Hi! As someone who flies only GA with VFR, I'm interested in GA AI planes in smaller airports. The goal is to have at least several GA aircraft of adequate MTOW flying to/from every small airfield that I visit (mostly the US and Europe).
In P3D v4 I used ORBX AI traffic NA, and it was rather good though not perfect (limited coverage). Now it seems not to be released for V5. So I tried to overview what's available, and now asking for advice if I'm missing anything.
What we have for V5 to my experience:
ORBX AI traffic NA. Not officially released for v5. Will it work if ported from V4? I haven't tried yet.
UT2. No GA at small airports; can be added manually perhaps.
AIG. No GA at small airports; can be added manually perhaps.
FSX GA Traffic freeware. Doesn't work in v5 (also in v4).
Anything else that I'm missing?
A separate question about GA aircraft models quality, but that's not important to me as the goal is ideally to develop a habit of spotting incoming planes, doing clearing turns when flying VFR, etc.
A tool like FSX GA Traffic would be ideal, and I'm thinking of writing my own for P3D (I have experience with P3D SDK). However, before coding, it's always better to find something already working.
