I would love to see an overhaul of offline GA AI traffic.
I think it would really add to the training element of the simulator to have GA traffic doing circuits around airport. Would really aid in simulating visual awareness. At the moment, I’ve never seen AI do patterns.
GA airports would look fantastic with this going on.
I agree, I have only seen a few GA aircraft at some airports, but they are not doing circuits, just coming in to land.
yeah when it would possible to set up nearfield traffic. that would be awesome.
Yeah seems like there is just the occassional GA coming in to land when circuits are such an integral part to any GA airport
Does anyone know if there are any limitations in implementing this?
I think this would really add immersion to smaller GA airports
Have a look at this small airfield near Hamburg, Germany.
There is a lot of AI GA Traffic at this airfield

EDHE with GA Traffic
Looks like a great scenery, will give it a fly.
This however I assume would just be GA traffic landing and departing from the airfield rather than doing circuits?
I‘m not sure, but can remember hearing an AI on the radio „…taking off runway 27 remaining in pattern“
Just give it a try. The developer has created a little masterpiece in my eyes.
Happens regularly now in the sim. Here’s Live Traffic (a real life B58 according to Flight Tracker) departing my home field +/- 10 minutes in real time.
What about a flightpath recorder where you fly yourself a proper flight in the pattern even for the length between airport whiten 20 nm radius,
than save that rec. and ai flies your flown flightpaths,
and on top of that a copied flightpath for different GA aircraft so to have a few in the circuit. and ofcours ATC should have authority over the flightpath if you or other online multiplayer fly into between but to start with a simple Flightpath Recorder as suggested, i would prefer it for sure. And if successful who Knows about future updates…
