Phantom Titanic sailing PAST the iceberg...

Duh know..., but...as I said...for whatever reason, calling up the Task Manager, and then merely using the top right X box to close the window, caused MSFS to get past the load bar freeze already 4 times that I tried it. It could be a W10/11 call...that gets hanged in the coding....and for some reason, causing W10/11 to focus on the Task Manger, breaks the lock/loop? Who knows...

I have had this too....at some angles if you are far enough from the ship traffic, the wakes are not trailing 180 degrees out from behind the stern...when I fly an off-set parallel flight path.

I have GAIST Beta installed, and--->I have discovered a work-around simply by accident. Captain, if you find your load bar freezes at around 40 percent, do the key presses to get to the Task Master, and then close that window...don't end anything...and when you close that window, the Load Bar will continue its advance. I found this out that as MSFS was frozen at 40 percent (I waiting five minutes to be sure...) I then wanted to end MSFS using the Task Master. But wanting to give MSFS one more chance to progress, I didn't end it...merely top right x'ed the Task Master Window closed, and saw the load bar become animated again. Well..with the next freeze up...I didn't wait one minute...I opened up the Task Master Window...waited five seconds, closed the window...and again, MSFS's load bar animated to put me at the welcome screen. So try that...why that works, I have no idea, other than perhaps it is a Windows 'hang' and by calling up the Task Master, and then merely closing the window...it 'jars' Widows 10/11 to respond...and load out the program. Is this true...have no idea...but I have done this now four times, when the MSFS load bar stalls at 40 percent load in , and each time I close the Window without doing anything more but calling it up...and then closing it...the MSFS load bar continues to full load.

What blows my mind, is that you can see two twin screw trails...my jaw dropped at that detail! Wow....and wow....

Link now alive and downloadable

AI Shipping for the Great Lakes.... The link is downloadable now...just installed it!

That would be the new ship, the 'Ferry' Godmother...a most wishful ship! 🙂

Oh, well then, lol I will have to view those pages! 🙂

It's out in the wild.... https://flightsim.to/file/9529/global-ai-ship-traffic-msfs-v1 (Don't worry that it shows v1...it goes right to the v2 update uploaded tonight...) BE SURE to delete v1..both folders, and THEN un-zip into your Comm Folder.

Man, that looks fantastic...will read (am actually ) the PDF and get right onto it...P3D here we come...matey!

Am downloading as soon as you advised me of this...no I missed it...am going to have a blast this afternoon, in P3D v5.2HF1!!!!!!!! THANK YOU! Post Edit: "My GAWD, this package looks FANTASTIC! I'm reading the PDF file right now...like you said...no 'boxes' on the water...! Going to install right now!" WOW......!!!

"WOW...wonderful to read!!!! Where do you think the E.F. would spawn? On mostly Lake Superior? Great news...and nostalgia. Do you think he wrote routes for White Fish Bay, or around there? Easy to fly to...." So, this is for FSX and P3D, right?

There sure is... hundred to thousands of flight simmers live around the Great Lakes! Thank you for even considering this!

Airborne, and away....

If you read my ***SERIOUS*** post, that I posted this morning in the Video/Monitor forum...about my needing to switch out my present vid card's position on the PCI-Express bus...I'd give that some consideration as well. In which channel you shall place it into, on the Bus. I got a flight platform wide, 25 percent increase (not peaks...but a sustainable mean average, or if locked down!) in FPS generation. If you haven't yet decided to click on the post...it will detail my experience this morning.....and something to certainly think about, on your own system, present, and future.... Cheers, Sesquashtoo

Neil, it could be system-specific in your case. I'm running with an EVGA GTX680 Super Clock right now...and that is what is driving my screen's, and the performance thereof. It's pretty much given that across flight simulators, the nVidia camp, seems to have less video-quality issues, than with ATI cards. Have you thought of coming to the nVidia side of things? My FS9 .cfg is pretty much stock, so I don't think I can offer advice in that regard. Ses

Neil, here are my nVidia Inspector settings for FS9: Good luck!

Thanks, Pug! I installed this morning RTH v4.0, and was tweaking my four pre-sets with this flight and others. I replaced RTH v3.2

I do have Norway Pro, and was having a blast this afternoon cruising the fjords. I'll take a look at the TDG recommendation.

Wow...
