This scenery pack overhauls your experience of Perth, covering the waterline all the way from Two Rocks north of the city down to Wannanup some 70km further south. Experience a busy harbour, a lively city leisure boating scene at Melville water or local ferries zipping back and forth between Fremantle, Perth City and Rottnest Island.
Containing almost 8,000 static and animated vessels we have carefully recreated the many marinas in and around the area which includes a variety of sailing clubs, industrial areas and HMAS Stirling naval base. HMAS Stirling is home to a number of Anzac Class Frigates of the Royal Australian Navy and you will find these patrolling the coast. Each of these have helidecks and for an extra challenge you will be able to land on them too. Head to the Western Australia Maritime Museum in Fremantle to find one of Australia's earliest submarine's, HMAS Ovens in her resting place. Well over 100 leisure boats of all types work their way from Two Rocks down to Wannaup and Mandurah in the south, bringing the area to life. Further offshore you will find a variety of cargo and utility ships en route to their various destinations. The scenery includes a range of minor fixes including raised bridges and various water fixes.
Note: The free Vessels Core library is required. The Contrail App will install this automatically for you.

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago nestled just 67 miles off the Northwest coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. They consist of the main islands of Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, La Palma and Tenerife but also include the less visited destinations of La Graciosa, La Gomera and El Hierro. There is rich nautical history here too. The port of San Sebastian la Gomera was the last stopping place of Christopher Columbus on his first transatlantic voyage in 1492. Today it is a port of call for the Fred Olsen Benchi Express, a small catamaran ferry that serves the various destinations on the island. El Hierro, also known as Ferro once served as the prime meridian, as it was the most westerly place known to ancient geographers.
Today the Islas Canarias (as they are known in Spain) are a bustling tourist destination with Tenerife and Gran Canaria being busy maritime hubs for cargo and cruise shipping as well as offshore oil drilling operations. You will find all of that represented in this scenery with the ports of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria being especially alive with nautical traffic.
The scenery includes many ferries from the various operators in this area with all but one (the little Benchi Express) having helidecks that you can land on as they move from port to port. We have also included landable, moving supply ships, cruise ships, drilling ships and a semi-submersible oil platform (that is being towed) to maximise your helicopter fun (see map below for starting locations of these).
Note: The free Vessels Core library is required. The Contrail App will install this automatically for you.
Tips:
- Set ground wind to 3m/s (7 knots) or above for the more realistic waves and wakes.
- Adjusting the time slightly can reload the boat traffic fully if it seems too low on first starting a flight (known MSFS bug).
Features:
- PBR models
- Night lighting
- Animated vessels
- Wake and smoke VFX
- Several moving, landable ships!
