About the Game

Virtual Sailor NG in an open world sailing simulator, having accurate physics and marine dynamics.
This simulator allows you to sail where ever you wish, to explore and customize your boats and to train yourself on all forms of sailing.

Virtual Sailor NG was created by Ilan Papini, its first version released in July 2021.
It is based upon Vehicle Simulator and Virtual Sailor, previous simulators made by Ilan, and combines them into one newer, more advanced and flexible program.
The game has a much denser scenery than the previous games, more advanced physical simulation, and a totally flexible vehicle design.

Virtual Sailor NG includes a built in scenery and vehicle designer, making it much simpler for users to create and share content than ever before.
The simple yet powerful vehicle design makes Virtual Sailor NG an excellent learning tool and also a powerful preliminary design tool.
