MSFS 2024 boats are too big?

Hi,

I just did a quick flight to Husavik, Iceland, a place I spent some time a couple of weeks ago IRL.
I was a bit disappointed about the boat traffic in MSFS 2024.

  1. The boats are too big, and they are all piled up on each other or floating in the air.
  2. The boats were not moving despite the fact that I have maxed out boat traffic.

Is it something that can be fixed, or maybe I did something wrong?

Thank you very much!

I think those are the boats Asobo placed on the Seine in Paris. They’ve stored them there for now.

This is something that Henrik Nielsen tried to improve with his GAIST package. In a few words: Asobos algorithm that decodes the ship transponder data has some flaws. Small boats often send no type information and MSFS assumes there should be large container ships or tanker.
If you install the latest GAIST package, the realism of ship types should be improved. Wrong headings of static ships (ships moored perpendicular to the pier) until now cannot be corrected; that would require a smarter code from Asobo.

Thank you. I will look into this package.
