1st party traffic programs and MAIW
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever had any first party traffic programs such as My Traffic 2013, Ultimate Traffic 2 or Traffic X installed along with any MAIW packages and if so, were there any complications? I was thinking of buying My traffic 2013 to enrich the civilian side of FSX a little more, but i am not sure if there would be any conflicts between MAIW's packages and those add-on traffic programs.

Ahh!
This question comes up from time to time. The simple answer is yes, but indirectly. You can always add these addons into your system but they may install afcads that will wipe out your bases and they may duplicate traffic that have already installed thereby cluttering up your base.
These addons, the same as our packages, are designed to add traffic to an empty system. Therefore if you have a system added you may get complications.
If it was me I would check around to see if you add or delete traffic from the system you are going to purchase. If you can then you should be able to add it and remove, for example, traffic that would conflict with ours, thereby getting the best of both worlds. If the addon you are purchasing only adds civvie stuff at civvie airfields you should be fine, but the bottom line is that you should be prepared for issues and the more info you have about the system you are buying the better off you will be at sorting any problems out.

Re: 1st party traffic programs and MAIW
Generally those modified airports are added to their own scenery entry, which you can simply disable or delete. At least that was the case with Traffic360 plus. I just deleted them as I really do have a lot of addon airports, enough to support a lot of AI, without them. So my MAIW traffic comes and goes pretty much as advertised.Firebird wrote:These addons, the same as our packages, are designed to add traffic to an empty system.

Also I think with Traffic360+ you can decide which airlines you want and if you want military AI or not.

Ah, I see. I think I will give the Traffic 360 a look. Thanks for the help

Be sure you get updated version or the service pack. Original release was not good, but much better now.
