George.. it'd be nice to have Invince sat in 3 Basin where yours is :thumbsup:

Ben.. I don't have any other scenery than what you already know mate. It's possible I dragged those dark grey thingies over from the last install but I definitely don't have any addon scenery to put them there :dunno: I'll have to take a look at Clemenceau again to see what her escort ship is but for sure, Clemenceau's traffic file wouldn't have put ships in Pompey harbour *-)

Hi Ben..

Through a process of elimination.. eg, by disabling everything in the scenery library 8) I found it's EarthSim IOS Maritime Traffic adding those ships to Pompey :-O You must have IoS on your system so I don't know why you're not seeing them too. Wonder if ORBX FTX England polluted the IoS? It shouldn't have done because I did a repair and reinstall direct from ES :dunno:

I don't have anything from earthsim matey, other than vol 8 GenX which I bought from their site. ;)

Well, stone the crows :lol:

Start saving and get IOS, Alderney and GUE. Just remember not to add ES-IOS-Maritime Traffic ;)

Thinking about it, there must be a way for me to utilize it by changing those Yankee bits of do-dar and the rather fine Merchant Ship for something else. *-)

I don't think you'll find that FTX pollutes anything, Dave. 98% of it is contained in a dedicated ORBX folder, 1% is two files for each scenery area in the scenery/world/scenery folder clearly marked ORBX and 1% are desktop icons.

The official uninstall procedure is simply to switch FTX Central to default, delete the folder, files and icons and it's all gone.

It's OK, I know you won't believe them and are convinced that they are part of a conspiracy to destroy your flight simulator and that I have been brainwashed into being a subversive agent on their behalf undermining and eroding your pristine coastlines and scuttling your battle fleet. So the cold war continues and the B52s are still at Defcon 2 in the event that your side ever get an armed Vulcan into the air :lol:

I was thinking of sending them over to flatten Pompey, but looking at your pics it seems somebody beat me to it! :lol:

You ought to have seen Pompey in FTX England mate.. it NEEDED flattening :lol:

Interestingly, just having had a look in the IOS BTX folder (Maritime Traffic) the bgl says Plymouth-Ships.bgl. There are no ships in Plymouth from what I've seen but plenty in Portsmouth :dunno:

And let's not forget Ben's cocktail snorkers. We don't mind telling it 'like it is' here mate :thumbsup:

Further to my last.. I renamed Plymouth-Ships.bgl to 'bak' and reinitiated ES-IOS-Maritime Traffic and those pesky Yank ships remain gone :rock:

Now.. to populate Pompey with REAL ships, and ones that won't kill our pc's *-)

I'm still finding it difficult to believe that ES IOS could do that to Pompey.. what's the point? :dunno: At times like these, I wish I knew more about bgl's :(

I had the IOS boat traffic inhibited which is why I didn't see the other ships.

Plymouth-Ships.bgl just contains placement of default ships.
