I think that is what I use.  The AC is the traffic controller right?

 

Correct.

You only use the AIG AC so PSXT will control them. No timetables from the AIG TC.

Oh..I think I am using it wrong.  Where is the AC?  I only have a TC application not an AC?

How do I disable the timetables?

Gerard probably means Aircraft with AC?

Do NOT run TC at the same time as PSXT.

AC = Aircraft

PSXT can automatically look for AC and AC packages.

If needed you can put the path yourself in the PSXT config file (see manual)

Absolutely! 

Use RealTraffic with AIG (free) and PSXT (free) for a simulator populated with real traffic for the whole world, including GA.  Gates at larger airports pre-populated with the correct airlines/aircraft.  Tuning into LiveATC.net lets you hear all the live traffic too!  Flying GA with Foreflight on the iPad is quite incredible when you fly under/over class B/C/D - departures/arrivals/taxiing aircraft are all visible in the controlled airspace.  Flying a pattern at a GA field with all the traffic actually there is great fun.

If random ATC chatter without the aircraft visible out the window is what you want, because its free, then that is great too.

I thought Vatsim injected traffic into your sim?

Vatsim injects the other people in Vatsim into your sim.  However, if running Vatsim and firing up AIG AC, PSTX and RT, you will get both.  If just running Vatsim, you will only see the others online

Isn't just seeing traffic within Vatsim the idea?

Just for clarification. You should not fire up AIG AC (if you meant the AIG Traffic Manager).

PSXT uses the AIG aircraft (liveries) only, nothing more (no flight plans).

I agree it is not cheap, but it is well worth the price IMO.

Totally agree. 
Seeing live ac adds a lot to having a “reality” feeling, just like Live Weather ..

What happens on final or approach, how do you fit in the pattern? Can it disable aircraft around you by a certain nm to avoid this?

Disable aircraft in the pattern - surely some sort of offence? 🙂

Fit in as you would in real world.  Extend the downwind, go around etc to avoid collisions.  If your not happy with something in the real world your reaction can be done in the sim - great fun!

You can block one callsign and take its place, or just  enter the "train" at a suitable distance after your predecessor. The aircraft behind you will be removed by PSXT if it comes too close.

But anyway this is of course only relevant at major airports with one landing runway in use, such as EGLL, if you fly to Ibiza for instance there will always be a "hole" where you fit in.

No, it is a bargain.

Note that you get my PSXseeconTraffic program for free. It has cost me about two man years (working hours)  to develop since 2017. I could only do this because I'm retired.

And you also get the AIG aircraft for free...

Maybe to some.  I use Vatsim for the ATC, not necessarily to see other traffic.  I can fly a full flight that has center control that will control me from takeoff to landing and not see another aircraft if nobody is flying where i am.  In that instance, I can have ATC controlling me, and still land and takeoff from airports that look more realistic because they have traffic.
