Global AI Ship Traffic FSX and P3D News and Support

[Ian S 214]

Hi Ian,

THanks

The images are done from the default ultralight, which I moved from FSX to P3D - it flies slow so you don't need to slew. The screenshot it self is done with snippingtool as it is easy to frame the picture with this very simple tool.

Cheers for the tip Henrik, I hadn't even thought of the ultralight.

For those who likes the ship package I will once again make a link to a german site, where Heiko using the ships from the packages has made a really fantastic AI traffic for a couple of German and Dutch harbours - really amazing:

It is in German only but you will enjoy the images

This is one amazing package and add-on! Thank you so much for your hard work on this. Beautiful! I wish this was for X-Plane!

Apparently it can be converted - at least the models - the traffic I don't know.

 

Below the Brazilian frigate F49 Rademaker nearing completion (It is supposed to be summer here, but the rain keeps pooring down so it is a good day for modeling).

KL791 the models can be converted? Really? Because there's already a plug-in available for X-Plane 10 called Sea Traffic, but the models are horrible compared to these.

 

I would love to use these models in X-Plane if possible. How would you convert it to X-Plane? It's use .obj format.

 

Here's the plug-in I'm referring to:

Here's an example of how this works in X-Plane 10:

Hmnnn... doesn't seem that simple... The FSX way actually seems more accurate and simple for once... However, I can confirm that a couple of people have succesfully converted some of my ship models - whether they put them on AI routes I do not know...

Beautiful! Is there a way we can go to View menu and select a ship to. see it as AI traffic to see where its going?

No, not without an addon program - there is a small payware program called Stenin around which has such a feature, but I only know that it works in FSX. You can however also just download Carl Vokes locator, which shows the routes and ships on each route in Google Earth http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=194728.

Hi, KL, are you including those new ships on a future patch, or a new installer?

Good work!

Cheers, Ed

It is still too early to say - probably it will be a patch + a new installer. The current complete package has been downloaded more than 10.000 times from the five sites where it is available, so I guess those would prefer a patch.

Could you tell me where that place is in your 1st screen shot, looks beautiful! What city is that in the background?

Rio.

The two previous posts are correct - it is my favorite destination in the sim Rio de Janeiro with a fantastic scenery from Paulo Ricardo.
