I shouldn’t have used the word ‘live’ . By ‘live’ I simply meant NOT just static eye candy, so perhaps should have said ‘active’ or ‘NPC’, hopefully you understand my meaning.
I don’t need the AI to be live as in real world, (maybe third party addons will produce those in the future anyway) ; but I do expect them to be SIMULATING believable movement of air traffic at the gate, on the taxiways, and in the air. So they should be present and in a cycle of dormant / loading / pushback / taxi / landing etc etc.
That is not unreasonable, and is certainly sorely missing here.
