Patch 1.6 for Ship Simulator 2006 released

HAARLEM-The Netherlands- October 13th 2006 -Publisher Lighthouse Interactive and Dutch developer VSTEP today released a new patch that upgrades their revolutionary 'Ship Simulator 2006' to version 1.6

The new upload system is much more stable and less sensitive to firewalls and routers, while the new ship dynamics are a big enhancement in ship movement realism - with all ships getting a completely revised behaviour."
