So beautiful!

This has to be one of the top 5 gifts that has ever been offered to the flightsim community. And it brings such a color and sense of immersion to the simulator!

Thank you for one more expansion on the great package of ships that we already have. May you continue to have ideas of new elements to this wonderful fleet!

Thanks :D I know you make good use of the ships for your own project - impressive images you posted in www.fs-piloten.de - For those who are not familiar Heiko has created an ultra intensive traffic with the ships for a couple of ports in Germany and Holland - http://www.fs-piloten.de/thread.php?threadid=1819&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=0&page=65

Hey Henrik. they are looking great.

I have done further testing off eastern China and Rio and all seems well. All effects seem in place and everything seems to be doing as it should.

cheers

Thank you very very much for this amazing work!!!

3 days to upload :D

Thanks for the encouragements and the continued interest in the project.

I'm soooo excited!!!

Always nice with new ai traffic on the seas, so looking forward to the release.

As I understand it, there's Heiko, Manfred and you who are very active in making new ships and traffic, but Man would I love for one of you to make a video tutorial on how to create our own routes with ships. I know about Manfred's written tutorial, BUT it's in german and even with google translate I don't get it. I prefer learning by seeing a video, so could one of you consider doing a youtube tutorial on it, PLEASE? :-) I love making my own ai aircraft traffic, and it would be so much fun to be able to make something similar with the ships.

Here's a link to AI Boat Traffic for Dummies (Like Me!) by Doug Linn at RTMM.

THat is a very excellent guide - I only have one small addition. In the section where it says:

...

AC#1 is your identifier

“Ferry” is the name YOU give the boat

...

it is possible to get confused.

In this case the name Ferry is used as the name. That can create a bit of confusion as there are also the two docking modes "Ferry" and "Cargo" - so I never use Ferry as a name in the plan but give individual names like  FF941 for the Thai frigate FF941 in the example below. Ferry in example here refers to the docking behaviour.

AC#1,FF941,5%,24Hr,07:14:57,18:34:51,74270,normal,ferry,19:15:47,06:35:41,74270,reverse,ferry

Finally always give a name with less than 6 characters in the plan file - you can compile with more than 6 characters but you can not decompile.

This is one thread that I have missed since the forum update got rid of the "threads I have posted in" section at the top of the page. So, it appears that an update is scheduled to be released this Saturday? Can I ask if it includes any additional ships around the UK and/or Ireland?
