Traffic Zapper in FSUIPC5 works for me. Only kills one aircraft at a time.

You have to be pointed directly at the aircraft for zapper to work. If you are on a taxiway with several aircraft ahead of you, and one or two already turned waiting on clearance to take the runway, your stuck.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned regarding the AIG package is the excellent Ai Companion developed as freeware which will show all traffic in a 80nm bubble around your aircraft. It's similar to the payware SuperTrafficBoard.

You can run it either on your P3D computer or if you have WideFS it can run on a separate PC. Very powerful application and highly recommended. Requires SimConnect and full instructions are included for running via WideFS.

Thanks for mentioning this. I’m going to try that as well...Including your zapper reference.

learning a lot from this tread, like a whole new world lol

No you’re not. Just turn towards them and zap them. You can be right on top of them with collision turned off.

I use traffic toolbox from the p3d SDK to kill inconvenient ai traffic.

 But actual airways doesn't really mean much when they are often so incorrect or backwards to whats actually would/should be flown irl. Direct routings is almost more realistic compared to that. You can change the routes if you want to but it's an incredible amount of work and still terribly flawed. It's totally each users opinion on the matter, but 90+% of the traffic you see is when you are operating around the airports. AIG's option is still vastly better in and free is always good too.

 Swapping out the UTL models for better ones has always been an option but there are still no gains to be had in doing so, you are still stuck with UTL's varied quirks and old schedules.

When the AI is on routes even if many are incorrect I find they fly along side me and at the places I would expect traffic to be. That gives me immersion. In FSX updating the latest schedule I had an airline AI right along the arrival on time and the real aircraft in the exact same spot 2000ft above me on descent. AIG is superior in every other way as you said.
