... okay, this is the situation, my Airline & GA traffic are all set uo to the left mean the % is (0), UT2 is disabled ... launching FSX & the air is full with Airplanes, Airports are empty, but I hear (not see) Engines on & off & Airplanes are Taxing  ….one Airport, Catalina Island KAVX, is loaded with Helicopters hovering all over … it is very annoying, I’m flying with PE Real ATC in Southern California & I do not need AI at all.

Amy ideas ?????

 

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you are hearing the airport vehicle sounds or something else if you have a special scenery installed for that area that adds environmental sounds to the airport.

 

I just did my first reinstall of FSX after 5 years on a new computer and had the airport vehicles enabled and set to medium, which after the past 2 years had them turned off since I was using GEX. I had not yet installed GEX and that is why they were enabled. Long story short, when sitting in my a/c I kept hearing all kinds of noises that sounded like engines or a/c starting and taxing, along with all kinds of other unidentified sounds and this was with no AI. Turned out, once I turned all the airport ground vehicles off the sounds disappeared.

 

In your case it could be that, or if you have Aerosoft US Cities X Los Angles  installed, it adds stuff for Catalina Island including some sounds for ambient traffic and stuff, so you could be hearing that even though you have AI turned off.
