Our take on Virtual Sailor NG
Its defining feature is the combination of open-water sailing with built-in tools for creating both scenery and vehicles.
What is Virtual Sailor NG?
Virtual Sailor NG is an open-world sailing simulator focused on boating, exploration, and marine dynamics.
Players can sail freely, experiment with different boats, and practice various forms of sailing. The game includes tools for building scenery and designing vehicles, while existing modifications and add-ons provide additional content. Its vehicle system supports flexible customization for both creative experiments and preliminary design work. The simulator combines elements from Vehicle Simulator and Virtual Sailor, with denser scenery and a more advanced physical simulation than those earlier programs. Users can also create and share their own scenery and vehicle content through the built-in designers.
