AI Traffic arrivals...

[Ultrasweatproof 0]

Hey everyone. With a new video card I can run Cloud 9's KLAX with 100% AI Traffic with just about every AI Package that serves LAX. I use AI Smooth to try and manage the traffic but.......at around 6:30 during rush hour, one plane lands about every 5 minutes. I look in the AI Smooth manager to see what the traffic is doing and about 30 planes are destined for 24R within a 30 nm radius. Meanwhile they all appear like fireflies over KLAX and the surrounding area. My question is , is there anyway that I can configure the AI with any programs to stack the AI aircraft behind eachother on final like in real life. 1 landing every 5 min is a little low imo. Or is this just impractical to run 100% AI Traffic in fs9? Thanks.

Have you tried changing the settings in AISmooth? You can control the spacing between incoming flights. It has been quite a while since I set mine up but I think you have to expereiment to see how close together you could get your planes before ATC starts to issue go arounds. Check the docs, I seem to recall some tips about setup in there. R-

How do you check at 6:30? Do you load the sim at 6:25? That's gonna take a while for the traffic to settle down. Try loading at 6, then go do something else and look at 6:30. They should be coming in more than once every five minutes. Even with default AI Smooth settings.You should always give the sim time to spawn the traffic, before you spot or go fly yourself. If you're doing that already, try changing settings.FS will only take so much abuse though. It wasn't designed for 100% traffic. ;-D
