• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Adding leisure boat traffic?

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask, but I'm trying to add leisure boat traffic to an island that does not have any. I thought that leisure boats are part of the Living World concept in FSX, bu apparently it does not automatically add them around my island.

Is there some way I can add the leisure boats to the scenery?
 
You must have the deluxe version of FSX - so you can use the SDK.

You could also use my livingworld program on my site.
 
I think, from memory that the pleasure boats are randomly generated based on the population density bgl....they don't follow paths, just move around.
Edit: This from the Living world part of the SDK:

"The InlandBoats section contains details on the recreational boat traffic that will appear in coastal waters and inland lakes. The amount of boat traffic will depend on the size of the body of water, and is scaled by the size of the local population"

Hmm...so if you are on an island out on the coast, maybe you will need to generate your own shipping AI rather than relying on the living world boats?
 
Thanks to both of you for the help!

It seems now that its probably the population density that is causing no boats or other traffic appear.


EDIT: I locally edited the population density and the boats are now showing!
