Global AI Ship Traffic V1 for FSX and P3D News and Support

Not about to go the Simviation route, but having tried FS Norway the download starts fast but slows to a crawl after 300 or so MB then fails.:banghead:

If you click the server B button at the bottom of the flightsimnorway you will get a somewhat slower 2mb/s connection but it is stable. Flightsimnorway has had a tremendous increase in traffic as it so far despite mails to both avsim and flightsim.com has not been possible to upload there, so the Norwegian site moved more than a terrabyte in 24 hours
 
I went with the simviation download when it was first available. Started it at the end of the night and it was waiting for me the next morning. No time lost. All is good.

Thanks :D I guess this weekend it should be a bit easier - less pressure on the connection at flightsimnorway also.

For those thinking about a nice little flight for a summer evening I would recommend a trip from Sandefjord Torp in Norway departing around 19:50 local time in summer (17:50 GMT) towards the Southwest to coast near Nevlunghavn where a Tall Ship Race departs around 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT) - the return can go North above the Oslo fjord

With the latest package uploaded, it is time to continue on an old idea - classic shipping - and with the below model time has turned back 37 years to 1982 and the time of the Falkland War. Still some work to do including adding a hard deck and a bunch of Harriers and Chinooks.

The Global Shipping package includes a lot of classic ships both navy and civilian, some of them are still sailing today and thus activated on routes in the package, others are "dormant" in the package e.g. several Royal Navy ships from the eighties - now some more will be added covering the period from the late sixties to the early eighties in other words, the ships I used to see when I was a kid and took my bicycle down to the harbour.

HMS Ambuscade which sailed with Atlantic Conveyor, when it was attacked in the Southern Atlantic

HMS Broadsword, another Falkland veteran.

The intention is also to do a version of HMS Hermes, but I still haven't found good detailed drawings.

Thanks Rick,

I hadn't seen the seaforces site - nice pictures there :D I wonder if I should invest in the Jecobin plan - there are quite some details to model on that ship. No easy to model stealth design...

I had started on Hermes a while back using a set of plans I had (before I got distracted and moved onto other things). Before you go buying up any plans.....let me have a dig on a hard drive...if I’ve still got them I’ll send them on to you.

cheers

Hi
That would be fantastic if you still have them. Since we wrote together last time I managed to find some decent plans of the Round Table class, so that one i will reinitialize. On an Argentinian site I also found an original GA plan for the Type 42 in case you would like that one.

Hi Henrik,

Check your PMs a set of plans for Hermes should come through...they aren't great as they are sectioned up (I got photocopies from a modelmaker who was building Hermes)...I 'welded' the individual images together in photoshop to get a sort-of complete plan. I can't find my welded image but i've sent you the original set - hopefully these might help.

Type 42 plans would help to double check what i've built so far especially if they have the complete hull:



And i've got something else in the pipeline:




All the best,

Gary

Absolutely excellent - plan received :jump: And the two ladies look great! We should soon have the whole collection. I will forward the plan of the Type 42 in PM. It doesn't have the hull lines as the typical model building plans, but it appears to be an original General Arrangement with both below and above the surface. I also have another a smaller scale with part of the line structure.

Maybe a daft question but will these work in P3D v4.5?
Click to expand...

Both the new models we are working on and the recently released package has been done to work in FSX as well as all versions of P3D. However, that also means that we have not added v4 specific things like PBR.
 
Slowly getting there... Today working on how to wrap a Chinook...

No ships on Great Lakes

Henrik, the ships are wonderful. A few years ago I told you about using ARS4 radar by Dietmar Loleit with my Lockheed patrol plane as a means of locating shipping. I recently deleted everything from earlier downloads and got the complete V2 package from Simviation. I have found that there are absolutely none of your ships on the Great Lakes. I have flown a number of searches from Duluth, Thunder Bay, Cleveland, Toledo etc. Nothing shows on the radar and a visual search confirms it. Using the ship locator fails to produce anything. The bgl files are in place and the ships are in the boat directory. I can see plenty of ships everywhere else. Running AIFP3 looking for FS9 files showed nothing and, anyway, wouldn't those files block everything, not just one area? I do have other AI files in the sim but removed them and the Lakes are still empty.
This must be my local problem. All I am asking here is if anyone who has downloaded the latest V2 from Simviation can verify Lakes traffic.
As the pope said to Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel, "When will you make an end?"

Are you sure you don't have an old FS9 style traffic bgl hidden somewhere - either among the other traffic files in the scenery/world/scenery or eventually included in some local add-on scenery. As the rest of your ships display I am almost certain that is the problem. A local FS9 file with traffic in just a limited area will only cause a problem when it is loaded while flying in that area. You should have plenty of shipping on the lakes and now with the new update also a decent shipping on the Mississipi and a few other rivers.

...

Another subject... Work on the Falkland package continues... Today my first plane... Obviously as a shipbuilder my plane will never fly, but it should become a nice eye candy on the HMS Hermes and the Atlantic Conveyor...

Henrik at my age I'm not sure of anything! But I did run the AIFP3. I do have Aerosoft My Traffic 13 installed. No baddies there, none I could see.
Well, obviously it is in my corner. I will proceed from here.
Nice looking jet you have on the boards. I like the UK ship Cornwall, did a lot of work for the UK navy on her and also the Iron Duke.
Thanks for the reply. I will find that pesky FS9 file somehow.
