So yesterday, it happened to be, -just hanging around at KSFO-, that I saw this kind of 787-900 in KLM livery at a dock … At first I tought it was like part of the static scenery or something, but just this very morning I went back there in the sim and the model was´nt there …
I dont have any kind of AI Traffic addon, and it was “Live Traffic” preseted, as I always have it.
Any comments or news on this? So weird … (have a look and the screenshot).
that’s ‘Live traffic’, the sim generates AI aircraft based on real world flight data.
Hi! We all already know that … But what is weird is the model and the livery.
The KLM livery is part of the sim, and rarely the 787 model can sometimes show on AI traffic.
The 787 KLM livery got added to the 787 in the Benelux world update, so the AI traffic can use it. So if the AI live traffic generator can identify a KLM 787, it will show up as one as long as you don’t have ‘use generic models for AI aircraft’ enabled.
That sounds more alike an explanation … Thanx!
No problem.
For static aircraft the ai sometimes picks liveries in my community folder I have downloaded from flightsim.to. For some reason it loves to use my Northwest liveries. Even though the last time I saw a Northwest plane was 2009-2010ish haha.
This AI Traffic topic is very very weird … I really dont understand how developers havent realease some payware addon to fix all this … loads of money left!
AIG is working on a freeware AI package. But there’s limitations with the base game AI that is delaying progress.
The models will also work with the online traffic.
I´m up to it, but as I´ve been reading, the copyright claims are delaying that task … so, ¿why making it free of charge, if them guys can solve the trouble charging fare for it?
As still so many things in this sim, I don’t get part of it at all.
I know there’s Live Traffic, there’s AI Traffic… but where does this ‘generic’ come in? What’s the difference?
People are taking AIG’s work, not the other way around.
Charging for the package won’t change anything either.
it’s in the 3D models. There are settings in the graphics settings (at the bottom) to 'use generic models for AI/Player aircraft). This will display AI and/or player aircraft as a lower polygon generic model. This can help a LOT with performance, especially in crowded areas.
But it seems to also have an effect on ATC then calling them ‘generic’? Or is that a different issue? Seem unnecessary to call them differently. But maybe I’m mixing up even more stuff.
these addons will come it takes a lot of time to make all the planes and liveries…hundreds of them.
If ingame ATC doesn’t have the information available to link it to an aircraft type, it will call it ‘generic’, which is better than the plane not showing up at all in live traffic 
You mean the AIG one? Are you aware of some other developers working around it?
See, now you’re confusing me… this is why I keep going around in circles on this subject. You mean AI traffic? Why would it have to call say a Lufthansa Flight (live traffic), generic? If it has the data of the airplane?
AIG is the main add on people are waiting for, but there is FSLTL who are working on live traffic but I believe it will be based off Asobo’s Ai system whereas AIG are making their own. AIG will also have live traffic anyway.
