• 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.

Mobius,

From the screen shots I'd have to say that this is a pretty ambitious project for your first time building a movable and I assume land able AI ship. I don't have any experience with FSDS but have built a naval ship in gMax. I stared by just building a stationary landing platform (for helos) - once I learned that I built a small boxy Canadian DD with a helicopter flight deck.

Once you have your model built you can just look into the FSX Simobjects Boats folder to see how to set it up as an AI boat.

The easy part is actually getting the thing to sail around. There is a AI boats conversion program that lets you use GoogleEarth to set up your routes. There is a tutorial that explains it all - fairly easy. However, as I started out saying, the tough part is making the model - sounds like that is where you are now

Hope that is some help - good luck. :)
