Why we dont have traffic marine too

Can ships and other vessels work in AI with FS2020?

There are AI ships & boats already… although they’re quite hard to spot. It was ages before I saw any moving ones

Maybe one day, here’s another tracking site

Same for trains

And live traffic info can add traffic jams on highways, road works and police/ambulance lights at accident sites, all live.

The possibilities are endless, time and money are the constraints.

They’re using legacy traffic from FSX for cars (mentioned in the NoClip documentary) and commented they had to dial it way down to prevent user system performance impact. I noticed some of the active ferries moving around my sim home-field are identical to FSX on timing, so there is traffic. The NoClip video really makes it clear how this is vastly different from FSX, and what we’ve come to expect as canned traffic patterns from that sim may not be easily implemented given the amount of load everything else is imposing - like streaming autogen, Bing Maps, PG, and yes, the on and off nature of Live Weather and Air Traffic.

There was a cruise ship off the Kona coast of the Big Island this morning. Didn’t get close enough to see if they were flying the COVID flag.

Page 2 of that thread shows exactly how to create the .json file so that it works with MSFS.

I’d love to see real time marine and rail traffic. That would definitely make the world feel more alive.

But I’d rather they focus on getting real time air traffic and weather sorted first, then a bunch of other stuff. Marine traffic can come down the road once more essential stuff is taken care of.

I imported Henrik Neilson’s mod and it’s really made the waters around the Caribbean come alive. Phantom has linked it, it’s easy to do.

can you give the link pls

That post on Avsim has all you need.
