Global Classic A.I. Ship Traffic V1, Ship Locator
Posted: 08 Apr 2021, 15:12
The other day I spotted an FSX utility on simviation.com. This utility, by Carl Vokes, allows you to locate vessels in Henrik Nielsen's Global Classic A.I. Ship add-on.
The utility uses Google Earth. When you launch the utility Google Earth opens and you can see various ship routes from around the globe. In particular I wanted to find the infamous ship 'Flying Enterprise'. I found this ship sailing on route 3001 from Liverpool.

From there I opened the Liverpool Route 3001 file and found that the ship departed Liverpool today at 13:04.

After positioning my trusty hovercraft in the middle of the Mersey I soon saw a ship approaching billowing plenty of black smoke...I knew it had to be her.
Sure enough the 'Flying Enterprise' sailed past, began doing some crazy spinning maneuvers, and then sailed on.
