Hi
So thought it would be interesting to checkout the Shipping status in MSFS 2020 in the Strait of Hormuz. Unfortunately with Real Time Aircraft enabled, setting shipping (Leisure Boats, Ships and Ferries and vehicles) to 100, all I got of the coast off the Dubai and a flew quite a bit out at see in area as per marinetraffic.com, there was no ships shown. All I got was a few cruise liners off the Dubai palms. So what’s going on? I tested at 2000ft - 5000ft and tanker traffic was zilch. I’ve never tried this before, but expected the AIS as per other data providers to show at least some tankers.
Is this a MSFS 2020 bug, or does it not represent tankers? I wouldn’t of expected MS/Asobo to pull down data representation from the area ref the current war as it’s already being published as normal. Even an X Google exec has recently written a new app to track from many data sources.
Any thoughts? Or is it a case of MSFS 2024 is needed for this?
