I tried it and found it works, but with 1/10th of the traffic I’m seeing from the default system, so something about it is still not quite right for 2024.
(It’s called Global AI Ship Traffic, or GAIST, and the creator was tapped for the default system. My understanding is they weren’t commissioned to do the models though, so we got these overly-detailed Gaya models that I think are to blame for how aggressively they pop in/out.)
Ok, thanks for your help
See related report: LIVE ships not showing
I haven’t seen a single ship in the Malacca strait and around Singapore, where there should literally be hundreds of. All traffic options on Ultra. Is there another setting to check than those in global rendering?
Ok I have just tried again. Took the drone out from Portsmouth - not one single ship and not one single nameplate visible
Interesting - if you want, I can try and recreate. I usually see many ships in places I’d expect to (or at least their nameplates - it’s actually usually very distracting 
)
I am seeing little round islands in the middle of the sea. Dont know if they are meant to be ships:-) I will add a pic if I can
Dont know if you can see but there are 3 in this pic
Well I dont get any of that. It was Portsmouth on the south coast of England that I was trying.
Well I think I have sussed it. Unbelievably you need to have Aircraft Traffic Type turned on for ships to appear - then disappear, then appear…etc. (See video clip)
That shows staggeringly poor decision making when it comes to the UI/Settings systems - Why not have ships exclusively tied to the Sea Traffic setting? It seems so obvious.
I think the whole Settings system needs a new set of eyes. Hand it over to someone else because it needs to be overhauled. There doesn’t appear to have been any clear thinking from the people who designed and implementd it.
Hopefully the awful ships LODs will be fixed because if you cant see the ships from a plane then it is pointless them being there in the first place.
The bloke from Global Shipping should have been employed rather than consulted
Yeah, I also wish it was separate as the current config doesn’t allow one to use third party traffic injection and see multiplayer aircraft simultaneously, which would be my ideal setup.
Can someone please tell me what ever happened to Ships and Boats in FS2024? I can´t see not even a single one! And all that hype about live ships position and all! Why people dont report this as a bug?
Is traffic on? Ship traffic and air traffic are grouped together. Odd, i know but there are plenty
Hi there…do you mean Air traffic type under online settings?
Ship LODs are broken and you have to be in really close proximity to see any. Ship traffic was released in a terrible condition. With boats not moving, or spinning all the time. Broken LODS… It’s in a worse condition that all other features that were released before completion
well,I had “traffic” turned off,but when I went to check for ships,is EXACTLY what you said …what a horrible experience,so its better turning that off again! I feel like suing them,I realy like FS24,but besides expensive,its causing me a lot of distress and like any other product,they have to abide to what was promised pre-sales! And worse,they turn a blind eye to peoples complaints!
