* Vsk Local Net

Mike from New-York initiated a way to use VSK even if the Ubisoft server gets down and so insured a future to the sailing simulator. Thank to him.

Here explanations and tools are re-given from its WEB site https://vsklocalnet.godaddysites.com/.

Download and installation of free third party software is required. A simple user interface is included and no router configuration is needed at all.

The Virtual Regatta Network enables members to join regattas or host their own regattas with other members at any time. You will be able to host your own races if you could not on the default game server. Hosting is also possible with a wireless connection using public Wifi.

There is no registration required to join and use the Virtual Regatta Network.

Step 1 - Download Radmin VPN software. No registration is required,.. https://www.radmin-vpn.com/

Step 2 - After you install and launch the application, click on "Network" / "Private Network", Then click on "Join an Existing Network",..

Step 3 - Enter network name "Virtual Regatta Network (VSK5)" as seen below and leave the password blank if not known. Then click "Join"

Your connection may have to be approved by an administrator for full access, so please allow up to 24 hours for administrative approval. An instant access password can be obtained by registering with the VRNetwork Yacht Club Web Site before connecting or to reconnect to the network. The password bypasses the administrative approval process. After connecting you will see your computer name as well as your auto assigned virtual IP address on the top of the window. You will see the same information for other members that are already connected in the bottom of the window. All online members will have a green or yellow light to the left of their name and all offline members will have no light to the left of their name. You can change your computer name so it is more recognizable to you as well as other players by right clicking on your name. You will see a dropdown menu appear. Then click on "Change Name". When finished simply press Enter on your keyboard or close the dropdown menu by clicking on your name again. It is suggested that you log off Radmin VPN when not using by clicking on the power button. When you want to join again simply click on the power button once more.

If needed you can download the free demo version of Virtual Skipper 5 (Vsk5Online) : ( link )

Now that you are connected to the Virtual Regatta Network you will want to host or join a regatta with Virtual Skipper 5. First launch VSK5

Then navigate to the multiplayer menu

Then navigate to "Local Network"

From here you can join a regatta that is already being hosted by a VRN member or create one for other VRN members to join

When you are familiar with using Radmin VPN software it is possible for you to create your own free network, but The Virtual Regatta Network was created in the intention of providing a central location for all VSK5 players to connect and enjoy.
