Played demo and found it kinda fun but think games to pricey for what you get imho.

edit: Played 2006 demo

SS2008 will be so much better than 2006. I found SS2006 fairly boring, especially when compared to something like FS2004. I will definetely be trying SS2008.

I bought SS2008 this morning from their site, and am sofar pleased with it. It kinda looks like Virtual Sailor on steroids, but then i havent tried it out so much yet.

Where did you get that price? According to XE.com 37 euros (the price of the download version) is only $50.99

The Milkman · 07-13-07, 06:54 PM

the only thing better about this one is its gonna have weather options, ex: waves, wave hight, rain, thunder lighting, and a few more ships. deffinatly not worth 75 bucks jesus.

Does it have real world weather like in MSFS?

flintlock · 07-17-07, 08:41 PM

Weather systems, yes. Downloadable recent weather and real world forecasts, no.
