FINALLY!!!

I've been waiting for this until I started my new career. Thank you so much; now the Canal is perfect!

Yes indeed. The major canals all cross land that varies in height, so they have locks at each end (and sometimes more in the middle). It doesn't seem possible to have working gates and changing water levels, so this at least represents going through them. I always slow to 1 knot and pretend I'm waiting for the water levels to change. Even if you don't do that, this represents a major breakthrough in realism when transitting the Canal.
