Tips:
Set Ship and Ferry Traffic to 10% or more for the best results.
Set Ground Wind Speed to 3 m/s (7 knots) or above for the best wake effects.
Due to a bug in the sim that prevents traffic from loading fully, we recommend changing the time slightly when the flight loads. This will force all the boat traffic to reload properly.
