Finally after lots and lots of struggle i managed to integrate SailSim OnLine features into the native Linux build. All Linux users are welcome to try the features, browse through the settings, look at all the cool features which have been collecting user feedback all this time on other platforms. I also created a small discussion in the Community hub for those who have any notes or bugs to rep…
I am happy and honestly very excited to announce that starting from today on SailSim version 5.60 and onward, we are fully integrated with Unreal Engine 5.5.4 and its latest libraries. It took me a lot of effort and hard work to be able to afford a good Laptop to be able to use the latest software since SailSim was developed on a 15 year old 11 inch PC before today. There were many changes done…
This is a minor update to keep all versions across all platforms uniform as i prepare for new releases and development. Had to update lots of libraries and barely kept up with the latest requests from iOS and Android sides. More to come soon :)
A new achievement was added for those who really love SailSim and reach 20.000xp. In this update i also fixed few things, added some new ones. I finished the Flag/Country translations which were new in the previous update. Added a "Force Start" function in the racing lobby in case someone fell asleep so the rest can begin racing. One cool addition to Racing was "Penalties" which will speed up y…
This update adds some nice functionality related to Saved Game Data. You can now transfer your progress from one platform to another as long as SailSim is supported on it. Additional stability for Racing was implemented along with other nice updates. Below is a list of the most notable ones: - Cross-Platform Save / Load (Progress Transfer) - Flag Purchase is saved in Cloud Backup - No Need to r…
This update integrates deeply flags into SailSim. You can choose the flag you would like to represent while sailing during Cross-Play or Racing. Flags are also integrated into Portal in general and in many other places within the simulator. You can unlock flags in the Shop/Unlock section. Additional updates are as follows: - Subtitles have been translated - New icons and images added throughout…
You can Skip the tutorial now if you wish. It was mandatory before this update. New Race time was decreased (not sure why i had it so long) so that those playing can create a new race much sooner. This time is also decreased as you win more races. New Leader-Boards were added for the Fastest time per each environment. The time is also linked to Portal and its Leader-Board. Some aesthetic adjust…
I started adding Accessibility features to SailSim. You shall find some of them in the Settings menu. If anyone has any suggestions about other functions, i would be happy to listen.
Due to high demand for racing within SailSim, Cross-Play was reconfigured to accept the additional load. Please update to version 5.49 or above if you want to see others and them to see you, since many parameters changed. Should be much more stable and smooth now.
This update ads Alerts to the settings. Now you can get a side note while you are exploring SailSim, when someone initiates a race. Also you can disable update notifications. Additionally i did some fixes related to Cross-Play which should make the experience much smoother. Sabre Spirit had an issue with a Game Controller which is also fixed now. Some minor adjustments to the UI were also made,…
Maps have been added in this update. Now you can view the map of each environment, zoom in or out, let the map follow you or navigate through it manually. You can enable the Map functionality through the “Unlock” menu. Changes also have been made to the values of each feature in the Unlock menu based on their value overall as well as effort put into making and integrating it.
I mostly wanted to finish up the translations here and do some adjustments. As far as game-play only few minor tweaks. I will begin working on more features after this as the Terminology in Greek took a lot out of me :) There were several additions made to SailSim but they were made for Mobile devices and are not as much Game related as convenience.
This update contains newly added "Hints" which can be found in the Unlock section. Additionally the Tutorial was refined and adjusted to be a bit more precise. A Pause was implemented when SailSim is in the background. Some Fixes were done and few bugs eliminated. Greek Translation is done up to 83%
In this update i created a Tutorial for all newcomers based on user requests. Sometimes the simplest things elude me since i was under the impression that everyone knows how to sail :) The Tutorial covers basic controls so you can begin exploring and learn further. For newcomers, the Tutorial will appear during the first Challenge automatically and when passed will allow to continue into the Ch…
