Nice to see this released. I look forward to the main package also getting an update real time or not.

Good morning folks,

Hoping the shipping experts can set me on the correct course (pun intended :slight_smile: )

I have the following;

GAIST V3
Great Lakes Ship Traffic V2

That is all straight forward, and sliders set appropriately;

I do also have;

Seafront Living World Vessels AI
Seafront Living World Vessels Global Shipping
Seafront Sightseeing Vessels Anguilla Martin Barts
Seafront Sightseeing Vessels Core
Seafront Sightseeing Vessels Hawaii
Seafront Sightseeing Vessels Virgin Islands

I suspect, that Global Shipping would be a conflict / duplicate of GAIST V3 and could be removed correct?

The Sightseeing ones are area specific and I suspect can be left alone?

What about AI and Core?

Thanks in advance!

I have no wakes on any of the Lakes ships. Where are they located? The gaistV3 “visual effects” folder does not contain any of the wakes in the ship’s config files or appear in the MSFS effects folders. Are they built into the model? I have wakes on all the ships sailing around NYC, Boston, Norfolk, etc.

You are right there is a missing link which neither I nor testers discovered as we all have another folder with the files… I will correct and reupload hopefully tomorrow.

None of the Seafront are related in any way to GAIST - the Sightseeing ones do generally not interfere. They are in limited areas. The Global Shipping is more of an issue depending on system and settings.

I will tell here once it becomes available. I have a lot to do today so did not get to it yet, but hopefully this evening.

I spoke with the Fleet Engineer for Rand Logistics. Any particular vessel drawings you are in need of, he said he would supply them if available.

I will come back :smiley:

The update with fixed wakes for the Great Lakes is now available here:

GAIST Great Lakes ship traffic V2_1 - MSFS AI Traffic - FlightSim.Com

If you have Global AI Ship Traffic GAIST Ultra V3.0 installed the above is the only download you need as the wakes are shared between the packages.

If you do not have Global AI Ship Traffic GAIST Ultra V3.0 you should also install this small addon which contains the effects.

GAIST Great Lakes Visual Effects - MSFS AI Traffic - FlightSim.Com

A part from wakes and smoke, the new upload has a simpler file structure which reduces the install size by 25%.

Also the new package has improved lights on the models from the original Great Lakes package.

Hello, @hnielsen791
The main package, v2.1, still does not include the VisualEffectsLibs folder, which includes the small addon.
I understand that it is then necessary to download both packages. It’s right?

If you have Global AI Ship Traffic GAIST Ultra V3.0 installed you should only download GAIST Great Lakes V2.1. If you do not have GAIST Ultra you need the extra file with the effects.

Is there any way to get shipping traffic in the Gulf of California?
