Has anyone on here played or tried this game out? I have viewed the trailer for it but and it looks good but just wanting to know if its worth at least downloading the demo and stuff.

EDIT: Ah crap. I posted this in the wrong section. Can any mod move this to the "Computer Games & Software" section please?

Hopefully its not just a simulation where you just drive a boat around and stuff. It should have points on plotting out courses and stuff.

The game isn't as great as it looks...

...you only get a few ports and a island and stuff (so no transatlantic journies...)

...you can't sink

...you can fly (I should do a video about that...)

...and worst of all, customer support never did get that "support" part down

But the game does look good, and features a good variety of ships and stuff...

Piloting a ship from continent to continent at 30 knots with nothing but water to look at, all at real time doesn't sound that fun. Flying a cigar tube at 30,000+ feet is even more exciting than that... Grin

...'trubble is, Andrew...

Cigar Tubes aren't advertised as having extra "Stuff" included in the Package...

...you have to have extra "Stuff", otherwise it's no good... Wink...!

A Ship, with Sails 'n stuff, is cool... Kiss...!

You don't consider a cockpit full of switches, dials, computer screens, and all of the latest avionics stacks/displays extra stuff?

Not to mention the cute female flight attendants...? Grin

If it involves " Stuffin' " the Female Flight Attendants, then that sort of stuff will be really cool...

So it's  Boats and Cigar Tubes, with stuff...?

Fantastic... Smiley...!

Paul...Ready to get stuffed... Cool...!

I just watched the trailer...

hehe. Luv the music.  Adds drama and high intensity.

Any reason why everything that Sim does could not be done in FS 9 or FSX?
We got boats... 
The Seaplanes bounce on the water, just like thiers.
We got "Weather"

They do have R.M.S. Titanic, which is cool...

I have no experience with ships and boats in FS, someone else would have to speak up about  this.
