I just found out about this series and decided I would give the latest version a try, Ship Sim Extremes. It is downloading now and I will have screens up later. Anyone else played it, or plays any of the series? www.shipsim.com

I've played 08 and would like to play extremes, but just haven't had the chance to.

I played the demo a while ago, but my computer was too shitty to handle it. I might give it a shot again now that I have my computer upgraded. Thanks for reminding about this!

I gave this a run too before my computer was very good, might try it again now, graphics seemed ok. But i did notice that some of the bigger ships seem uncontrollable lol, I nearly beat the keyboard trying to figure it out.

Yes, I was pressing every button trying to get it to move, I brought the anchors up, and even moved the throttle with the mouse and it wouldn't budge. So I honked the horn and took some screens.

If your playing extremes then there is no proper screenshot tool you have to do it like you are. As for not being able to move, it's it big cruise ship. They're slow, things take time.

A little late, but I bought Ship Sim Extremes. Piloting the Agile Solution out of Rotterdam. Transfering the Pilot to the Jumbo Javelin outside of Europort.

I have a laptop nvidia card with no issues. You seem to run haulin a lot better than myself so I can't see why you would have issues. Headed out for an evening's pilot duties.

The only issues I have is when it comes to Steam Games. I have Ship Sim through Steam, so my Optimus for some reason doesn't work with it, same with TF2.

Hmm well then. I know from browsing the ship aim forum that they seem to have a lot of problems with the steam version. My only recommendation would be to look around on there and see if you can find help.

I don't know too much about computers, what exactly is an optimus?

www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.htmlIt is basically where my laptop has both an Intel and nVidia Graphics card, it is supposed to switch automatically between cards based on your settings in the nVidia control panel.

Oh ok I'm assuming I have something like that then. So it's like it's just not detecting the game?

I don't really know what to tell you then. I had sort of a similar issue with my old laptop and haulin. It didn't detect it so it wouldn't pick up my increased settings so I just cranked up the world settings.
On a side note, I posted that picture of the pilot boat on their forum and the ship sim people liked it enough to use it for their Facebook page.

There was in issue aboard the Ocean Star and I'm headed to take over as captain. Tieing up the yacht before heading over the Ocean Star. Lines all let go and headed out. Good to be under way.
