2024 works slightly differently and the 2020 version of this mod twitches like mad and you will now slide off the boats rather than land nicely. You'll need this completely separate version for 2024. 

The 2024 version is still compiled in 2020, but it needs the appropriate tweaks to make it work again. 

If you plan on doing lots of landings in 2024, you may not have a lot of fun. The way an aircraft reacts to ship movements with the waves is crude at best. The game's deveopers have said they're looking into it. 

Moving boats are good for you. This has been scientifically proven. By scientists.

This is library of 3d model boats that move ready to put into your projects. This is nothing like the Seafront Simulations and Global AI shipping mods as the included routes are nothing more than simple loops. 

If you want something fancier then you can create your own routes and place them in them. 

This was originally a small bunch of models with hard coded animated paths. They're still in there, but they're now pretty redundant. It's now largely a bunch of scenery object models and simobjects that are placed in worldscripts. 

There are now over 200 ships of varying types - cargo, fishing, leisure, naval, workboat, rowing boats and more. Most of these boats have light, wakes, pisspoor smoke effects and are landable if they have a landing pad. 

Each watercraft has its own worldscript ready to place but the routes aren't v exciting. Creating more excitement is on you. 

There are two items in this download so click again to get the actual package - 'boat-library-moving'

The second bit is for developers with various instructions on how to mess with these in your own projects in a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. 

The majority of the boats are static scenery models with an extra simobject to make them move, so they will be placable as regular scenery objects if you're not in the mood for going from A to B.

V 1.3 2020 and v 1.1 2024

Lots of consolidation in these updates, so please delete the old version. 

Adds - more aircraft carriers and other navy ships, more fishing boats, more racing boats, more animated people floating around such as gigs and paddleboards, more props to go with the aircraft carriers and no doubt many other things I've forgotten. 

Updates the developers section with some new information.
