P3dv5 Sdk

[Lorrine Hatala]

Imiss my AI traffic in P3Dv5. Scouring the internet and looking at what's out there leaves me more confused than when I started! Are there any good AI programs out there, either free or pay, that work with P3Dv5 and are are worth the money of payware?

Thanks Craig! I did take a quick look at it but balked at the price, at least until I move more and more into P3Dv5. Still waiting on some scenery updates first. I don't like losing some of my paid for aircraft that aren't working in v5 but I have enough to play with now, esp with some A2A aircraft. I don't really fly all that much except for approaches while testing, but I do enjoy the AI flights adding to the airport realism. Really miss that part. Thanks again.

Thanks again Craig. I did spend over an hour getting to grips with AIG but in the end the "one-click" solution won me over. Have to find something to spend money on, this Covid stuff has shrunk my world a bit. Thankful for flightsims.

You mates in OZ have done a great job in keeping the virus at bay with just over 100 deaths , where here in the States we are nearing 140K in deaths . Hang in there Andy , hopefully this will be in our rear view mirror a year from now .

In line with Ian, I can not recommend AIG enough. By far the best AI for flightsim and the Australia and New Zealand coverage is in line with the Orbx AUNZ AI coverage, which many payware addons seem to fail miserably at.

As well as this, another member of the AIG forums developed a tool that can change AI in the sim, like deleting approaching and departing traffic and limiting traffic to save some FPS - this can be found here.

4) Superb graphics, especially the PBR textures. A vast array of repaints, for example, all the American Airlines retro liveries, accurate renditions of airlines such as Norwegian, Frontier, Ryanair, Southwest that have multiple livery variations for the same model.

The setup basically entails ensuring you have an active account for AVSIM library, Flightsim.com and the AIG website (all free). You also need to download the P3D SDK plus of course any payware AI models you choose to use.

The first time you run the platform, you need to point the installer to the location you have the SDK and where you want your install to go (43Gb ish). It will then prompt you to log into those websites so it can access the models, flightplans and re-paints, it does the rest.

Just another fan of AIG here. This is one instance where freeware actually far outshines payware, in both model and texture quality. I actually have it installed for v4.5, but just added the traffic files to my v5 scenery library and everything works. AI traffic has never looked so good.

Have to say I'm a huge fan of Alpha India Group(AIG). Free and quite flexible. It will take a little tweaking to get it just right with you hardware but well worth it. It maybe free but it is quite polished and professionally done.

HI I purchased Traffic Global from Justflight, but after following download and installation procedures I found an icon on my desktop, TrafficGlobal, when I open this as administrator it wont open or start, do you had similar? I run p3dv5.1 windows-10 Pro 64bit'. I uninstalled, re downloaded etc in different locations but nothin helped.

Yes. There is a fantastic freeware program called 'AI Companion'.

It's a very powerful in-sim AI traffic management tool.

Want to limit the total number of AI aircraft? Want to limit to traffic at one specific airport or a handful of specific ones? Want to remove all AI on the ground when above a pre-determined altitude? Want to retain all enroute traffic when above another pre-determined altitude?

The creator is very active both with updating the program and responding to queries on the AIG (Alpha India Group) AI traffic forums.

If the mods here don't mind a freeware utility being highlighted, here is the link to the specific forum thread over at AIG with the file link in the first pinned post:

The flightplans are derived from real world schedules, so you will see plenty of QFA at Sydney, AAL at Dallas Fort Worth etc, and nothing unrealistic . I have about 1400 flightplans installed but if you only fly to certain areas you can just install the flightplans that interest you.

I never been able to see jetway in p3dv5. The weird part is that each time I launch the SODE Platform Manager; P3DV is always not registered. Even more suprising, the SODE is present in the add on menu of p3dv5

That folder is not used by the SODE Installer at all. It should point to the SODE install path, which is C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\P3Dv5 per default (this is where the add-on.xml is located).

It is the same as on my machine and it is the path where the Prepar3D config files are located. One of those config files is important, the add-ons.cfg: It is responsible for loading add-ons into Prepar3D and should contain the entry for SODE (pointing to the add-on.xml), e.g. in my case, the add-ons.cfg looks like this:

Why do you think it is wrong? It is the same as on my machine and it is the path where the Prepar3D config files are located. One of those config files is important, the add-ons.cfg: It is responsible for loading add-ons into Prepar3D and should contain the entry for SODE (pointing to the add-on.xml), e.g. in my case, the add-ons.cfg looks like this:

But the add-ons.cfg file is for sure corrupt. So I would just delete that entire line of odd characters, or even better, delete the whole add-ons.cfg file. (You might need to re-install that Aerosoft Geneva again to get the entry).

Obviously, the ENGM SimObjects are not installed. Copied from another post:

Those red crosses mean that object files (model files, *.mdl) are missing on your system. Maybe they are not installed.

Those object files are usually installed by the installer program of the airport scenery you bought.
