Hello All
I was noticing that in my ultimate traffic my planes pile up one behind the other and they seem to be at a very close distance and the same amoutn of distance from each other. Now is there a way I can not have them pile up and look like they are robots exatly some number of inches from each other? I mean there is a solution for the lights not all being sencronized but is ther a solution for this? thx

You could try and reduce the amount of AI traffic so there isn't so much in settings Very Happy

I doubt if you are going to find an answer to this question.

Look at it this way---If there was a big gap between some of the aircraft, some pilots further back in the line would probably be yelling at the guy in front to "move up--move up--move up". Cool

This can happen when there are duplicate flight plans or, as mentioned, excessive traffic for that airport. One utility is called AISmooth, it is used to control spacing of AI approaches to airports. Another handy little device for the experienced modder is called TTools Companion. It can check for duplicate flight plans, aircraft and airports and even merge them to remove duplicates. This creates a single traffic.bgl for FS. I do recommend that you be familiar with FS' AI features and cfg's before using TTools Companion or you could easily muss things up and kick yourself for not having a backup your traffic files like you were supposed to.

Since your are the Pilot in Command, you must make the decisions. We can not tell you what to do. Cool

You can yell "Move-Up, Move-Up Move-UP".
You can reduce the volume of "Traffic".
You can download and install AI Smoothing and see if you like it.

Ultimate Traffic was just another way of achieving what you could do yourself, and didnt have the time and patience to do, but somebody else did it for a reasonable enough price that you now own it. Once the program has run it's course and created a traffic.bgl it's all FS again. So, yes, it will work.

Actually reading your Q&A session has helped me out because I have (had) the same questions. "There is no such thing as a stupid question" as the saying goes. Thanks and good flying. Laughing
