Ok, here is what I would like to do. I would like to have AI traffic as static aircraft while flying online. The way to do it is make using AFCAD, park the planes at the gates you want and have them leave only once a week like at 2 in the morning. That way you will have great looking aircraft for static models while flying online. Only trouble is I have noticed that when connected via SB3, AI planes do not show up and only do so upon shutting down SB3...is there a workaround for this?

The way it's been explained to me - the multiplayer mode is set to specifically exclude any AI traffic. It's simply not a capability of Flight Sim 9.

That is why I decided to purchase Radar Contact 4 and stop flying online. I got tired of flying around without any other aircraft to look at, and with many times, no controllers to talk to. Now I have tons of AI, plus ATC anywhere I want to fly, at any time of the day or night.

I will probably get it (RC4) when one can d/l it. I also understand some comments have been made by the FS team in re: new MP features and the like..maybe we can finally start using AI while online in FSX???

That would be nice to have the option.

I agree!! Looking forward to the new MP setup with FSX, especially since they state it is a complete rework, here's hoping!Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International
