This patch updates any version of Ship Simulator 2006 to v1.8. Changes are noted below.
Patch 1.8 replaces all previous versions and includes the following fixes and updates:
1. Optimized loading when switching between different harbours.
2. Damage that occurred at the start of some missions is eliminated.
3. Updates are made to the ship loading function, so it becomes more easily possible to integrate additional ships in the game, like the ones from the recently launched add-on pack. Also user-created ships can now be integrated in the game.
