I attend a school that has one of those big, 120 degree field of view, tons of buttons and dials and light simulators... And it's also pretty disappointing. Darn thing keeps bugging up. :-D

Commercial vessels are, face it, boring to conn. The aim is to get from point A to point B... Except for the manoeuvring at either end (Something practically no desktop software can aptly simulate) there just isn't much interest.

Play tetris, go throw some rope, then go stare at a filled bathtub for a week, before throwing some ropes again. That's a pretty realistic commercial vessel simulator...

The only thing's missing is ISPS and ISM... Mmm... I got it! Fill your tax returns while you're staring at the bathtub! :rotfl:
