[ Closed ] Are you need X-Plane air/ground traffic? (Page 1 of 4)

This is what we need!!! Looks really amazing!

Things what I usually dislike for traffic add-ons nowadays:
- Aircraft textures too low
- Aircraft nose wheel does not turn at all
- Aircraft does not make smooth turns but 'blocky'.
- Aircraft pushbacks with reverse thrust and not just with a nice cool pushback truck.
- Aircraft has a not realistic take-off flight path. It does not rotate realistic, has a very low vertical speed climb path et cetera
- Aircraft are connected to unrealistic parking places/gates. It's like a terminal for heavy's only, but a 737 or even a Cessna is parked between them.

Just some items to note! Not items to ask to implement. Just consider it if you want

This looks like the start of something fantastic. Very interested in this.

With regards to FS Stevens comment, I think I understand that he was commenting about traffic addons in general. Comments which were not directed to what he may have seen in your preview video.

Anyway, very keen to see this develop. It looks very smooth. As soon as a version is available to test, I will definitely help try it out.

Thanks,

Aaron

Sure!

We need talk about some another thing -

- scenery (most of hi-quality scenery not ready for traffic and need to be more or less reworked)
- atc WED scenery format for taxiways not ready (not include wingspan/icao category info)
- atc WED gate format description not include parking/towing type, also wingspan/icao category info
- need a lot of animated acf's model with a lot of textures
- need understand shedullers source
- need make price low as possible

ideas?

Hi,
This is very good news, and an exciting prospect. If it's by JAR, it will be great, of that I am sure.
I think that AI traffic means different things to different people; for me, I would like to see FSX/P3D style AI:
Scheduled traffic, good aeroplane detail, many AI types, fair quality liveries (not too low but not too high for FPS's), airborne and ground traffic, TCAS hits, realistic routing (SID/STAR), ability to add/change traffic schedules.
What is difficult is putting the above into XP, because at present, WT has the capacity to be great too, but it's involved and complex. By this, I mean ground routes need programming (as you mention above in your own post) and scheduling is very awkward to arrange.
For me, right now, I use WT in a different way BECAUSE the above elements of ground routes and schedules are too difficult to use, and even the random function is too complex for MY liking.
What I want now is traffic around me in the air and if ground routes exist then on the ground too, and I particularly mind what airline (but it would be nice to choose based on region you're in) but I do care what aircraft types are shown, so no 747's at smaller airports.
I use LTG (local traffic generator), as I worked with the author to make it a better random generator, so one can chose aircraft types to fit where you are, and select the type of airborne traffic you want (from where you are, to where you, over flying etc).
This then creates WT route files for a set period of time, and you can run it during preflight, whilst in the air, on approach, etc.
why? Simply because I want to see other aeroplanes around me, and I'm not fussed what or where, and that's because XP is not really AI ready.
Another program called Pilot2ATC is for spoken ATC, but this can gives you taxi routes, so somehow it manages to "see" the best route to a holding point or gate.
Anyway, hope this is of some use, even if it is just my thoughts.

Whoa! This looks like the start of something great, it even looks good as is, but I'm sure there's a lot more work to be done. Count me in. If you need a tester, I'd be happy to help.

WOW, great work as usual!

This would be an instant buy I believe for the  X-plane community!  I own all of your products, I will continue to support you. As you can see, we are ready to assist you in any way possible.

Can we test it ? Ill be back end of the week after a almost 6 weeks x-plane-break

;(

Good day,
yes I will be willing test on the iMac when you are ready I hope you are have fun with you new family I just met my brother for the first time in 50 years ... I had so much fun ...
your friend,
Brian

Looks great JAR. Something that would make this perfect would be if you could contact the developer of RC4XP (ATC) to see if you could get the two plugins to communicate with each other. Having realistic ATC controlling hundreds of aircraft would be much better than the traffic add-ons for the other sims.

If you are still looking for schedules, I would recommend that you have it be able to read the FSX format as there are already tons of schedules available from places like world of ai and alpha india group.

The problem using flightradar24 is what they have not API. The services like flightradar24 what have API have unreal price. Also, flightradar24 impossible use ground movement - anyway need make own ground movement via plugin.
