October 18, 20214 yr What is the best/easiest way to get some static aircraft at the stock P3d V4.5 airports? I have all of the "Traffic" sliders maxed but, for example, I landed at O'Hare in Chicago and there were about three of the stock planes sitting at gates and several on the taxiways but no "real" airline or GA planes to be seen...I don't necessarily want moving traffic, just static planes at gates, etc...Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for the advice... Steve in Kansas Steve 7 Miles NW of KGCK
October 18, 20214 yr Steve- You should consider AIG-OCI You'll have all the 'real' static aircraft you can imagine along with moving traffic as well. All free. Highly recommended.
October 18, 20214 yr @LTCSZ There are two programs that I'm aware of that can place models. Payware: Lorby-SI WAMA (Where Are My Aircraft), and; Freeware: Stuff 4FS SAMM (Static Aircraft .mdl Maker). You'll need a library of AI aircraft models and liveries, as these programs are just placement tools. IVAO's MTL catalogue or (like @newtie suggested) AIG's AIM will do the job. AMD Ryzen 5800X3D; MSI RTX 3080 Ti ; 32GB Corsair 3200 MHz; ASUS VG35VQ 35" (3440 x 1440) Fulcrum One yoke; Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus edition; MFG Crosswind rudder pedals; miniCockpit FCU; CPFlight MCP 737; Logitech FIP x3; TrackIR MSFS; Fenix A320; A2A PA-24; HPG H145; PMDG 737-600; AIG; RealTraffic; PSXTraffic; FSiPanel; REX AccuSeason Adv; FSDT GSX Pro; FS2Crew RAAS Pro; FS-ATC Chatter
October 18, 20214 yr AIG's OCI would be the best way to go for what you are looking for. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
October 18, 20214 yr I concur with regards to the use of AIG's OCI. It really isn't hard to use, and giving the manual a bit of a read is the way to go. Some things to be aware of though. Besides being logged into the AIG froum, you'll also need accounts at a number of websites to enable the program to download models and liveries and some of those will be manual downloads. There are a selection of AI models that are payware, although you can choose to not purchase and use freeware instead. I opted for a few to trial them out (and they are Ok). A couple are not expensive but all of them would be in the hundreds of $$, although they would make for some pretty good AI overall. It'll make use of the Orbx traffic packs (the Aus|NZ pack is really nice now that it has new PBR models). It takes a long time to initally scan everything (hours for myself), and the downloads/installs can also run for many hours, I've been doing a few airlines here and there gradually building up the amount of traffic. The Temp downloads are stored in a %PROGRAMDATA% path and will build up to GBs of storage space, but they need to be kept if you are downloading in spurts like myself. I use the xml Add-in method to add the AI which works fine but is a little quirky the way they have set it up and I had to manually rework it to fit into my very specific xml based structuring. I have traffic set to max and use FSUIPC to set lower and upper limits on traffic so there is not too much fps killing traffic. Once AI traffic is installed it's great, plenty of sky and airport AI and a flight following is full of radio chatter. From this. To this And this And great models and liveries like this.
