For some reason none of my v070 races will let me use the vo70 somehow i don't have the right version? But they all came in the same.exe pack from vsk austrailia?
Also, for some reason in custom races i can no longer change details like weather/boats/etc beforehand now that i have installed the patch. There is a new 'patch' that was introduced by Nadeo just last week. This patch takes the game from America's Cup 32 into VSK5. If you paid for the AC32 the patch is free and your log on key will be good for one year from your date of your first log on with the patch. The new game is better in many ways than AC32 was.
The group sailing with any regularity is fun and most know the rules. It's a pretty good value at 45 bucks for a year. There are many clubs you can also join and have better racing almost every day of the week. So now they are giving away the whole game, not a demo version, for free?
At the same time it seems you can buy it off their site. I think I am missing something or what? Buy it here: Download it free here: wtf? The Free version comes with a waiting screen when you launch the game. The more you play, the longer the screen will be, but at the end the game stays free.
To remove that screen you can unlock the game so no more waiting time. I don't think they are giving away the whole game. There are still some things blocked (like the editor, which would allow for additions of new classes of yachts). Is the patch out there somewhere for the water whiteneing (I think I also pushed esc and it never came back)?
I really want to give this game a go before I buy it. Thanks for the help. Who else plays this from SA? If there are enough people, we should start a little SA VSK5 club. I just started.name's X-X-X.kinda cool but kinda boring if not online fleet racing, the solo match racing is pathetic, the bots sail like crap and do dumb things. Any way to sail a fleet race in solo mode? Also where does one get cool boats like a VO70, RC44 and the like?
I've looked online but found nada. Yeah, I had the same question. The fleet racing in solo mode would be cool. Also, what is the good upwind sailing angle for the offshore boat?
I can't seem to make it go. Can we add new boats in the free version?
I like the idea of the moths and RC44's as well as the Volvo's. Navy: if you're using the free version, replace any reference of '32ndAmericasCup' with 'VSK5Online' and it should work.
And yes, there are about 2 dozen addon boats out there, including the RC44, VO70, foiler Moth, Open 5.70, Swan 45, AC90 (concept) etc. And they all work on the free game. Again, just replace 32nd America's Cup' in the install path with 'VSK5Online' and it should work fine. The FWYC site has a pretty complete listing. Also, if you're interested at all in high-quality fleet racing I'd suggest joining a club. They organize regular scored series as well as special regattas (like 'mirror events' of real world races) and also provide a framework for handling protests, etc.

Clubs that race in the North American timezone include, and FWYC, with AYC probably the most active for casual racing (VSK-USA generally provides high quality racing in a smaller but very deep fleet - also is home to the defending team racing world champions). There are also worldwide clubs that organize match and team racing worldwide (including their respective world championships): and the International Team Racing and Beer Drinking YC (or ). If you're having trouble running VSK on your machine I'd suggest tinkering with the graphics settings. I have a midrange 2006 Dell laptop that runs VSK fine.
