Here are some screenshots from an attempt at the SAAF AI traffic.

That looks great...but I can't imagine what it would do to my framerates on my dinosaur laptop

BTW, what scenery is that? Obviously not default

Keep up the good work. Eventually maybe we'll have some mirages and hawks

Or is that Zimbabwe?

No, this is the Aeroworx scenery for Ysterplaat AFB in Cape Town. I have however removed a whole lot of aircraft from this AFB since Ysterplaat mainly has a few Oryx (Super Puma) and DC3 aircraft.
The frame rates are ok after a minute or so since Cape Town is fairly heavy on frame rates with the International Airport, Cape Town Harbor, Robben Island, Ysterplaat AFB, Cape Town City scenery as well as the Cape Town terrain mesh that I have.
Fortunately the SAAF bases never have too much aircraft so this screenshot is a bit of an overkill w.r.t aircraft you can see. The only AFB that will have quite a few a/c is Langebaanweg AFB, 100 odd km north of Ysterplaat since it is the pilot training school. I will post a screenshot or 2 with the Astra and Harvards althought the Harvards are retired. I thought it would give the place a good feel to it with the Harvards.

Cheers

Looks very nice. I made some flightplans for a bunch of aircraft in the SAAF (PC12, 707, C130, and some jets), not very good. Anything I can do to help, let me know

Thanks

There used to be a fairly decent set of inexpensive commercial AI models of SAAF military aircraft from an outfit named AIFD. They seem to have disappeared, though I think the models can still be found. The package included Impala Mk I and II, C185a, Mirage F-1AZ, Cheetah C and PC-7 MkII. Would be lovely to have some flightplans for those.

Looks nice. South Africa sure has an interesting airforce. Is that Alouette III also AI?

The package is still available here (so the models shouldn't be passed around too freely
