Hearts of Oak will deliver - they have no distributor to keep happy.

I keep looking at their updates and daydreaming happily. Finally....

It should be good, I am pretty sure, though may be a few years off yet. Shame I can't get the current version of Pirates of the Carribean New Horizons mod working in the mean time. Crashes a lot when transiting.

Oh and their is this kickstarter (Blackwake)

Er...! didn't the Capt Jack Sparrow games, do a bit of Naval to Pirate ship, fighting on the high seas.

I wish someone, would do a game, as per Nelson, and HMS Victory.

And also, Master and Commander series, the Books where good.
(And Hornblower series.)

The real life Commander, for the above two, was Lord Cochrane, of the British Navy of that period.
He's real life, book's are quite interesting, I found.

PS I forgot Assassins Creed, apparently they are within there games do some sailing, etc.

steam/green light/naval action

looks good

iPad app which I like is Naval Tactics, very much like the 1975 Avalon Hill board game I used to play called Wooden Ships Iron Men.

Dosbox runs the old Avalon Hill WSIM dos program very well.

That's awesome! Avalon Hill is a name that brings back some good memories!

con20or · 01-04-15, 09:54 AM

It would have been hard to make me want that game more but this really has caught my interest. 3D games had never really appealed to me until now.

Wonder how much the rift is?

SimSportPlyr · 05-05-15, 12:30 PM

I hope this post is appropriate (off topic, I realize)...

Hey, that's cool about dosbox and WSIM!

Does anyone know if the WSIM DOS program is solo-friendly (I have the board game)?

And also, for those of you who have not seen it yet, Letters of Marque is on the horizon as well!

Hi, i dwlded and tried installing but says my version of windows not compatible. I have vista 32 bit OS. is this just for 64 bit systems?

Thagarr · 07-30-15, 11:59 PM

I will check with the Dev team to make sure and post back here, but I believe that the Tech Demo may very well be 64 bit only.

dsawan · 07-31-15, 12:01 AM

ok, maybe suggest to make it available for 32 bit if feasible to the developers. i await your reply though cause would like to try it.Thanks.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond dsawan, we have been a bit busy. This first demo is 64 bit only, sorry mate. It also only utilizes DirectX 11, which causes the water to disappear if your are using DirectX 9.

That will not be the case going forward however, all future versions will work on both 64 and 32 bit, and will also include DirectX 9 support. I am not sure when the next one will be available, but it shouldn't be to long.

dsawan · 08-11-15, 10:16 AM

great, thanks for looking into it .
