New tool for managing AI traffic...get it at http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...wnloads_sdk.asp

Ahhh, cool news. I am a MyTraffic 2004 user, currently running their 1.1 SP Beta. The makers(and users on their forum) of MT2004 have been getting impatient waiting for this SDK to come out so that new features of FS2004 AI Traffic could be implemented and 1.1 SP could finally be released and have the new features included in it!Jim

Hi, Don`t forget to put the *.dll in your fs2004module folder and it's enable the traffic map, explorer etc. It run in windowed mode.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Sure would have been helpful, if they had included some documentation with it. I've been playing around with it, hoping the assigning runways feature might overcome that 'crossing runways' problem, but no luck so far. What does the 'distance' check box do? John

AFAIK this SDK basically is just Traffic Tools without the GUI. Not really that useful.The runway problems and other serious problems is for the ATC SDK whenever that comes out I think. Maybe an Airport SDK :)One bright star in this would be the AI View dll though.

Yeah, I had already come to that conclusion. I've just been trying to figure out what all the check boxes in the dll are all about. However, it did mention runway assignments. That would be a useful feature, if it does exist. John

The Explorer tool is quite useful - lets you see when AI are to depart and shows up aircraft 'sleeping' for a long time. Shame this stuff cannot be run on a separate machine using Wide FS.Andy b

Andy,Pete Dowson has a free utility called TrafficLook that shows almost the same information as the AI Explorer program from Microsoft. The cool part is it does run over WideFS.It's contained in the FSUIPC download zip file. Check it out.http://www.schiratti.com/files/dowson/FSUI...imestamp=180204Bruce

Howdy,So the AI Traffic Map can only be brought up in windowed mode? Bugger; previous editions could be viewed "in cockpit". Not everyone flies in window mode :-(
