Realism here is understood that AI planes behave as realistic as possible, and exactly like the user plane. The mission of X-Planes 10 AI is completely different. The art of AI design is to find the compromise line between detail and performance. Airports have a lot of the logic build into their code, like ATC airline codes associated to parking positions. #X PLANE 10 FORUM FULL#The aircraft models used for AI are far simpler than those used for user flying, and the dynamics of AI flights are grossly simplified – they are more vector driven than actually flying with full aerodynamics. To achieve this with acceptable performance, a lot of simplification has to be applied. It is my firm believe that users of a potential AI traffic product for X-Plane 10 will require all this to be maintained, with addition of goodies originating from X-Planes possibilities. Deleting or creation of AI planes in the users view is avoided if possible. The AI traffic is contiguous if possible, aircraft come in from far, land, park for some time, and then depart again. The number of AI planes the user sees therefore is dictated by real world schedules and real world data – there can be more than 200 aircraft on a major airport (KORD, EGLL,…) and up to 1000 aircraft in the nearby area that needs detailed tracking of the AI. Airlines fly into and from airports which fly there in real life, with the correct aircraft types and paint schemes, controlled by the same ATC that controls the user plane, following real world or even real time (MyTraffic Live) schedules, using parking locations reserved for the airlines there in real world (very important in the US). Purpose of AI Traffic is to give the pilot an optical and logical active environment on the airport that simulates real world behavior. #X PLANE 10 FORUM PROFESSIONAL#All known products follow the main concept, MyTraffic Professional at the top of them. The AI concept of MSFS was introduced with FS2002 and improved by FS2004 and further by FSX. This expectation is triggered by the announcement of the X_plane developers that a high end AI engine is one of the main missions of X_plane 10 compared to X-Plane 9. Dear friends, since the sales of XPlane10 start today, you expect an answer for me if, how and when MyTraffic will support X_plane 10.
