Best sailing simulator/game??

[fatboy]

this may sound like a dumb question but can anyone tell me what is supposed to be the best sailing simulator. My dad is into it at the moment and with a simulator/game it would be a great way to practice.

as always your help will be much appreciated.

I can't help much, but I DO recall seeing a yatch sailing game/sim somewhere...I have no idea where...or who made it...but at least I'm pretty sure something like what you're looking for does exist.

So keep looking. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

There IS a sailing game out there someone. I downloaded one from www.ign.com (http://www.ign.com) in Dec, just checked and I can't find it there know. Can't remember the name either. If it comes back to me I'll let you know.

I've also seen a yachting program out there somewhere. Have been trying to find it, looked at Sierra, Interplay, & VR Sports sites with no luck. Did stumble across a boating BBS, though.

He might like that, or maybe a quick post there would turn something up.

FOUND ONE!!!!

There is a link to a 3MB download there too, suggests $25 to register the thing.

This looks like what you want.

I can also recommend www.avsim.com (http://www.avsim.com) for ANYONE interested in simulations, it is an excellent site. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
