Been simming for more than 40 years starting with my first Cardboard box with duct tape mods, years later after failing to get a Chrysler Newport to fly the way I thought it should I upgraded to FS4 with a computer and on and on...thru FS9 with very many Add-ons and have tried my own hand at aircraft, objects and Photorealistic scenery etc

>sea traffic, love it!Is there traffic on the high seas? Tankers and Cargo ships commuting between continents for example? That would be great, but I fear that water traffic is restricted to coasts and bays only. Oh, and if the latter is the fact: is there shore traffic at certain selected places only or everywhere?

Just to be clear, I don't have the "beta", I have the Demo.Sorry if I confused anyone.

Oh, and if the latter is the fact: is there shore>traffic at certain selected places only or everywhere?The water traffic IS oceanic, apparently the ships ply routes all the way across. At least I'm pretty sure that's what we were told some time ago. Just like AI aircraft.RhettAMD 3700+, eVGA 7800GT 256, ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, etc. etc.

That may explain your reaction to the colors. The Caribbean islands feature very vibrant colors on buildings and of course the ocean is very blue. You'll find most of the rest of the world quite a bit more subtle.(And yes, there is port-to-port ocean traffic.)

That's awesome! Finally some life on the oceans. I was thinking how great it would be ever since I saw that ocean liner a few miles off the shore of Miami in FS9.

But don't cars in real life drive at 100 kph on the freeway? Unless it refers to mph but I remember someone saying that it was set at kph.James
