      No problem, Rob. I've been really enjoying them, so was happy to share. Having lived by Southampton Water most of my life and used the Hythe Ferry for decades, I was really pleased to find them for VSNG.

    It's pretty sad that this type of quality is all that is available in 2024. My theory why ship simulation is not a popular genre is because everything happens so slowly that the experience is pretty boring. I was a ship's officer on oil tankers in the 80's and 90's, and I can confirm that it's pretty boring in real life also. Even so, my dream is to have a simulator with modern graphics, decent physics and a world map like that found in MSFS.

    • @TheTransportDepot
      @TheTransportDepot  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +41

      Yes, it's definitely a small niche, and it's never going to attract the casually curious people like MSFS does. People can get a rush from crashing a jet, but running a supertanker up a beach at 6 knots isn't so thrilling.

Alright time to straighten out that rudder! Verify you're on course inside the shipping lane. Next we're gonna chug straight up this inlet for about 15 minutes and poke fun at the suicidal pleasure craft owners who seem to be expecting us to divert around them. Awesome! Next we're going to come to a full stop and wait an undetermined amount of time for the tug operators to arrive and begin coordinating docking maneuvers. There's nothing for you to do at this time.

      I didn't know him personally, but it is possible I saw him once. He lived in the city next to me (Haifa), and I went for many sails from the ports there, some with groups that he might was there.
      So sad he died the way he did. As his fellow country man and as a sailing and aviation lover, it is realy hitting hard. I saw such crash once, also in the city of Haifa, so I can imagine how it looks and how terrifying it is to die like that.
      May he rest in peace.

    It is a computer game, so they could have given bigger windows so you can see out properly.
    But mostly I think, like Starship simulator, there isn't enough to do, pilot some ships out of port, Wave goodbuy as they sail off into the blue, and you have to go help another ship.
    So we all know that after one or two of those, we will be aiming ships into other ships, try to run aground a few times, then ..... wash the glazed expressions off our faces in cold water and find something more interesting to do, like putting the bin bags out.

    are there any ship simulator games that allow you to move around the whole world like microsoft flight simulator and not in A closed off map. I know what I am saying seems weird given boats are slow compared to planes but I like the idea of taking A boat no matter what size and just setting it to the open oceon small boats just for kicks. I love simulators but my computer has A panic attack when I play flight simulator and I found out I didnt play it as much as I thought I would and the ship simulators I had were cool but limited in size and for one of them I would sail to the end of the border and then go to the menu and switch to another map but it breaks the immersion so if you let me know thanks

      Usually, you just take the folder from inside the downloaded zip file and copy it to either the "Vehicles" or "Scenery" folders of VSNG.
      If a downloaded scenery doesn't have a pre-saved "Situation" then it's best to start the game with "Empty Scene" and then teleport to the location of the downloaded scenery using the chart plotter map and the "Move TP" button.
      For vehicles, press V key, select vehicle form list and click "Add Vehicle" button.

      I've seen videos of Nautis, but not played it myself. The subscription is putting me off at the moment. I know it's not hugely expensive, but the cost still builds up.

      No, sailing boats aren't really my thing, so I wouldn't be able to judge it objectively.

    Why is your boat showing two white toplights? She is neither a tall ship nor is towing anything.😊

    • @TheTransportDepot
      @TheTransportDepot  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I didn't design the model. Not all models have switchable lights, and even then, the only switchable options are steaming lights or anchor lights, so, unfortunately, some vessels have lights "hard-coded" that are just on all the time. Well spotted though.

    Fishing North Atlantic is by far the best ship sim out there at the moment. Have you tried it?

    • @TheTransportDepot
      @TheTransportDepot  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I play F:NA a lot. It's my favourite ship sim behind VSNG, and in some ways I do prefer it. I do have some issues with F:NA though that I mentioned in my Ships at Sea preview video.

    well, theres fishing north Atlantic on steam which is good, but doesnt have rough seas, and the release of ships at sea, from same developer i think that looks promising.

    • @Knottypine79

      Yeah I just saw that they will have Early Access for Ships at Sea coming this year. It does look promising as they will have more activities than just fishing. On my wishlist.

    Wondering why there is, until now as far as I know, no good ship simulator developed based on MSFS 2020: good graphics, whole world at your disposal.......
    In short time, MSFS 2024 will be available, so: who knows.........
    Would very much like a good sailing simulator: possibly will be even able to sail the ship of Jeff Bezos ? 🙂

    • @TheTransportDepot
      @TheTransportDepot  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, MSFS has a good basis with the map and autogen technology already there. As I mentioned in my recent MSFS ship video though, it has no real water physics at all, so a lot of work would need to be done to the base code to correctly simulate water behaviour and ship hydrodynamics.
      The problem with including proper water physics and hydrodynamics in MSFS is that it would be a whole load of new calculations causing even more CPU load, and most people who were just flying a plane would never even care what the water was doing (aside from it killing their FPS).
      It could happen though, if Asobo were to split it into a separate game, rip out the unneeded aerodynamic calcs, and add hydrodynamic calcs and proper water physics instead. But, that would be a bold commercial decision on Microsoft's part.
      Sorry, for the long essay, but you raised an interesting discussion point (for me anyway).

  • @36minutesago7

    You might be better off using Microsoft flight sim with a boat or ship mod, there’s plenty of them available.

      It's not necessarily just about water animations though. The ships also have to behave in a realistic way.

      It's a simulation rather than a game, so there aren't any gameplay elements or "missions" to it. You have to rely on your own imagination to think of things to do, so not everyone's cup of tea.
