Ferries
With the use of five custom-made ferry models, a full Caledonian MacBrayne ferry service is provided to all the ferry terminals in the Western Isles area together with a daily freight service from Stornoway to Ullapool; the Hebridean Princess cruise ship also completes a daily round trip between Stornoway and Castlebay. These services replace the FSX default ferries in the area. All other default ferry services, outwith the Western Isles area, will sail as normal. Installation of ferry traffic is included as an optional feature in addition to the static scenery features.
