I can't swear it's the cause but I had repeated CTD's in P3D when using Global AI Ships.  I uninstalled it, no more CTD's.

It doesn't claim to be compatible with V5 as far as I can see.  https://www.flightsimnorway.com/addons/?funct=dl&pack=aishipsn

I use global ship traffic in P3Dv5.  Sometimes this ships sit on top of the water, rather than float they way they should, but from altitude it's not usually noticeable.  I install it using the add-on.xml method.

[Alti 68]

No troubles with the ships here. I use the same xml file as in V4.

Ships work fine for me. Make sure you have the latest version of his ships add-on -- version 2.0

My only problem, many ships don't show wake effects since I'm using it for P3Dv5.

Ditto here, been using v2 on P3Dv5 for months and no issues, also using the xml file.

You must check in the Global_AI_Ship_Traffic effect files that where there is "Ground Normal=1" you also have just after"Ground Decal=1".

A tedious work, but easier with the right tools like Notepad++...

This my xml for the Global Ships Traffic which work on v4.5 and v5hf2 - Must be tHenrik Nielsen V2 package.

Download free text editor Notepad++ open a new file and copy and paste the above replacing the paths with those in your PC, then save it as an eXtensible mark up file (xml) add-on.xml. - Create a folder and call it Global Ships or something of your choice, place the add-on file inside it and put it in your C:\Users\your username\Documents\Prepar3D v4 or 5 Add-ons folder. Increase ship traffic to minimum 25% but higher is better if you want to see a lot more traffic.

I checked my effect files and found "Ground Normal=1" and "Ground Decal=1" in every Wake section. There must be another reason why I'm missing so many wake effects. I have the current ai ships version and did never change anything.

[Nemo 1,305]

Sorry to bring this up again. I'm meanwhile with 5.1 but can still not see many wake effects. Could someone be so kind to fly with a small a/c @ 3000 ft South from KFHR. There should be enough ships. Do you see wake effects?

Thanks.

[gaab 111]

It is not really a GA flight low near KFRH, but you can see that's the wake effects are there 😉

Ok, I think I must improve my AA settings...
