hello all,
i know its been a pretty long time since i last spoke here, but i've got a thought for an FS2004 addon, that could be the best one yet.
its an AI traffic/ATC tool, that replaces all the default sounds with real ones.
and, the AI aircraft start their engines, the same way a user flyable one does.
also, pilots and ground crew spawn by the aircraft, meaning you can see them board the aircraft before they get going!
 
Having some people around AI aircraft, I thought about this already before. As some parked AI aircraft show an access ladder or stair, it evntually should be possible to add static people to them. But that must be done while creating the model file.

i know FS9 is an old sim, but i think this would add a whole new level of immersion!
but i don't know anyone who would like to make this. i know there are things like AIFP, but i feel we need something new!
 
New levels of immersion were reached by FSX, P3D and MSFS now. Doimg the best, and maybe a little more, with what we could acquired for FS9 up to now, will probably remain the only thing we can expect from its still inexhaustible possibilities. Things that are difficult or impossible to do with other sims, BTW.

Fortunately, there are still a few dedicated people who provide us with new an highly welcome sceneries. However, redesigning aircraft from scratch would require too much time, and ultimately, the interest is too low. This is an unfortunate, but realistic conclusion.

As for AIFP, it's purely an AI flight planning tool and doesn't offer any significant innovations. Not even from here to the moon!
