While I'll likely spend some time sailing around the Great Lakes, New England, and the Caribbean in a modern sailboat, I'm chiefly interested in historical sailing ships and would like as immersive an experience as possible when doing so. The list of downloadable ships on their site seems quite small, and the area list (while more impressive than the ship-list) seems like it could stand to be a bit more robust. It seems like there's not a whole lot of user-created content out there, though.
Parts of it seem very well thought out (navigational stuff, wind/waves, etc.). I'm trying to decide if the program itself is worth the cost. And the boats in the demo handle nicely enough, although the demo timer's too short to really take them anywhere. The graphics look ancient in screenshots, but not too terrible in game. I can't imagine that he's the only VS user around these parts. Then I saw a VS-related link in some of Pieter's stuff just yesterday, and I figured that it was about time to check it out. I learned about this sim quite a long while ago, but never seriously looked into it. GameSpot said of the game "Virtual Sailor simulates the entire marine environment and makes a complete sailing experience, it's multiplayer capability for online sailing and racing creates an extremely immersive marine experience.I've been checking out the Virtual Sailor demo, and was wondering if anyone else around here uses it regularly and is willing to give their impressions. Vehicle Simulator, first released on Maexpands on Virtual Sailor by allowing for the simulation of automobiles and aircraft as well in addition to watercraft, while remaining backwards compatible with many of the add-ons created for Virtual Sailor. In the nine-year period between versions 7.0 and 7.5, developers turned to a new program called "Vehicle Simulator".
Version 7.5.1 was released on July 25, 2017.
Virtual Sailor was first released in 1999 and since then has seen 13 major release versions, with many minor updates released each year.
