TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have been looking for some good FSX traffic add-on, and I've heard of all the popular ones like UT Live, WOAI, MT6, etc., but which one is ACTUALLY the best? (freeware or payware) I've been an experienced FSX player for two years now, and an enthusiast forever. Be sure to check out my blog on here, I blog daily about everything aviation!

llivaudais Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The "best one" is the one that more closely matches your "wants" in an AI package. If you can't list what you want, no one can tell you which is best for YOU. The means you need to read the descriptions and maybe make a little table/list of their features and get whichever one offers the best match to what you think you want. My own experience with an AI traffic package may not be useful for you but I'll outline what I did... While I was still flying FS9, I introduced a friend to the sim and he got crazy to have lots of local traffic for our region; he learned how to make flightplans for GA traffic and I made sure the airports he scheduled had enough parking for the flightplans to work. I bought Ultimate Traffic. It didn't have any military flights but it had pretty good world-wide traffic coverage. I added freeware military traffic, additional GA freeware traffic, a little chopper traffic and a little WOAI. When FSX came out I just copied the traffic files and aircraft over and kept right on going. I don't fly much with AI now because multiplayer has most of my attention but I still use those same aircraft and traffic files in 2 versions of FSX and 2 versions of P3D. I personally have no concern that the traffic isn't "current"; it's just window dressing for me anyway.

Enko Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I like and use World of AI works well enough and freeware with loads of AI s already to download. My two penneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfolsom Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I use Just Flights Traffic Global and have had no problems. I initially tried to use Ultimate Traffic Live but had problems with no ai traffic showing up.

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks guys! I think I might try UT Live, because I had tried JFs traffic 360 a while ago but it was outdated with poor models. Is Traffic Global better?

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just so you know my "wants" are high quality aircraft models, current liveries, and somewhat current models.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Then you want to go to AIG and download individual flight plans from there, and get the individual models and liveries as required. Models are available from FAIB (freeware), FSXPAI (payware) and other places, liveries from a lot of places. It is granted more work than in getting a package like UT Live, but it is flexible and you keep it up to date yourself. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I might also try World of AI, because on flyawaysimulation.com they have all the airline packages.

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 You mean the liveries are outdated? I've been an experienced FSX player for two years now, and an enthusiast forever.

kingnorris Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 You mean the liveries are outdated? I’m thinking that’s what he means. Also the planes themselves. Example: Allegiant no longer flies the MD-80’s. Now they’re exclusively Airbus. And Southwest has added the 737-800 series.

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Oh okay, then I think I'll try Just Flight Traffic Global.

il88pp Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The woai packages are not that old. They all got overhauled and updated recently. The fsx packages now have pretty goodlooking aircraft models. Woai has a nice easy setup, is free, and creates a lovely busy atmosphere around you at the airports. Also easy to make adjustments to. And easy to get help with, as everybody here uses it or used it at some point. Well worth trying out at least for a while.

TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Oh ok. Do they have the overhauled updated version of the woai packages on flyawaysimulation?

il88pp Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Have you not yet looked at the WOAI site? You should look the packages you want up on the WOAI site itself. Then click the download links (for the fsx packages! ) from there. Use the AVSIM links. They have all packages, Flightsim.com links on the woai site are not always working. (You'l need to join the Avsim library free membership before you can download.) make sure you download the FSX packages. This is a list on their site of recent packages. (Not from yesterday, but not ancient either. Understandable, as such complete packages, and checking of each and every plane shows at every airport is a lot of work. So is making models and textures.) https://www.world-of-ai.com/packages.php And this page is the Woai site's list of all packages: https://www.world-of-ai.com/allpackages.php Also on the Woai site you will find links to download the woai installer, and instructions about low to use the installer.
