For those of us who are beta testing, will we need to redownload the latest version? Or is the beta going to be the same as the public release version? 

These ships look very good!

You will have double up of ships already compared to the version you tested 😄


The screenshot of MSC Zoe is actually from the Elb 😃 However, the real Elb traffic will be provided after the next World Update when one of the long time team members Manfred Siedler releases his Hamburg Harbor scenery. We have coordinated our projects so they work together.

It's out folks!!!!

The V2 of Global AI Ship Traffic is a quick fix to resolve issues related to SU5 by recompiling all models in native MSFS gltf format with PBR textures. For this reason the number of models is reduced compared to the V1, but we expect to get all ships updated before mid September 2021. Once they are all in native format we will start adding effects and reanimating the models.

The Global AI Ship Traffic Project provides AI ship traffic accross the globe with realistic models of real life ships of all types from fishing boats to cruise ships, from tugs to tankers, container ships, and bulk carriers, from patrol boats to submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers. Once fully updated more than 1400 models are placed on routes all over the world according to what is realistic for each region. More than a hundred ferry routes are covered with their specific ferries  and you will find naval exercises with Navy ships from most regions. Watch a full scale NATO landing excercise on the West Coast of the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark or the Brazilian or Chinese navies doing the same in their respective areas. Watch the departure of a Tall Ship race from Saint Malo, Kiel or Sandefjord or a round the world sail race departing from Gothenburg... Go looking for Maersk Alabama in the exact spot she was attacked by pirates of the coast of Somalia as later depicted in the movie Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks. More than 24.000 ship movements ensure that the sea is no longer empty. Add to that killer whales, humpback whales, and right whales....

Models and textures by Erwin Welker, Jean-Pierre Fillion, Knud Kristoffersen, Dexter, Milton Shupe, Manfred Siedler, Bernardo Barroso, Paul Donnelly, Finn Kristoffer, Didier ‘‘Lagaffe’’ Puentes, Andrew Thomsen, Robystar, Antonio Diaz, Sebastien Viale, Alberto Garcia, Cxema, Pascal Dumat, Rick Keller, Lazarus Starkweather, Dave Garwood, Darren Lane; Henrik Nielsen, and more

A great thank also to the many beta testers and a special thanks to the shipping company DFDS for providing documentation to make realistic models of their fleet of passenger and freight ferries.

Idea and conceptualisation Henrik Nielsen, KL791

For support and additional information please follow our threads on the project on forums.flightsimulator.com, avsim.com, fsdeveloper.com, sim-outhouse.com in English, on flightsim.no in Norwegian and Danish, on voovirtual.com in Portuguese, and pilote-virtuel.com in French. 

Installation is simple: unzip and drop in your Community folder.  Ensure you traffic settings for Ships and Ferries are 5-10% to avoid conflicts with other AI ship traffic including default.

Known issues:

  • Models do not have effects such as smoke and wakes; it will be reintroduced in October 2021.
  • Models do not have hard decks - it will be reintroduced as soon as enabled for simobjects by Asobo
  • The MSFS engine is simple and not very stable; ships will sometimes be unstable or making strange movements if they meet other objects
  • As we have had to update more than 2000 textures and hundreds of models files, we do expect some glitches - if you find something really disturbing please send me a PM here or on forums.flightsimulator.com

Referencing or any other use or sharing of the models included in Global AI Ship Traffic can only happen after written permit by the copyright holders.

Thanks for your hard work on v2!  Count me in as one of those people who'd love to see US Great Lakes ships in motion.  I used to live in KDLH....we would get many ships from across the world

We will take that part next weekend - several of the ships for the lakes have been converted already, but the I need to redo the route files in order not to have a mess later 😄

 

 

Thanks Henrik your work us greatly appreciated.   Any chance we'll see more ships off the Atlantic like coastal North Carolina?

Where do you recommend we set the traffic slider for “ ships and ferries”?
