I tryed it, works fine and beautifull graphics. More complex than vsk to use but very realistic.

The problem is : nobody online

NOT TRUE.
At least one location added to last release is not fictional. I've connected SS5 via NMEA output to MaxSea navigational software. The position of the boat in the simulator was coresponding with position on the real world map including all details (placement of piers, placement of harbour entry, depths, etc,). I've been not testing Cabrera location but most probably it's accurate also. In terms of navigation SS5 is far beyond other sims - with NMEA output it gives a nice "real like" look.
