With my Traffic X 5.4a do you set the default fsx traffic to 0?

I have both, but have installed mtx because there are one thing that ut2 will never have: the support and the attention that Mr. Burkhard put in his product.

If you want real schedules and exactly right airlines at right airports buy Ultimate Traffic 2 as all its schedules are real ones I think.

 

Mytraffic has mostly right airlines at right airports, however you will also spot some that do not belong there at all, for example I did spot KLM 747 at airport in Pyongyang, North Korea, so also there is often something that doesn't belong there. On the other hand as My Traffic uses more generic flight plans with many airlines it allows Mytraffic to have also airlines with no proper route data available, such as many smaller cargo and charter airlines, so you will get more different airlines with Mytraffic although not exactly real routes.

 

But mostly those routes and airlines at airports are still believable.

 

I chose Mytraffic as I simply want as much traffic as possible and don't care too much if some routes are not operated IRL. I always enjoy seeing all kinds of smaller and less known airlines with often interesting fleet.

If I go with MTX, how easy is it to change flights into an airport?

 

Can I specify number and type of GA aircraft at a particular airport?

 

Personally, I don't see much point in purchasing AI. WOAI, despite using FS2004 models, looks great, and runs just fine.

 

I used WOAI in the past but you have to convert all of them to SP2 format otherwise you'll get invisible plane and parts, and sometimes no shadows... When I used them installation was not easy and took a while... I never did convert them... I'd rather pay for simplicity.

I went ahead and purchased MTX... it seems to be the more popular version....

 

Hopefully it does what I want hehe.

 

EDIT: Installed etc... huge fps hit vs no AI... Even at MSP (with jim vile adex) with 60% airliners and 40% GA my fps were cut in half (probably more). I lock @ 30 with default c172 and now they are at 15... ick! I was hoping to maintain 25....

 

Also something annoying that ATC won't say FLAGSHIP, a common callsign for pinnacle CRJ's around my neck of the woods. You'd think a payware package would have that added.. And I've got AI departing the opposite ends of the runway...

 

Am I expecting too much? Also, there's hardly any planes on the other side of the terminal...

 

I use UT2...the only thing that bugs me is the lose of traffic when you need to go into a menu. The thing I love about it is the AI flys actually flight plans instead of point to point routes...its common to get AI passing you in the opposite direction, or to have a companion AI flying the same airway as you at a different altitude.

 

Any AI seems to have a hit on performance. I get around 20-25fps in the NYC area with no addons (just AFCADs), and UT2 at 100%..I'm on an i7-2600k @ 3.4GHz.

Well, I personally don't find MTX better on frames as several said in this thread so that doesn't surprise me. I found overall performance at comparable levels to be 3-5 FPS less with MTX.

 

You should of gotten UT2 first because you can return it within 30 days, no questions asked with Flight1's policy. That way if you didn't like it then you could go to MTX and get your money back on UT2.

 

I'd suggest turning shadows off. You won't miss them as much as you think and it'll help because it's having to draw shadows for all those planes.

 

Also, make sure you don't have it setup so jetways connect to AI aircraft (this can be adjusted in the configuration program). That's a huge FPS killer.

 

You should be getting better frames with that system. Are you using BP=0 tweak? In comparable situations such as your screenshot I'm getting 25-30 FPS with a nearly identical system (actually my ATI 6950 is not as good of a card as your 570).

Take a look at the program "communicator". In there, there's the "Aircraft Config Editor". The option that especially saves my frame rates is "Enable Exits for Ground Animation". Make sure that option is UNCHECKED.

 

As for procedures, the AI is terrible. I use the program "AI Smooth" to keep the airports from being too much of a cluster ****.

 

Lastly, I use custom AFCADs for airports I'm familiar with. This way I have correct parking, taxiing, etc. I know you've got some experience with this.

That was a good idea hehe... rats! Live and learn I guess...

It helped a little... maybe a 2-3 fps gain... so I avg 18 ish in the same situation.

 

I'm using the BP=0 /Affin mask 14+ with locked in-game fps of 30. It has given me the least stutters with all settings in the past.

Ouch...that's a pretty heavy framerate hit. Someday I'd like to get a traffic program but, as tired as I am of "World Travel" and "Orbix" (or whatever it is) I'd rather have the smooth framerates.

Well something's up because others aren't having the same issues.

 

About disabling the exits in their config program... I uncheck it, then select for all MyTraffic, but when I exit then reenter the program the box is checked again. Perhaps it's not working?

 

In the .cfg here's what I'm seeing... shouldn't the exits = 2 be commented out?

 

[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
//exit.0 = 0.4,  25.8, -8.5,  7.8, 0  
//exit.1 = 0.4, -26.50, 5.85, 3.0, 1

Ryan - MTX injects a hugh number of AI aircraft at a given FSX traffic slider than usual. Setting commercial at 60% is too high....try a setting closer to 20% (yes, 20%). You'll still see lots of planes in the air and at the airport.

 

Get used to low slider settings injecting more traffic than you're used to...and I've tried WOAI, TrafficX and MTX and now use only MTX. A plus is more realistic strobes on the AI.

Oh? So MTX injects much more traffic than even UT2? I'll try 20% ai and 20% ga....

 

So yeah obviously fps are better... but really 20% is far too low for big airports (for realism). Here's FSDT's KDFW with first 20% airliners then 60%...

 

KDFW (FSDreamTeam addon)

 

 

 

I agree that 100% would be too busy... and obviously during rush times some airports are fairly empty but 60% is a reasonable level and still a massive fps hit on my end...

 

I wonder if the nvidia inspector settings are the culprit... I've got 8xS + 2xSGSS AA and 16x AF set... Ground shadows are off as well as airplane exits apparently disabled.

 

EDIT: Anyway I'm just gonna live with the fps hit @ 60%... it looks cool, and strangely enough the C172 or the NGX still yields the same fps lol

One of the neat things about UT2 is you can set a target frame rate. I have mine set to 15FPS. It will reduce AI to maintain the frame rate you set. No more playing with the percentages.

While we're on the topic, I use %40 percent. Buried in the forums the creator has suggested "35%". CLT, EWR, JFK, and all of my add-on sceneries look very believable.
