I think what Dave is getting at is that you still use UT2 but you disable specific airlines within UT2 and replace those airlines with the AIG sourced plans.<br /><br />You then use the UT2 powerpack to "translate" a ttool based set of flightplans WITHOUT waypoints, such as AIG provide, into a UT2 flightplan database WITH waypoints.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Steve<br /><br />PS - excuse the formatting in this post....I have no idea why tapatalk does this to some posts!!!

Yeah FS flightplanner routes aren't perfect, but in my opinion still better than just direct route between two airports.

Each to his own on this I guess. I'd much prefer a/c on direct routes than on very poor "flightplanned" routes. I've looked at Oceanic routes as well in UT2 and they are often pretty horrible.

That's certainly another way to do it as well, you have options. I still prefer to simply run using traffic.bgls. I ran UT2 for a couple years and found it too quirky for my liking (poor routes, traffic disappearing in-flight, missing traffic and more) but would still take it over MyTraffic any day.

 

Once I went back to a freeware AI setup all was good again.

With great interest i read the opinions here between UT2 and MyTrafficX but I would like to share mine too but on a different AI tool. The new Traffic360!

The descriptions about this package were really good. Lots of traffic, GA and tubliners, military, millions of real world schedules, a spotter at any airport, vehicle traffic at the airports and the list goes on. I got it, I installed it, and to my big surprise I found all the gates full of airplanes, which is good, but no movemets!. I was waiting, and waiting and again waiting, but nothing. At first I thought i bought an AI tool with static models! But no! at the forums there were other users complaining about the same thing.

Another let down were the AI sounds. After 30 mins, yes 30 mins!! I saw an airplane moving! I thought at last! It was coming slowly, it was passing infront of my airplane, but  the sound was like the mower maschine that my neighboor is using to cut the grass. And! it was taxing with open door and the staircase was down. It was so funny. Of course now they are preparing for a patch but I was so dissapointed that I uninstalled it.

Now seriously I am thinking of purchasing the UT2, because I find the models look more realistic, and I think as a program is more stabilised but how exactly the schedules can be imported? I hope the manuals are explaining this

That can be done using UT2 power pack which is available for free download here:

It's very easy process, you just select the flightplan txt file using UT2 powerpack (I think you also need to have aircraft and airports text files in the same folder), define the aircraft type and which airline (existing or you can create a new one) those flights belong to.

 

After that you let it generate the flights, you can either choose direct traditional style flightplans or more realistic ones with waypoints. When that is done all you need to do is just click one button to make UT2 Power pack convert the whole thing to UT2 database file and it's done.

 

After that you need to open UT2 main software and assign paints to your newly added aircraft and save them, after that you should be able to see the traffic in FSX.

 

It's very simple process and both UT2 power pack and main UT2 software are very user friendly.

Maybe i should go with UT2.

Sounds like models are good, and performance ok.

I actually use a mixture of the two. I added quite a few updated airlines and flightplans to UT2 when I first learned how to do it, and then I added some more as standard traffic BGLs when I installed AIFP2. They work perfectly well together. Recently I have updated a handful of the UT2 planes (Aer Arann/Air France/Lufthansa Regional ATRs, BA Cityflyer RJ100, Lufthansa Cityline RJ700 etc) because these are less impressive than the vast majority of UT2 models. I simply installed better looking versions, and then modified the repaint list accordingly.

Exactly! Some of the models DO require replacement without a doubt. Bae146/RJ family, Canadair RJ's, Beech 1900's, MD-11 are the main ones.
