These effects are essential to increase realism for both the seaplane and the ships.

You might not have seen the default moving and if your CPU is on overload you can basically just turn down the ship traffic and survive with the increasing number of static ships being included in sceneries… Most of the comments here goes specifically on the Global AI Ship Traffic project, where more than having the ships moving the point is that every time you enter the sim you basically have a different scenario as ships will come and go like in the real world. It is eye candy but also in the future a place to land…

The point of this thread is obviously to hi-jack the flightsimulator and turn it into the world best ship simulator… :upside_down_face: :joy: :rofl: :innocent:

I think there was just some miscommunication resulting from your original comment. But, the default ships do not move (IIRC). This is for a separate freeware addon from @hnielsen791 that adds moving AI ships worldwide on predefined routes. Right now, there are no wakes for moving AI ships. This petition is looking to change that. Henrik’s addon has been a must in the flight sim World for many many years!

Cheers,

Ahh I see… my bad. There was no mention in the original comment about this as an addon and the tags doesn’t reflect that as well. I wasn’t aware there was a mod for this.

Yes, we will need these effects, so we not only see which way the vessels going but for much more realism, so wakes, waves, smoke etc.
Keep up the great work, Henrik.

Yes please add wakes and waves. This add on is so fantastic and adding those features will make awesome as well! We await the update with enthusiasm.
Thanks for the hard work and insight.

This should be added right along with wake and spray for seaplanes. It’s a major oversight that seaplanes don’t even have the slightest interaction with the water they are in. And if you can do it for seaplanes, it should be doable for boats and ships.

Amazing addon that fleshes out the world so wakes are essential! Come on Asobo please!

Looking good but something is missing…

Vote +1, and great work.

Really nice but need to add wake and bow effects!

This add-on is frame friendly as author Henrik Nielsen, aka hnielsen791, into official forum of MS Fight Simulator also says.

In my simulator the FPS are set to 30. As you can see in the video the maximum I can get is 20 fps this is a function of my settings all on ultra. The sea with a little wave motion influences decisively.
