Sorry! It doesn't work - says server returns naff information or words to that affect.
Is there a mirror site which doesn't mirror the above message?
Thanks again.
-
Of which website please?
Sorry for the bother.

Sorry for troubling everyone - but I cannot find the download!
I have been to VSN and the shipyard, and am obviously losing my eye sight - can some one please point me to the download.
Thanks

Now this is a good update for me. Sailing into Navplion in Greece was perfect (felt nearly real)! And thanks for making the water go flat again.
One very happy customer.
Time for a sunset and a cold drink...

Even in this second post it is quite expensive!

That is one expensive duck!

Just got back fro Malta, where I saw this sight. When it got closer I can tell you that the superstructure is firmly attached to the 'barge' and that there were curtains etc in some windows.
Anyone ever seen one of these??
If you have, what are they? Floating and 'moveable' flats? Temporary housing for workers? A new floating continent??

Superb effects - a great advance!
Ilan, is there a reason why I cannot get really small waves - because I like lying on the hook, and one foot waves (even though they claim to be zero) are just a bit too big. I would like nearly flat if possible.
Great job - keep it up!

Very well done Duane, excellant tutorial - and taught me how to cure the 'double sided' problem.
Thanks!

All,
Can someone please let me know if I should be doing scenary with or without real sea scale. It doesn't bother me either way, I would just like to know before I continue.
Thanks in advance.

That framerate difference is so large that either
a) Ilan has made a boo boo and left debugging code in,
b) You have something different set (waves look smaller and tighter together in 6.8 screeny)
c) Something else I cannot think of.
It is strange that I cannot replicate this - please could you send me the CFG files for the startup of VS - because I am interested in things like this.

I have to agree with this - Thanks.

I think this is a great idea, but please could we fix on a size for the picture, say 800*600 or something similar.
1024 is the standard roughly nowadays, but with the web bordering everywhere it soon requires scrollbars to view the whole picture.
Just an idea, choose to ignore if you will...

I may be wrong here, but the 'gramaphone' thing is actually a communication method to the engine room (or anywhere else come to that). It was simply a tube (although it did I think have some acustic properties) which had a cone at each end.
It allowed the captain and who ever was at the other end to shout at each other - primitive, but effective communication.

If you look at the download page it says that the file size is 7.2mb. This file is actually the same for demo and full version, the difference being the serial number you have to put in it.
Have fun, the programme is well worth it.

Eight bit sound files are/were quite noisy, but the hiss shouldn't be introduced when you go from 16 down to 8 - the other way around and I would expect it, but not 16 to 8. If you want, send it to me (is it big??).
I have a digital recording studio at home and can convert audio thingies to any other format you want and apply some noise deadening filters for you.
How are you currently reducing the bit count by the way?

I have just been given a new laptop from work, and so have de-installed the old VS (6.7) and moved it onto my new laptop. I now cannot run it as it wants a new key. So I go to the web site, put all my information in and hit GO, and the system tells me that I cannot get a key because I purchased the system too long ago - BUT the system was working on my old machine.
I know that Ilan is away, but is there a way round this - I cannot run the programme due to all the extras (demo only runs with some scenaries etc).
My old machine is not here anymore - I have no way of playing VS!! Please can someone help me.
Thanks in advance...

Sorry - in English please??

Er - it appears as if you are talking to yourself..
Where are the other posts?

Hi there,
I am almost certain that this is not possible for a number of reasons. Firstly, the accuracy of the areas created may be 'suspect' - they are created loveingly but quite possibly fall a few (!) nautical miles from where they should be.
Secondly, real GPS has chart datums which differ dramatically across the globe (I have very unfortunately come across this in real life), and these are not stored in VS. These are just two reasons - must be many more.
As far as the actual GPS data, it is simply a NMEA feed in text format, and there are a thousand free utilities out there to read them and display them on your computer - so IF anyone decided to do this, it wouldn't be a massive undertaking.
Just thought - wouldn't it be good if we could write plugins for VS - I would gladly write the GPS interface if there was a hook for me to plug into out there...

For those of you interested in Atlantis etc, please find a link to a man claiming to have found them!

Use http://www.multimap.com for English places - very good indeed. Put the postcode in the first screen and viola - I see you will be very close to some very nice beaches - lucky man.
This site also has a route planner - but it assumes that you are driving. Try the railway web sites for times etc for trains.
Welcome to England - when you come that is.

Hi all,
Just saw the messages about the video cards and thought I would let you know that this happens on my machine as is due to memory on the graphics card. My card is also shared memory (laptop) and the white is when the card runs out of memory.

My Heroine!
If ever I am in Oz, and if ever I am near to where you live, and if ever we meet - I will buy you a chilled beer.
Thank you.
