Sailing fans, rejoice! Virtual Skipper is back with great improvements and new features galore!
Virtual Skipper, the ultimate regatta simulator, puts you at the helm of the world's best sailboats in 12 different seascapes, which host the largest and most prestigious international competitions! Master direction, wind flurries and calms, and select the right sails according to the weather conditions, and show the competition you have what it takes to win your first regatta!
In this new edition, Nadeo has focused on making the game as immersive and captivating as possible and the result is simply astounding! With a view to create highly realistic ocean environments, they have devoted great energy and talent to ocean modelling, from the ocean itself, its movement, swells and fury, down to the coastlines and crystal-clear waters where the seafloor suddenly comes to life.
In Virtual Skipper 4, the action also takes place up in the sky. Nadeo has created fully animated, 3D volumetric clouds that filter the game's superb lighting effects and added real-time day and night cycles that enhance the high level of realism of Virtual Skipper 4. Players will embark seaward to extraordinary foreign climes!
