I am happy and honestly very excited to announce that starting from today on SailSim version 5.60 and onward, we are fully integrated with Unreal Engine 5.5.4 and its latest libraries.

It took me a lot of effort and hard work to be able to afford a good Laptop to be able to use the latest software since SailSim was developed on a 15 year old 11 inch PC before today.

There were many changes done under the hood of the simulator to make it work on the latest engine so please... if you find any odd behavior or something that doesn't look right to you, let me know. I think i got 99% of the new stuff integrated but there is always that odd ball which one should be mindful of :)

Before you update, make sure your data is already the latest as far as XP, miles and other info goes since the new version uses a different way of interacting with saved data.

Restore (if you need to) your data to the latest info if you think it is best and then update SailSim. Once you are in the version 5.60 or later, Backup your data so it is saved in the new way.

As always, i am always working on SailSim and am trying to make it better. Feel free to post anything related to SailSim in the Community section of the shop as i monitor it along with other locations for other platforms. (If all else fails, there is always the E-mail option)

PS: Your Portal Avatar icons will update automatically the first time you login into the new version since the architecture of how icons and other data is saved/loaded in SailSim has changed (for the better).
