Mamudesign Marinas - Boats and Piers in the World

This is excellent. I really hated those sunken boats and marinas all over the coastlines and lakes. You’ve done a great work which I found worth a little donation.

Naturally, there are a few flaws, which I hope wou will be able to correct. I just caught one:

This is KSFO RWY 28R.

you can probably fix that yourself. From the mod description;

  • Boats are placed in every pier according that the “mooring” tag in Open Street Map is not “no” or “commercial/industrial”.

So log in to OSM, and tag that with mooring = no

A huge thank you, just a little correction:

Chimneys and antennas are from @PuffinFlight from its incredible add-on We Love VFR :wink:

@TohtliPilot
MSFS Is 100% able to stack sceneries (packages) on top of each other, and their priorities can be modified with

  • manually with content.xml till SU9
  • manually by renaming the name of the packages (and removing the content.xml in order to make the sim rebuild it till SU9)
  • from SU10, with a content ordering tool

I consider my “global” sceneries as low level mod (something that should be part of the base sim), so I intentionally name them with a name starting with an “a-” (and the same did puffin for We love VFR)
This put them to the community lowest priority

Any other package that is loaded after mine (like bjian or Seafront) can easily exclude my work with an “exclusionrectangle”. While those are pretty common practice when working with Airports,
usually developers adding stuff around them or making POIs don’t use them (because when they created their scenes there was nothing below, there was no reason to them to add such exclusionrectangle!)

Is up to them update their products, or any user can create a little project with the internal SDK following this tutorial that I have made about

(an update to the video, from SU10 changes made by exclusionrectangle are directly visible in the scenery editor without the need to compile and restart the SIM)

Your help is really appreciated, and donation also!

I pushed the fix to OSM for all the ILS at KSFO, and added to my fix list for next update

(How in the hell someone choose to tag ILS lights as a pier, because in OSM a pier is a place where is explicitly permitted to moor a boat…)

the answer lies in “Open”, there’s no admission exam :wink:

I made some changes in Corsica and the approach ramp in LFMT, in OSM.

I have noticed that there is a Mooring=Ferry tag… which you have not excluded..

Example: Swartz Bay ferry terminal near CYYJ

Good point my friend, that update to the OSM data was made by me after a user report on avsim.com

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/623187-auto-generated-marinas-boats_free-addon/page/2/

Will MS / Asobo take notice of this do you think? They could do with giving this guy a job!

Maybe if someone reported my post to a moderator they might take notice :slight_smile:

This guy has done amazing work on power lines and ski lifts as well.

Love this mod,

But on my home island Aruba can only see boats no docks or marines same for Curacao sister island. Plenty of docks and marines via satelite imagery but not mapped by this addon, wish it can be done in future updates.

Iam going to donate to you, this is awesome!

Btw would using OSM data also allow you to in the future release of oil refinary addon to add oil tank storage to refinary and pipes etc.

Please forgive me, My Bad,
I forgot Antigua, Curacao and the Virgin Islands
Will be available in next update

I had to delete it because it causes spikes in CPU usage and stutters on my system.
Even in places where the presence of marinas is not expected.
It’s a shame. I really like this plugin.
I only use VR, maybe that’s why.

Federico, you are a miracle worker. I’m still in awe of the skyways I see in the Alps… and now this!

Hi Federico,

After some fumbling around, I found your Youtube tutorial on adding Exclusionrectangles, which has allowed me to remove the boats at the Cowichan Bay freighter dock. As a thank you, I sent you some pizza.. :wink:
That is a small step forward, but it also removed the dock itself. Now, is there a way to remove the boats but keep the dock? I have the default “remove all objects” selected, but can I be more selective?

I think you’re going to have to add some chicken nuggets to receive personalised tutorials :smiley:

Gosh, had I known.. I only saw coffee and pizza on the menu..

I can‘t see any spikes and my cpu is not very good. Propably a conflict with other addon?

Best addon i installed for a long time!
Very fps friendly and makes flying coastal lines, rivers, islands so much more fun!
Thank you so much!

This is huge! It enhances all costal areas to no end. And lakes, rivers and canals too. Thank you for making this!
