American Airlines and Ultimate Traffic

**chrispeel** · 10-12-2005, 01:39 PM

I've just read the report on this in the News section.

I got all the American Airlines aircraft into FS9 by simply downloading the repaints for this airline from the UT website.It was fairly easy even for me.Go to KORD and there they all are.

Now I'm confused

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is confused by the article!

I too have Ultimate Traffic for FS9 (got it shortly after it came out) and have plenty of American Airlines AI traffic. Aside from regularly updating UT, I don't think I have done anything to add AA traffic.

AA was not included in Ultimate Traffic because they do not permit the use of their "logo" in payware packages. That is why the liveries were included in the first update (through the UT Updater or on the site) which was available for free.

I too am confused about this article since the UT users should not have to bother about this since this issue has been solved shortly after the original release of the product...

It would appear that the author of that article either doesn't use Ultimate Traffic, or isn't aware of the update function. A disclaimer to the article seems to be in order.

It's about the most uninformed article I've ever seen about FS on any web site.

Not only are AAL repaints available for Ultimate Traffic, My Traffic and Traffic 2005, but there is also two great free American Airlines & American Eagle packages at Project AI - www.projectai.com - with an automatic installer.

"Notice that textures 1, 2, and 3 are all the same: American Airlines. I copied the same American Airlines textures into Texture.1, Texture.2, and Texture.3 overwriting the old ones."

This is a complete newbie waste of resources. Following the information in the article results is 60% of B734 aircraft WORLDWIDE as American Airlines with the others 20% United Airlines and 20% Frontier Airlines.

I cannot believe this one got past the editors.

Well,the author uses UT cos that's what he was talking about wasn't it?

Anyway,glad some of you others were confused.I thought maybe I was misreading things again.

If the author uses UT, he hasn't read the first section of the manual or the readme file which comes up after the install.

If he has UT and followed the install procedure, the entire discussion would be pointless.

UT will automatically update with AAL textures when the Update utility is run the first time.

His solution is also a bit dangerous and prone to creating CTD problems, both from too much AI traffic for the parking, and a corrupt main traffic file.
