Faamechanic, sims like Ship Simulator just remind me of why I'm so pissed at Ubi. That game is so bad that it makes Silent Hunter feel like a Microprose simulation. It just rubs salt to imagine what SH could've been for cadets and seafarers if Ubi just took that extra step.
To be honest, so far Ship Simulator has been pretty much BS. Very small maps, no navigation whatsoever (even in Silent Hunter you can tell latitude and longitude), it does feature mooring lines and anchors but no option to reel them in or give slack. Even Ports Of Call feels more realistic. The Pro version seems more featured but not by much. I'm keeping an eye out on this 2010 one, MAYBE it's worth the bucks.
