Matt_B_1978 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi all, just got a brand new PC and P3D and am in the process of setting it all up but have come across something odd. I can't see traffic in ORBX Central for P3D. Is there any AI traffic from ORBX for P3D or will I have to use either the default traffic or another payware AI traffic product? Thanks, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi Matt, There are files in the freeware sections for AI traffic for both AUS v2/New Zealand and North America listed here: https://orbxdirect.com/freeware If not already in your account (make sure you have the option to show all products, not just installed products in Central) then add them via Orbx Direct and install from your copy of Central.

Ken Terry Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Matt I recommend you install UT Live. It is the best and most popular AI Traffic add-on. see http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=utlive Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelgrant Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 In FSX, I had been using a lot of WOAI traffic and was disappointed when P3D4 appeared, that many of the aircraft were no longer compatible, and it was too much “trackle” to try and convert things to work. So I moved to the payware MyTraffic which is pretty good but the aircraft graphics did not match WOAI planes. But I did not realize that Alpha India had made such strides in developing AI traffic. Now the Alpha India aircraft are right up there and I have installed many of the airlines I am interested in. A very easy and straightforward installation with a special click program for P3D4, although somewhat time consuming. But it’s FREE!! And they use the 2018-19 active flight programs for the different airlines, so my airports are swarming with AI traffic. I have just had a niece from Zurich staying with us, and there was their Edelweiss aircraft sitting at the gate at CYVR, on the correct date! I have not detected any conflict with the ORBx AI traffic programs. Nigel Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(p3d has quite a bit of AI itself....check the setup page under traffic and you can set the level you want. All fake airlines, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLSTON Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I would like a small amount of Civil airlines AI traffic, can UT be adjusted for this ? as the last AI software I had back in FSX created too many. Also I use the excellent freeware MIAW Matrix for Military AI traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The advantage of UT Live and Just flight's Traffic Global is, that they run completely running outside the simulator. This means that you can set the traffic sliders in the simulator to zero and unburden the simulators processor core which should lead to better performance.

I've often wondered how the Orbx AI is affected by the in-sim AI traffic settings, but never bothered to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3D still has to load the physical models, so there's still gonna be a hit. I realize people want traffic outside Australia/New Zealand, but Graham's freeware traffic is perfect for the area. It includes airlines, GA, and military, tons of models and beautiful paints, all compatible with P3D. I've never used it with the sliders below 100%, both on a GTX 1060 and a 1080. Tiny hit on FPS, and no stutters. And the Orbx AI is controlled by the P3D sliders, Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Hobson Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 hour ago, bvdboomen said: Yes it does Stewart. Thank you. I think I'll go with a combination of both UTLive and Orbx AI, as long as the computer can handle the workload. Outside PNW and those areas of Canada where the Orbx NA AI is active, it's a moot point of course, since only UTLive AI will be active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
