[HiFlyer 9,362]

A heads up on something I just bumped into, that I thought might tickle somebody else's fancy, as well.

Somehow I don't think I would enjoy such a snail's pace voyage across an ocean. I'd likely enjoy more watching paint dry on my living room's walls... 🤪

But of course, to many people, flightsims are just as, if not more boring, as you essentially sit for hours monitoring instruments, with not much happening on your transatlantic/pacific flight....

Truck drivers of the sky.....

Different strokes.

That reflection flashing / shimmer and lack of AA is awful. Is that on low settings or something? 🤨

That's how I feel about Formula 1 motor racing but as Devon writes, different strokes for different folks is the hackneyed saying but it is quite right.
There must be skills to driving a ship, or anyone would be allowed to do it and ships' Captains would not be able to command the huge salaries that they do.

I hope Nautis allows higher simrates (>128x) or gets a Jump Ahead function (same as the one in the FSL and QW birds for P3D).

Just ignore Verstappen's existence and then F1 is somewhat decent 😂

Subscription model is for the birds.  What a shame.  Its a very nice simulation despite lacking harbor scenery. 

On the other hand , Navismaster is a modern version of Virtual Sailor NG.   Still early Alpha, but the water and lighting looks pretty darn good for an Alpha.  There is a free download and a Patreon version.

Having crossed the Pacific Ocean three times on troop ships and being bored silly most of the time I would think on-line boredom would be more than I would care for unless the sim included pornographic novels to read while cruising the ocean blue.

Until it includes a full steam turbine engine room, I'm not interested. I don't care how out of date it is.  😉
