• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello

FSX has a feature, which does not exist in exactly this form in FS9, namely Cars, Trucks etc moving on roads.

Is it possible to achieve this also for the FS9 with existing tools/methods?
I am thinking of existing AI-Traffic both with airplanes and with ships on water.

How about road traffic?

with kind regards

Helli
 
Hi Helli,

actually, there are a number of different options for adding dynamic objects. For example, Autoasm can add road traffic to vectors - http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php...ic_id=29036&mesg_id=29036&listing_type=search - though I haven't tried this myself. Also, several airport add-ons use dynamic vehicle traffic created with alternative methods. You should be able to find helpful threads here via the Search function.

Other types of AI - aircraft and ships - can probably be added in similar manner. For ship, however, I prefer "standard" AI methods because they allow for dynamic effects attached to the vessels. See my http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004ai&DLID=42950 "starter kit" or some of my landscape add-ons (Victoria, Columbia River Gorge, Glacier Bay) for applications of AI ships.

Cheers, Holger
 
Hello Holger

thank you so much for your answer and your advice.

You confirm my suspicion, that AI-Traffic is one solution (I have flown many times now over your ships near Juneau!!).

The other method sounds good too and I shall follow it up.

Thanks again
