In AI simulation, the level of traffic is configurable. At high
levels, and in high-traffic areas, the frequencies are continuously
busy.

So, if such situations were "highly unlikely" as you stated, there
wouldn't be much point in providing such a simulation, would there?

They are highly unlikely outside of heavy traffic areas, both in real
life and in simulation.

However, as a general rule, simulation provides for broader control of
circumstances than real life provides, precisely so that extreme and
improbable situations can be simulated for practice. A commercial
pilot may fly for his entire career without experience a failure of
all engines at the same time, but it's very easy to simulate, which
makes it possible for him to practice and be prepared for such a
situation should it ever actually arise. That's one of the great
advantages of simulation.

And, you know this, how?

In fact, radio chatter is sometimes *much worse* in low traffic areas. You
can be the only one in the vicinity, but still not be able to get a word
in edgewise. And, it isn't uncommon. Let's see if you can figure out why
that is.

This is a perfect example of what several others have already told you;
you are arguing from a position of total ignorance. If you don't know the
real answer, you can not make a valid argument. Chalk up all of your
responses of this nature as 100% noise.

Neil
