Do we have any traffic addons in development?

Recommended Posts

I was just curious. The current options are all outdated it seems, require extensive guides just to install and they are all still offered at premium prices, something I'm personally not willing to pay for a DIY project I have to crowbar in.

 

Seems like there's a significant gap in the market for an up-to-date traffic addon, with good performance, decent models and updated schedules. I haven't heard of any being in development but I don't have my ear that close to the ground, so I was wondering if anyone had heard anything? Currently playing without any traffic whatsoever, because the default traffic is fairly lethargic and takes quite a performance hit I feel. Though I would love to get some life back into my game, just not on the current available addons' premises. 

 

Maybe everyone feels the current offers are good enough?

I have My Traffic 6 and it couldn't be an easier to install in P3D. Just follow the instructions. Easy on FPS and I think it looks pretty good, and I have been around airports and aircraft for  almost my entire life.

My Traffic 6 seems to be the best option right now. It's compatible with P3Dv3. I don't think there's anything on the horizon that I've heard of.

ai sid/star controller and traffic optimizer both sort of count as addons? i don't know how actively they are being developed, i think traffic optimizer works with p3d and still gets updates though... i found them to be quite cool but also very prone to crashing my fsx-steam so i stopped using them.

 

the functionality was cool though, and very similar to the injected/managed traffic that voxAtc creates. i think seeing planes doing patterns, and flying the routes out of navigraph is a final frontier of AI that isn't really well addressed yet. would also love to see a comprehensive solution for this that includes real-world traffic control concepts at airports that aren't based on wind only, like at KSFO using the 28s for landings and the 01s for takeoffs during normal ops. proATC has a little bit of functionality for this but it doesn't really affect the AI..

 

for now, the mytraffic stuff seems to cover generic AI pretty well, i'm not sure what a competitor could do differently, more models and variations i guess, it's already huge package tho

I have My Traffic 6 installed and using it with vPilot for my online traffic. Models though look very early FSXish, almost FS2000 like. I heard UT2 does not work good with P3D v3.x . I a, wondering if WofAI has better models and works with the latest P3D? Pain to install all of them though it be worth it....

UT2 works flawlessly under Prepar3d3.3 in my daily flying. It's a bit of a challenge to install, however once installed (there are recipes) it just works and is not too bad on fps. Which however applies to MyTraffic6 with Traffic Optimizer, too.

 

Given we are supposedly on the verge of 64 bit for P3D and DTFS I doubt anyone being inclined to start a new project right now.

In my humble opinion UT2 AI traffic is the best, the models are far superior and the wheels don't keep disappearing. The following short vid features UT2 with the 2015 updated models and schedules, there are no static aircraft, all AI is UT2. The sim is P3D v3.3.5

Any guides available for getting it installed properly into P3D v3.3.5?

I'm well aware of the two existing offers and also the ones I'm referring to in my original post. Maybe I just have a different mindset regarding the level of quality I expect from addons, that cost 40 euros each, that I need to read a small motel bible to install, effectively crowbarring it into a version of a game it wasn't really meant to support. Or on the other hand, having to deal with a lot 'little issues' that people tend to not mention or quickly brush over, that some of these addons suffer from. Especially having to look at severely outdated models in one of them, the one that sort-of doesn't require a lengthy guide. 

 

Neither of these addons, in their current condition when used for the latest version of P3D, are worth 40 euro -- Not even close, in my opinion. That's why I wanted something new, polished, with a native installer, something actually worth the asking price.

Careful with such links. I am sure that those AI planes, flightplans and repaints are not thought to be re-distributed this way. That's why the FB Group is closed, then it can be treated as "only for friends". Personally, I would remove this link...
