This Is A First For Me - MSFS Live Traffic

I did Denver to Phoenix Sunday and PHX was swarmed with the ugly generic birds. 🙂

I am seeing plenty of live traffic in the USA, but this seems to be another case where experiences differ.

My experiences have been very sporadic, some flights I seem to be the only one in the air, some are quite busy.

Lots of traffic at MMMX last week. Only problem was they were all landing 05L and ATC ordered me to land opposite on 23R.

33 planes around KDEN for me right now

Ideally, I would like to see MSFS develop in a way that a new sim will not be needed

much like windows right now, they keep updating windows 10 instead of new versions (xp, vista, 7, ect) every few years.  Though we dont pay for win10 upgrades, we should pay for newer msfs upgrades to keep the platform alive, unless they have a different strategy.

I fly pretty much exclusively in the US, with both live traffic and MP traffic enabled.  I am continually impressed that the amount of traffic I see tends to be comparable to what I would expect in the real world.

Despite all the promises ATC and traffic never manage to get properly done in any simulator. What I don't understand,  in general, is why with all the cash accumulated you don't simply outsource these tasks to external developers who have expertise in this field

Why do you opt to slow development with your own resources being stingy and pissing the customers off when you can use dough and order turnkey solutions and and incorporate various modules in the sim.. It is just the greed or laziness that is preventing faster and more effective development.  Why not keep the customers happy and profit from the influx of new  users if they see your product is far superior to competition.

If you want to have a stellar product simply  INVEST and distribute development. If IFR, complex systems, big iron, ATC and traffic were done at the same level with scenery and weather nobody would ever mention X-Plane and all of their customers would be yours.

Agreed!
