Does anyone know of a sailing simulator that allows one to sail a Clipper Ship or a Frigate? :wiggle: I have AOSII, but, would like to sail my ships from the quarter deck as God intended. Thanks.

Why no, I wasn't aware. Thanks Collin. Hope they got some square riggers in there.

well i guess those paddle wheels would be hard to model. i just think an ACW naval simulator would be awesome....but maybe i'm the only one....blockade runners, submarines, mine layers, cruisers, ironclads, heck there was even a battle between Texas cavalry and gunboats.

didn't mean to hi-jack the thread away from frigates but there were a few of those in the Civil War too..

Oh man,yeah.:jump: Now that would be something. The CSS Hunley would be cool. Any David rammer too. And that famous steam frigate action with the Kearsarge and Alabama. Well...one can only hope.
