AIG AI Manager should pick up 7.1.1 now as well

 Well, well, well, what do you know. Tested the new version to see what kind of approximation I get. Picked Gorch Fock again, because that was kind of off. Not only is this now shown as a big sailboat, it is the actual ship now happily cruising in the Irish Sea.

It is one of the small changes in V7.1 - she now appears as a MILITARY_OPS and not as a sailing ship. But based on that combined with flag and size the match module can identify her correctly.

No, Great Lakes is not included in 7.1 if you talk about routes. The altitude bug which prevented ship models from appearing correctly on water surfaces above ocean level still persists in MSFS 2020, but it is corrected by Asobo in MSFS 2024. This means that the same models can not be used for the two simulators. However, in live mode in MSFS 2024 you will have ships on the Great Lakes just like you actually will have ships on all water surfaces including rivers. Unfortunately the simulator match module does not include IMO or MMSI information so you might see "wrong" ship types on the Lakes or on rivers, however, I did already also observe some of the right ships including the Equinox class from Canadian company Algoma and also the Paul R.Tregurtha.

I should have mentioned I'm running MSFS2020. Thanks for the info - I will continue to keep Great Lakes active in addition to 7.1.

I did a small test on the West Coast of France today with GAIST in offline mode in MSFS 2024 and with the scene of Ouessant by YvesP6 installed LFEC Ouessant FS2024 for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS I got to the Jument lighthouse just as La Recouvrance passed

Hello @KL791

In version 7.1 the route folder is inside the main folder - you should have everything you need 😄

These files are in the scenery folder?

From little nav map i can see lot of ships but inside the game there no ship visible.

I can't get Little Navmap to show ships in MSFS 2024, are you using MSFS 2020?

No 2024 only

Yes, they are in the scenery folder. Try to exit the sim and start again in the same area - or depending on where you are dive down... if you look at fishing boats they will not be visible from much altitude.

I use it to spot ships with not too many problems in 2024 except that it can't follow when I jump from area to area to test traffic without exiting the sim.

Hmm, I wonder why I don't see any ships in LNM.

 

Edit: My bad, I had the "Show simulator AI ships" disabled... I can see them now, thanks.

Together with Manfred Siedler - alias Fischkopp - we just released a small extra route package for European waters. These are routes that Manfred did to expand the coverage of GAIST and which was previously hosted on his old domain simdocks. As that is now closed we decided to put them first as a separate add-on and from next major update as an integrated part of GAIST. The routes focus in particular on the Baltic Sea, the Elb, and the Eastern Mediterranean, but adds traffic broadly across European waters with around 4000 additional ship movements.

You can find the package here: GAIST Extra Routes for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

I know the modelmatching in FS2024 is currently, "interesting" but could you take another look at inland ships that you will find on rivers. I just took off from Cologne and there were so many small 3 masters on the Rhine that it looked like they were having a historical 17th Century festival. Looks nice but I', quite sure these are river tankers or cargo ships. 😉

As there is not in the data provided by MSFS any data saying inland boat, the only way we can currently trick the matching is by having long a narrow models as most inland vessels are long and narrow... Now sailing ships are usually also longer and narrower than most ocean going ships, so this is why you get three masters on the river... In principle we can create inland ships, but they will then also risk to appear on oceans unless we put them in a separate package, where you would then have to select package Inland-GAIST or Ocean-GAIST before your flights. The simple thing would be to have more specific ship type data flowing and be able to define in the sim.cfg, because the data does exist.
