Traffic 2005

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Is anyone else using Traffic 2005 yet? I don't spot any comments about it
yet.

I've had a quick play this evening after it plonked on my doormat
yesterday - nice to see a range of real life airliners at my favourite
airports again (I used to use Ultimate Traffic but lost the installer in a
PC upgrade and never put it back).

First opinion of the British ATC voices is - yuck. They are slow and sound
like a computer, so I've turned those off. The AI Smooth tool seems to be
working - lots of planes being instructed into holds and no "go-arounds"
noticed yet. Did wait an extraordinary time on a taxiway whilst a plane was
on finals 10 miles out - plenty of time for me to depart. Still, could
admire the scenery for a bit.

Tool to speed up the taxi speeds of AI aircraft is very nice.

My planes now seem to be taking off on the grass at Stansted with Gary
Summons scenery - I'll hold out for a fix on that.

As I said, only played for an hour - more experimenting to follow I expect!

D.

Hi,

Yes, they actually fly racetrack patterns. The freeware version is
available as AISmooth at his web site:

Apparently, that software has been removed from the sg-flightware website.

woohoo got traffic2005

first thing i had to do was reduce the AI slider down to 60ish, because the
fps at gatwick was like 2fps with 180 aircraft in the area...... LOL

However the so called "British" voices are a total piss take. Its not the
1900s anymore, its 2005, ive not heard ONE british person talk like this,
and it really pisses me off.

The ATC "British" voices are more like Australians, with "good day" at the
end... Great shame they had to take the piss out of "British" voices
again.....

Anyway it seems good so far, only problems ive seen is AIsmooth doesnt seem
to work too great with the volume, however im not supprised!

Yes Bart Simpson has a great 1920's British accent. I guess they'll catch up
one day

hehe that bart simpson is great ;-)

AIsmooth, and the one included with FS traffic2005 are basicaly totaly the
same, apart from more options in the FS traffic version. The program WORKS
ok, however i found GA aircraft seem to screw it up totally. Simply because
GA aircraft seem to always jump infront of the faster airliners, and its the
airliners that always get the Goarounds/ orders to stop coming in.

I also noticed some AI aircraft taxing through other AI aircraft???
