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.

Was not aware of this utility, but indeed it looks like Stenin only works in FSX. Hopefully he will update it!

 

There is also the traffic tool in the SDK (FSX/P3D), of course. Not as elegant a utility as Stenin looks to be, but it helps finding the ships.

I wrote a faq on installing and using it here: https://www.flightsimnorway.com/addons/?funct=faq&action=artikel&cat=9&id=22

Hi Ole,

Thanks a lot for this. I did not have time to check it in the sim yet, but instruction looks good and easy. I could however only find it in Norwegian - will you add it in English??? WOuld be good.

 

To the rest of you - go and check out Ole's website www.flightsimnorway.com - it contains excellent freeware from Scandinavia from designers like Andrew Thomsen, Jan Nordberg, and Lennert Arvidsson. On top there are maps and screenshots and many other usefull stuff there.

Great - I don't know what I did wrong.

Great looking ships all over the world, the only thing I would like to see more of is some of the big luxury yachts cruing in the Greek, Italian, Spanish waters. I did see a lot of them in Corfu and Skiathos and would be fun to see some movement around there. I would think (but what do I know) they're easier to model, since they're very streamlined without too many masts, radars etc. sticking out. 

Another question I might have asked before, but is there any way we can programme the routes ourselves, with some kind of GUI or tell them to go from point A to B to C etc?

Hi Jørn,

The request for luxury yachts is noted... If I could just get one for myself it would be good Anyway it will probably first be in a future update as I aim to send out the new one before Christmas and adding more ships will delay it further...

Regards to your second question - you can easily assign the ships to routes yourself. To do it you only need three free programs - Google Earth; Notepad; and AIBTC available together with instructions here http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/boat/ However, you can not make A to B to C routes where the ship stops at B. Routes are always going back and forth between two end points, but they can be very long.

 

 

 

Below the Brazilian navy - almost all mayor surfaces units will be included in the next update - most of them with helipads.

Just read the documentation to AIBTC, and it looks like the end point have to be a ca 300m radius. Does that mean that it isn't possible to have a ship dock in a harbour, and stay there untill it's return trip?

 

BTW. What made you choose to make the Brazilian Navy?
