Kiel canal traffic ...

is there a mod that has traffic actually movin' through the canal as apposed to just sittin' idol

No. The low-pixel way in which terrain is managed in SH3, added to the collision-avoidance program, means that every time you passed a ship it would turn and run into the shore and catch fire. It could only be fixed by making the Canal ten times as wide as it really is.

Did you know that there is no Kiel Canal in stock SH3? The Canal itself is a mod.

I'm glad there isn't traffic. The mentioned avoidance AI sometimes has the ship back up quickly right across your path. With no room to maneuver, you'd never make it out of the canal, keep having to go back for repairs.
