Quintin Smith, RPS: “For you, then: There is no radar, just a minimap.

A new update will be released next week and the team are continuing to improve the game steadily and new DLC will be released in the coming weeks/months.
Ship simulator extremes demo for mac Patch#
A release day patch was issued, fixing the start up issues some users were experiencing as well as the bugs you mention. VSTEP/PARADOX: Can we say that’s a feature? Teleporting ships? No? Worth a try! :) About bugs: They are an unfortunate by-product of PC game development but it is an area we take very seriously and work hard to ensure as many of them are eradicated as quickly as possible. Tilting the camera, I see it’s reappeared a few hundred feet away.” Quintin Smith, RPS: “The entire 300 metre long container ship vanishes. We can understand it if you’re more the captain Jack Sparrow – kick’em in the nuts, haul’em down and destroy the Kraken – ship lover, but rest assured, many ship simulation fans love this core realism. Some missions also require you to take control of multiple ships, but we suggest you start with just the one. Even though the controls of most vessels seem pretty straightforward, it requires real skill to manoeuvre a vessel correctly, taking multiple thrusters into account.

Perhaps these were things that you missed initially.Īlso, if you are looking for complex manoeuvring then I definitely recommend trying the hovercraft, or the Azimuth thrusters tug, or having a crack at towing a huge tanker into a shallow harbour etc. Some suggestions for example would be using the actual conning screens, the radar, charts, autopilot, towing and berthing. There is a lot more finesse and simulation in the game than maybe you discovered on initial playthrough. It takes actual skill to manoeuvre these babies without scraping the paint off them. However, that does not make it simple or uninvolving.

That is why you have a lot more ship captains and train drivers than airplane pilots. Joking aside though, about the controls: most motor ship controls are quite standard (thrust, rudders). are you a bit rubbish perhaps? That is a mystery! :) First you complain about the ships being too simple to control and the simulator uninvolving, and yet for some reason you seem to hopelessly screw up every mission due to not being able to manoeuvre your craft properly.

So, let’s look at this in a bit more detail. Stop me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t a simulator be more involved than that? I’ve played platformers with more complicated controls.” I’ve got an accelerator and a steering wheel, and I can weigh anchor or hitch myself to things, and that’s it. Quintin Smith, RPS: “The controls of my alien ship prove to be very simple indeed. It's much more fun when this is a two-way thing. More developers should have a pop at specific journalists. In other news, the Ship Simulator Extremes demo was also released today! Anyone who fancies taking control of a big ol' Greenpeace vessel and harassing some whaling fleets is currently experiencing their lucky day. You can find the whole thing beneath the jump. Anybody remember my less than buoyant impressions of Ship Simulator Extremes a couple of weeks ago? Well, the developers have since sent us a fairly comprehensive response, which only occasionally stops pointing out that I am awful at boats to defend their game and what they were striving to do with it.
