Captain of the Queens, and its accompanying Queens Time Trials have both been updated to version 4.2 dated 3 August, 2010, that is Windows 7 and VISTA compatible and includes a new harbor, Southampton, UK, and the new ships, the Queen Victoria launched in 2007 and Queen Elizabeth scheduled to enter service in the Fall of 2010. It also fully implements the Captains' Log function, maximum realism and the new Open Sea steering mode. As with most software, you may not notice many of the more subtle improvements such as smoother graphics and improved collision detection. Since its first version 1.0 we have also added the orginal Queen Mary (now a hotel in Long Beach) to the package, Nawiliwili, Hawai`i and Long Beach, CA as harbors and photos from the "Queens' Rendezvous" (Feb, 2006) when QM2 entered Long Beach to rendezvous with QM. Discussions with crew on the QM2 have also led to increased realism of all ships.
The 4.2 upgrade will fix the F! help problem for most users. It also includes a special program to access the help file without using the F1 function that some installations will not allow. It will place an icon (
 ) on your dekstop to click to get help.
After downloading the file, CQUpgrade1Setup.exe, CQUpgrade2Setup.exe or CQUpgrade3Setup.exe, find the file on your hard drive and run it. It will automatically install the updates. DO NOT Uninstall the older version. The update must install over the older version. After the installation, you can save some disk space by deleting the folder, "Program Files/Windward Technology/Captain of the Queens/ships".
If you do not own Captain of the Queens, the upgrade will not operate so don't bother with the download. Instead you might purchase Captain of the Queens.
If you currently have version 1, you should download the full upgrade, CQUpgrade1Setup.exe.
If you currently have version 2 through 3.1, you can download CQUpgrade2Setup.exe and if you are running version 3.2 or higher, download CQUpgrade3Setup.exe.
