MSFS Global AI Ship Traffic FSX, P3D and MSFS2020

The "MSC": Finally I am able to count the co(u)ntainers unless there is a cut inside a film documentation.... What a huge monster....

Henrik, this looks like shots from a stunning ship simulator. Wonderful!


From mobile hence short

This really looks very realistic, even more so than in P3D.
Excellent work Henrik

This fleet just looks great.
And yes containers count on the MSC Leni
Continued success

Once again I have delayed the launch, but the fleet is growing - around 200 new ships between repaints and new models... Main reason for the delay is that I am updating all models with light effects at the same time as the wakes. I had some issues with Blender not displaying what you see in the sim... but slowly getting there.

Your ships are pretty much the only reason I ever start MSFS up. If only airborne AI could be so good. Actually, if only airborne AI could work at all!

 

[Hans B]

Good to see

 

[manschy]

Hihi - or "good to sea"

 

[gavinc]

When are you going to stop posting photos of real ships and start showing us your models ??????

Really looking forward to your update Henrik and we really appreciate all of your hard work.

Your new nightlighting artwork looks - as always - incredible KL791

QUESTION: Have you ever considered creating your own stand-alone SHIP-Simulator?
(instead of continue to add your awesome and beautifull artwork into somebody elses FLIGHT-simulator)?

it is all AI Traffic, not sailable

No, I am not a programmer; most of all I use modelling to relax. Right now sitting with a dog sleeping on my feets adding a new ro/ro ferry to the fleet... And as Marc says this whole project is conceived as AI - models have become more detailed over the years as the sims and my skills evolved, but still this is not done for being really close.

Long time since last real update... But now we have some news.... We are going real time. Together with Kai from AIG we have managed to get the first 57 ships - the total fleet of the passenger and freight ferry operator DFDS - into the sim real time. DFDS provided both AIS data and documentation to model their ships and after some intensive work, where I have added models while Kai worked on the injection, we are now so far that we can show screenshots from the test run.

The real time version means that ships will dock in harbors and behave much more realistic and be in the right places. And while the DFDS package is our proof of concept we have something much bigger brewing, but will let you know in due time.

In addition to the real time we will also up our fleet with a bunch of new models including e.g. fishing boats for the North Sea, Pacific and Indian Ocean but also in collaboration with the German Sea Rescue DGzRS their fleet of coastal rescue boats.

Wow , that's exciting news Henrik. Awesome work

Awesome! Just another step closer to your own SHIP simulator inside MSFS2020 ;-)

Hello Henrik,
these are very interesting news (I still have a rescue cruiser of the DGzRS to give away ).

I just hope that MS/ASOBO don't ruin all your work when they start to make the announced changes to the water and bathemetry.

By the way, have you found a way to eliminate the circling of the ships at the mooring points?

I think more than just the rescue cruise of your fleet will be included and yes, with the real time version we kill the circling, however, we still have some issues when the ships do a 180 degrees turn to dock as the data we receive has gaps. But already it is much, much better.

Impressive performance, unique what you have created!

The DFDS real time is progressing - beta works nicely - now I will get to do some modelling this weekend to complete the fleet and then we are very close. Next, together with AIG and new partners we are starting on a development project to take the whole project to the next level.
