Do you enable AI traffic in the sim itself, or do you install a third party addon?

Also, what is FPS hit using AI?

 

Thanks!

Third party.  I use FSLTL.  It's free, uses a one app installer and puts real world liveries and models in the sim, matching real world flights.  Turn off the fake MSFS traffic and enjoy!  There are some bugs with AI, but despite some saying other programs or pathways fix these issues, I don't believe that's the case. My system is very high-end so I don't see a performance hit.  I also only use a moderate amount of traffic because they can get in the way to be honest.

A mixed of the two. FSLTL to create airliners traffic and the MSFS AI Offline modified with a flightsim.to mod to create GA traffic.

I use FSLTL on my pretty moderate system and haven´t experienced a loss in fps.

It´s real fun to place oneself near the end of a runway at one of the big airports and go planespotting. FSLTL even provides ai traffic with corresponding sounds for startup, taxiing, takeoff etc.

Hi Vbazillio.  Please would you mind sharing your traffic settings and the addon you are using for GA traffic.  I too use FSLTL and miss the GA traffic.

Love your airports BTW.

Thanks

As all, I launch FSLTL injector but also activate the "AI offline" from MSFS. With the edit of the layout.json, MSFS will only inject GA traffic and FSLTL will do the same for liners.

Thank you! It's always rewarding to have user's feedback.

I used to chose the sim's live-traffic, with AIG Models installed.

But since the penultimate Simupdate they messed up something in the aliasing of the aircraft. Now the livetraffic does no longer accurately choose liveries from the pool of installed AI Aircraft.

 

As a result I switched to PSXT for the time being. Downside, no real communication between the aircraft and the sim, therefore no seperation between you and those aircraft from ATC. 

On the upside: You get the absolutely correct liveries, down to the registration number, and have the aircraft do exactly what they do in real life, with just 15 seconds of delay. However only on airports where the transponders are switched on at the gate.

FSLTL (free) + PSXT + Real Traffic (both payware on a sub) is by far THE best AI setup in the sim.

I agree, but I'm going to cancel mine for 2 reasons: 1) because it's a subscription and 2) because there are no comms between ATC and the Ai aircraft. It's like we are the only plane is the skies.

FSLTL is great, easy on FPS, models look good, plus great sounds a lights, easy to install and it is free. https://www.fslivetrafficliveries.com/

I use AIG for the number of models and liveries.

PSXT is not payware on a sub. Only Real Traffic is. But since PSXT doesn't work without it...

FSLTL is easy, free and works well enough for me to feel immersed that I’m not operating in an empty world.
