Make sure that AI traffic for ships and ferries in FSX settings is set to more than 5 %.

Thanks Patrick--allready done.

Hello to everyone on the site.

Thanks Henrik and the gang for one of the best add-ons for FSX for a long long time. I love it.

So that l can find the ships l have decompiled a lot of the BGL files and added the routes on to Google Earth.

I use G.E. as part of my navigation setup. I have used the recommended de-compiler, but of the thousand or so routes

about a hundred and twenty wont decompile. Any ideas. I have a list of the file names and numbers.

 

Regards

Hi Bigcav,

Most of the older routes you cannot decompile as I used too long names for the ships in the plan files; that gives a problem with the decompiling with AIBTC. Names in the plan files should be below 7 characters for AIBTC to be able to decompile.

Henrik

Hi Bigcav

 

I f you mange to decompile the rest, is there a chance that you will share the G:E file with us?

Hello Jorn L

 

Do you want a notepad file with the routes l have decompiled? Its just copy and paste into G.E.

 

bigcav

Yes that would be great. I'm sure others would like it too, so can you attach it to a reply,please?

Not sure how to add a doc on here. It is quite big.

Will post it on Simvation as a download, in a couple of days, if nobody objects

Hello

With some help, l have been able to  add all but five, of the thousand plus, routes to Google Earth.

I am now in the process of adding information about what shipping can be found on each route.

It will take a couple of weeks to complete it.

 

Regards

 

Bigcav

Are you making it as a kmz / kml file for Google Earth? Can we get a sneak peak (screenshot)?

Yes l am, but It will be a copy and paste format, same as my FSX Airfield locator series.

If you place your curser on one of the routes and left click it will give you a list of ships to be found on that route.

 

Have tried to post a screenshot but the site wont let me

Hey guys, it seems that I have run into an unusual problem... I am not seeing any ships. Well to be specific, I don't see them traveling on the waterways. I only see them at ports and that's it. I've recently installed all of the packages, set the traffic to 30% and fired up FSX, but after a few quick test flights I can't seem to find any ships travelling to their destinations. They just stay there in the ports. The only ships I see in the waterways are the small default leisure boats. It's very weird to find the English Channel empty...

As Always,

Chris

Hello Chris

Can you tell  us what files have you put where exactly. In the case of the routes, its the contents of the files, not the files themselves you put into scenery.

 

Bigcav

I patrol the the Channel in a Coastguard heli from Southampton to Manston on both the English and French sides. I can confirm a plethora of vessels and very nice, too!
