Ship Simulator 2008 License Key

Until now, maritime simulation was only accessible with professional, large simulators at training locations or through companies and schools. NAUTIS Home is here to change that! We want to make ship simulation available for everyone.
NAUTIS Home offers affordable, accessible simulation training to continue learning and practicing nautical skills for the (ex)-maritime professionals for a lifelong learning. It is also ideal for soon to be maritime students wanting a low-threshold intro to ship simulation and getting a head start.
Our vision is to ensure that simulation-based learning becomes a vital part of maritime education and training by making ship simulation accessible on a larger scale for maritime professionals. NAUTIS Home will contain standardized courseware for individual training and assessment focused on different aspects of nautical training such as basic navigation and manoeuvring.
We are therefore very happy to announce that we have started the Alpha prototype development of NAUTIS Home - the successor of the Ship Simulator series. NAUTIS Home aims to make next-generation ship simulation available for all. A new chapter will soon start and you can be a part of the journey!
Ship Simulator Extremes (often called SSE, SS2010, SS10) is the third installment in VSTEP's "Ship Simulator" home computer serious game series. It has succeeded Ship Simulator 2008, with outstanding graphics and content. It is the first game to not include a year in its title, a change which appears to have come about after repeated delays moved the game's expected release date to a year or more after original predictions. Before release, various trailers and renders from the game have been thoroughly analyzed by the series's fan base to produce a large amount of speculative information. The game features 29 ships and 11 port-harbour environments (and 1 open-sea environment.) Out of the 12 environments, 4 are completely new. Out of the 29 initial ships, 10 are completely new. The game was formally to be named "Ship Simulator 2010"
The Donation edition of Ship Simulator Extremes will have exactly the same features and ships as the regular edition. However, the Donation edition will cost more, and 20% of all proceedings will go to Greenpeace and its ocean preservance program. All players who buy the donation edition will automatically enter a prize draw to win an all-exclusive trip on The Rainbow Warrior III, when she is released in 2011. This is a 1-night offer, where the player can become part of the crew. It is expected that the Donation edition will dissapear after the prize draw (although it may remain for those who wish to donate to Greenpeace.)
A water canon is a feature new to SSE. It comes in different quantites on some ships and is used for fighting fire. Examples of ships which have this feature are the RPA12 and the Protector coast guard boat.
Each ship has a rank which is increased when it is used in a campaign mission. a total of 50 points can be gained from each of them. To see the ranks of each ship, you can referr to their respective pages.
The Historics Gamepass is a gamepass that costs 150 Robux and was released in Update 30 on March 22nd 2019. However when the gamepass came out it only had the CSS Virginia and the USS Monitor. The Unite-class later joined the pass in Update 34, the Steamboat in Update 38 and the Great Eastern in Update 40. The ships included in this gamepass or any other similar gamepasses will not be eligible to be purchased with credits.
I know of the online game you speak of and it is very good, however it is nothing like current full mission bridge ship simulation you experince at an academy, union school or private maritime training school when it comes to the realism of shipboard operations, ship interaction, hydrodynamics, roll play etc etc.
To follow PMC. Not only variations on the sails and such but also the actual hull shape and type of rig. A schooner is much easier to sail than a brig or a ship. Steering systems also have so many variations. Many, even large ships have tiller steering. even the type of evolution makes a huge difference. Ever try to tack a square rigger?. It can be, and often is done but there is a lot of co-ordination of crew. and it is not so easy as a schooner.
together with aircraft passion I really like big cargo ships too.. I have always been fascinated by the immensity of these big giants of the sea and... here's the question: does anyone know if there is a ship simulator similar to x plane? I have googled a little but I just found some simulation of the cargo business, not of the cargo ships, any clue?
You might try European Ship Simulator. It's $6.79 on Steam now, so cheap enough to give it a try. I've tried some in the past like the old Ship Simulator series but they are all pretty boring. When I say they are boring, this comes from someone who was actually a ship's officer on huge oil tankers for ten years. To be honest, it's pretty boring in real life also. Nothing happens very fast and there is little sense of movement on a large vessel. I don't think any have the entire world available either. I believe you have small regions with a single port modeled. For instance, you cannot make a voyage from New York to Rotterdam like you could in a flight simulator.
I have given a look at European Ship Simulator and in effect it is more oriented to a sort of mission mode than a open world in which you move as you wish. Probably you are right, in fact I was looking for something "adventurous" but in the end a ship simulator is not that one.
I just came off a cruise with Royal Caribbean. I was so curious about what it'd be like to have large ships in X-plane. I wonder if there'd be demand for it. It'd be kinda cool to have the entire walkthrough experience of a highly detailed ship, and get a chance to be on the bridge, to dock the ship, etc. I imagine long trips could be pretty boring, but there might be some value in expanding the sim into this frontier. What do you think?
You may also want to have a look at Vehicle Simulator by Quality Simulations. It does ships, sailboats, airplanes, helicopters, cars, trucks, tanks, trains, even space craft. I have used it for years and have a lot of fun with it.
There is also Virtual Sailor by the same developer, which is entirely for ships and boats, but it is an older iteration of the engine, and vehicle simulator does everything plus. Personally, I'd recommend Vehicle Simulator, but Virtual Sailor still has an active community developing addons for it as well.
I don't think there would be much of a demand. It all comes down to the speed of the moving object. Ships are so slow. Very slow in fact. The user experience of using a simulator on a PC requires some sort of fast motion and quick decision making to keep the user engaged and entertained. Imagine how boring it would be for sim racers using iRacing or Assetto Corsa only being able to race at 15-20 mph. If you translated that experience to X-Plane, it would be like only being able to taxi around airports. It would get boring pretty quickly. I think this is why any attempts at making ship simulators for gamers has failed commercially.
If you just wanted the experience of docking vessels or maneuvering in harbors, those ship simulators you can purchase on Steam actually do a decent job. I have been on the bridge of a ship in real life during dozens and dozens of dockings and un-dockings and it's just plain boring. You literally inch your way along toward or away from the dock as the Captain or harbor Pilot yell in rudder and engine commands from the bridge wing. They yell "Hard left, dead slow astern, etc.", and you answer back as confirmation, carry them out, all while you refill your coffee cup. It's not exactly a high pressure working environment, so no need for complex physics. Of course, it is all done at extremely slow speeds for a reason. Ships are huge and heavy and such large moving masses can only be safely controlled at very slow speeds in confined waters. The only challenging part for the harbor Pilot or Captain is dealing with the effects of wind and current on the vessel, but that is what tugboats are for.
