Very sad news to hear that Ilan Papini has died, rest in peace, Ilan! I hope that VSNG will still be further developed with new updates of this game and that new customers can still buy and activate this beautiful game.
My condolences,
D. Mast

Re: VS NG performance failures
While naval war games like World of Warships and War Thunder perform much better than VS NG does. What makes these two naval war games performing much better than VS NG?

Re: VS NG performance failures
The advantage of the Steam version is that you can replace the computer more easily :D In the non-Steam version of VSNG you have to activate this program again after installing it on a new PC. When this happens after 2 years since the last activation, or you have reactivated VSNG three times, you h...

Running Virtual Sailor NG in Linux by using Wine.
Virtual Sailor NG can run under Linux by using Wine, a compatibility layer in order to run Windows apps under Linux. To make VS NG run properly in Wine, you have to install Directx9c and disable the winegstreamer.dll by manually adding winegstreamer"="" under section [Software\\Wine\\...

Re: Activation
That is not a bug. It seems reasonable to me that the creator of the simulation who continues to update and upgrade it, deserves rewards for his time and effort. I knew from the outset that after 2 years, if you changed your pc, hard drive, or other major component, you'd have to repurchase. I've h...

Re: VS NG performance failures
I was reading online that AMD dropped all support for DirectX9 in 2020. There are also a few posts on various of websites surrounding AMD in general with DirectX both CPU and GPU and they don't always mix well with them. I think this was one of the reasons why I chose not to get an AMD CPU (despite...

Re: No new updates
But free add-ons should not entirely disappear, because not every buyer of Virtual Sailor NG can afford paid add-ons. But paid add-ons could be add-ons which have a much better graphics quality and have more features than free add-ons.

You can use whois.domaintools.com to look for which hosting providers host illegal crack and warez sites, moreover by downloading cracks and warez from these sites, your PC can become infected with dangerous malware.

Re: No new updates
Is Virtual sailor NG entirely dependent on Ilan Papini himself? If that's true, it will not be a good thing for further development and maintenance of this game when he resigns or when he dies.

In Vehicle Simulator you can add instruments on the consoles of the navigation bridge in the Panel Design window. But How do I know the right X, Y and Z coordinates of the spot on the bridge on which the instrument can be added? After adding any instrument in Vehicle Simulator, I can't find the adde...

When you're in the boat.cfg parameter to adjust xyz coordinates, you can scroll down and manually adjust inertia along those axes, or scroll further down and click 'reset inertia'. When I am in the 'Vehicle Elements' tab, I can edit the body element with parameters like [i_xx], [I-yy] and [i_zz] wh...

Re: How to make ships turning faster and increase max. speed?
You can experiment with moving the center of gravity up the y-axis a little bit at a time, and adjusting inertia. But beware...too high, and you will capsize. The parameter [boat_cgy] defines the height of the centre of gravity which influences the angle of heel in turns. Which parameter in vehicle...

Re: How to make ships turning faster and increase max. speed?
The rate of turn is defined by the mass of the ship. In the vehicle.cfg of Peter Pan III the parameter [mass] is set at 75000000.00. A value which is way too high to make more realistic rates of turn. When I decrease this value to 3549200.00, the rate of turn becomes more realistic. But both in Virt...
