/images/notams/notams22/ivao0725.jpgMultiplayer Traffic Library, MTL for short, is an AI trafficlibrary for users on IVAO to see each other while flying. MTL Libraryis maintained by IVAO DevOps MTL Team with help of various paintersand Model Authors. Last year we welcomed the next generation of our famous MultiplayerTraffic Library (MTL) to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, X andLockheed Martin’s Prepar3D. Following the release of this excitingenhancement for users of those platforms, we saw an ever-increasingrequest to bring this next generation to the latest Microsoft FlightSimulator. Today we are pleased to announce that those wishes are becomingtrue. Thanks to hundreds of hours put in by our MTL Designer Team wewelcome the introduction of a truly dedicated Multiplayer TrafficLibrary for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Whether you spend time in thecockpit on IVAO as a commercial airline pilot, defy gravity as ahelicopter pilot or feel the need for speed in a fighter jet, we areenhancing the experience for everyone. We are introducing tonnes of new features, from the very obvious tothe finest of details. So here are just some of the things you canexpect to see: Custom light mapping; the illumination of the cabin at night Handcrafted Military AI aircraft - Special Operations being a major element of IVAO we have implemented several aircraft to complement that aspect of the network, with added sound effects and afterburners (where applicable), these are:Airbus A400M AtlasCASA C-101 AviojetCASA/IPTN CN-235Dassault Mirage 2000Eurofighter TyphoonLockheed Martin F-35 Lightning IILockheed C-130 HerculesLockheed F-117 NighthawkLockheed SR-71 BlackbirdMcDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier IINorthrop Grumman B-2 SpiritNorthrop F-5Northrop T-38 TalonRockwell B-1 LancerHelicopters - Get your hover on and say goodbye to those floating A320s as we introduce the first helicopter MTL in the form of the Airbus Helicopters H135.Engine exhaust - New exhaust effects from both turbine APUs and power plants.Contrails - See the vapour left behind by any turbine or jet-engined aircraft that is operating above FL290.Lighting environment - Say goodbye to the generic lighting on every aircraft and say hello to custom lighting for each aircraft offering a mixture of LED/ halogen lighting, single and double strobes and the distortion of light depth in foggy conditions.Double the texture resolution - Introducing 2k resolution liveries, double the size of previous MTL liveries, for a clearer and more appealing visual experience with the added advantage of PBR (physically based rendering) support to reflect the feel of real-world materials.Multiple sound packs - It is not just a single generic sound pack anymore, we have introduced multiple sound packs for piston, turbine, jet and helicopters to help assist in the immersion of multiple airframe types.Animations - More than ever before. You will now be able to see the transition of gears, the turning of tyres, flaps, slats and spoilers.Dressed for the occasion - Aircraft will now be displayed with the appropriately dressed crew; A flight suit for military aircraft, an airline uniform for commercial flights and a casual outfit for leisurely VFR aircraft.We hope that all of these fantastic new features will truly enhanceyour experience on IVAO using Microsoft Flight Simulator. This issimply the start of the beginning as we adventure further to bring youeven more features and possibilities. The network wishes to add thanks to Aldo, a member of the MTLDesigner Team, who made a substantial contribution to making thismajor feat a possibility. Alongside all these new features will be abrand new version of MTL installer, both of which will be available onthe IVAO software website from 1st August. Source
