When it was announced 2024 would be supporting ship traffic and using scheduling / routing information data, I was excited and expecting the result to be similar to what we had using the freeware GAIST addon in 2020. That package does an outstanding job of replicating shipping traffic around the world and matching model types to the traffic types: i.e. ferries look like ferries and cargo ships look like cargo ships. There are hundreds of models/liveries in the GAIST package.
If it’s not possible within the 2024 framework, then I’m hoping the built in shipping traffic will be separated from the built in air traffic so I can turn off the built-in shipping traffic and use a 3rd party package like GAIST.
The current 2024 implementation really falls short of what was already possible with 2020.
