See the article for a table comparing features of one generation previous and the current versions of VSK5.When you buy the full version it is best that you completely uninstall the free VSK5Online game and then download the full version for a clean install. See the above-mentioned table for detail as to why this is recommended.DownloadVSK 5 (pay) Follow the SHOP link at the game's official website:. alternate:VSK 5 Online (free) Follow the link at the above website and select a mirror server from which to download the 256MB VSK5Online setup file.Install You must install the game using an account with Administrator privileges.LaunchVSK5online (free) nag screenUse an administrator account to launch the game.

It is recommended that you play the game with administrator credentials. The game may seem to play from a so-called limited user account but when you eventually start downloading community developed boat models and boat skins then you will run into complications with folder security settings.

The optimum screen resolution is suggested based on your computer's display and video card. The game is best enjoyed in full screen mode. You can always press Alt+Enter to toggle between full screen mode and windowed mode.
This can be useful if you need to check on a rule of racing or consult this reference wiki.The gallery of images below shows each of the configuration screens with recommended default settings. Caution Pressing the button Restore defaults on either Display or Network advanced configuration pages will affect resolution and kbps settings made at the primary configuration page.See also: TechnicalFaqen.html in the installation subfolder c:Program FilesVsk5OnlineGameDataTranslationsen Key bindingsYou could learn the game default key bindings or you could learn from the experience of others and rebind some functions for an ergonomically pleasing game experience. Key bindings are adjusted after the game has launched. Select Settings then Inputs.
There are 3 pages of key bindings.This is very much a matter of personal preference. Many important camera angle and sail controls are bound by default to the numpad keys. Since laptop users do not have the benefit of easy access to those keys the suggested key bindings below may make the game more friendly if you are playing on a laptop.
Feel free to use these as an alternative default subject to your further customization.Suggested laptop key bindings (qwerty). Known bugs and fixesOf course there are dozens, if not hundreds, more bugs than this short list.
These are just a few 'show stopping' bugs which newcomers might encounter early on.My boat does not respondNot so much a bug but a common newbie trap. If you have pressed the Enter key then you'll find that the chat input box is active. While that box is active it makes sense that none of the key presses that would normally control rudder, sail trim, camera angle, protest, etc. Will be active. Simply press Enter to send whatever text is in the chat input window and exit chat mode or. Press Esc to abort the chat input and return to game modeWind arrow malfunctionsA couple of different malfunctions have been reported:.
Wind arrow may vanish completely and pressing the key (Left-Shift is the default binding) does not cause it to reappear. Double check that the race you are in does not have Simulation game-mode enabled. (There is no wind arrow in Sim mode.). Wind arrow may stay the same color even as you luff up and pass through head-to-wind. Try changing head-sail.
That has been known to remedy the situation.More often than not some misbehavior of the logical key state creeps in when you are using AutoHotkey. If you can temporarily live without your AHK script then try a few races without it and see if the symptom reappears. If it does not reappear then you have some AutoHotkey debugging to do and the detail for that is well beyond the scope of this article. See the article and pay close attention to the KeyWait statement. If the symptom does reappear then terminate as many background processes as you can get away with while playing VSK.My camera view keeps spinningOne event that may cause this is by opening the map or the menu whilst turning the camera. After closing the menu, the game continues as if you still have the button pressed.
This can be resolved by re-opening the menu, holding the same key while closing it, then releasing after it is closed.Other events that trigger this are not clear, however reported strategies for exiting that giddy situation include:. press whatever key you have bound to - this should work in all cases except a stuck key. Press and release left and right mouse buttons at the same time - common for laptops with a touch pad with 2 mouse buttons adjacent to it. Press any one of Esc, Ctrl, Alt - to see if it clears a stuck key.Graphic card issuesSome graphic cards (e.g. Intel, see ) require to be 'customised' to minimum, low, or medium quality preset (manually under 'Advanced' in the 'Configure' section).
This solved the very frustrating 'white sea' problem that I had.Game client modificationsThere are two broad classes of game modification. Those the designer intended for end users to take advantage of and those the designer did not. To the extent that the designer clearly intended users to create custom skins and to share them across the community of players; and since the installation of skins requires copying and pasting ZIP archives of.dds files into specific folders within the installation directory structure - it is reasonable to assume that any other.dds file in that directory tree is also 'fair game' for modification.Based on that premise, these are the currently known modifications available for VSK5. Manual installation is required and instructions are provided however no further support is provided. You are always wise to backup the orginal file in case you ever wish to revert to them and avoid having to reinstall the game client.
Instrument panel customizations. radar grids, rings and radial lines. digital readout background colors. compass graduation customizations. compass center-piece customizations. default skin for opponents whose skin has not yet been cached locally (a.k.a. Transparent opponents).
