July 18, 2025Jul 18 Flying around Vancouver the last several days, I expected to see some ships. I only saw a few small craft. it's prime cruise ship season here, and there are always freighters anchored in English Bay waiting for a berth. It's sad. What happened to that? I though it was one of the top promoted features? GAIST adds some ships, but it still seems disappointing. I still didn't see any cruise ships and no ferries, I saw one container ship beached on a bank, and 3 freighters anchored in the bay.
July 18, 2025Jul 18 Same can be said with the live air traffic liveries which were in all the promotion videos. A lot of the features promoted don't actually exist as advertised sadly.

Where did you ever see water like that? In 10 years maybe... OP, don't expect to see any kind of realistic traffic for now. But the good news is that trains will be released in 2023. Also, an impressive list of updates and improvements are expected in 2022, we just have to wait /s Edited July 18, 2025Jul 18 by MrFuzzy 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

July 18, 2025Jul 18 We have had so many fixes to the regressions it is impressive. If they can just get around to fixing the MSFS2020 bugs / issues in this all new 2024 engine, I would be very happy.

The only luck I've had with ships ai in MSFS 2024 are the Seafront packages. The Hawaii one is especially nice. Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
July 18, 2025Jul 18 That would be a great question for today's developer live stream if one could get it on the docket for discussion! Ken
July 18, 2025Jul 18 The model matching needs more options. AFAIK the only options are ship type and country of origin. Can't use the IMO number or anything. Edited July 18, 2025Jul 18 by Tuskin38

Actually its very true, and I will quote @MrFuzzy because he created a brilliant list of all of the things that are still broken, some of which go way back to 2020 and have had several promises over the years in those QandA streams:- Quote Don't use AI traffic Don't use Real traffic Don't use the Flight planner: it still doesn't have performance data and is unable to provide fuel estimations after how many months from launch? Six? Abandonware Don't use photogrammetry Don't use damage simulation: terrain elevation is a mess in many airports and you will crash on the taxiways. Sadly, planes are not very good at climbing stairs. Also, pushback often pushes the plane against buildings or other parked aircraft so... Don't use pushback Don't use Career mode Don't use Fauna Don't use Dynamic settings Don't consider Asobo hardware recommendations Don't use LEBL ... Edited July 18, 2025Jul 18 by Ianrivaldosmith
