allardjd 1,853 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Does anyone have any recommendations for an in-sim traffic viewer/traffic board for FSX? Freeware preferred but wouldn't be averse to a known good payware one. John Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Doesn't the FSX SDK come with a traffic tool box and viewer John? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I knew about TTools being in there - didn't know about a viewer - will look. It sounds like the price is right. Thanks, John EDIT: Not finding anything like that in there. JDA Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sorry John, I wasn't quite sure what you were after. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looking for a way to bring up a schedule board, traffic map and a way to go to spot view on a selected AI aircraft. I did find AIRound (low-cost payware with free demo) and that seems to be doing the job pretty will, but am still open to other suggestions. John Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Pete Dowson has something called TrafficLook listed in his Useful additional programs topic on his forum. Not sure if it does what you want, and I havn't been able to get it to run on my machine, but it could be worth a look. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks, guys... John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've downloaded and installed TrafficLook from Dowson's page. It's nifty but is intended as a demo of the data that can be pulled out of FS with FSUIPC It's just a table, dynamically updated, but no maps or other features. So far AIRound seems to be the best I've found and it's pretty good. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 This is pretty much resolved. I've gone with AIRound from SimMarket. It's very well done and works well - FSX only. Once downloaded there's a free demo that works for four FS sessions, then you have to register it. It's about $20. I really recommend this one if you're an FS traffic-monger. http://secure.simmar...-x-(v2.0).phtml John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 That's an interesting utility John, it would be good to see how and what you are using it for Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I had a similar utility for FS9 that was part of T2005. I used it mainly for traffic watching and troubleshooting of traffic I added myself. I use a lot of freeware AC (including flyable ones, and some payware) as traffic in FS9 and hope to be able to do the same in FSX. There's nothing quite like being in some obsucre airport somewhere with a load of cabbages in AH and encountering something that you sprinkled into the traffic flight plans randomly months before. This utility has some neat features including some special landing and take-off view options for AI traffic as well as just following them in spot view. It's a great way to get some FS immersion while working on other things without needing to actually fly. John Link to post Share on other sites
