Ship Simulator Free Download __FULL__

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.
An Aframax is a type of oil tanker with a deadweight between 80,000 and 120,000 metric tonnes. The name is derived from the Average Freight Rate Assessment (AFRA), developed by Shell Oil in 1954. Aframax ships are used for short-medium crude oil transportation. Due to their size, Aframax ships can serve ports around the world, including ports that do not have the size and space to accommodate Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) and Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC). They have cargo capacities of roughly 750,000 barrels.
The exterior hull of the Spirit-class is painted blue on the upper hull and red on the lower hull. The superstructure and funnel are painted white, with the funnel being painted black at the top. Oil pipes run along the length of the ship, along with a crane.
Fortunately, for some of the longer missions, there is an option to run the sim at 4x speed. Some of the longer sub-missions can last up to an hour, even with time accel on, so there is a lot of gameplay when you multiply the two geographic areas (North Sea & Baltic Sea) x the missions x the sub-missions. A lot of the gameplay is repetitive, but the story does tend to keep you interested in seeing what is coming next. In keeping with the frustrating lack of wind drift and/or current, there are some other nautical missteps that are kind of aggravating for a sailor like myself. The sailboats sit around tied up to the dock with their sails raised, and on the missions such as the one where you must escort a sailboat back to port, it sails at impossible angles to the wind (like dead into it). Again, not a big deal, but for ship/maritime type enthusiasts, these things are glaring.
