Enhanced AI update v1.6.0 is now available for PC.
This update adds new wakes to the larger ships and removes the models that are no longer required by Vessels: Global Shipping (which now has a dependency on the Vessels Core Library instead of Enhanced AI).

CHANGES COMING TO VESSELS: ENHANCED AI WITH v2.0
With version 2.0 of Vessels: Enhanced AI you will also need the Vessels Core Library. This brings the pack into line with all our other packs and saves valuable development time. It also means I can bring you features that aren’t in the current version. Watch this space for more details .
Version 2.0 is currently with publishers and should be with you in the coming weeks.
We have observed that the performance impact from Enhanced AI under SU9 is limited compared to our other packs. This may be because the sim clears the ‘wanderboats’ from memory earlier, but you should be able to set Leisure Boat Traffic to 100% with SU9.
P.S. There’s no update from Asobo yet on the Xbox Leisure Boats fix so this pack remains unavailable for Xbox at this time. If you’re an XBox user, please let Microsoft/Asobo know that you’d like this fixed.
Regards,
Chris @ Seafront Simulations

Vessels: Enhanced AI has been overhauled to version 2.0 which includes a significant boost to the variety of boats you’ll see using the in-game ‘Leisure Boat Traffic’.
NOTE: Enhanced AI now requires the free Vessels Core model library to be installed.
The key features with 2.0 are:
- Now includes more than 50 boats to replace the handful of default boats
- Includes High Quality, PBR models
- Replaces default AI ‘wanderboat’ leisure boats
- Replaces the default routed cargo ships, cruise ships and fishing boats
- More regionally accurate and balanced models
- Navigation and night lighting as standard
- Optimised with multiple LODs
- Sailing yachts, catamarans, fishing, utility, cruise and cargo ships of different types and more.
- Large ships visible at high altitude 30,000ft+
- Includes wakes and smoke VFX
The improvements we have made mean compared to version 1 you’ll now be seeing much less of this…
…and more of these instead…
…plus many more
Vessels: Enhanced AI v2.0 is now available via OrbxDirect and the in-game MSFS Marketplace - Xbox Users see Request below.

P.S. Our testing has shown little impact on performance with Enhanced AI and the current Sim Update 9. Tests with SU10 beta are also fine but please report performance issues for any of our packs here:

====== Finally, A Request to Xbox Users ======
Please can Xbox users that want to see these boats on Xbox vote for and contribute to this Bug Report so Asobo can fix the Leisure Boat Traffic fixed on Xbox.
