€100 per year? I don't care how good it is, that's unacceptable.
It is Very good :-)
But seriously, MSFS was over £100 at launch for the deluxe version.
How much would you pay?
& it really is Very good :-)
@@SimUKReviews I have a Game Pass subscription, MSFS is free ;)
I'd pay £100 for a base sim and all of its DLC. I have a big problem with splintered subscriptions like that. I wouldn't subscribe to Netflix and then rent a film
Touché!
...but how much do you pay per year for your Game Pass subscription? ;-)
£100 for the base game, thank you.
@@SimUKReviews "...and all of its DLC" Yeah I pay a lot for Ultimate, but I also haven't bought a game since IOM TT: Ride on the Edge 2
Well you picked a goody, that track is just beautiful :-)
This whole subscription thing is a nonsense of our times. Pure greed from the economic school of "You'll own nothing and be happy"!
I cannot help but agree.
Interesting Sim, but subscription is a no-go. Only play, if the connection is working fine? Only play, as long as the server is willing to accept your login? Only play, if the company is not going bankrupt? Nope.
Good points of concern, thanks Nii
Subscription? Lol absolute deal breaker. I’ll pass.
Seems a popular response so far.
How much would you pay for the base game?
@@SimUKReviews As a Canadian, I've regularly paid over $100 for simcontent. I'd love a shipping sim, and would pay $90-$120 easily.
Thanks.
@@SimUKReviews You're welcome. The thing about simmers and simming that these devs are missing is that I go hardcore into a sim for months at a time, then suddenly I move on to another. only to eventually come back to it again. Some days I get in a sub mood, or a flight mood. If I can't own it to revisit it when I want, I pass.
100% same as me. I was reviewing trains today, but wasn't in the Trains mood...so delayed it till tomorrow.
Be great if we could get them to reconsider..........😆
Finally a amazing ship simulator, But a subscription? ill pass, i would easily buy this for 60, ive been looking forward for this simulator only to find out that you need a subscription, they should atleast release a Demo for people to try it out
There is a demo Alex...just trying to find the link to it.
You might need to make an account and download Nautis Home...then a demo might be available.....trying to confirm my end.
It's only the subscription model that's making me think twice about getting this. I spent hours in the old ship simulator extremes going between Dover and Calais reverse docking the ferry and I quite enjoyed it and I'm sure I would enjoy playing with large ships again. First time I've seen that intro with the ship and plane and that's a pretty cool intro.
Thank you very much, it is new.
Remove the subscription model and this would sell like mad 😠
I have spent HUNDREDS on games like DCS, but I own them & can come back to play them next year if I want....I wish they would reconsider.
I agree. The only reason I haven’t bought it the subscription thing. It is annoying. I would rather them make a free game and pay for modules or flat fee at the startx
What sims you've been playing? I'm new to this world and want some good sim to start.
At this stage of early access all they seem to have done is strip down their complex simulator version and imported the assets from extremes, it even feels the same as extremes apart from realism of controlling is improved. other than that i cant see how this stands out, oh yes that's right there's no other competition out there. I really hope this isn't another extremes where they market a possible great sim with up to date graphics but then release a terrible looking mediocre sim, yes they win on realism and controls but so far for me this is just extremes with a monthly cost. :(
@@SimUKReviews Plus DCS has always been much further ahead on graphics and mechanics with realism even at early access days back when they bought out the first flaming cliffs and a-10 models.
Looks good but the subscription nope sorry, is it in steam ?
thanks for showing
Pleasure.
No this is not available on STEAM.
After the first announcement I was really excited for this sim. Until they revealed, that it would be subscription based. The plague of our times. Like many other I play a lot of different sim, if I find the time at all. I’m heavily invested in DCS. Not only time-, but money wise. I think their business model is way smarter. The base game for free and paid airframes and maps. The stuff is absolutely worth it.
I understand why developers go the subscription route. A predictable constant cash flow is nice to have, but at least in my case, they don’t get any cash flow at all.
I think the DCS model could work really well for Nautis Home. Or just do what everybody else does, sell the game on steam and generate future income through DLC.
With the subscription, I see that thing..well..dead in the water.
As a ballpark figure. What would you be willing to pay for a Ship based DCS level of quality title?
@@SimUKReviews I would say around 60€ for the base game, 20€ - 60€ per ship, depending on system depth and something similar for additional maps, depending on size and quality. Pretty much what is considered “normal” in the sim world.
Thanks
I agree with you. Im totally against subscription based games. If they released ships similar to the way DCS does, theyd make their money. FS2020 does it the same way! Free base game with free base aircraft with premium aircraft for sale individually. I suspect people will opt into a one time 6 month sub, and ditch the game after that 6 months. They cant argue this is a realistic nautical game and it requires a paid sub because DCS is a REAL combat simulator with REAL 1:1 aircraft models and REAL missile systems and its FREE. The only thing you buy in DCS are the aircraft which are heafty yes but with the level of quality you get, its worth it. $60 USD for just an Apache gunship.
I have to agree with the comments here as well. Modern game design have already put forward a better model than subscriptions, though subscription is quite simple to implement. It's a shame because I'd love to just own this and be able to play it regardless of subscription fees, and support it with additional purchases down the line if it's feasible, like most modern simulators do today.
Thanks Jay, what pricing would you accept for this title?
@@SimUKReviews As an American trucker who hauls shipping containers to our west coast, this would be interesting to try the other end of the supply chain. I for one hate online subscription models. I could see $20 a year plus purchasing a ship/harbor pack DLC, but it seems like a make work scheme to keep programmers paid after the sales slow down or dry up.
I could see $30 for off line version of game, maybe $40, then $20 a year. To include online multiplayer player, and for either real world weather data and prices to run ship as a business.
So, let’s say I load up a container ship in Los Angeles. Is load time real like 48hours, or 5 minutes? Once I exit the harbor and head to say, Oakland, CA of Tokyo Japan, is the transit real time or scaled time across a map to enter ports in real time? Same questions for storms enroute, random result or option to traverse it manually then fast travel to ports?
They make it look like you only need to create an account to play but when you start the sim, it says your "subscription" is not active and you have to pay a subscription to play. It's an absolute subscription garbage so i'm uninstalling it, and wishing them to go bankrupt. What a waste of time.
A small but significant thing to me is that the pricing isn't made readily available on the site without volunteering personal information, unless I'm missing something. It's certainly not prominently displayed. It doesn't change the value proposition of the product itself but it reather feels like the devs are looking to "rope me in", as it were, and that rather leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I have previously raised this concern and they said they would resolve it....I will check back.
Still not updated.
A subscription model with about 100 € every year???
So this simulation, which I have been looking forward to for a long time, is dead for me.
Never ever!
What would you have been willing to pay?
Thanks for the video. It seems a very nice simulator after playing countless hours on SSE, but I also have to pass on the subscription model they use. I would pay like 60 $/€/GBP for base game with full world coverage (engine) and around 40/60 per ship and around 20/30 per detailed harbor / marina /dock. A bit of how DCS or MSFS do there bussiness
Thanks
Would have preferred to pay for the core game and then additions I wanted via DLC. Due to work, home life and other titles I enjoy, the sub-model just simply doesn’t work for me, but will hopefully work for other folk 👍🏾. However, I think this model will limit the potential market.
You are not alone in that theory
Subscription?!
Not with me, thanks! 👎
What would you be prepared to pay for the base game?
@@SimUKReviews Totally depends on the company policy.
I'm not buying games on release anymore, many reasons.
But in general i will NEVER get a game for a subscription.
This would have been brilliant if it was not a subscription based game & because of that i will not be buying it no matter how good the game is if they sold the base game for 1 set fee & then start selling DLC for it id then buy it all day long
Have to ask....what would base and dlc prices be in your mind?
@@SimUKReviews Well i could see the base being sold for like $40 $50 or something around that price for just the standard base then if they wanted to make different packages with more content for more $'s then that could work & DLC i would say really that would depend on how much content there is with that DLC but could see them going from like $15 & reason i have come up with them prices is because then its kinda open to everyone & then in the same kinda price range as other good sim's like MFS ect but this is just my thoughts. 🙂
@@SimUKReviewseSim Steel Beasts pro pe model is good model, 120$ for simulator and any major update is paid additionally. With subscription the simulator will never be yours and once after hundreds of pounds invested, you will not be able to pay anymore, VStep cease operation or discontinue this simulator you will not be able to play this game. Would say that around £100 for base installation and additional ships or big update £50 would be in range of current serious simulation industry price range.
Thank you.
Excellent point, thank you.
Hi, I totally agree with you. The subscription model is not for me. Gets quite expansieve if I play like two hours a week. The base price and Additional Dlc would be great!
Thanks Ralf.
What base price would you be willing to pay?
@@SimUKReviews well. Of you compare it with Microsoft flight. It is realistic, World wide scènetje etc and you can pay extra for realistic planes (every switch works), (3rd party) I would say €100,-
Thanks
Hmm I recently tried this sim, as much as I enjoy proper physics its a bit of a headscratcher - no real life or dynamic weather, no proper navigation/gps planning, even the chart lacks many info like depth. Keeping my eye on it tho!
Very much early access. Be sure to check out the roadmap 😃
They definitely need to add a searchlight option in American inland towboats with like the Tennessee river Mississippi river Ohio river That be really sweet especially if it had working, search, lights and all that
100% 👍
I fully agree with your comments about their subscription model, what a shame, I'd buy this if there was an up front cost, but the anticipated subscription costs will turn me off fully!
Thanks Dave, what would you be willing to pay for the base game and future DLC?
the sorrowful music while you talked about the pricing was pretty appropriate, haha
Yeah, such a shame they won't reconsider that.
I look forward to this simulation but a subscription model is not what I was expecting. I prefer buying DLCs and keeping the simulation forever on my computer. I don’t mind paying $50-$70 dollars for the base simulation but I am not paying for subscription. I have the premium deluxe for MSFS and i bought DLCs too, i prefer it that way as on some weeks or months, I don’t have time to play.
Thank you.
I will agree with the others that subscription thing is a problem
I'll ask you the same question; what would You be willing to pay for the base game and DLCs thereafter?
Are you able to recreate the Evergiven? ⛳
The most realistic? Hmm, DCS! World seems to be a better fit. (Huey / Hornet / Warthog) Or even Flight Simulator 2020... So far Nautis is fine & dandy... but THE realistic? I dunno... cheers mate
DCS world is right up there for me, of course...and I didn't say this WAS the most realistic sim EVER...but that it COULD be & genuinely, it could....but we are a LONG way from that right now.
Have you tried NAUTIS Home?
@@SimUKReviews My bad i overheard COULD. (ARGH, me Age is crawling up on me) Yes Still, playing it on a Weekly Basis. My Main at the Moment is Wings over Flanders Fields & Wings over the Reich.. Cheers
No worries, I can see how shocking that would have been.
Wings over Flanders Fields looks interesting, not heard of that before :-)
Nautis Home is actually a derivative of the Nautis simulator which are used on Maratime acadamies for training. Basically the same software. I did a couple of training days to practice manoeuvring for a promotion to captain on it as well. Not the Home but the actual Nautis and it comes really close to the real deal.
Nice, I always wondered how VASTLY different they might actually be.
I'd buy it, but the subscription model made me not want to.
That sucks. What would you consider a fair price for the game and any additional DLC?
Looks awesome but I'm not subscribing to play a ship sim
What would you be prepared to pay? For a base gane you own.
@SimUKReviews I would pay full price for an open-world ship sim I dream of a ship sim like Microsoft flight simulator this feels like it is a training tool first and a simulator second but the subscription idea doesn't sit right with me for a "simulator".
OK thanks.
This is approx $120 Australian dollars a year to rent, and then will be $240 when out of alpha. Absolutely bonkers.
I asked recently if they were considering changing from a subscription model....they didn't say yes and they didn't say no..?
But I agree as good as this is (and it is really, really good) who wants to pay that much and own nothing?
Everything you said about the subscription model is entirely correct. As good as it is, I won't be buying it which is a shame really because I've always wanted a decent ship simulator. Oh well, it's their loss I guess.
Thanks, what would you pay for the base game and dlcs?
The more I see these video, the more I want it. The more I hear about subscription, the further I turn away. It looks great but I love my MSFS. That takes priority.
Yeah, I hear that a lot.
oh this is from vstep , they made that garbage ship simulator extreme.
Staying miles away from their products.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, considering the low price of a subscription for 1 month i thought might aswell try it.
What an absolute piece of shit simulator, does not have any sound and the only settings you have in the game are some buggy control settings and hardly can be called a simulator.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Audio and controller issues aside....the physical movement and control of the ships are extremely realistic, how much time did you give the game?
i'm surprised this day and age that sims like this look so bad. MSFS2020 has proven its not impossible to make both a realistic and decent looking sim game., water here looks good, but ground and budling textures look awful.
Some areas could be improved certainly.
Thanks for the video! I was watching this very closely and really looking forward to its release, but like many others the subscription model is a no go for me, especially at the prices they are charging (never mind the post-early access prices!) Hopefully they have a change of heart, I'll quickly jump in for a single purchase price, even if it were higher than other sims given the niche market for this.
If you're listening Nautis, please reconsider your pricing model!
Thanks Dave.
I ask everyone; what base price and dlc price would you pay?
@@SimUKReviews That's a really good question. If it were around CDN$60-80 and DLCs were in the CDN$20-$40 range (depending on what they include) I'd be in.
To be honest though for a one time purchase I'm not that price sensitive so if that had to be a bit higher to make it commercially viable I'd be onboard (pardon the pun!)
I might have to bite the bullet and do a one month just to try it out...that would probably help me refine my numbers.
If I compare to MSFS, the base game was around CDN$100 or $120 I think (Premium Deluxe) but since then I've probably spent a few thousand dollars on DLC over time. But it's all mine to play without ongoing costs. I could lose my job tomorrow and keep playing.
Similar for Train Sim World 3...I can't even remember what the base game cost but I've put hundreds of dollars into that game in DLC. Same idea with Train Simulator Classic and DCS to an extent.
LOL thanks Dave, much appreciated.
I don't think the cost is high per se; as if you factor 70 dollars for the sim, plus say 50-100 dollars a year for DLCs, you end up spending these money anyway... But what kill it for me is the fact that I have to pay for something that I can't play if I don't pay, even after spending a ton of money on it.
If I spend 300 dollars on it, I want to keep playing what I paid for; instead with a subscription model, I have nothing to play, unless I pay more and more.
This works if this is something I use for work; say I pay for a subscription to use Visual studio or Unity or Photoshop or 3d Studio max, but this is a game, a hobby... So many people while willing to pay for their hobby, will think a lot before give away money for free to just have fun. Doesn't matter how accurate and perfect it is; I can buy MSFS for 100 dollars and a bunch of planes, and get DLCs but I own the bloody thing and can play as long as I want when I want, and if I don't want to buy more DLCs or get new updates, I can play the game for as long as my computer and OS are able to run it.
I quite agree with you fcf, it is super high level simulation....so the price is not as big an issue as the non-ownership one.
Zero chance of picking this up because of the subscription model. $110 a year to *rent* a sim/game and own nothing is absurd.
What would you be willing to pay?
who cant afford 6€ a month? This sim will die in the cradle without a subscription model.
Do you have any other subscriptions? Plus it is only 6 during beta, will nearly double after that.
My concern is that it will die using a monthly subscription model.
1,000 paying 10 a month = 120,000 year ... but will drop numbers quickly.
30,000 people paying 30 upfront and then paying again for DLC locations and you're looking at 900000 +
@@SimUKReviews Your calculation of potential revenue seems to be based on arbitrary assumptions. While you estimate 1,000 people paying $10 a month, it's unclear how you arrived at this number. And, claiming that the numbers will drop quickly without any substantiating evidence weakens your argument.
Additionally, your proposal of having 30,000 people paying $30 upfront and then paying again for DLC locations might sound appealing from a revenue perspective, but it fails to consider the impact on the player base and the potential for alienating customers. Such a model could create a barrier for entry, leading to limited adoption and hindering the growth of the sim.
Instead, a subscription-based model can offer a sustainable revenue stream for ongoing development and support of the sim. By providing a lower monthly cost, it becomes accessible to a wider audience, ensuring a larger player base and fostering a healthier community. This, in turn, can lead to continued updates, improvements, and the availability of more DLC options.
Ultimately, the success of a subscription-based model depends on factors such as pricing, content quality, and the overall value proposition. It's crucial to assess these factors objectively and consider the long-term benefits rather than relying solely on assumptions and speculative figures.
Thank you for reading.
Hi Kristian, I love a healthy respectful debate :-)
So let me get this clear; from your perspective as I see it:
Your Argument of Who can't afford the WRONG price & The Sim will DIE Without a subscription model is based on what.....? Nothing but pure speculation right.
I find it curious that you also argue: A subscription model will keep costs low and "in turn, can lead to continued updates, improvements, and the availability of more DLC options."
@@SimUKReviews
Hello SimUKReviews. 🙂
You pointed out that my opening comment about who can't afford 6€ a month seemed speculative. You're right, I apologize for making assumptions without considering different financial situations. And yes, having DLC bundled with a subscription-model is "whack". I must have accidentally swapped my thermos for something stronger.
Now, let's delve into the comparison between subscription-based models and one-time payments using your numbers. You mentioned 1,000 subscribers paying $10 a month, which would result in $120,000 per year. While this might seem modest at first glance, it's crucial to consider the sustainability and longevity of this revenue stream. Subscription models offer a continuous and predictable income over an extended period, which allows for ongoing development and support. It also is a way to try-before-you-buy without committing with a large sump cost.
In contrast, you suggested a base price of $30 upfront for 30,000 users, ($900,000) followed by additional payments for DLC locations. While this upfront payment might provide an immediate cash injection, it's important to consider the potential drop-off in revenue after the initial sales. Additionally, relying solely on DLC purchases for future income can be uncertain, as it heavily relies on user adoption and willingness to make additional purchases. We also do not know what price they would charge for a one-time purchase, making the $30 a guesstimate at best.
A subscription-based model provides a more predictable and sustainable income stream, ensuring ongoing updates, improvements, and the availability of additional content. This stability allows the development team to plan for the future, invest in continuous enhancements, and provide a consistent experience for subscribers.
While a one-time payment model may seem enticing for some users who prefer an upfront cost, and the feeling of ownership, it can lead to challenges in long-term support and development. By adopting a subscription-based approach, Nautis HS can secure a reliable revenue stream, allowing for a more sustainable and consistent evolution of the sim.
Ultimately, as you said, our shared goal is to see Nautis HS thrive and improve. While we may have different perspectives on the business model, I find it important to consider the long-term viability and the ability to provide ongoing support to users. By implementing and keeping a subscription-based model, Nautis HS can, in my opinion, ensure a more stable future and continue delivering a high-quality experience for its dedicated community.
A great insight but the subscription option is just a no for me. I'd sooner go back to Ship Sim Extremes
What base price and dlc price would you consider fair?
How did you get it on 3 screens? I’m struggling…. Love your video btw
Cheers.
I showed the process multiple times in these videos th-cam.com/play/PLqCcKPhsV5eAJyLQGotMUHCx_EqikD2Op.html
Another great review!
I had been looking forward to this new sim for ages, then I spotted on their website that it was going to be subscription only, so I emailed them to voice my disappointment.
It's clear from most reply's on here that a subscription model is the wrong way to go.
I would be willing to pay FS2020 prices (£60-£120) as it looks to be the best ship sim out there, but subscriptions for a game, no, not ever!
Thank you Red Nose
100 euros a year is to much. i would much easier pay 100 euros knowing the game is mine forever and i can play has much has i want. Yes when dlcs come out imi would need to pay extra but it would never come to 100 euros a year and, the dlc is an option, not something you need to keep paying to play the game.
also the dlc model for these kinds of games is much better, since you can choose what kind of vehicles and places you want.
Thanks Axel.
It's very expensive it's also after a while very boring it's the same as a real boat. I was Captain on a dutch coaster For 25 years . Only de tugs are fun. But not to long. Rene
on a good coaster
You sound as if you might have some real world experience. What would you like to see added?
@@SimUKReviews gife the operator more assignments... Communication and orders by trafficpost. More traffic ,
Fast response required. Example.....rudder faillure.,
Temp coolingwater. Fast ships are coming from behind. Make it more dynamiek. Gr rene
Can you ruin bridges or wreck submarines?
Not at this moment in time, although docks and bridge interaction is about to launch.
can we adjust the ships ballast ?
That is an upcoming feature, so not yet.
Is for free
I really hate subscription games
Yeah, I'm not a fan of owning nothing.
We need one of these with an engine plant simulator. -Marine Engineer
Hmmm, nice
Was very disappointed to learn of the subscription model. I won't be participating in early access as a result and will likely never become a sub at all to be honest. I was looking forward to this sim, but that's most likely a deal breaker.
Yeah I fully understand that.
What would be a fair price in your mind for such a product? And any future dlc?
I'd pay 59 dollars USD for the base product and happy to pay for additional DLC that I would want to pick up. New maps / ships etc... Seems fair to me. Thanks for the content on your channel.
Many thanks indeed.
Is the whole world drivable?
No, ports are recreated on 1:1 scale...no way of sailing across the world........yet.
Subscription means move on to other waters. Fixed price with expansion packs was the way to go.
How much would you pay for main gane and dlc?
@@SimUKReviews MSFS prices. $55 - $65. $70 if the product is outstanding.
Cracking new intro boss man :)
Thanks!
I ws about to download it and try it until you mentioned the subscription based model.
What would you have paid?
@@SimUKReviews Possibly 49.99 maybe more. Depends what is in the game. As for MSFS I paid for the top tier version on that but I knew the modding support for it would be extensive and improve it even further. Also MSFS came with paid DLC's which I have paid for because of the planes and economy mods I wanted.
I'm not going to pay every month to play a view hours a week. I understand such subscription systems for proffesional use on schools, but not for hobby use.. This subscription hype nowadays is not my piece of cake anyway. But complements to the makers, it looks realy good.
Thanks for your comment Roland.
What would you consider a fair price for the base game and future DLC.
I have spend time looking for these many hours of video you mentioned but only to find a handful of short videos in your playlists or your timeline..
Can you make a playlist of all these videos so that they are easier to find please?
If I'm considering a serious investment in this I would rather have more to go and bring the very few advertorials out there.
th-cam.com/video/0Lp8he8EQBM/w-d-xo.html
I fear they dont really want to sell it to many people. I just wonder why they invest all the work if not intending to bring it to the consumer... it is already a niche group of potential customers. Even Command Modern Operations can manage a non subscription model. And it is expensive too. But that way I stay with other Alternatives. Soon enough some awsome naval sims will make it on the market. What a shame for this one. Dead on arrival.
i just try it by present, still lack of many bouy (navigation mark)(compare to the real sea chart), and lack of another vessel (target) to let me practice Collision avoidance, and no any Catamaran with 4 separate water jet or other control type (non propeller )
Thanks for your feedback.
Let's hope they go a little more realistic with managing difficult ports and water ways. In real life they have docking captains, port captains, and powerful tugs to maneuver you around port.
I believe this is the intention.
I paid the subscription for a month, and truthfully the whole software feels like a scam. While the hydrodynamics are decent, the ship controls are sad. You only get to control the rudder, throttle and side thrusters. I was trying to get in the Hong Kong harbor but since I have no ballast control I was getting grounded. Performance is bad with i9 and 4090.
How many of the challenges did you complete?
@@SimUKReviews Hi, I only did The English Channel crossing and a couple of more but that is besides the point.
What I am looking for in a modern ship simulator is the ability to fully control your ship.
Being able to load the ship and change the weight configuration is crucial to maintaining an upright position. Also ballast has to be carefully adjusted to maintain the correct center of gravity depending on the different load configurations, ship orientation etc.
Yeah I agree, but it is still Alpha.
Development has been slower this year than last, not sure why, but these things are likely to be in eventually.
Try some of the more technical test exams, you will see where the majesty of this game is.
@@SimUKReviews Will do sir, great video by the way
Thanks
Its a very nicd sim but i hope that subscription stuff isnt permanent
What would you be willing to.pay for the base game?
@@SimUKReviews I'm honestly not sure, I'd have to think about it
I wish it wasn't subscription based I would pay MSFS prices including DLC like others have said....I've been itching for a good ferry simulator, one with realistic docks (not just docking against a wall) but this doesn't seem like it will hit the mark unless they change there pricing structure
Thank you Nick.
The horribly gamey yellow markers and arrows etc and useless charts along with the overly demanding system requirements and subscription model made me dump this, I might go back after a year or so to see if things are improved.
another rent game, no thank you.
Would you pay a base price and then dlc?
If so, what price?
We can play with ps4?
Sorry I don't think so no.
How did you connect the steering wheel? I need to connect a flight sim throttle quadrant as well for propulsion control.
Controller support is 99% faultless.
VR compatible?
Not yet
The subscription does not bother me at all. If it's worth it, I'll gladly pay. I subscribe to iracing and spend $300+ per year and am happy to do so.
OK thanks, good to get both perspectives.
Have you signed up?
@@SimUKReviews yup!
And your thoughts?
@@SimUKReviews definitely interested to see what evolves. I was able to get triple monitors working easily and am using a throttle quadrant for throttles and a racing sim wheel . lots of potential! I discovered this from your vids.
Awesome :-) Feel free to share links to any of your vids here !!
I'm interested in finding a pc based marine simulator that would allow me to practice crossing a busy shipping lane/TSS. Does this simulator have variable conditions or is it always the same traffic?
This is going to evolve into what you want, it prob isn't there yet.
Now I don't know how busy the English channel gets, but this is a route.
Many of us like sim. But we also have allready a life and work to do. So we dont need a rea life ship simulator that teach us so good that would be able to drive a real ship, bside that no one would allwoed it.
So a sim like that not sure I think it's less on the good side then we think.
Then I don't think you want a Sim...because Sims are as real as it gets.
@@SimUKReviews nop u wrong
ETS 2
ATS
Construction sim
Train sim
Distraction sim
Thief sim
House flipper
Etc.
@@SimUKReviews
They are many sim out there without being to realistic.
Most realistic games are.
SimRail
Arma
Flight sim
And this game
These are not sims....they are realistic games
Now these are sims
Looks good but something I’d probably only like to play occasionally unless there was some economic cargo or passenger job progression aspect to keep me interested I am similar with Flight Sim 20 atm. The new Ships At Sea probably more up my street as enjoyed Fishing North Atlantic a lot. I will defiantly at least try Nautis though and give it a chance.
It is so very realistic....if you want to learn how to sail a ship like this....there is nothing better.
I'd really like to see an economy mod though 😃
I wish they make flightsim compatible with ships, boats and sailboat mods. The world and the physics is there so should be doable.
Pretty sure there are some....not very good maybe, but they are there.
This is a rehash of the quite hopeless Ship Simulator and Ship Simulator Extremes also by VStep. It even has the same crappy ship models as those very old products. Horrific interface, ugly low res ship models, ridiculous pricing. You'd be better off with Virtual Sailor for a fraction of the price and a quite active community.
No it really isn't.
You should try it.
@@SimUKReviews Oh I have tried it. How would I otherwise form an opinion? I had the same complete feeling of letdown from the previous iterations. The developers simply don't understand how to build a simulator with a community and how to price it. It will die out like their previous attempts unless they change direction completely.
OK Great (You would be amazed how many people can form opinions without trying).
So whilst I share concerns about the pricing/subscription model I am surprised you found it lacking in simulation...?
What are the key areas you found were missing?
@@SimUKReviews Yes, indeed people love their opinions, so I completely understand why you\d assume that... hehe. Well... In my humble opinion, Vstep is all about waves, currents, charts and systems. Fair enough. But it's not fair enough for a consumer product that needs the immersion a physical simulator brings. Their sims always lack immersion. The simple thing of just walking the bridge and feeling like you're there. And my dismay comes from noticing that they're seemingly on the same engine as 10 years back with no attention focused on bringing that missing immersion to the table and that they're just re-using ship models from before. Virtual Sailor has mods with way more realistic ships and that's not asking for 100 USD per year. I don't have high hopes for this one and nothing I've seen or read makes me believe they're on the right track. Look at the simulators available these days. We have everything from Brewmaster to Tourist Bus Simulator, to Farming Simulator, titles that take immersion very very seriously. Vstep doesn't get it and I don't see that they ever will. Just my humble analysis. And as always when thinking the negative, I sincerely hope to be proven wrong!
Just a question, have you watched the many videos I have uploaded on Sim UK Ultimate Realism?
I only ask as there is a lot more in terms of simulation here than the likes of Farm Sim (unless you implement mods of course).
I only ask incase you missed some Important factors during your test play.
I do agree, walking around the decks would be great, and I do believe they are intending to do that, but for now 1 year in there are some positives to take away.
I'm working on a 2024 updated review, maybe you might find some positives there.....but I will defo checkout the sim you mentioned too.
Hey mate could tell me how you set up triple screen on the game as l have triple screen
Hi Mark, sure.
You can watch me do it in a few of my videos, but basically setup NVIDIA surround and make that your default monitor.
Win + left arrow to shift it out of full screen (shoukd still be on your left side surround) and then use mouse to drag the screen all the way across.
I added boats and ships into my Microsoft Flight Simulator and they run and looks very good, just like in real life! I just pay for the boats addon's only!
What is it called?
@@SimUKReviews you’ve probably found out by now, but they should be in the store for download.
No subscription software for me.
Thanks. What would you be willing to pay? For base and dlc locations/Ships?
@@SimUKReviews 80 euro would be my max, but no subscription for me.
Thanks, and for DLC's?
What is the name of this game
I would use it for fun, on a casual basis. With that price, no I won't use this, even if it half as awesome as shown in the video.
What would you be happy with? Price-wise?
@@SimUKReviews I have one subscription at 6,50 euro/month because the software is really special and with high impact on my play styles. But mostly 5 euro a month is really my max. That is 60 euro a year what I find is a good average cost of a game or tool. A game or tool must be VERY special to ask for more and for me to accept that. From what I have seen of Nautis, it looks great, but the price of 9,xx a month is in my opinion excessive. Certainly compared to other subscription based games and simulators. If the base price to buy it right out was above 50 euro I would not do it too. But be aware, this is totally my personal feeling and opinion, I fully understand that others find it a perfect price and such.
Thank you
@@SimUKReviews seeing more videos about this sim, the more I’m convinced that the asked price is overvalued for a home sim. Excessive really. The graphics are not on par with current day expectations, no open world. Unless they do some extensive changes to both what they deliver and the piece this will never be a ‘go’ for me.
They made a mistake with having monthly subscription. Just make one time purchase, I dont care if its very expensive, but at least i can OWN a thing and have it for the rest of the time.
How much would you be willing to pay for base/DLC?
@@SimUKReviews 60 € no problem
thank you.
29.75 euro 6 months is good price for this very good simulator
Not everyone agrees with you....do you intend to play anything else?
Cheers, Mike!
This model is far too rich for my blood. What a shame more people won't be able to experience this.
The number of months of gameplay I put into Ports of Call on the Amiga, 100% of the time manually docking... this looks like that on steroids. I'd love to play the sim and in VR it would be even crazier (dunno if VR is on the horizon, or if it can be tweaked-in). Sadly, it looks like I'll never get to do it.
Pleasure.
Without doubt a lot of people are going to miss out on this magnificent simulator as a result
I wish they would incorporate ocean liners from the past and present. It’s hard for me to get down with a game like this when there aren’t ships that I favor. Do you think they will ever incorporate ocean liners? I want to buy the game but I am not sure what I would use. The cruise ship looks good I guess. Can you make the transatlantic crossing on this game?
They are constantly looking to include more ships and content, so every reason to believe it is a maybe.
@@SimUKReviews awesome can you sail from at-least Southampton to New York? Or maybe even via Cherbourg France and Queens Town? Also what about Liverpool snd Belfast? As long as I can run the cruise ship I guess for now from Southampton to New New York I will make do.
ATM it is more like sailing into and out of a single port.
@@SimUKReviews ATM?
@@Steam_Ships_and_Trains at the moment
Hello, is it possible to play as a Radar here? Navigating Ships and redirecting them and stuff like that, like an Atc in MFS
No, but great suggestion
@@SimUKReviews thank you:) a multiplayer mode would be great. for example you spawn in a harbor in England, and you could drive your ship all the way to istanbul in Multiplayer.. and some peoples playing as an radar navigating the ships and giving them order.
Yes indeed.....Pretty sure BMS has these abilities already...? I could be mistaken?
It's very cool , i'm a real second mate
Oh nice. It is evolving very well.
yeah I’ll stick to getting paid for it😂
Best of both worlds
