Model matching is another big issue for 2021 it seems. Would be so much better to see the actual plane model even if a low poly render base model could be built for almost all planes or if it could be streamed in so that we don’t own the model or have access to it. Still cool to see real traffic though especially a celeb.
Be nice to see that plane taxi and move around realistically and not vanish after landing on route to the gate either. You would think with all that cloud computing they could offload the CPU usage of the AI traffic too. Right now we have these big data centers and servers handling the traffic between players but it’s not doing much aside from feeding the sim the live traffic tracking data.
In an environment where CPU is so precious I would love to fly solo but with real AI traffic and dedicated CPU offloaded to keep frame rates up. I turned AI off shortly after launch after measuring CPU usage and watching them taxi around. I know they tweaked it a bit since then but really I would rather it be done right.
Was sad when Aerosoft announced their traffic addon was dead because of SU5. Hopefully someone can get real traffic working with minimal overhead and base model matching. Model matching for all planes for that matter.
