A few more for the next update... If they look alike, it is not because I have gone lazy - it is the same ship before and after conversion to crude oil tanker.

ups.....

Unfortunately the sim does not really consider navigation rules. Maneuvers are also rather unrealistic so the best is to keep the ships distanced from each other which again complicates route planning a lot. Below the first sea trial with the Type 45 destroyer model. Still Work-In-Progress, but she floats :D

Hi Heiko, The evasive maneuvers with ships on parallel courses do indeed depend on ship size meaning that larger ships needs more parallel space in order not to perform evasive manuevers even if the ships were not going to hit each other... All my routes have for simplicity been spaced with 500 meters in parallel distance to avoid these manuevers. Regards to the Eurocargo ships... you know that the more is put on the wish list the longer it will take :D Henrik

Next up... Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer. Still some way to go but stealth ships are easier to do...

Not half a year... We are almost having everything needed for an update.

Hi Heiko, Unfortunately I don't spend much time at home, so it is difficult to tie the project together - you will need patience. But new models keep being added by me and others, so it will become a great update with a lot of variety in terms of models.

hi. It looks like you do not have the latest versions installed. Download and install Global Ai Ship Traffic V1 and 200 AI Ships and AI ship traffic V2.

Thanks... I look forward to the day where I have time enough at home to actually test them in the virtual water.

For those looking for more traffic in the Mediterranean Sea... This one will travel between the isles South and South East of Athens Still some détails to add improvements to do on the texture, but it is getting there.

I just did a short search on youtube and what I saw was not really helpful. But as Heiko said - tell what you are looking for - maybe we can guide you through the steps.

I agree Heiko - once you get started AIBTC is not that complicated. Programing of AI ship traffic is also different than AI air traffic because you need to draw the entire path to avoid islands, bridges, etc... Doing a special tool for that I think would be quite cumbersome... at least it is far beyond my skills which are more on the creative side making small cozy Norwegian fishing boats :D

The program exists... It is called AIBTC... Combine it with GoogleEarth and Notepad and you're already well on the way. You can find it below. http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/boat/

You are welcome - it is great to receive continued positive feedback on this project, which started as just a small thing but appears to have become an integral part of the sim experience for many simmers :D We will keep up the work - there are plenty of new things coming - and to Oriusmagus - also in the Mediterranean. I am aware that in particular the Greek islands are still "underserviced" with ship traffic.

Thanks for the nice feedback... A few more variants - I like when the shipyards do long series and the shipowners provide many different liveries - maybe one day the ugly default ferries of FSX will be something of the past :D
