Jack Sawyer Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't know if this is a good place to put this question and mods please remove it if it's not appropriate. Has anyone tried the new Ultimate Traffic Live yet? If so is it a VAS killer? Is it any good? I have P3D and would like some traffic, I have Orbx's AI traffic which is nice but it's just GA. I'd like some big jets too as the airports I fly to are ghost towns. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 No I have not tried it Jack but I must get my AI traffic going again. As you say empty airports just don't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnycrockett Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I've been using it Jack & so far I'm very happy with it. From what I can tell it hasn't had an impact on FPS or VAS for me but then I haven't been measuring either. I can still complete a flight I could complete before without running into issues while using it if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 This new UT is still in beta or is it officially been released? I still have UT2 and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I got it and like it. You can try it and if you don't like it you got 30days to return it. It makes the airports and air ways a lot nicer. Its fun just to sit there and listen and watch all the aircraft moving about the airport with ATC. If you own a previous version you get a 40% discount.

As you say empty airports just don't look right. Yeah, it's creepy actually. I land and there's nothing, not one plane unless there's static planes like at KSAN or LOWI. 2 hours ago, johnnycrockett said: I've been using it Jack & so far I'm very happy with it.

Hi Stew, I had the old UT2 installed per Elaine (Poppet's) instructions but I uninstalled it, took up too much VAS. Not officially, funny how more and more companies are doing this, selling something still in beta, or alpha! 1 hour ago, FreeBird said: I got it and like it.

I think I can get the 40% as I have the original. I used to love and sit and just watch the AI traffic all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Freebird, may I ask if it covers the world, or is it just USA airports? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ken Ken, it covers the world as far as I know, I have loaded up KSFO, KDEN, EGKK, LOWW, YSSY, YMML and all of these airports had traffic much better than MT6 in my opinion.

gumbypickett Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well I'm interested in trying this out, it sounds pretty good. Is there a purchase site someone could recommend me to? Also are their models as good as the FTX Freeware models which I only use in Aus and N.Z? cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PupaZebu Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I bought it this week and can also say that it makes a huge difference. There is really a lot going on and, like FreeBird said, it's really fun just to sit there and watch all the planes being busy. I got the sliders to 100 % in the control app and 0 % in the sim itself and did not regonize any impact on fps or VAS, what really puzzled me. The best things is that the planes depend on the location. In Honolulu you can see besides the big planes a lot of island hoppers summing around. In Anchorage, for example, are a lot more props and turbo props than big jetliners. Whereas Schiphol is dominated by big blue KLM fatties Feels authentic.

NN_Avirex Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have it and I confirm, this is the AI traffic I was waiting for. You have to set your area, then the time and launch the traffic simulation: You will find very realistic traffic everywhere, and even at 100% small airports will have poor traffic as it should be, and of course big airports will be full. Nice models to compare to my traffic, very nice sound too (specialy compared with the terrible UT2 sounds). No FPS impact. I don't regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when I shut down P3D it'll shut down the client, most times not. But for something that's still in beta I love it. Especially like seeing Qantas planes in Australia! I will never get tired of that kangaroo on the tail, I hope they never change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third, it installs natively into P3dV3.But don't expect either any big performance improvements or a host of improved models and updated liveries. I'm hoping that we see both in the future.

Thanks TTM Hi TTM, yup, bought it a Flight1, it's a pre-release or whatever they wanna call it. It works great, when in Australia I have Qantas, when in Atlanta I have DAL, when in KSAN I have SW. I love it but sometimes I get a client stopped working box when closing P3D. They're working on the final release, but I was really lonely in my little world so I bought it. I like it and recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Live tucked away somewhere? D/Loading FSW at the moment. 15 Gb zipped to 33 Gb full I believe. Early users are offering the usual gamut of reactions - horrified through to I like it. Time will tell. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NN_Avirex Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 After some various flights with UT live I'm still not able to say if it's a VAS killer or not. It doesn't get the situation better for sure, and I had a few OOM recently but I also use active sky next and AFCA and it doesn't help at all. Some recent planes are more than suspect too (JSS simulation Transall or Carenado piper Cheyenne). At the end it's almost impossible for me to tell who's responsible here.

NN_Avirex Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I had a flight tonight from LEGR (Granada, Spain) to LPPT (Lisboa, Portugal). Nearly two hours . The aircraft was a Carenado DO 228. Altitude 20000 Ft. Both airports had an active addon scenery, I had my P3D settings at very dense , traffic set at 100% in the sim, 60% in UT live and ASCA on with a heavy weather on departure and very cloudy at destination. I had a maximum VAS at 2200 MB after take off, then it stabilized at 1500, maximum 1600 MB for landing even passing at low altitude above Lisboa. At the end ASCA and UT live didn't make any VAS issue. It seems to depend much more on the scenery you fly above and the aircraft VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
