needles 1,010 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for the HU Joe. I already have TX so I may get this to upgrade later. I don't use TX at the moment but I am toying with installing it at some point so I might as well get the upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites
Jess-b 420 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well it looks good. I remember reviewing the original traffic X before it came out. They even used a quote from the review on the box. Thing is I went with UT2 in the end though. I may get traffic 360 for p3d though. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 That sounds like a plan Jess! Mine and John's name was in the manual for TX as a tester! I think John was a tester for 360 as well? Link to post Share on other sites
Jess-b 420 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nice. Superstars in our own right eh! Lol Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I like TrafficX over UT2 as TX gives you a few alternate views, such as Control Tower with radar. pushback and marshaller views and of course good old Spoty. I find it a lot easier to work with than UT2. So with a new upgrade it should be even better, as all the old problems should be solved (fingies crossed). This upgrade should now place it on a level with UT2 if not bettering.. I also like the idea of the latest aircraft and liveries incorporated into the new release, together with improved airport service vehicles. I can then delete FSDT GSX off my computer as that was a complete waste of money.. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Mike, Like Jess, I am presently a UT2 user, I would want to see a review before I purchased as I would be concerned by the effect on FPS. I am sure the functionality would be excellent going by Traffic X. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Mike, TX disables the onboard FSX Ai, so none of FSX Ai show unless you tick der box. The downside is on my version, last issue; is that it does not populate all airports. All the biggies get done but I fly a lot in central Australia so I only see traffic at Alice and Darwin anything smaller is ziltsh.. But I like to explore in the Marshallers van so am happy with TX but hope the upgrade fullfills a lot of anomalies and repopulates the smaller fields. An improvement of Airport vehicles will be most welcome more akin to AES/GSX colours will make the environment more eye friendly.. The other to look out for is American Airlines have a thing about their logo, so all AA are called Merican.. I can live with that, mind I should change to UT2 before I upgrade to see if UT2 is better as I have not used UT2 after buying.. At least I ain't got an SWMBO so don't get shouted at with the "To much time or money on that B****y computer" .. : Link to post Share on other sites
Jess-b 420 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Jaydor, Ut2 is pretty good on fps, and I like the way the aircraft follow recognised flight paths, and on real world shedulals. But when it comes to airports though ut2 can seem a little light on the ground at some. The reason is that it only spawns aircraft that are due to depart within 20 mins of your flight time. Go to EGLL during the day, say midday and its chockablock. Go there say at 22.30 and it's nearly deserted. Vancouver is difficult to get traffic at as well. That's the worst thing I think. If your in to customisation though, the ut2 is the way to go. Download the free power pack and you can tinker to your hearts content including loading in your own custom aircraft models, own timetables etc. WOAI is a great source of free models. As for traffic x. At the time my system wasn't to the spec it is today and I had a very late beta to review before the main release. I preferred the idea of real world shedulals to traffic x's ability to create fictional timetables with fictional aircraft (virgin Atlantic flying Concorde for example.) I note that concorde is still available in the new traffic 360 I'd like to see a review before I purchase traffic 360 for p3d (ut2 does work, but flight 1 says its a big no no on licence issues.) but I think for P3d, my traffic may be the way I go. Best wishes, Jess B Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks Jess, I'll swap over to UT2 and give me a week or two and will update the difference.. James Link to post Share on other sites
Jess-b 420 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 No problem Jaydor. Anything for a fellow welsh valleys dweller. Lol Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes Mike, it is controlled via the sliders. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I reviewed TX when it came out for CP and I think I said something along the lines of 'It was so realistic it was unrealistic' with the amount of traffic at major airports, plus there was the fps issue. I use UT2 now and it's a lot better on FPS but the traffic is a little sparse when you get off the beaten track Link to post Share on other sites
