Ship Simulator 2008 goes gold!

The new 2008 edition of Ship sim has gone gold in Europe Worthplaying has the details and some new screenies.

Oh, great! Now Kapitan can run aground even more realistically!:rotfl:

Long distance travels , open ocean voyages between ports
Visible damage system - Nice, MSFS needs that!

Extensive day, night, and weather systems
6 new ships, an oil rig, and 3 new environments
Walkthrough functionality and interactive bridge controls on all ships - capitans cabbin? ;)
Controllable container crane
Multiplayer feature to be added this September

Realistic bow splash water, with support from an advanced physics simulation model
Extensive mapping options for keys and joystick buttons
Advanced rope system which allows you to connect and disconnect player ships to other ships or mooring boulders at will (anchoring is now also possible)

Agreed.

Having people modeled would add life to a scene. They seem to be on some ships, but not most.

:yep: Nice titanic pics but...where's the Iceberg :doh:
