Hi Michael,
Just to make sure you haven't missed the ships moving........At Sitka, you need to make sure you are looking at the right ships and at the right time. There is a cruise ship (not part of TFAISP) in the harbor that is part of TFX and only moves at certain times per the TFX manual. There are 3 TFAISP ships that initiate just southwest of Sitka at the opening of Sitka Sound into the Gulf of Alaska. Since these 3 ships iniate at this location (the Jade, Misty Cruise and a tanker)...they are not always seen moving in this area. Sometimes they just sit there. Set your GMT to 2002 hours and check them out. All 3 should be starting their movement then so they will still be in the area.
If you want to check out all of the TFAISP ships in the larger TFX area and beyond quickly, I suggest getting Google Earth Tracker
http://fsxget.codeplex.com/ (if you don't have it), which is a free download and shows all of the FSX AI overlaid on the Google Earth Map moving in real time.
This may or may not be of help...just wanted to make sure you were looking at the right time at the right ships.
