• Is this an 'AI' mode only? (not integrated with LIVE AIRTRAFFIC)
• Where would the flight plans come from? How reasonably current (concerned for a lot of defunct airlines)
• Do the represented airlines operate at their real world airports? (i.e. not having LOT show up at say KSEA)
• Expected to run 'in game' vs a separate running app with its own GUI?
• Ease of setup? (ike is it 15 different steps from 5 different website plus manual editing or like one or two clicks)
• Extent of user modifications? can one expect that after formal release there will be a ton of uploaded user mods following or does that not really apply
• Payware? Freeware? Donationware?
• Framerate hit?
• Liveries matched to reasonable airframe type? or is everything you see a generic twin jet, quad jet of the same model.
• I assume no General Aviation ability, correct?

 

 

 

• I think live traffic will be available but according to a post in this topic they are having a few issues with live traffic at the moment that Asobo need to sort out.
• Flightplans are up to date, so at AIG there are Winter and Summer flight plans with a lot being updated throughout the year. Defunt airlines are easily removed in the menu of the OCI or One Click Installer program.
• As the flight plans are true to life you won't see a LOT E175 for example operating a domestic flight from KSEA, unless such an aircraft is leased to an airline in real life and has a hybrid livery or such.
• To install flight plans that the AI uses you will need a seperate program which should be included in the final release package. The program judging by my use of it in P3D, will not be required to run while in MSFS unless there is something MSFS does differently that requires such a thing.
• Two or Three clicks to confirm and download/install flight plans. You can multi select flight plans you want to install which literally takes 10 seconds or less depending on if you want them all or not.
• There are payware and freeware models, the freeware models the OCI will automatically download according to the flight plan you're downloading/installing. The payware ones which are FSPXAI and a few others can be purchased on stores such as simmarket, I have a few of FSPXAI's models and they are outstanding. As for paints, there are literally thousands of freeware paints already available which will be downloaded automatically again depending on what flightplan you are downloading.
• Freeware, but you can donate to AIG if you so please.
• Cannot comment as I do not have access.
• Liveries are as true to life as you want them to be. If a new aircraft is just released in the real world and say American Airlines operates it, but a model hasn't been made for the AIG flightplans yet then a substitue will be used. Other than that all aircraft and liveries are true to the real world.
• I cannot comment on whether GA will be available, but I do know that private jets flight plans are available for P3D through the OCI so maybe we will see such a thing in the future.

yes, since it is using the default AI system

@Kaiii3 are there any plans to come up with something outside the default system? Not sure if that is something that can even be done but was wondering if there will be anything to get around issues of the default system like so many go arounds at busy airports. I know there is a tool for P3d (AIflow and AIground) that helps but not sure if something similar can be created for MSFS

we are in regular contact with other developers and we all agree that the current SDK is unable to do such stuff at the moment.

fingers crossed this can be resolved and you and other devs get full access to change the AI logic.

Sorry to show my ignorance, but what does this addon do? Does it improve the AI Aircraft, and Airport operaions.?

"Improve" is an understatement if there ever was one, but yes, that's what it technically does 🙂

thats up to MS/ASOBO.

Will you release the public beta (just) before Aerosoft releases Simple Traffic? 😉

no clue when AS will release, I have a date in mind and hope to be ready then

@Kaiii3 so, as far as I've understood, this will work just as we know it from P3D in regards of VATSIM Model Matching?

 

Meaning, there will be Simobjects (aircraft) with a texture folder and a .cfg in it that can be used by a vPilot Model Matching rule to display the respective aircraft?

correct

Is this going to be of any use for live traffic or it only a thing for Offline AI?

Perfect, thank you very much for your response, much appreciated.

Some of the models and liveries will have live traffic matching.
