Re: Old Virtual Sailor as freeware?
Sorry for bumping this topic. I noticed that the web archive does not have the latest version of old VS 7.5.1 timestamped 25-07-2017. For the nostalgics I prepared below a link for that latest version. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tnguylTT7Ts5t2NAfWZttsep_hLlHU_a/view?usp=sharing You still need...

Re: Very Sad News (Ilan Papini 1963-2024)
Now that the developer of Virtual Sailor NG Ilan Papini has died, can Virtual Sailor NG/Vehicle Simulator still be purchased via Hangsim.com and be activated after installing it on your PC? Or is it very sensible to buy these two programs only from Steam from now on? Since Ilan Papini has died, the ...

Re: Very Sad News (Ilan Papini 1963-2024)
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,

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.

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.
