Is that picture from the Great Lakes? 

Yes it is...just off the shoreline from Toronto, in Lake Ontario

Just got test reports from the English Channel and other places, everything normal. It seems like your screenshot is from the Great Lakes; the ship is one of the Canadian Steamship Lines ships sailing on the lakes. The ships included in the Great Lakes packages do not have wakes... So it is perfectly normal that there is no wake behind it. Has been like that all the time.

However the ship has a "double" hidden under the water if you have GAIST Beta installed - the GAIST Beta has routes for the Great Lakes, but due to the altitude bug, which has been there since the launch of MSFS, the ships are not appearing on the lakes, but their wakes does. The routes in the GAIST Beta and the Great Lakes packages are copies of each but the routes in the Great Lakes package were moved slightly, which is why you see the wake besides, before or after - some ships will also have no wake near them as some routes were added in the Great Lakes package. 

You will see the same in you have Seafront's Enhanced AI installed and turn up leisure boats; the boats will not appear but their wakes will. So it has nothing to do with the latest update of the Sim.

The Great Lakes routes will be removed from the GAIST Beta in the next update, that was already planned. But please, if you want my attention then post in one of the support threads instead of creating new threads. I do not have time to sit and follow threads all over... There are quite a few threads on this project in English plus French, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, German, Norwegian, Dutch....

 

 

Thanks Hendrik...yes...those shots were off of Toronto's Skyline...and also, have found this happening (as you point out) when flying down the St Lawrence River...   So, as you say, with the Great Lakes (will be) taken out of the GAIST Beta, which I am also running,  the surface wake of those cargo-submarines will be gone.  Good to read.   Thank you, and will ask further support questions, where you suggest.  Thanks once more for an awesome gift to the Community. 100 times that thanks!
