    Hello Captain Anthony96 and welcome, sry this will not be possible with the first release of the sim. Maybe, with an later release. The current maximum size of an scenery is around 100x100km.

    Thank you.

    Hi, Sry, the K130 class Corvette will not be included during the Alpha or Beta phase. For the implementation of submarines, of course, you will see subs in the future of the sim. Basic AI traffic is done. I hope I have it ready for the next release. But I think, real based traffic is a point for the future.

    Hi Captains, after a few weeks full of work on the sim. And a lot of new features for #AcrosstheSeas such as - better clouds and weather, - FFT waves (new Crest feature), - controller axis support, - native DX12 support, - reworked UI and the first preview features like NVidia's DLSS and Raytracing. Regards Marko

    Hi. Yes of course, this project is still under active development. It's still in alpha stage. But the sim has made a lot of changes like native support of DirectX12, Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline. The next version is currently delayed, but I plan to release the next version in June.

    Hello and Welcome Captain Anthony, You're right, sry at the moment it is not possible to add your own ships to the sim. This feature will be not included during the free alpha and beta phase. And a new version is also on the way. ;) Regards Marko

    New Alpha update is coming soon for Across the Seas.

    Hello and welcome here, Thank you very much for your kind of words. :) Yes, Unity offers a great potential for better graphics and model handling for the sim. Currently I'm working on a bigger update. Especially for the weather engine and the graphics overall. In the last version I switched to Unity's new High Definition Render Pipeline. This Render Pipeline would also offer new features like Ray-tracing in the future and has a great looking lighting model. Regards Marko

    Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Finnstar. Currently I have no plans to release the Finnstar for VSF. She will be integrated in my own sim "Across the Seas". Marko

    Hi Captains, For all who want to test Across the Seas - Unity3d based Ship Simulation, I have decided to release a alpha version. So I can get more feedback about the sim and especially about the performance. I will update this version during the development. Currently I have implemented the Dover Calais area. Most things in Calais are done and Dover is currently under development. Cape Town is in as a preview and also the shipyard scene. For the watercraft's, not all have currently a bridge interior or working instruments. Also features like the anchoring or mooring systems are not final and also in active development. And an important thing is are the physics, I changed a lot things here in the last weeks. So be aware of some strange behavior , I need to adjust the physics for the different watercraft's. Feel free to post shots of the sim or give feedback or suggestions here. Across the Seas - Alpha What is possible or not Test sails in Dover / Calais area Cape Town and a virtual shipyard is implemented as a preview Weather and Time of Day is ready No AI traffic or multiplayer No missions or career mode Minimap system needs a bit more details Mooring and anchoring are not ready Know Issues Watercraft physics need more adjustments Strange physics in some cases of higher sea states Not all watercraft's have interiors at the moment Not all watercraft's have lights Shallow water areas need a bit more work Harbor areas do not have colliders at the moment Mooring physics are not ready New FPS mode is currently in internal testing phase Download link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiiALzvCn_FFiZ09fMR6S0FgTHAwGg?e=BkbURZ Regards Marko

    Performance is not that bad. Calais with surrounded ~70k buildings and a high visibility and around 90-100 fps on my notebook setup. Shallow waters also implemented for harbor areas. No more high waves in harbors. Early morning in Calais. Random shots.
