Do you have any mods or addons installed? I do not recognize the sailing ship as one of the default ships.

  • Don’t know. The ship models are not appearing for me.

Really? With no addons I swear I see this massive sailing ship in almost every harbor I’ve ever flown over. You must just be lucky - that or the pirates are afraid of you because you’re a mod :rofl:

I agree that the maritime traffic is absolutely horribly drawn. There are huge oil tankers on top of each other, criss crossed, some rotate by themselves. Others are sitting perpendicular to a body of water [ like sitting across a river] .

To reporduce, for example, enable sea traffic and fly over the river Seine in Paris. You will see what i mean. Another example is to fly over EGHJ [ southern england/ Porsmoth, Southampton, Isle of Wight region], and you will see the same issue there too.

• Same here “ships all over the place” especially on top off other ships. same photos.
new ships very well detailed.
No mods or extra packages. Used to have a Italian coastline package but on 2020. This fault also ooutside Italy.
Ryzen 9800X3D and nvidia 5080.

it happens everywhere in this mess of a game.

And please add a toggle to turn off leisure boats and yachts, they spawn randomly when using live traffic but they are not live traffic, they are generically placed there.

They spawn even at very small bodies of water with no access to sea or drinking water reservoirs with no ships allowed.

Please let me turn those off, there is nothing realistic about a group of big yachts having a party at every tiny lake without sea access. Did they airlift them in?

hi, i have a lot of problem with ships and boat.

the sim spawn a big ships on terrain, boat flight, boat with penetration between 2 or more ships… wtf?

in game it’s not present the possibility to disable real time traffic boat, without disable air traffic, and a lot of people ask this option…the only way it’s disable boat in graphics option… but if i install GAIST, and disable boat on graphics, the ships don’t appear? or not exist a mod for Ai boat for override real time? thanks!

this is the situation of miami… the street under water, boat on street… come on Asobo…

The placement of ships into the scenery is absolutely ridiculous!

I also still see some cargo in Paris since one year, I just turned it off, It’s a shame because they are greatly modelised but the size never match with the reality…

I do have a similar issue where ships on a river are placed all over the way. It looks like a big ship accident - someone them even stranded on the river banks.

To reproduce start a flight from LOLO and observe the river Danube especially the part where it flows directly through the city of Linz. Ships everywhere, wrong types, ships over each other, ships on the banks, etc pp

Version 1.6.25.0 has changed absolutely nothing to the strange misplaced ships

( and i am afraid this will not be fixed ever..)

Considering ship traffic data doesn’t provide the direction a ship is facing, this very well may be true. Only solution would be handcrafting every port and dock.

That would be an impossible job i guess.

Why not change the direction of the ships to the direction of the river? Change the algorithm and that would look much better! Give each ship and boat a software compass. And set it to the course of the river. Much better than my video below because that’s ridiculous!

Is “the direction of the river” an existing data point? And what about the many (most?) ports and harbors that are not a river? It’s a tough problem, for sure. I’ve just resigned to avoiding those areas when flying low :grimacing:
