Not quite what I thought...

Well, having waited a while for the boxed copy of Traffic X and looking forward to installing it, I must say I am quite dissapointed. Having spent 5 hours trying to set it up and get it working (eventually did) it must be said that all of the fanfare of Traffic X is not really what I expected. I thought today I would do a flight from Bristol (EGGD) to Dusseldorf and see what Traffic X is really like and to kind of give it a second chance to see If I was moaning to myself over nothing. Apart from having 3 Aurigny Trilanders (these never come to Bristol) and a Aurigny ATR this seemed odd, as well as having no Ryanair aircraft (usally 2 at around 8am) and no Easyjet aircraft at all (2nd biggest base in the UK). Having then flown over London to Brussels area, not one aircraft in the sky, radio was hardly busy, just the occasional BA or Lufthansa. I had more aircraft that had no callsigns at FL36 than anything else (I did not think this was to happen with Traffic X), but on the plus side Dusseldorf was busy, but 6 BA aircraft all going to London I think was excessive. After this flight I thought I would check other UK airports at diffrent times to see what they had. I noticed that at near enough most airports had an Aeroflot TU154, Air France had a big base in Manchester, and some Chinese A320's were scattered around. Other little things (which are minor really and we can't cater to all tastes) KLM don't seem to have F70's, Air France have no ATR's, Ryanair only really fly to Dublin, have not seen a Flybe aircraft yet, and couple of other places etc etc. Please don't see this as a rant, just frustration. I am now going to try and alter some schedules, and change the UI Manufactors in the Aircraft.cfg file to show the airline and not just 'Boeing' or 'Airbus'. I deleted WOAI of my PC when this was delivered yesterday as I thought this would be far superior, but shedules/aircraft not correct and other little things not right. I appreciate that this is a big product for Just Flight but I thought a little more focus on the actual AI aircraft/schedules could of been better. So currently just dissapointed and frustrated, don't expect this to be the best product on the market.

Hello, thanks for your reply. There was 5 AF flights at Manchester, when I moved my aircraft there, just that I don't know a time ever to have that many AF aircraft there!

And particularly realistic in the middle of the night, when at many airports there should be next to nothing active.

Exactly my point Conburt, I am now having to go through all of the flight plans to amend them, and this does not work either (kind of hit and miss, I am obviously doing something wrong!)

Hello again,

Now that I have managed to get my head around the flight plans bit (altering etc), I have created new flightplans for Air Southwest using the Dash 8's. Even though there are no pre planned flights, but there is model & texture for the Air Southwest Dash 8's, they do not seem to show up at my airport (Bristol) for the flight times that I have created.

Thanks for your reply. I have readjusted all of the aircraft that use the airport to a smaller wing area, so I have alot more spaces. There are spaces available for the times they are due to leave, just no planes there?
