Does this Great Lakes package stand on its own?  No other packages required?

The GAIST Great Lakes Ship Traffic V2 is an independent extension to the Global AI Ship Traffic project.

The term "extension" is what threw me.....

Just to be clear -- this file replaces "gaist-us-lakes"?

Many thanks.

Are these landable? (i.e. helos)

Does GAIST and other ship AI not cause significant performance hits?

[dobee51 349]

Is this for use with the current version 3, or the old version 2?

Lots of questions, and no answers.

Sorry, but I am seeing very few Great Lakes ships with this version replacing "gaist-us-lakes", traffic set to 6% as recommended. I have checked several areas that might be expected to have ship traffic, e.g. Chicago, Detroit, Duluth etc. Slight correction -- I do see one ship in Lake Erie near Cleveland. Many more are detected in Little Nav Map but do not appear in the sim. Any idea what is going on?

There was an elevation issue in the sim where inland lakes are concerned.  Those ships you see on LNM could be submerged.

I remember this issue from the old version of Great Lakes ships when it first came out, but it was fixed I believe. But if this the case now, how to explain that I do see a few ships? One would think the elevation problem would affect all ships.
