Is it possible to script harbor traffic to follow a narrow path , IE following a navigation path thru a channel ?

Yes. Its a bit tricky because somethimes the ai tend to get stuck, but with patience and a lot of testing everything is possible. And now we have buoys.. getting out and in the port with tc1 is just awesome.

@LtzS_Petersen
Im using IALA A for Europe and IALA B for US.. not sure about the last part, but now Ive got more people willing to help with the campaign, maybe we can rework the US ports too. Thank you all for the help, much appreciated.

That will be perfect.

The Sands in Sobers Pictures are perfect for some Danger Buoys.

Will the Position of the Buoys shown in the Map too?

As far as i remember a friend of mine saying, US buoy system is different than the one for the rest of the world. I don't know if it already was during WW2, but i think it was.
Difference is, (afair) that the direction of the path is different. If in europe red buoys are on the port side of the ship when entering harbour, it would be red buoys on the starboard side of the ship when entering harbour in US.
I have no direct source for this, but it might be worth to search for some maps.

Thats correct.. IALA A and IALA B, see me post on the top of this page. Is what I will use in the game in every major port.

B.t.w.: Funny Vid of your Buoys.

But nice work.
They moving not so heavy, cause their gravity Center ist low (due to the Chain or Steel Cable at the ground Weight of 3 Tons).
