Yes to both.

A small update... We continue working on the real time version and new models. This week the first global real time traffic using the full fleet was tested - still things to improve but getting there. Below tankers at anchor near Ostende. Also several new models are entering the fleet which has passed 1600 different ships. As issues experienced during SU8 were greatly reduced with SU9 we are not hurrying with the next version.

a few shots of some of the new models...

Thanks, these comments reflects exactly what we have always be aiming for - if you fly an airliner there should be something to see on final approach and if you just fly low and slow as I mostly do you should see something new every time you fly. And ps Brian, I also include a new freight ferry on the Melbourne - Hobart route for the next update - there should also be something new down under...

We will keep the bgl's available and updated with the new ships as back up...

Yest that is a bit surrealistic... And with the Tech from Kai and AIG this will become even more fun - finally we will have ships docking in harbors.

We have been testing live traffic again today... Here Delft Seaways arrive real time in Dunkirk

Together with Knud, Kai we are progressing towards the first live marine traffic version... Today was test day for new models - in particular the two new giant DFDS ferries Luna Seaways and Aura Seaways sailing between Sweden and Lithuania. First sea trials to test textures and effects... Then Live docked in Klaipeda earlier today German SAR boat Nis Randers - please visit the site DGzRS | MRCC BREMEN | Bremen Rescue Radio | Die Seenotretter

I have also been looking into this today splitting the files apart to see if there is something to learn - the problem is that while the carrier can be used outside the Challenge mission (though without the tower), it does not bring the hard deck outside the challenge despite calling the exact same model... There is a runway definition in the carrier file with attach points but... well have to look more into it... I have 300 ships in the Global AI Ship Traffic package which used to have hard decks in FSX and P3D so would really like to crack this one... Henrik As the carrier model when used as AI appears without the superstructure and the bridge I let the USS Bainbridge from Global AI Ship Traffic give her a tow... The frigate include in the landing challenge is so hopeless that I wonder if I should offer Asobo one of my homemade amateur models just to get rid of that ugliness...

For support please use this thread or this one https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/global-ai-ship-traffic-v2-native-version-and-great-lakes/459135/1069 In both places we will also keep you updated on the progress on our Real Time maritime traffic project in collaboration with AlG, DFDS ferries, and a soon to be announced partner 😄

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....

Is that picture from the Great Lakes?

The beta basically works as intended - there are a few ships which need to get some texture work and some wakes could be better but routes and everything works after SU9 so we will take it easy. Probably next version and the DFDS real time add on will be launched in a few weeks, but while some users had issues under SU9 there are no cricital issues with the Beta right now after SU9 so instead of hurrying with a minor update correcting a ferry and a navy ship we will come with something really ground breaking.

You are welcome 😄 We are working hard on it.
