HiI am creating a virtual Royal Navy for FS9 and FSX to releace as freeware. The bulk of the ships have already have been created in FSDS 3.5, all major warship classes are included (post ww2), all have animated radars ect, and as i am a current serving member of the Royal Navy, the ship modles are ultra realistic as i have access to information not available in the public domain. I am quit confident in the workings of FSX, but within the SDK, i cannot find anything specific in how to make the ships move and create the moving flight deck to go with the ships, (such as the Aircraft carriers and other ships provided by the FSX Acceleration addon).I assume the ships are created as AI traffic and follow some kind of AFCAD file, the models dont seem to be scenery files and i think i am correct in that they reside in the simobjects folder.And help would be greatly appreciated.kind regardsAndy

Hello Andy,Sounds like a great project. Lamont Clark has put together a little program that might get you started - please see the AI Boat Traffic Compiler here:http://lc0277.nerim.net/boat/Best regards.Luis
