These are both newer games.

Ship simulator is the first commercial release for a dutch company called VSTEP.

It costs about $40 American dollars.

It has many boats and systems. The waves are realistic with a realistic ship movement.

There are still many things to improve the game but it is just starting.

There official site is at www.shipsim.com

Rigs Of Rods -
This is a free open source game. The first game with a physics engine that works well.

The physics are described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI926O4qOiw

The main way it works if you don't watch that video is that if too much pressure is on a rod it will deform.

The trucks in the game are made of hundreds of rods.
