2006 Ship Simulator Add-on with 2008 Game: Likely Incompatible

Unlikely to work. Add-ons are version-specific. A 2006 add-on targets the 2006 game engine/data structure. The 2008 release likely has:

• Updated engine / file formats.
• New ship/physics systems.
• Different directory layout.

To Verify

1. Check add-on readme for supported game version/build.
2. Search ShipSim.com forums or r/ShipSimulator for "2006 addon 2008 game".
3. Contact developer (VSTEP) — they may have a compatibility patch.

Workarounds: Install 2006 base game for the add-on, or find a 2008-compatible version/mod. Don't force it — corrupts saves.
