Fishing boat from Greenland… well, Whale Hunter… For a whale lover this was a tough boat to model, but we also included Greenpeace and the Calypso…

Thank you so much again for your awesome work! After SU8 and a switch to Windows 11 with current Nvidia drivers I did have frequent CTDs for some time, with and without GAIST. I did not have time to really investigate the cause of the CTDs, but after following some of the usual advices like regenerating my rolling cache, somehow the sim stabilized and I have not had any crash in weeks, with the current version of GAIST installed

This add-on goes from strength to strength. Wakes and smoke with ship movement really adds to my flights especially in areas with dense traffic. Love it 
I have a question about lightships. Effectively a lighthouse on a ship that can be moored over shallows or other hazards to warn mariners. Not in use as much as they used to be for sure.
However if something like this could be added, with a working light beacon, that’d be so cool. Add a NDB or other navaid and could use them for the visuals and navigation.

Not many lightships are around these days… If my eyes didn’t fool me I actually think I saw one being towed towards a new future probably as restaurant or museum an hour ago but it was out in the distance and I was in the train. But the silhouette was right…
But light beacons are all over and so are light houses - a lot of add-ons already exists
I use this eg. this one in both free and paid version

I still get freezes with the SU 9 Beta but it was expected.

Looking forward to seeing the next update. The new models look fantastic.
I just read about this interesting project that Aerosoft is developing and that could be a good complement for GAIST in that part of the world.
https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/171699-north-sea-industry-preliminary-title/
Maybe, maybe not… The screen shots point to stock models from cgtrader and turbosquid - that is not a crime, but the problem is that Aerosoft has purchased the same stock models as Seafront, so it will be more of the same - that is a pitty because the heliports would be nice.

There’s a mod that adds a bunch of oil rigs to the North Sea and other northern Europe seas:

They’re default models but it’s still cool flying over one of these locations and spotting them below

Yes, nice to have these. It would be great to have the ODG rigs in MSFS.
I’m one of the users that got stuck on the fly screen.
The last couple of days I got stuck every time I loaded with GAIST.
Yesterday I downloaded again an unzipped with winzip (instead of 7zip)
AND excluded my add on and community folder from ESET AV.
3 flights start without problems.
Will keep trying to see if problem stays away.

Happy to hear that; as mentioned above we have seen other cases of issues with the unzipping of the very big file, so this could be one more.
Hi
I have been doing a lot of testing and feel close to understanding what is causing this problem, although not a solution as is seems to be a sim bug related to sim resource loading. Please note that it is affecting other addons as well, although the problems manifest in different ways with other addons.
I would be interested to know whether you are testing and developing on an AMD or Intel CPU platform, and if you are using Windows 10 or 11.
TIA.
Are there any Sea Shepherd vessels in the mod yet?

AMD and Windows 11 for my part.
No Sea Sheperd but Greenpeace is there…

OK thanks, that helps confirm my suspicions. I believe that I now have repeatable scenarios where I can demonstrate when the sim resource loading problem occurs and when it does not. I aim to create a Zendesk support request to highlight what I believe is a general bug in SU8, rather than something specific to GAIST, which will not get support anyway as it is a third party product.
At the moment I lack enough supporting evidence to back my main theory about the underlying cause, so if anyone else could answer the following questions it would be appreciated:
-
Are you experiencing the sim freezing after selecting FLY when using GAIST? YES/NO
-
Are you using a PC or XBox for the sim? PC/Xbox
-
If you use a PC for the sim does it use AMD or Intel CPU? AMD/Intel
-
If running the sim on a PC are you using Windows 10 or 11? 10/11
Thanks
- YES
- PC
- Intel (I7-4770), 16 GB Ram, SSD, RTX 2070 and latest NVIDIA driver 512.15)
- 10 (fully up to date)
