Global AI Ship Traffic

[airernie 263]

Given the huge amount of AI Ships that Henrik has released is there a possibility that LM might one day include the ability to track ai ship traffic in addition to ai aircraft?

Might be a neat way to do some ship spotting during over the ocean flights.

Yeah that would be cool but sounds like an FPS nightmare.  Not sure littlenavmap could handle all the clutter.

All the data is there to be able to do ship traffic in real time.

Every ship (bar those that have it turned off to avoid piracy or because they have a covert military purpose!) should really have an AIS track.  Some clever person should be easily able to import that data into P3D with an appropriate ship type?

AI ships are already displayed. 

The tracks on the screenshot are not the AI tracks but the ferry lines from the OpenStreetMap. 

I'll publish a beta version very soon.

Now we are talking!!!!  THis looks great.... But why wasn't it ready when I was sweating with the route testing a week ago ;)
