I guess I read "Vessels Global Shipping" on the Orbx site where I purchased this wrong. Live and learn.... https://seafrontsims.com/global-shipping

And the description only mentions the seas.

Don't want this to get too drawn out so I'm just going to let you have the finishing word. When I read "global" I tend to think global. I am otherwise pretty happy with this add-on so far, I just wish I got global shipping traffic, as the advertising implies, not just ocean or seas traffic therefore I will not ask for a refund at this point as I would love to see a small developer succeed. Hopefully in the future we will get the global shipping, I would love to see it.

Hi @Daytona125 - It's something we want to add but there are issues with the sim that prevent it from happening properly at the moment. Our early builds had them and they were appearing under the lakes with the wakes on the surface. There's some potential (untested) work we could do to introduce them but first we need to address other issues that are affecting the product and not producing the results we intended. It might cause 'flying ships' over the lakes when/if(?) it ever gets fixed by Asobo. Even though we've had a vast majority of positive feedback (we're glad you're enjoying it too!), we really wanted to deliver more than is being realised at the moment and want everyone to enjoy it.

Keep working with and pushing Asobo/MS - but above all please keep the community informed, like you have been doing - we all want you to succeed and produce the product we ALL want👍

Hello,

I have Vessels Global Shipping + Enhanced AI and Mr. Henriks installed. There is no single ship when I'm flying despite having Sea Traffic to 100%.  I also checked the community folder that Orbx DIrect installed them correctly but the path/folders appear to be fine.

Did anyone have the same problem and could fix it? I dpn't know how it was before SU5 as I purchased it yesterday.

Hi @fleety737 - Please can you load into a new flight from Gibraltar (LXGB)? If you don't see any cargo ships going through the Gibraltar strait its definitely not installed properly. We've had one or two people that have needed to do a fresh install/validation/verification of the files via OrbxCentral and also to look in the Content Manager within MSFS to see if it has been recognised.

The ships seems to only appear with 100% settings if I use Live Traffic.

Thanks! It's working, I only got the impression because I couldn't find any ships in Greece. After little flying I could also find some ships at Athens

Live traffic shouldn't be effecting ships... they're not connected. odd.

Yeah i know, but much in the game seems to be screwed up at the moment.

Hi,

I've bought the Enhanced AI and I'm happy with what I see so far.

I'm planning to buy your Global shipping also.

 

In the mean time I've tried to find all the ships that replaced the default ships.

But for some reason I can only find the small sailing boats, yaths and fisherboats.

Do you know where I can find the larger containerships? Where MSFS places them?

I've tried at Calais, Cliffs of Dover, Rotterdam without succes.

Cheers

Festijn

 

 

 

 

Seafront...just wanted to give you a latest FYI:

It appears (to me) that you folks had the misfortune of releasing your two programs with SU5 (original) running the show.  

Why do I state that?  :

With SU5 HF,  many, many of your boats..and even some I had never seen prior to the HF,  are now coursing through the channel(s) of PNW. I even saw a waked Cruise Ship, that never spawned before the HF.  So...at least on my system, your two offerings were badly crippled by the release of SU5 (pre Hotfix) but now...I see action at 100 percent slider that I would have expected to see spawn and populate the oceans.  It was NOT your coding...it was that whatever was happening in SU5 before the Hot Fix...was indeed badly crippling your two offerings.  On my system anyway.

Yup, i bought the replacement AI Ship package yesterday and hardly saw a thing.  After todays hotfix San Francisco bay was teeming with activity on the water!

For 10 quid its a bargain actually.   Great models, really nice to have wakes.. makes all the difference. The night lighting reflecting off the water is sublime.   Happy I took a punt on it.

Could you guys post some screenshots? I would love to see what you're seeing just to get an idea how it looks in SU5+HF2.

I thought I grabbed a shot of the cruise ship with a wake..but it must not have key stroke grabbed. Here is one that did...I'll post more..
