    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Did you see here any boats?

My traffic (boats) is set up on 50% but I didnt see any ocean/sea traffic. Did You spot it?
 
I have both of the boat traffic sliders set at 100%, and see quite a few. Not so much when set at 50%. When flying over/into Cuba yesterday evening, there was some small-medium sized boat traffic around the coasts as I neared to and flew away from the islands.
 
I have the same question as YoYo. I will check my slider, I think it was over 50% and still did not see any boats or ships.
 
So looks that Henrik will have a lot of work here :loyal:. Cant wait for his Global AI Ship Traffic for MSFS.

I noticed that he started to do something with this, maybe wave effect looks not for MSFS standard (MSFS has new effects for ths I suppose) but nice to see his traffic in MSFS:

I have not seen any wake effects in MSFS, not even for the ICON. I hope we will see wake effects comparable to DCS (best ever imho) and real 3d.
 
I looked at the traffic files for the boats and some are 80%. I did see some partial wakes that need some work.
 
We were clued in during a Q&A with a few of the Asobo developers, about a week prior to release, that some effects like wakes and water spray were still in progress, to be added within one of the future updates. Right now the only wake effect you'll see with the ICON is if you have the water rudder deployed, but it is the same old FSX wake effect as you will also see with the AI boat traffic right now. One of the items that is hoped to be seen is water spray/droplets/streamers on the windshield when operating on and off the water, like the windshield rain effects which are so great.

Again, the development of this sim by Asobo/MS is far from finished (in their words, it's only just the beginning), and we're going to see a lot of stuff coming from them in the months/years ahead.
