April 29, 20242 yr Hello, I have been using AISmooth Version 1.20 on FS2004 for some time. The program is doing a pretty job job preventing ai aircraft go-arounds, but it does not recognize my (User) aircraft even with the "User plane response" box checked. Often, an ai aircraft will overtake me, even 10 miles out on final approach, pass by, and then get cleared to land -- no intervention by AiSmooth. Have other people seen this and been able to correct it? I am using the default settings. Thank you, Kurt
April 30, 20242 yr Administrators Yes, I have seen the same thing from AISmooth in FSX. Nothing like having a big jetliner fly right through you to land ahead and block the runway!

April 30, 20242 yr FSUIPCTraffic Zapper may work for cases like this? I don't remember zapping aircraft air-to-air. You need a registered version of FSUIPC, but now it's free for FS9.

May 1, 20242 yr Author Hi! Apparently that Traffic Zapper started with FSUIPC Version 4, but those later versions don't work with FS2004. Interesting way to handle the encroaching ai, but there isn't really a "good" way. If I don't feel like going around, I just land anyway... Thanks, Kurt

I am on v3.999z9b, which I understand was the final version for FS2004. Traffic Zapper is certainly an option on that version. If it doesn't work for you on the default key "#" try assigning it to another, e.g. Ctrl-#. I had to do that owing to a conflict with another piece of FS software. The only other point I would make is that the Traffic Zapper feature requires the unwanted aircraft to be directly ahead of you, you can't pan about and blow aircraft out of the sky at random. Traffic Toolbox (which comes as part of the SDK) will let you remove specific aircraft on the fly (no pun intended!).

May 1, 20242 yr Author Well, Traffic Zapper IS in there, after all (FSUIPC version 3.99). But you have to know that in advance because it's not on the tabs, where I expected it to be. The reference I saw that indicated it was added on Version 4 and discontinued on Version 7 was in error. I ran with Traffic Zapper and it worked on the ai airplane that passed me up. It is better to remove one ai airplane than to jump to 8x time acceleration and back (or reset time one minute) to reset everything, in my opinion... Still, I wish Ai Smooth would detect my airplane. I was hoping there was some setting I could fix. Thanks, Kurt

I'm not an AI Smooth user myself, but this thread at Flightsim.com suggests the correct settings to do so:https://www.flightsim.com/forums/topic/18062-ai-smooth-111/ Hoping that helps, John My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star! http://www.adventure-unlimited.org
May 6, 20242 yr Author Thanks, AI Smooth helps quite a bit keeping down AI go-arounds. I see various opinions on settings in those threads, and I'll try some fo the more extreme changes and see if things improve with respect to my user aircraft. Meanwhile, I now have the Traffic Zapper to deal with overtaking airplanes. Best regards, Kurt
