@abaileyatd...

Awesome thank you for your addition. Yes there are the white buoys we need to stay away from when navigating and yes they have bell tones.

As far as lighthouses and light ships I was going to save those for a coastal navigation video I was going to make. But yes they are navigation points.

You did make a great point, I can’t remember if this is all ports but I do know Wilhelmshaven is wrong in the lights. It’s back wards! The red buoys should be switched with the green ones! I did not think of that but you are right.

And no the AI ships are basically scripted and do their own thing. Which is why commanders should be on the bridge when navigating harbors even with harbor pilot activated. I don’t know how many times I had to break hard to port/starboard because of this. Thank you!

Maybe all of the commanders here at subsim could chime in and tell us if the harbor buoys are wrong in different ports?
