This file contains visual effects necessary for the GAIST Great Lakes V2_1 in case you do not have the main package Global AI Ship Traffic installed. This file only contains the effects. You must download the GAIST Great Lakes package separately to have the models and ship traffic for the Great Lakes.

This file provides AI ship traffic on the Great Lakes of North America. The file contains models of great number of the ships sailing the Great Lakes including both oldies likes SS Alpena and SS Badger - some of the oldest ship still active on the Great Lakes - and the largest ones like the more than 1000 foot long Paul R Tregurtha, Mesabi Miner, American Spirit, Indiana Harbor and more. There is also Coast Guard vessels from both the US and Canada and several minor ferries especially in the area around the Mackinaw bridge. The GAIST Great Lakes Ship Traffic V2_1 is an extension to the Global AI Ship Traffic project. NOTICE: If you do not have the Global AI Ship Traffic - GAIST Ultra V3.0 or higher installed you will need to install also GAIST Great Lakes Visual Effects in order to see wakes and smoke on ships.

This is Version 3.0 of the Global AI Ship Traffic Ultra. More than 400 new ships have been added since the last version bringing the number of unique ship models close to 900 and the number of ships including repaints close to 1800. The route coverage has been expanded increasing traffic density though the focus is as usual to have diverse ship traffic according to what you could see in each region. To reduce the load on computer systems, the ship routes have in this version been included as separate regional packages, so you only need to install the routes in the area where you intend to fly. Also, the ship models have been prepared to work with a future Real Time Version of the project under development. Among the new models in this version are several new cruise ships, and different types of fishing boats complementing the existing fleet of regional fishing vessels from around the world. Also, the increasing number of ultra-large container ships is reflected with new models and the fleet of oil and gas tankers expanded, and a number of ferries have been included in particular in the Pacific North West and in North Europe. More than a hundred ferry routes are covered with their specific ferries, and you will find naval exercises with Navy ships from most regions. Watch a full-scale NATO landing exercise on the West Coast of the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark or the Brazilian or Chinese navies doing the same in their respective areas. Watch the departure of a Tall Ship race from Saint-Malo, Kiel, or Sandefjord or an around-the-world sail race departing from Gothenburg... Go looking for Maersk Alabama in the exact spot she was attacked by pirates on the coast of Somalia as later depicted in the movie Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks. More than 40.000 ship movements ensure that the sea is no longer empty.

To install please unzip and drop the included files in your Community folder. You must as a minimum have the folder GAIST Ultra, which contains all ships, and one route package installed, but you can choose to have one or several route packages installed depending on where you fly. Ensure your traffic settings for Ships and Ferries are 5-10% to avoid conflicts with other AI ship traffic including default. The route packages are Gaist-Africa-Routes – including routes covering Africa's East and West Coast Gaist-Mediterranean-Routes - including routes covering the Mediterranean Sea, the North Coast of Africa, and the Black Sea Gaist-Euwest-Routes - including routes covering Western Europe from Gibraltar to Arkhangelsk Gaist-IndianOcean-Routes - including routes covering from Suez Channel through the Red Sea and over the Arabian Gulf to India's East Coast Gaist-Asia-Routes - including routes covering East Asian waters from Malacca Strait to Japan Gaist-Latam-Routes - including routes covering Latin American coasts Gaist-NorthAmericaCaribbean-Routes - including routes covering the Caribbean Sea, Mexican Gulf, and US and Canadian East and West Coast Gaist-AustraliaOceania-Routes - including routes covering Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania Some longer routes pass from one region to another so you might see more traffic by having neighboring packages installed.

FSX Patch For 130 AI Ships And AI Ship Traffic (130_AI_SHIPS_AND_AI_SHIP_TRAFFIC.ZIP). This is a small patch for four of the AI ship models included in "130 AI ships and AI Ship Traffic". It corrects two texture issues on two ships and two minor modeling issues on two other ships. The ships in this package are complete, so they can also be used for creating your own AI ship traffic, but this package does not include any AI routes. You can find appropriate AI traffic files for these ships in "130 AI ships and AI Ship traffic". Most models included have hard surface helipads. By Henrik Nielsen.

FSX 63 AI Ships And AI Ship Traffic files. Plenty of good designers have created beautiful navy ships and aircraft carriers for FSX, but only a few have created container ships, tankers, off-shore supply ships, tugs, or bulk carriers and put them to sail around the globe in FSX. This package is intended to fill a part of this gap and to bring more life to the mostly empty oceans in FSX by providing AI ships and AI traffic files with a fleet of modern merchant ships travelling through some of the most heavily trafficked sea routes in the world. The pack contains 63 AI ships based on more than 35 different Gmax models. Around one third are equipped with landable helicopter decks. Most ships have simple animations like rotating radar and most have custom light, smoke and wake effects. The pack also contains traffic files for the east coast of South America and the coasts of North West Europe. In South America ships visit Belem, Sao Louis, Natal, Recife, Salvador, Macae, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Florianopolis, Pelotas, Porto Alegre, Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Puerto Madryn. In Europe ships visit Gibraltar, Algeciras, Lissabon, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Saint Nazaire, Brest, Le Havre, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Thamesport, Felixstowe, Bremerhaven, Hamburg, Esbjerg, Oslo, Aarhus, Copenhagen and St. Petersburg.
