This is an amazing little game.

The game starts out very simply, with just a few planes to control. As you guide them successfully to their destinations, the number of planes in your space increases, and so does your mental load.

A simple and effective interface lets you put your air traffic plan into action almost as quickly as you can think it (via any combination of keyboard, mouse, and touch).

Before long, you must be completely focused on managing the traffic to keep everything running smoothly and your score increasing.

I’m not easily impressed, but this is really good.

It has all the complexities of the real thing:

  • Standard Instrument Departures

  • Standard Terminal Arrivals

  • Parallel approaches

  • Airspace restrictions

  • Minimum Safe Altitudes

  • Separation criteria

  • Wake turbulence separation

  • Emergencies

And it’s all packed into a UI that is so easy to learn and simple to use, it actually makes the complex task of controlling air traffic look like child’s play.

Designers of RL ATC software, move over! Look at this title and explain to me why “the real thing” always looks so damn complicated, because this simulation here proves what an intuitive UI can look like.

Good fun so far, i played up to level 8 last night.. Kept me very entertained.

But i do have some issues…

What i think is currently wrong.

Collisions are a big issue.. Mostly with the tools, but it’s safe to say collisions are “twitchy” at best through out. The way the tools snap to your hand and face the right direction causes problems with saws or hammers suddenly spinning through a desk, knocking all of your cut bits of wood AND your off cuts across the room, mixing them all together.

What i think would work better for that, is relative positioning. The hammer is vertical in the rack.. If your hand is 90 degrees to the hammer (correct position) then when you grab it, its still 90 degrees to the hammer, but if you grab it with your hand tilted down, so its now only 30 degrees, rather than the hammer jumping another 60 degrees to snap into the correct position, it stays grabbed at 30 degrees to your hand. Same kind of issue with picking up the saw off the workbench, relative positioning would probably solve that too.

Great Lakes Simulator

Great Lakes Simulator

Great Lakes Simulator… Drive 1:1 Scale Lake Freighters On The World Famous Great Lakes!

Live your dream of driving legendary lake freighters on The Great Lakes with this revolutionary new PC simulator that will take you to another level! Great Lakes Simulator puts you at the helm of a massive lake freighter underway on the Great Lakes. Head downbound from Lake Superior thru Whitefish Bay and the St. Mary’s River to Lake Huron and back in a 1:1 scale re-creation of the most famous fresh-water waterway in the world.. The Great Lakes.

Simulating a journey thru the Great Lakes allows you to gain an understanding of what to expect on the real journey. After a journey through Great Lakes Simulator you will be graced with the knowledge a seasoned mariner would need in order to approach such a journey with confidence. Great Lakes Simulator can accurately teach you the designated shipping lanes, dredged channels, anchorages and port locations, and the accurate locations of range lights, buoys, and lighthouses. You can set sail anytime you like.

A LITTLE HISTORY

The Great Lakes is a system of giant freshwater seas along the U.S. and Canada border connected by both natural and artificial channels and huge locks which enable navigation by large ships. The Soo Locks between Lake Huron and Lake Superior and dredged channels in the St. Mary’s River, the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River between Lake Huron and Lake Erie allow passage of huge lake freighters most years from late Spring through early Winter.

The Great Lakes are prone to sudden and severe storms, in particular in the autumn, from late October until early December. Thousands of ships have met their end on the lakes. The first ship to sail the Great Lakes, and the first ship to sink in the lakes, was Le Griffon. Caught in a 1679 storm while trading furs between Green Bay and Michilimacinac, she was lost with all hands aboard. The largest freighter ever wrecked on the lakes is the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank near Whitefish Point in a violent storm on its last run of the 1975 season, taking all 29 aboard to the bottom of Lake Superior.

The greatest concentration of shipwrecks lies near Thunder Bay, Michigan, beneath Lake Huron, near the point where eastbound and westbound shipping lanes converge. The Lake Superior shipwreck coast from Grand Marais, Michigan to Whitefish Point is known as the “Graveyard of the Great Lakes.” More vessels have been lost in the Whitefish Point area than any other part of Lake Superior. The Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve serves as an underwater museum to protect the many shipwrecks in this area. In Great Lakes Simulator, you will travel through both of these dangerous zones.

THE JOURNEY

Pilot a massive lake freighter downbound from Duluth, Minnesota across Lake Superior, down into Whitefish Bay, and into the St. Mary’s River. Not far downriver you will pass through the Soo Locks which will lower your ship 22 feet to the level of Lake Huron. A few miles past the locks the river makes a sharp right turn into a narrow dredged channel comprised of a number of ranges marked by special range lights set out in pairs to keep a ship in the center of the channel. Each set of range lights has a name which you can toggle onto the display using the F6 key. At Ninemile Point Light, the upbound and downbound channels split and follow separate paths around Neebish Island coming back together just before Hay Point.

Along the way, the Oak Ridge Range Lights and the Rock Cut and Moon Island Leading Lights guide your ship through some of the tightest and narrowest parts of all of the Great Lakes. Soon the lake widens before taking you past the town of Detour, Michigan and into Lake Huron. As Lake Huron opens up in front of you, an empty horizon reappears and suddenly you are back in the middle of the open sea. Travel downbound thru Lake Huron past Presque Isle, Thunder Bay, and Harbor Beach before arriving in Port Huron, your destination for a downbound journey. The upbound journey from Port Huron to Duluth is just as intense.

Great Lakes Simulator was built to accurately simulate the distances and times involved in transiting the lakes. At over 750 miles end-to-end, one complete round-trip journey will take almost 100 hours to complete. All of the included journeys total well over 500 hours, and advanced users can add their own mods and create their own journeys for a fully-customized world and an infinite combination of possibilities!

THE LIGHTHOUSES

The highlight of any journey thru the Great Lakes is the spectacular light show put on by the seemingly endless array of lighthouses and red, white, green, and yellow range lights, buoys, beacons, and light towers. Marvel as you sail past some of the most legendary lighthouses of the lakes including Detour Reef, Whitefish Bay Light Station, Manitou Island, Gull Island, the New Presque Isle Light, Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, and the Thunder Bay Light. And depend on the range lights and buoys of the St. Mary’s River as they guide your ship through the narrow dredged channels.

Nautical charts and Digital Elevation Model data were utilized to accurately recreate this dream world to an unbelievable level. Accurate latitudes, longitudes, elevations, and distances make this one of the most prototypical 1:1 scale digital environments possible. Many have pondered life aboard a Great Lakes freighter - this is your chance to simulate the journeys you would take in real time and in full scale. Sixteen miles an hour has never felt so sweet.

A SPECTACULAR PC SIMULATOR

Take the long approach and spend some time in open sea as you look for land and lights. Choose your time of day. Transit the lakes at night using nothing but the lights. Accelerate time or immerse yourself in a real-time simulation of a days-long transit and dozens of hours at open sea. Journey thru blinding snow and intense thunderstorms. Drive a massive cargo ship to real destinations. Meet ships along the way and take care to avoid collisions. Watch for traffic and lighthouses or watch the sun rise and set over Lake Huron and Lake Superior. With buttery-smooth physics, rich vivid graphics, and ultra-realistic atmosphere and lighting, Great Lakes Simulator will set the standard for PC simulator games for years to come.

Own one of the most famous and important waterways in the world.. own the Great Lakes!.. Add Great Lakes Simulator to your Steam wishlist today and set sail on launch day, December 15th. And be sure to tell all of your friends that are fans of Great Lakes shipping about Great Lakes Simulator. Thanks for your support!

I’ve played all the DTG Fishing Simulators and have over 1000 hours on Fishing Sim World: Pro Tour. Here’s my review on the latest in the series. Bassmaster Fishing 2022. This review includes both a thumbs up and thumbs down section at the end. These reflect my overall view of the game. I will edit/update this review as new content/patches are rolled out.

Having read some of the reviews already posted about this game, I would like to address a couple of things. At the time of writing this review I can confirm the Deluxe Edition items on the Steam version are now working. DTG Fishing released a patch a day or so ago so this issue has been resolved. You may need to restart the game and the Steam Client in order for these items to appear in game.

Suez Canal Simulator

Suez Canal Simulator

A lot has been improved just on the main screen before entering the ship. In the top right at the main menu there is a tab marked “Options”. In there are simple to understand controls which I recommend you write down on paper, a note file if you have a 2nd screen or something.. Also in options is a briefing or some such name. That tells you what you are responsible for doing and what you are not.

This is not for everyone. You need to not be after an exciting game with action. It is more for seeing what it is like on the canal. You do speed up and slow down, but, you don’t steer left and right. That is auto piloted.

Real player with 6.6 hrs in game

Do not buy! Ugly main menu background, this game is horrible and has rigid gameplay, graphics are from another century. It’s uninteresting. Lack of action, the product seriously lacks work. Not worth more than 1$.

The dev even blocked me to not tell what I was thinking about his “simulator”

I highly recommend this game because its not a game, it is an educational simulation, this game can teach you not everything, but.. but… a very large amount real life things on how an engine works, specifically the Mazda mx5 Miata engine, the parts in this game, like the engine, the oil brands+ other fluids, and engine kits, are for the most part are all real parts and real brands, this game I would especially would recommend this game to students who are in/or want to be in autos class. again, it wont teach you everything but I personally say it is close enough, closer than any other thing out there, I have experience in autos class and I have worked on the same engine that is in this game, and it is pretty spot on. and due to COVID-19, I think this would give a lot of students mainly speeking for high schoolers, giving them a chance to still have a way to have some hand on experience for those who cant go to school because of COVID-19. and I say “hands on” because it also can work with VR as well as without VR. VR is not required, but if you got a pair, give it a wack. lastly I want to end this review with a simple request to the developers. before the first major update, the was a feature that has now been remove, and I would strongly suggest that is was brought back. the feature was all the torquing instructions that shows a picture diagram with torquing information on each part that you are assembling. that was a very important part of the game that made it educational. if you could please bring that back to the game, like maybe make another item to add to the game like a torquing spec book, something that I can place next to the radio and open and flip pages to each section that I am working on, I would like to turn the page to find each diagram for whatever I am trying to put together. and thank you for taking the time to read this far down, there is much more in this game that I could not include every detail, this game can teach you not only engines, but keeping your shop clean and organized, and again much more. thank you and stay safe,

Bought this just over a year ago when it went into early access. After hitting just over 100 hours and with no sign of losing interest I thought I’d post this review. Full disclosure - I play this in desktop mode, not VR so can’t comment on the VR experience.

I’m not a mechanic IRL but I am interested in cars and learning about how things work. This is by far the best mechanic “simulator” that I’ve ever found.

At time of writing the progression is straightforward. You’re given a few jobs to choose from (change engine oil, replace spark plugs) for customers and if you complete the job successfully you get some cash and XP…the usual unlock through progression idea. Some jobs can take hours (rebuild the bottom half of the engine) where you have to drain oil and coolant, remove the transmission, extract the engine using the crane, put it on the engine stand…you get the idea. It’s very involved but because of that incredibly rewarding.

I’m only writing this review to spread a little light on the situation, and I only recommend this game to fish tank enthusiasts.

The game did have a semi-long break without updates but they are still coming through. The game still does have some problems but in my honest opinion, they’re slowly being addressed.

This game is an aquarium SIMULATOR - focusing more on realism and less on fun - so if you haven’t already got an interest in tropical, freshwater or marine tanks irl then you may want to keep scrolling the store page.
