but the question is how do you change the PAI models in UT to AIA so that UT will be using AIA models with nice AIA paints? I can worry about the flightplans later. Im tired of seeing this blocky 767.

The Rundown
The choice is completely up to you. The three methods have their pros and cons:

Custom AI made with MRAI and AIA/FSP etc.
PROS: Best FPS around, nice paints and models, realistic flightplans, free.
CONS: Time consuming, requires a good amount of background knowledge of AI and aircraft in FS9.

Project AI
PROS: Easy to install, requires almost no background knowledge, is free.
CONS: Hard on FPS, models and paints are crappy quality, not every airline is covered, takes a while in install, flightplans aren't the most realistic.

Ultimate Traffic
PROS: Extremely easy to install, requires no more work after installing the program, covers 800 airlines, the fastest way to get traffic
CONS: Uses PAI V1 models and often substitutes aircraft with others, unrealistic flightplans, crappy paints and models, hard of FPS

The choice is yours. Whichever method you choose, you will have AI in your sim. Some of the AI is better than others, so you have to choose whether you want good quality with hard work, or quantity with no work.

is that all the choices we have??? isnt there any payware ai traffic that is not hard on the framerates???

anyone know what happened to PAI? They were pretty kool just to have decent AI, even if they ate some FPS and had unrealistic flightplans. When I can't play online, id rather not play alone. Anyways, if someone can tell me what happend to PAI it would be great. As i can see, their site has gone dead.

Gone dead? Maybe they should put more BATTERIES IN IT THEN HUH?!?!?  :D   :lol: If I had money to bet, Id say you could find them on Avsim... Its just a good guess.

i searched...nothing there. That sucks...i had a lot of airlines from PAI and it didn't hit my PC that hard, now i just want a very few airlines...just to keep me interested when i don't feel like going online. I don't know what else to do...i am not going to pay for something thats pretty similar to PAI...

Hi Folks

re: ProjectAI
Their url is http://www.projectai.com/
(not as previously posted).

They aren't dead & gone,
their hosting ISP had a couple of intermittent problems recently,
which also affected FS-Gateway & all other hosted sites.

Whilst ProjectAI has released 'Official' packages for -
177 Airlines (+ 12 historical)
9 Cargo
18 Military

These should all be considered as 'base' packages,
as several are obviously quite old now.

However, most people don't realise, if you install these,
you can then download their currently available updates,
from the Project AI Files Library.

These also contain various additional airlines & cargo 'unofficial' packages,
i.e. some have not been packaged yet for use with the PAI installer.

I'd also recommend World of AI,
a spin-off by various PAI contributors, which now contains 58 packages.

Well, With UT At my Local airport I saw up to 5 767-300 (Qantas) At a time, For the past few years the only 767-300 coming in and out of the airport regulary is from Australian Airlines once a day.
Well, now you won't have to worry about the livery! It's only the matter of getting rid of 3 of them. :D

This topic is one years old today. I'm working on getting permission to update it to include any new traffic programs/developement groups.

Thank you for mentioning World of AI as I've been busy downloading their packages lately.
I was just wondering how you folks compare the quality with the others already discussed in this thread.

Thanks.

Sorry, I asked the AI question on a new topic before I noticed this thread. I guess I should read everything before I jump the gun.

Thanks for the good info.

Evan, very nice post, I was looking for a tutorial that explain how to install AI traffic manually, and now I'm with 5 airlines compiled! of course i'm gonna compile more airlines!
i didn't know it was easy to do this, it's a little boring, but when you finish the work, it's very pleasant to see airports that aren't empty anymore, with acfts. taxiing, taking-off and landing...
thank you very much for the tutorial!

The OP was posted in 2005 - does the same advice still stand?

Just a thought...
