For me these are the two biggest improvements:

- Added autosave option every 10 seconds.
- Wave reduction in ports near land or inside marinas.

Will try it out as soon as I have some sparetime - Thanks Ilan

Thank you very much for the constant feed of updates. I just bought VSNG some days ago and really liking it!

Great work, and please keep it up. It will be the best in It´s class at this pace. Again, thank you Mr. Papini for all your effort and dedication all these years.

All the best,

Nice update, But now the radar antennas rotates even slower...

Be carefull!

It looks like the intruder got into download page.
VS installation files (both vsn_update.exe and vsn_minimal.exe) are infected with trojan.

Other downloads seem clean.

Hello syrphid,

I have scanned both files, they are clean, no hacking has been done.
windows shows you message about unknown application, this does not mean a virus just that Microsoft is not familiar with this file

"Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
More info"

This problem repeats every time i upload updates, because it takes time for their scanner to scan each new file, it usually sorts itself out
after a week or so.

All files are safe and clean.

Thanks,

Ilan

I had similar problems with Microsoft Edge. the files were not even downloaded. So I switched browser and no more messages from Microsoft telling me this file will damage my computer.

I've had the same problem in Firefox, but if you click on "See details" you can opt to 'continue anyway...I trust this website'. It also occurs after download, when I run exe file to install update...but "See details" allows overriding Windows Defender.

Very nice improvments. Its nearly perfect, but im missing one single thing. In Vehicle Simulator you can go into Slow-Mode aswell. Here you can only go to 1x. speed minimum, but i would love atleast 0.25x

All files are safe and clean.

Thank you all, it could be a false alarm.
