FSUIPC traffic settings

[DuduGuimaraes]

Hello guys.

I was wondering what are the best settings in the FSUIPC traffic tab to prevent FSUIPC to delete AI traffic from the origin/destination airport (considering a flight plan is loaded in P3D). I have read the documentation a lot of times but couldn’t quite figure it out.

Thanks

Eduardo, you don’t list your hardware but if you have a half decent system I would encourage you to buy the Lossless Scaling program from Steam. It’s around 6 GBP.

Why? Because I’ve been able to set Ai at 100% and get 60fps at Simwings Heathrow even with complex aircraft like FSL Concorde.

I had to limit Ai in FSUIPC to 160. Now I have 220+ and still get 60fps.

How do you manage to ever get to the active?

By the time I’ve powered up the aircraft and taxied out the queue has mostly gone. If I’m in a hurry FSUIPC zapper is very useful. 😁

Or you could just cheat and disable crash detection. Then just drive straight over them to the front of the queue.😲

OO I forgot about that from my FSX days.

My very first flight in P3D ended in a CRASH before I'd even moved my ac. Pushback, start engine 2, parking brake ON, start engine 1 and CRASH!

A 172 had driven into my right mains. From then on crash detect was OFF on ground.

Took off, leaving star at FL100 and CRASH! "Collision with vegetation".

CD is now off permanently (except for approach). I can't stand huge bounces if I mess up my inertia. I'd rather have the motivation to GA by knowing flight would end badly if I landed at 180kts in my regional.

That's the only issue I have/had with AI in P3D/FSX which was also bad in MSFS: Taxiing ac ignoring my plane completely and traveling THROUGH me with CD off.

I guess there is a brilliant traffic addon for P3D that has just been pulled from market lol?

I turn it off completely as one of the first things I do after install.

AIG Ai in v5.3HF2 is reasonably sensible. If you’re approaching an intersection also in use by an Ai it will more often than not, stop. Better than it used to be.

Afraid so!

Hi Ray we have a very similar setup. I’m using Lossless Scaling, got my AI at 100% as well. However, even with 60 FPS, in JFK for example I get 330+ planes which cause me some stutters, so that’s why I asked the question.

Thanks

Eduardo, hard to work out if you’re getting 60. I wasn’t before LG which is why I had to reduce the number of aircraft to 160 max in FSUIPC. You could try that as a starter.
