March 6, 20188 yr Running UT2 fine in P3Dv4. What if any advantages are there to moving to UT Live? Cheers

March 6, 20188 yr If your happy with UT2 I would not switch. I did the switch because: 1. UTL is designed to work with v4 and uses the new install method 2. The Live part means up to date flightplans 3. Traffic does not fly from A to B but follow a flightplan and also SID/STAR 4. Traffic does fly at correct altitudes 5. Apearently the fact that it runs outside the sim shold have a lesser impact on performance (well we can argue about that).

March 6, 20188 yr Just echoing all the reasons above. I've been very happy with UTL. Can't yet use it with VOXATC if that's a consideration. Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.
March 6, 20188 yr Author Hmm, my UT2 discount drops the price down to ~$35...pondering the move. Are the UTL AI aircraft models better than UT2?
March 6, 20188 yr You could wait for "Traffic Global" which is in development (JustSim) if you can live with UT2 for a while. I am using UTL, but too many important airlines and a/c models are missing. Also it looks that they never cleaned up the old stuff (from UT2). IMO, their repaints.xml is a mess with many orphaned and unnecessary entries. Concerning a/c models quality, it looks that they are the same quality as in UT2.

March 6, 20188 yr Does your UT2 run in v4.2 without any issue? Currently, a switch to UTLive would make only sense if there is really an issue with v4.2 (which I do not yet know...) or if your UT2 is not highly modified with additional repaints, models and flightplans. Reason: you would need to re-assing all again and there is no Powerpack yet available for UTLive. Or: if you are absolutely bothered by the UT2 bug not displaying traffic over oceans...

March 6, 20188 yr 57 minutes ago, GEKtheReaper said: The Live part means up to date flightplans No it doesn’t. It’s semi-deceptive marketing nonsense. Flights are based on old schedules. They claim that some flights get “delayed or cancelled”, so it’s “live”. Which, given that the flights were not accurate in the first place, is one of the stupider things I’ve ever heard in the world of flight sim. Despite this, it’s worth the upgrade. Early versions were problematic for many (including me), but the release version is pretty good. Upgrade because: - performance is a little better - you can use menus again - interface is modernised The main reason not to upgrade yet is if you use need the bridge (eg for Vox ATC), or the powerpack (for adding your own schedules). They both should come, but no one would acuse this developer of setting a rapid pace! I’ve changed from MT6 a little while back, and am currently a happy UTL user.
