I have the super-good looking ships, complete with wakes and smoke, working in FSX SE(tested in San Francisco Bay Orbx FTX NorCal Region).   Really, really added a lot to the flight seeing Chevron tankers and Hanjiin container ships making way though the bay.

 

However, I have no recreational boats appearing.  Any ideas on why?   I have boat traffic set at 10%.  And the default FSX trafficBoats.bgl file, should it be renamed?

 

Thanks,

Hi

You should increase your setting for leisure boat traffic - the ships & ferries setting regulates the larger ships organized on routes in the files provided by this project and the default ships and ferries.

 

PS... to everybody awaiting the new files... Still no chance of doing the upload due to extended business travelling - quite frustrating, but nothing to do about it...

Can't wait for great lakes shipping, it's going to be nice. It always bothered me to fly over Lake Michigan and never see a big ship. Are there going to be Coast guard ships in there as well? They have lots of ships in the great lakes. The cutters are very cool, I remember going on tours of them at the Grand Haven Coast guard festival as a kid.

Henrik, thanks so much for the labor of love and making it freely available. This is quality stuff.

 

I have a question. I would like to separate my aircraft and shipping traffic files. Can I put all your files in a folder and activate it in the library in the normal way?

Yes..there will be Coast Guard ships...American and Canadian. You will see the Canadian Coast Guard Cutter (stationed in Sarnia) sail from under the Blue Water Bridge...and out into Lake Huron. In fact, I believe I have a few shots of it somewhere in the Screen Shot Forum.    The ships are very, very detailed...you will appreciate them (I am a beta tester...)

Hello,

Any news for the full installer release ?

Thank you very much

Eric

Today is the day the new package 80 AI Ships and AI Traffic is released. Upload is ongoing as I write these lines.

 

And to Squatdrop... The full installer combining all ships in one package will only come some time out in the future. This is freeware, so you will have to live with the job of downloading and installing - it is still more simple than WOAI... For those who already installed the other packages the new installation can be done in 3-4 minutes...

That's very nice, no pb for install each package on my side !

Thanks for your great AI

Awesome news!! Thank you Henrik and team

The files are now uploaded so hopefully they should soon be available here on Avsim or on Simviation. Meanwhile a few screenshots from the area close to Vancouver Island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent!

 

TT.

Have a week off for 4th of July so it will be fun to add these.  So there is no full installer as first planned?  Ok, so I have a muddled install from the last attempt.  Can I just overwrite what I have or do I need to try to un-install first?

 

Thx,

 

Clutch

 

P.S. - just gotta add those latest screenshots are superb!  Such detailed AI ships.

For those who already installed the rest of the files installation of the new package is easy - the new files just have to be copied over and the overwrites some traffic.bgls and a sound file, but they are mostly an addition to the existing files.

 

Clutch, if you have a "muddled" installation I would probably uninstall and reinstall depending on what you mean with muddled - it is important that the files are installed in order as the newer traffic files are much better than the older files. The first routes I did had some collisions and ships making funny maneuvers when they passed each other with too little distance. The newer files also utilizes all the ships where the older files only uses a limited number of ships.
