Just curious if many of you who only fly from GA fields even bother with AI traffic? They can't be seen while flying in the air and sometimes I wonder what the point is.
It makes a huge difference to the immersion to arrive at a small airport and find a Cessna or whatnot on the grass, or maybe in the circuit.
Way back in the NZ context, we had a number of excellent sceneries which had no AI service at all, being ignored by the purveyors of heavy iron.
We created a nationwide sub-5t AI fleet and it totally transformed the experience.
Making it authentic added to the "eye candy" content for local flyers: "Ooh look there's the plane we used for first solo, parked on the grass at Ardmore!"
The trick is not to expect too much..of course they're not going to be there all the time.
But if you fly enough, there will be enough encounters to make it worthwhile.
Honestly, stick with WOAI...The MyTraffic and Just Flight stuff looks very dated when put next to WOAI.
I would second that; I am just too lazy to hunt down and install the individual airlines and AFCADs from WOAI...
Thanks, I somehow suspected that the newer WOAI would be hard to beat - after all that's why I all but abandoned PAI.
These days I hardly ever fly from AFCAD-only airfields...I'll install a high-quality free-or payware scenery, and then go to WOAI and install traffic for it.
I find it a very powerful feature.
As to military traffic, I couldn't think of a single reason to uninstall the MAIW stuff I have at present, it's brilliant.
