What i have dreamed of for years it seems, is a sim where i can take out my own trawler/fishing boat from say the Shetlands for instance, and experience that which i have witnessed on the TV series 'Trawler Men'. To go out in all weathers, boat bouncing about on 20 ft waves, trying to haul in the nets without falling overboard. All from the safety of my own chair *smile*. Quite frankly i'm scared of water that's taller than me, but i reckon a computor sim catching fish in the wild north sea would be infinitely more exiting than swanning about in a luxury cruise ship anyday. I have just aquired my Ship Sim 2008 and have downloaded the update and mission editor and i am totally hooked. It could be that living on the Solent has something to do it. makes all the difference to recognise the surroundings don't you think. Anyway i have managed to get various ships plying their trade up and down Southampton Water, and the I.O.W ferries are up and running too. Brilliant, that msion editor. Only wish the one in Rail Simulator was so easy to use, but that's another story. One thing that's odd about Calshot Spit though. I seem to be missing the castle!..Everything else is there..Odd!. Anyway Thanks LightHouse for a brilliant sim, and please can you caome up with a scenario for a trawler. Regards Brian.
