RC simulator on PC
 

Hello everyone,

I'm new in RC and I'm wondering if a RC simulator for sailboats exists for IBM PC computers.

I know there is a lot of planes simulator that exists, but I never heard of a sailboat simulator.[:o]

Any suggestions??

Thank you

Casper

I downloaded the free demo Sail Sim" by the Sentec people last night and it runs good on my P IV 2.7. From what I've seen of the other sim, the graphics aren't quite as good but I think the simulator by the Sentec company may be the best for everyone with an "average" computer.

SAil Sim is a simulator, Virtual Skipper is more game oriented, and of course, a gamer machine is needed.
Both are playable online...

Wow, and a fine looking Seawind she is Wis. Leave it to you to pull of such a coup. Good work. What is the best way to control the boat with Sail Sim? I think you can use, keyboard, mouse, or joy stick? I haven't had time to look at it seriously and may be mistaken. jim
