AI Traffic

All stock sceneries contain AI traffic at sea and also inside the harbors.

Our AI captains are trained on a quite low level. Don’t expect complex collision avoidance performance. You can use the radar system together with the CPA warning feature to get aware of danger close traffic in an early phase. In case the AI traffic is getting close you should use the horn of the ship in order to make the AI captain aware about your presence. The AI traffic will the hold the position for a certain amount of time, allowing you to finish your maneuver.

Stranded vehicles

It might happen that an AI captain loses control over his vessel and gets stuck close to the coast line. If this happens, it might be necessary to support the AI ship with a tug mission.

Request to support with a tug mission on the next harbor, once you are close to the stranded vessel with an appropriate tug boat.

Note: the actions are described by using the default key assignments. On most actions there can also be a controller button/axis assigned or you can click the respective button/monitor/control unit directly
