Anyone hear ever played Virtual Sailor? I'm just wondering how the graphics of Silent Hunter III compare to the graphcis of Virtual sailor.... better? Worse? Same?

A friend has Virtual Sailor (from http://www.hangsim.com). I think this is an older program, made in 1999(?). Although they keep updating/enhancing the program, last update was in 2006.

SH3 (overall) has more detailed graphics, although the water in VS looks pretty good!

Water is becoming one of the easiest things to reproduce thanks to the new video cards almost having the code embedded to generate it, along with fire. It's not surprising how far water and fire have come. I'm still looking for detail on skin and better frame rates.

Yup ive played the demo of Virtual Sailor, I found the wave motions in VS are way better than SH3.

agreed. SHIII has good graphisc for its genre, which wasn't (before it) that popular, but I exepect for SHIV something stunning
