December 15, 200916 yr Hi!Is it possible to twek FS9.1 to make AI traffic take off faster.Now, the default is when it's cleared for take off the AI traffic accelerate a bit, then stops a while, then full throttle...That delays incoming traffic and many (not all of course) short final AI are forced to turn around.Is it possible to change that in order to make AI-traffic take holding position and then immidiately take off???Best regards Artur Scholl
December 15, 200916 yr Hi Gatesession There's a pair of freeware programs you might want to try to help you out there. The first is AISmooth. What this does is issue ATC Instructions to approaching aircraft to make them separate further for finals, and this value (in nm, of course) is completely adjustable from its menu. It not only helps your AI space out more but issues orders to AI to enter holding patterns if it sees a conflict with you (as in, if a bloody Ryanair decides to jump the landing queue as used to happen to me :( ). This won't help with aircraft on the ground but the second application will do something about that. it's FS9 Configurator. There are a lot of options with this one, but the one you'll be interested in is "AI Taxi Speed Editor", which can increase the slow crawl of AI Taxiing to something a bit more realistic (from like 15 to 30 kts). You can change the runway roll-off speed too if you're landing at an airfield where aircraft will need to backtrack along a runway to turn-off or where the high-speeds are fairly spaced out, and the quicker they can get off the runway, the less often your newly spaced AI will go-around. As for the 'start-stop-wait-full throttle', I dunno if I can help you with that as I believe it's to do with the in-built ATC, but the above should ease your headaches somewhat :( Andy McIntyre
