Henrik Nielsen's Global AI Ship Traffic for MSFS

[Clutch Cargo 384]

I took a visit over to Singapore having just purchased the scenery enhancement for there (really nice and a good value being on sale), and I saw dozens of ships.  But none were moving and no wakes?  Felt like the port was on strike, ha!  Thought I read that was an issue with MSFS having no wakes?

Wakes (well, water effects) are supposed to be coming in sim update 5 on the 27th of July.

What is the impact on frame rates in MSFS?  I have this in P3D but not yet in MSFS.

None that I can detect.

Where does it say to keep the ship percentage to 6% or nothing will show expect default boats

From the About this file on flightsim.to: Ensure you traffic settings for Ships and Ferries is 5% or more. All ships will appear at 5% so no need to increase to 100% unless you want to see repetition of the default ships.

The road ahead after the latest Simupdate...

First up will be a small extension with native models some time in August... It will be a new download which can be used together or without the Global AI Ship Traffic main package, However apart from adding new ships it will also come with effects attached 😃

In order to move the more than 1300 models of Global AI Ship Traffic to native format it is as previously mentioned a time consuming process, and I can't mix native and non native models in one package, so I either I wait until all are upgraded and relaunch or I create a new native package and start expanding that one...

I have chosen the later, so what will happen is that little by little the extension which will be launched in August will be upgraded receiving sister ships of those included in the main package but converted to native format and with effects added. Once all models are converted the Global AI Ship Traffic will be relaunched in native format - and there will be somewhere well above 2000 different ships in the package...

To start up what will be launched in August will be:

* 5 models of Staten Islands ferries Alice Austen, John A. Noble, SSG Michael H.Ollis, Dorothy Day, and Sandy Ground

* A number of other small passenger ferries and tugs for New York

* 3 new Stena Line ferries for the Irish Sea between UK and Ireland

* 2 new Brittany Ferries models serving routes between France, Spain and the UK

* The newest DFDS ferry Cote d'Opale serving Dover-Calais

* 5-6 new LNG carriers

* A couple of new yachts

* A large number of container ships, bulk carriers and other ships carried over from Global AI Ship Traffic - these will be sister ships put on new routes.

* Finally I am discussing a number of new models with some of the long term partners of Global AI Ship Traffic 😄

Thanks so much for the continued work on this!

A number of add-ons have been launched in recent months using ships from the Global AI Ship Traffic - all of the below with proper authorization and collaboration to avoid that static and AI ships collide.

The most recent are the rigs in the petrol fields in the Santos basin southeast of Rio de Janeiro by Rodrigo Moraes

Another nice one is Kielfjords ship addition to the Kieler Canal, Kiel harbor and the Kieler Förde

And FlyBoyRez's Singapore Coastline

Thanks for the updates! I am looking forward to this addon very much! 🙂 This is an add-on I cannot live without. I appreciate your hard work that you're putting into this.

I assume it's compatible with SU5?

It's working fine for me.

Same here.   Maybe a bit of lag the first time it runs,  when the sim builds the "GAIST_MSFS_V1_CVT_" folder and it's contents.

As far as I can tell,  CVT folders are created by the sim when it runs legacy native mods (mods built prior to fs2020).

Sir,

will there be landable helipads on some ships?
