As long as I have been flying MSFS I have never seen any ship traffic. I have GAIST ULTRA Ver. 3 and have selected 100% Ship Traffic. I did see one yacht at Hong Kong Harbor. Am doing something wrong ? Dave

This isn't an Xplane-10 post, nor an FSX post, or a post about any particular simulator that currently exists. It's about the future! No two ways about it, XPlane-10 Seattle is exceptional - and there is room for a lot more in that city. I've also been very impressed by the speed of which addons have been coming out for Xplane-10 as well. Nice job Austin... I've lived the labor of love myself, so I can spot one when I see it. When the rest of the world is populated like Seattle, and ships and trains are added, I will retire and do nothing but immerse myself into X-Plane 10/11/12. In fact, I'll look for a way to digitize myself into the simulator! One Sim to Rule Them All is not as tall an order as you might think. In fact, the lads at DCS are already doing it after a fashion. A virtual world where you can fly an aircraft, pilot a ship or train, or even a car - and whatever you do is seen by the others online. Mixed AI that one can jump into. For instance trains would run on a schedule (this doesn't have to bog down computers by the way) so if you're flying over a particular point when the train is supposed to be there, you'd not only be able to see it, you could pilot it if someone else wasn't already doing so, copilot it, or get on as a passenger if you really wanted to. Same for air traffic and ships. Taking it a step further.... fly, boat, drive or train into a city like Seattle for FANCON, a Virtual Airlines meeting, or whatever. Go to a building, and inside you have a virtual meeting facility with presentations, advertisements and could actually speak to Ryan from PMDG in a group setting, or Austin from X-plane, or anyone at all. The best part is that addon modules could be created by anyone, opening the development doors as wide as you can imagine. Sure, sure, a monster server would be required, no doubt about that. But they already exist and are waiting to be used! We'll likely have One Sim to Rule Them All someday, but everything needed to produce it is already available today. Isn't "Someday" a great place? I suppose that's a great name for this virtual world.
