It has been a while since this VSN website has been updated...don't worry, we're still alive! A few new comments and resources have been added, along with new links, a poll and questions.

The Virtual Sailor Net YouTube Channel is still available, however there have been no new updates to that as yet. If anyone would like to create their own VSN tutorial then feel free to do so and let us know!

Also remember that you can always submit your own news, links, questions etc. However, we currently have a backlog of approximately 1000 articles/questions to look through so it might be best to wait a few days until those have been cleared up - most of which are spam anyway!

If you have any suggestions as to how the site could be improved, please feel free to let as know - it has been a very long time without any updates!

VSN has recently been experimenting with using video tutorials via YouTube to help explain things in a more interactive way. We have already put together one (very!) basic tutorial showing you how to open VS, just to see whether or not the idea would work. All video tutorials will be available in the knowledge base, and can be identified by the words [Video Tutorial] in brackets next to the tutorial title.

Our first video tutorial in the knowledge base can be found here.

We have also introduced a few more updates in different locations around the site. Firstly, there is now a "contact us" form which registered members will be able to use should they experience any problems with the site. Secondly, at the bottom of the home page we have added two new boxes: 'Recent Q&A' and 'Latest Published Articles' for you to quickly see the latest updates.

Also a reminder from Navigare's recent news article, you can visit the "Virtual Mediterranean Ferries" website by clicking here. Please note that this virtual company is independent of VSN.

A brand new virtual shipping company "Virtual Mediterranean Ferries" has been launched and will provide users with routes and assignments to navigate through VS sceneries. You will be able to operate VMF-listed vessels on routes which they run. There are plans to expand the freight and cruising divisions in the future.

Ilan has been able to fix the VS forums and so you should now be able to login without any problems, following the technical difficulties experienced on Saturday.
