Fifteen days isn’t ‘soon’
 come on
 is this vapor ware?

Of course you can argue how soon ‘soon’ is and if it should be sooner than 15 days, or if less soon is soon enough. But seriously
 don’t write ‘soon’ and then deliver nothing really soon? Not even an answer soon to the many questions


I vote for closing this thread if this thing doesn’t show up soon!

That’s better. At least something that’s beyond ‘soon’.

Any idea if there are performance hits? I might give it a try anyway. Will find out quick enough.

Well I tried this.

Apart from the huge screen shouting ‘Coming Soon’ (I had that coming) I’m not sure if it’s adding a lot. I think you have to have live traffic enabled. So especially at airports it’s a bit unclear who is doing what (the sim or this program). I did see a plane that had ‘Asobo’ added to the description (according to the developer that’s a plane produced by the mod), so it is inputting airplanes. And my airports looked pretty busy (but with static traffic, not a lot was moving). I’ll have to test some more (I also saw boats in Little Nav Map
 and I haven’t added any mod that adds boats, nor seen any boats before adding this mod, so I guess that’s this one too? Or does the sim add boats on occasion?).

the moving planes that you see without name tags are the ones being added by mod. My issue is the teleporting on the ground that he is tryinmg to fix.

I wonder if you see 2 of same plane? one from the sim flightaware server and his flightradar server.

Well I’m trying it now, and it does seem to be working, but it’s not much better than the sim ‘live traffic’. I see only 1 plane where there should be at least 6.

Why do you think it is working then? Is there another indication of it working other than more traffic?

I am getting ready to try it and was wondering what to look for.

The developer wrote that he adds ‘Asobo’ behind the description? And that’s what I’m seeing. There’s also no delay. The one plane that did show up was exactly at the right spot at the right time. So I think it’s working. But there’s still no explosion of air traffic as shown on say FlightRadar.

To be honest, I think a lot of these mods are quite messy. So I’m not keeping this one.

It’s again a bunch of files thrown in a folder (seriously, can no-one make a nice library or something?), no installer, half a screen with ‘coming soon’
 let me be harsh for a change: it’s amateur hour.

The best one so far!

I love this add on..
So when can I get this? :smirk:

Looks promising. Three questions spring to mind:

-Do aircraft taxi to the gate after landing, or will they disappear as they often do in the default?
-The claims about FPS are impressive, but there are micro stutters in the promo vid - what rig spec was this recorded on? I’d like to compare it to my own

-How soon is “soon”?

Besides the one post we never saw topic starter again. He wrote exactly one post. He never answered any questions. Which is all a bit strange, cause if you can make a video of the thing working, it should be close to ready no? I’m not holding my breath.

Maybe this thread was actually created by the AIG guys to further gauge reaction to the product, rather than posting under their own more recognisable monikers.

Either way, I don’t care as long as one decent AI traffic product is released this year (or Asobo make further improvements)

We need to be patient this is not a easy mod to build plus with issues experienced on the sim doesnt make it any easier, remember this sim only came out last year.

Well, then don’t write ‘soon’
 or make it ‘soon, somewhere in 2022’ :smiley:

It’s not so much I’m impatient
 I just don’t like this mysterious nonsense. Presenting a video, claiming ‘soon’ and then disappear? I think I might not even want it anymore! :upside_down_face:

Ummm no this thread was not made by the AIG guys AIG doesn’t look like that is actually has real models and is planned to release in Q4

:frowning:

Won’t this add-on be totally useless with the lack of a competent offline ATC? I’m pretty sure there will be a need for an offline ATC that can handle this level of AI traffic, or at least a utility that empowers the MSFS ATC.

Also, I wonder if FFAI increases the “intelligence” of the AI, because currently the AI is quite “stupid”. Having the tarmacs and skies filled is fine, but with what, is of the upmost importance.
