When I had first installed MSFS, in busier airports there was quite a bit of AI activity plus ATC communications.  I turned-off the ATC communications (I believe the option is ATC VOICES) but somehow the AI activity ceased as well so I am suspecting some other option has been turned-off as well.  Please let me know what MSFS options I need to turn on/off in order to have:

• AI activity at airports (taxiing, landing, taking off), and
• The native MSFS ATC to be silent.

I don't have any AI Addons installed.

As with most things with MSFS, it got broken in one of the updates. Now we just need to wait until it gets fixed. It will get broken again soon after that in another update and the circle of MSFS will continue but first you will need to go into your general - traffic options menu and make sure you have enabled online traffic/live traffic

To silence ATC there is a setting somewhere (can't pinpoint from memory) where you choose either Azure, Offline or Off. Set this to Off.
