Ship Traffic: Associated With Wrong Models & Live Only

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

  1. Ship traffic is not associated with appropriate models. Specific example, the BC Ferries are being shown with some type of small freighter rather than a typical passenger/car ferry. (In contrast, GAIST in 2020 does match models very well.)

  2. No ships appear when set to AI Traffic (even though the setting refers to aircraft). Ships only appear when “Live” aircaft traffic is set.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

Also the ships are not visible until you are on top of them.

LOD is 200 for both terrain and objects, ships set to ultra. This is at WSSS, a major shipping port, and an amazing approach / departure over 100’s ships!

Lots of nametags for the ships…

But none can actually see!

As I zoom in, a few can be seen (it takes 10 - 20 sec to populate, and some are spinning like they were in Alpha) some disappear and re-appear as a different ship, some don’t fully show, etc etc

I am unable to post a separate bug for this as I have been in the sin-bin for a couple of weeks now. If anyone wants to use this post to create new bug , by all means.
