Gamod 2024 - version 1.2 is here! But as beta at this stage (SU2 is buggy as hell, that comes to AI traffic).
I would be very pleased, if you provide some feedback about this 1.2 version update, because there might be some glitches. In overall, performance should be lot better vs GAmod 1.1 version.

KNOWN BUGS EVEN AFTER THIS UPDATE
This version 1.2 doesent work with SU2 beta, because of crucial parking bug affected to GAmod, FSLTL, AIG etc.
1) MSFS 2024 native AI models used!
great selection of Asobo AI models has replaced GAmod´s MSFS2020 models. Only some military models, hot balloon and helicopter are still the same MSFS2020 versions (MSFS2024 and hot balloon doesent move still, just stays still)
Allmost all the used models has official livery, taken from MSFS core by VFS (virtual file system)
All the models are downloaded from VFS and are fully inside of this package. It helps loading models in game faster, because it wont load them from cloud during game play.
Big selection of MSFS AI models were investigated and models with bugs were not used. Bug can be: propellers are not rotating, bad behaving LOD, official liveries doesent work, emissive textures were missing and parts of the model was glowing all the time. Selected models are fully working as should be.
MSFS2024 has hard coded built in LOD system, so there is no way to affect LOD behaviour. This situation can be changed, when Asobo lifts total encryption of core files and models. Until that, we have to deal with agressive LOD changes, but it is still 100% playble now.
Here are the list of MSFS2024 AI models GAmod2024 uses in this update:
GA AIRCRAFTS:
Asobo PassiveAircraft DA42, Asobo PassiveAircraft DA40 TDI, Asobo PassiveAircraft C152, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C207 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft P92, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C185 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft C162, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC6, Asobo PassiveAircraft C152, Asobo PassiveAircraft C177, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C400 Corvalis, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C195 Businessliner, Asobo PassiveAircraft DA62, Asobo PassiveAircraft TBM930, Asobo PassiveAircraft C208, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C207 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft C208, Asobo PassiveAircraft C340, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C404 Passengers, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C408, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC24, Asobo PassiveAircraft C337
BIZJETS:
Asobo PassiveAircraft Praetor 600, Asobo PassiveAircraft Legacy 500, Asobo PassiveAircraft Phenom 100, Asobo PassiveAircraft Citation X, Asobo PassiveAircraft Citation Latitude, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC24, Asobo PassiveAircraft Model 400
MILITARY
GAmod24C135 (tanker), GAmod24C295M (small cargo), GAmod24Reaper, GAmod24C17 (big cargo), Asobo PassiveAircraft FA18E (fighter jet), Asobo PassiveAircraft T38 (fighter jet)
- Rebuild of every flightplan .bgl´s. There was just so many duplicate flights, so this procedure makes traffic density less dense even with ULTRA traffic quality. Also overhauls flightplans are edited, so there is allways 4 diffrent models used in every aiport in World.
IMPORTANT!
