A new free DLC pack called Harbor Pilot, created in "close cooperation" with the Dutch Pilot Association, is now available for Ship Simulator Extremes to celebrate the first anniversary of the release of VSTEP's seafaring simulation. Publisher Paradox Interactive explains players should download the DLC from the same digital distributor where they purchased the game originally "to avoid compatibility issues." Here's a bit on the pack: "In Harbor Pilot, players will experience the pressures and responsibilities of a Maritime Pilot, reflecting the real-life importance of the profession in maritime safety, and how the economic and environmental risks from today’s large sea vessels makes the role of the pilot truly essential. Join ships in need of a pilot, board them and take the helm as you assist and guide them safely into port. With millions of dollars under your control, do you have the versatility and ability to cope with the stress of a harbor pilot?" The list of key features follows.

• Advanced, state-of-the-art Pilot Tender vessel and Pilot Character
• Four realistic pilot missions.
• Learn how to board a ship using your tender vessel and then pilot a variety of vessels into dock.
• Added Pilot Boat functionality to the Mission Editor, allowing for creation and sharing of specific Pilot missions
