Yes, you are absolutely right. We have partnered with fleetmon.com for AIS data and if a boat turns off AIS it will not be visible. Also very small boats do usually not have AIS signal, so GAIST ULTRA Real Time will not be optimal to fill marinas. Nor to display navy ships, which mostly do not reveal their positions either. For the later we will keep a bgl back up with preprogrammed Navy traffic and for marinas there is Mamu Design, though we might see some conflicts between the two, but we still have to check that out. But to fill the seas in a realistic way it will be excellent 😄 😄 😄 Check out below the diversity of ships anchored on this screenshot from Singapore.

luckily big vessels will leave AIS on in port, and just change the status to moored, at least I teach my officers to use this.

soon you can also check in the sim if they follow your advise 😄 

This looks fantastic.  I seem to recall that the advice was to leave ship AI traffic at 60%.  Was that/is that still the case?  Does that allow all ships to be in the sim?

For this scenery to work best keep it between 5 and 10%. Anything above is a waste.

Kielfjord just released an update to his scenery which complements the AI traffic with static vessels in the Northern German area. Kielfjords scenery now match the new version of Global AI Ship Traffic. You can find Kielfjord's scenery here: Scenery_Kielfjord_vessels_4.9.5 » Microsoft Flight Simulator

I have put the GAIST traffic files in my designated regions folder structure which is basically the same as the regions in GAIST.
Now, when I switch from region in Add-on Linker, the traffic files will be automatically activated.
This way, I do not have to activate them separately in their own GAIST folder.

literally run upstairs to the bridge too check 🙂

Not sure if wakes are working in V3? I haven't seen any yet crossing the channel a number of times? I'll keep looking

did you add ground wind? if the sea is flat with no winds wakes will be barely visible - I recomend adding a ground wind layer from 5-15 knots

Thanks to you and team for updating this fantastic mod. Already looking forward to the next release. Pictures looks crazy!

Saw a bunch of cruise ships in the Caribbean today coming up from St. Kitts northwest bound to San Juan. Lots of Carnival Cruise line but did not see any Royal Carribean mega- Oasis class yet!

If I am not mistaken she can be found on routes South of Sint Maarten... 😄

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is "Latam-routes"?

Is there a breakdown anywhere that shows one what is covered by each route?

I believe it stands for Latin-America routes

So because I'm lazy whats the downside to just activating all routes on performance?  I'm assuming the boats only load in if I'm in the area correct???
