SailSim - Sailing Simulator

September 17, 2024

A new achievement was added for those who really love SailSim and reach 20.000xp (Commander). 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 your time in case you hit something. Should make things a bit more competitive. - Update to newer iOS Libraries - Race Penalties - New Achievement (Commander) - Force Start (Race Lobby) - Flag translations

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 restart after altering flags - Game Controller implementation in multiple areas PS: If you are backing up your progress in the cloud, please SAVE your progress after this update BEFORE loading it again so the new data changes can rewrite the correct locations.

Flags! 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 the UI - Basic Challenge 3 and 4 had an issue which is now fixed

In this update everything related to Advertisements and their personalization has been sorted. Everything is explained and adjusted as per mandatory regulations which have been established for User Data Safety and Personalization. It is a complicated issue but it needed to be done. 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 adjustments were made to the UI ad some text labels fixed to be more presentable as they were left that way from the initial development of SailSim and i just never got around to fixing them. Additional Accessibility setting has been added for the "Camera Roll" and for new users this will be set to ENABLED as default. For existing users, if you notice that the camera is not rolling with the vessel, enable this feature in the settings. Game Controller adjustments were made to some menus so you can navigate them more easily. Portal Leader-Board would rewrite your score in case you reset your saved data and not leave the highest history. This is fixed now and no matter what happens, your highest achievements will remain and only increase based on your progress. There was an issue with displaying the MAP function correctly. On some devices it was shown incorrectly and this has been looked at. I am still looking into it but it should be better.

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. This update also 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 added a new settings menu for Accessibility. Subtitles being a fun one :) Unfortunately the Color Vision correction doesn't seem to work on mobile. Have more ideas about accessibility so if you have a suggestion, i really would like to hear and implement it. The more of us the merrier :)

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, racing menus and some unwanted behavior when you roll over your vessel or broach it. Some adjustments to the Racing UI for the Game Controller were made as it was a bit unfinished when i initially published it. The "Unlock" functions were not being saved in the backup system, which is also fixed now.

Racing is now a reality within SailSim. I am happy to announce yet another great addition to our simulator. Racing is now a part of our sailing experience along with many other improvements and additions. The brand new Racing mechanism is fully integrated into SailSim Portal and Cross-Play, making it a great and fun addition. All environments support Racing and although the courses are still basic, they do provide a competitive feel. With time, i think i won't resist in adding more fun ways to improve racing but for now, there is plenty to do as is. Besides racing, many things were worked upon in this update. Below is a list of everything i could remember. - New Achievements were added for the racing environment - New Sound-FX were added - New icons within the UI and functionality - The UI in general went through a large Clean-Up for out of place items - Additional rewards were implemented for the race winners - Portal stats are now integrated with racing and are displayed - Fixes were made in Portal as i went through the whole system - Fixes and additions were made in the Calendar system - Cross-Play had bugs which were sorted after a general overhaul - All levels went through a touch-up as i played through them a bit - A deeper implementation of the SailSim Ranking system was made - Adjustments to Game Pad controls were made - General code and graphical fixes were made to increase stability and performance I hope these updates make SailSim even more enjoyable for all. No one is perfect so naturally if you do find anything wrong, out of place or something that doesn't look right then please let me know. PS: To access the Racing functionality, Cross-Play must be enabled in your settings and you must be logged in through the available online gaming system of your operating system. These functions are also described within SailSim. (Racing is within the Portal menu)
