GA-Traffic General Aviation traffic generator released

[in_04]

Hi all,
I just upload my program 'GA-Traffic' to the library. It should show up later today.

GA-Traffic is the first and maybe only GA traffic generator specially build for FS2004. It is very straightforward and do all generation work for you.

Features:
+ Generate GA traffic for every installed airport of the whole FS2004 world at once
+ Full automatic detection of installed planes and airports
+ Simulate different GA traffic behavior
+ 'Virtual landing fees' unique algorithm to avoid GA traffic generation on busy commercial airports
+ Amphibian planes used only near seaports
+ Amount of plane usage selectable for every livery
+ Different plane usage (Taxi, Business, Rental, Student, Club and Private) selectable for every livery
+ Unique 'Make AI' function to reduce the texture size of addon planes to hold the Frames per second up.
+ Proofed Aircraft files for correct AI flying behavior
+ Integrated TTools from Lee Swordy, no need to manual generate the traffic files.

Copyrights and Credits:
This program is made by Markus Brunner (in_04@web.de) and is total Freeware.
You can distribute it only as Freeware and if you respect the copyright of the included helper programs (TTools from Lee Swordy, Imagetool from Microsoft and NVDXT and READDXT from Nvidia).

The program use TTools from Lee Swordy for BGL file generation.

I thanks all my ALPHA and BETA testers without the program never would be made.

Sounds great, will it "play nicely" with Ultimate Traffic installed?

Yes, it is the perfect addition for UT. I use UT by myself and always missed the GA part.

Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Sounds great Markus. This is a badly-needed addition. Those of us who fly mostly GA VFR will be forever in your debt. Thanks.

All we need now is a library update (hint, hint...:-) ).

[MeltedPixel]

Yay! I can't wait! Finally my GA 'ports will be full with traffic :)

Sorry for that, but this is not in my hand :-)

[W2DR]

I know Markus. Nothing you can do. Just a little jab at the library guy(s) here to hurry :-) . But I've now tried it and it's brilliant. What a super add-on. This will surely be one of the best-ever "must haves". Thanks again.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be on the Alpha test team towards the end, and this program is simply amazing!

I had created my own traffic addon for the airport I fly out of in real life, but I deleted it for testing this program, and it created more accurate traffic for the airport than I had!

I highly recommend using Chuck Dome's aircraft for AI. They convert quite nicely with the program and there are a good variety of them, right from singles to twins to GA jets.

I got it today (ga-traff.zip correct?) and the readme states it's a beta version.
