PRESS RELEASE
Stentec Software proudly
presents …
the most realistic sailing simulator ever!
Sail Simulator 4.0 is the
latest version of the successful Sail Simulator range.
By using only the latest hard- and software capabilities, Stentec succeeded in developing
the most realistic sailing simulator ever. Sail Simulator 4.0 is not only a “fun to
play” game but is also the most ideal environment for sailing and navigation training on
the PC.
Options never seen before in sailing simulation games are used to make sailing on the PC
more realistic and fun.
In Sail Simulator 4.0 the user can sail in a self selected 3-D sailing area with dynamic
waves and realistic behaving boats. The unique Stentec Control Unit with tiller, sheet and
weight controls gives the user the idea of controlling a real boat. By connecting a force
feed back joystick it is even possible to feel the forces generated by the mainsheet and
rudder.
Over the internet or a network, it is possible to sail with several other boats in one
sailing area. This multiplayer option enables the user to create training situations or
organise regattas with competitors from all over the world.
By selecting different boats, sailing areas or adjusting the environmental settings, the
user can adapt the game on personal preferences and create a never boring game.
Realistic instruments like wind measurement system, log and GPS can be selected to give
the user the information that is normally needed aboard a ship. Those instruments enable
the user to see the result of actions and plan whatever needed to get the best possible
result in a training or regatta situation.
Sail Simulator 4.0 is capable of sending NMEA-data like GPS output. If the Sail Simulator
PC is connected with a laptop that runs a GPS-navigation program like WinGPS Pro, the user
can create an ideal training environment for practising GPS-navigational skills.
