Hi,I answered this over at the product forums. Check there!

Im still answering questions in the AVSIM TEMP forums too so you can find information there as wellI just found out the primary forum is back up

Is this product worth buying?I use previous UT X and I am very satisfied - one have to install and have all the needed schedules out of the box, I haven't noticed float-planes on hard-surfaced runways (as in other AI products) and so on...

Ultimate Traffic X is a modification of the FS2004 product to work in FSX.Ultimate Traffic 2 is a completely new from the ground up product - taking the lessons learned from UT and building.Where UTX has FS2004 aircraft models, UT2 has new or completely rebuilt models which are fully FSX SP2 compliant.That is the one warning I have - if you are not using FSX with SP2 (Acceleration counts as SP2) - this is not a product for you.

This means 'Go For It' for me. The only think I missed was a better airliners models.Thanks for a quick response

How does this compare with TrafficX or Mt5.2?

How does this compare with TrafficX or Mt5.2?

I can only speak for MT5.2. Loved that and thought it was 'better' back then when I first bought it compared to what else was available. But have to admit that UT2 raised the bar. Installation is a flawless 1-click and no tampering with scenery indexes a la MT. The user interface - if you need it at all - is just fine and much 'rounder' than the DOS style oldish looking MT GUI but that's - like everything else - a very personal feeling. Aircraft models and textures are better and nonetheless not more or even less frame rate hungry than MT. I can have the commercial traffic set higher (at 95%) than with MT and still get at least the same performance. But with UT2 I have also the GA traffic at 60%. In short: I love it (though some more last tests are outstanding, US airports and a 'real' flight from A to :(, see also my post in the prelim AVSIM forum (as LH4371) at My other post.Phil

You can set the traffic slider higher not because the models are less frame rate hungry, but because MTX adds lots more companies and flightplans, and populates more 2.000 airports than UT 2. Cheers.

I already own MT 5.2 and TrafficX...is UT2 a worthy "upgrade"?

I don't own it yet, but the fact that UT2 has traffic that actually flies routes via published airways and navaids is enough to convince me.The fact that it ships with good looking AI models is a plus too. Replacing the PAI models of the original UT was a huge undertaking.Regards,Nick

I currently run TrafficX and there is little or no active support nor patching etc.The UT forums, conversely, are always very active and its coders open to communication. As a former UTX owner, this community support and forum presence is the clincher in pitching TrafficX overboard.

Bit the bullet and committed...should rock.

I'd say yes. But you can check yourself, Flight1 gives a 30 days return period if I am correct. Just try it and then decide. You can easily disable MT traffic by deselecting the scenery entry, install and test UT2 and then activate MT traffic again in the scenery.Phil

You are so right, forgot that as one of the major selling points to me. 'Real' flightplans you can even change! no direct point to point route...Phil

You tell me. Curious to hear your feedback. Phil
