GAIST Global AI Ship Traffic V6 and Great Lakes

I resolved my “problems” with GAIST. I dumped MSFS 2024.

I’ve been in contact with Hendrik since FSX days and can say he is passionate about his work with ships and AI shipping. Once (if ever) MS and Asobo get their act together and straighten out MSFS 2024, I’m positive he will get GAIST working in MSFS 2024 for us. It is what it is. Keep calm and hang in there.

Is it on the marketplace yet?

Landable ships is the feature I was waiting for. And ships rock and tilt realistically! It is really a shame Asobo did not work with Henrik to integrate his work natively into the sim. An experimental version of GAIST had a live traffic feature they had to scrap because the data provider was sold to another company. I had it and it worked perfectly.

Has anyone tried Vessels Global Shipping 2024? The information and images look really good.

Changing the subject. No news from Henry since July 20th, when he posted his last message in this thread.

I suppose he’s busy with life and work, but does anyone know anything?
Does anyone know if this project will continue in the future?

And revisiting the idea of an external traffic/model injector? Like the FSLTL mechanism? Or doesn’t that work for the same reason?

Same.. You would say it should be possible to find a free/cheap way to disclose the AIS data.

Little question, what happen if I use the GAIST models with the last Vessels: Global Shipping 24 ?

Without having tested it, it’s logical to assume that some routes and ships will overlap. Furthermore, having twice as many ships will likely lead to performance issues.

Would it be possible to know if the developers are aware that no ships are showing in AI Offline mode MSFS2024 SU4? (I tried Ultra,High,Medium,Low)

This is the preferred method for me as I can adjust the density/amount and do not have issues with ships being placed perpendicularly to docks and weird Live behaviors.

Thanks

I have VGS and it’s really good. No real time traffic though, but it works great and helipads are landable

Waiting to see if GAIST live traffic ever comes back

Does anyone know anything about Henry?
His last post on this forum was seven months ago, in July 2025.

I saw a new post from him on FSdeveloper saying “there is a major update on the way”, I’m sure he’ll post something here really soon.
