Microsoft turned down the idea of making a ship simulation game as they reckon it will be impossible to make and no one will purchase the game, making it not very financially visable. Also making realistic water is VERY hard to generate for a game, Vstep have almost mastered this.

So thankyou Vstep. Well done.

Well yes you can, but not how you would expect...say like in flight sim.

For example you may start in rotterdam, sail to the ends of the Rotterdam zone...change environments to Atalntic Ocean, sail to the ends of that zone...then change environments to New York.

So yes you can  ;)

I believe they make simulation 'games' for proffesional training in the real world. So guess they have the upper hand in this area. I also think there is a team working on a fire sim game! Which has been training firefighters for some time now.

a copo server would be good for this game e.g. 2 people in the same ship
