A very interesting mod that allows either default or GSX GSE to service AI aircraft. Not sure how severe the performance impact is but it seems to have a lot of customisation to mitigate any ill-effects.
Great Add On. Works great with very little performance impact.
Just a word of caution. Apparently it works by inserting more sim objects so, especially in busy airports and higher settings, unless you’ve increased the number of sim objects you could run into performance problems.
That said, it seems to work fine for me, using BATC as the traffic injector, even in VR but I do keep the settings low otherwise the apron gets a bit hectic!
I’ve also noticed that a couple of look-alikes have popped up on flightsim.to
Tried it with default AI traffic with Bravo Airspace and FSLTL models (and no GSX) but it didn’t work for me. Vehicles were in wrong positions around the planes and jet bridges didn’t connect in any of the 3 airports I tried (with the jetway helper installed in the community folder). Uninstalled.
I’ll have a look at it and see if it works for me.
BATC has jetways connecting to traffic now without ghost aircraft injection, in their EXP branch. The comments state it works with BATC but doesn’t say which version.
Aprons definitely look dead still with just planes parked so this would be a good addition.
This looks interesting, especially if the performance hit stays low with busy AI traffic. Has anyone tried it at a large hub together with GSX and fairly high AI density? I’d be curious where the CPU impact starts to become noticeable.
Huge step forward, I like it ![]()
I gave it a try too - pretty awesome. You can disable jetways so they can be triggered with BATC instead.
I take it jetways working with AI aircraft is something in the Experimental Branch only, for now?
Yes, experimental only for now.
Yes, works well with Apron Life tho
I downloaded and installed two days ago. I have a reasonably high end pc with a 5060ti gpu but I have to say I found it a hungry beast.
I’m sure a lot of folks will love it but I uninstalled because it just didn’t work for me.
Pretty cool concept. Haven’t downloaded it, but looks like the latest change log indicates significant performance improvements. I wonder if this works with VATSIM injected aircraft?
I didn’t notice a lot of impact on performance, most came from BATC. I’ll try the updated one soon.
