you need google flash plug in. Perhaps an older computer will not accept it.
Sorry bout that.

This computer is old and needs to be replaced. My son has made the comment that it is far outdated too. Kelley (Texas) 
I just spent about 1:45 minutes with the cruise ship. I made it out, but I took out 2 can bouys, side swiped one barge, but it never sounded any alarms so kept going. Jumping between all 4 screens I managed to get out. Center channel was not the way for sure.
I did fine staying to the left so the stern would make the swings better in deep water. Hard part was finding the hole thru the reef at the end into deep water....Fun... . Pretty neat..... I wonder if it will let me run it on the waters here in Connecticut that I know well....?
I did most of it at around 22 knots....long as you look far enough ahead......All those different views help alot....... Do you notice the ship on occasion seem to run aground for a second or to, then continue on? Is that lag, or are we in the shoals...?

jerking also. I cut a few corners and noted it, figured it would cost me some expensive repairs
Seems the guys are not using Vista or 7 which prompts you to download the flash plugin from google.
Fun game i thought.
You should have heard the unladylike language Carol got curious and had me send her the link, a minute or so later she sez, hey this thing doesn't turn! I sez, sure it does, just be patient and plan ahead some. I told her about the slow turning and lagtime like on a real ship but being a female.......

of one, but watched enough of them on the Thames River, mostly navy and cargo ships coming into port. They would try to turn just above our boat yard and it took the entire river to do it and was a slow process. I was figuring the can buoys would wrap around the
prop, but they never did. I know lobster pots do that very well..... Jump back and foth to all 4 screens keeps you out of trouble also.
I don't know what would happen if you kept going out to sea. I though it might put something on the screen once you reached beyond the blue waters. That was how I found my way out.... I wonder if they have a add side wind to it....That would change it real fast in how it handles. I'd have a lot of work them as all the buildings along the shoreline near port would be wrecked.... I wonder if they will put out say a sailboat and let us run around the world. Chart your course, leave pc on overnight, change course in the am.... or better yet a sub, with window view so we could look at some of those mountains in the oceans and trenches.... Who knows what these will envolve to in later years. That one Royal was running with all the shots of the homes near the road were really pretty interesting. I use Google Earth to find Geocaches. If you activiate the KML files, it will let you see where they are..... If we are traveling even locally, I always check and see if there is one I can grab on the way.... Plenty of them out there, now just need the time to stop......
I'm running it on XP Pro on this system but it worked equally as well on Vista and Win 7 in 64 bit..... Just had to download and update for XP....Fast download and quick install...... To me the rest is enough ram to run them. Games are greedy for ram.... I have not tried to turn off any of the buildings and other items it offers on the left pop up screen. That might help some with limited ram....
Hey, another thought.... They should let to guys sail and find each other on the high seas. Easter Island or something.. Only in priate ships....
Again, thanks for heads up on that one...... I like that kind of stuff.. Geo

It is free register, no extras to buy, no app to download as it just uses flashplayer.
There are races that take months to complete and i have done a couple but mostly i do the "Friday races", they take a couple days. Only problem is being European based the races start at 3 am for me, ugh! Would be 6am out your way.
I am there as "Piscies1". One needs to mostly be able to check their puter often because they have 3 hr wind updates and a missed sail or course change can sometimes cause a loss of many positions, other times its good for half a day.
Usually about 400+ racers in each event, i usually place in the top 50 and have often made top 10.
They also have a discussion forum and group ranking for English speakers and will sometimes schedule races near your home port by request, i have had two in my home waters (west coast Vancouver Island) in the past few months.
