I dont get it, when you extract the .zip file, you end up with a single GAIST folder already containing everything. How come you could not "put" the VisualEffectsLibs in your folder? Did you manually move everything apart before adding it to the sim (via AddonLinker or directly). I wonder because I have issues with the newest version and I wonder if I am doing something extremely trivial just wrong...

I’m not sure how it happened, I compared the extracted file against what I had copied across  to addonlinker, and the VisualEffectsLibs was not in the Addonlinker.

I extract my files and store them, updating when required and then copy them across to my files in AddonLinker.

I have no idea how this occurred as you say it was all stored in one file?

Love the ship traffic so far ... amazing work!!!  This may be a big ask, but any chance of adding some BC Ferries to the mix?  They have different sizes of ferries that travel a bunch of routes between Vancouver Island and the mainland on the west coast of Canada.  I fly lots around that area (my home turf) and would be nice to see familiar ferries running back and forth across the Strait of Georgia.

Regards to the trouble some experience I tend to think at this point that it is not a real conflict issue, but more an overload issue with the amount of AI traffic. 

As you know I could not fly from a coastal airport with both Seafront and your software running together. I have just solved the problem (for me at least). I deleted the rolling cache and restarted it with a different size to make sure and was able to load up the flight from Shoreham with both companies software running.

Thanks a lot for returning with this hint. Very good news. Can you eventually share what it was before and now?

PS... Please don't call me and the team a company😉 we are just here for the fun and despite prices on everything from food to gasoline is going up GAIST remains free 😄

... I have actually a plan to do some of them, but it will not be right now.

Could you try this without the rolling cache enabled?

I have been able to load a flight from Shoreham with the rolling cache disabled or enabled since clearing it.

Out of interest is the range at which you can see the ships affected by the LOD settings?

I just had to unload the latest beta because MSFS would not start.  Anyone else have issues ?  The "released" version works fine.

Something very wierd is going on. When I first installed the new Gaist it worked beautifully. I was able to fly two flights, one from KLGB and another in English Channel to check out the new ships. 

When I tried to start a flight in Panama where I have the Orbx Panama Landmarks mod installed, the sim stopped loading. I could get to the Main Menu and set up a flight, but it started to freeze at the halfway point. When I tried to go back to KLGB it wasn't working there now either.

I loaded the sim in Safe Mode, it worked, so I cleaned everything out of Community and it worked. I put back Gaist and it worked for a couple flights until I tried putting back KLGB and Panama and it didn't load.

I took out Panama scenery, went back to KLGB and it didn't load there either.

Now, the only way sim works is with Gaist removed. It doesn't seem to matter which scenery I use.

Have you tried with the rolling cache deleted and switched off?

I'll clean it out and delete.

If I can help at all please let me know.  3D models are probably a bit beyond me, but doing livery/artwork stuff using photoshop-like tools I can handle.  I can also setup routes and schedules if there's some instructions on doing that.

Flying over to Rotterdam I witnessed what must be one of the worst potential maritime disasters of recent times. Albeit I saw it at a distance two ships appeared to collide. However the smaller ship did some kind of spinning pirouette and went happily on its way. 😀

I too have this issue.  Mod causes the sim to stop loading flight half way through.  It’s definitely the mod…I’ve narrowed it down to only this.  Disable it and flights load fine.  No rolling cache for me.
