I thoroughly recommend the Modified Atkins diet which I follow.
It consists of eating anything I like... |

Thanks to you and everyone else that replied. I stayed up late downloading
the newest schedule for UT along with going to www.avsim.com and getting the asyncronous strobes and parking gates.You are the best!

However, since I have daylight savings here in California I'm suffering from the programming problem in FS9 where it doesn't know how to compensate for it.

To make meaningfull flightplans these have to be deduced to UTC somehow. The same moment in UTC means a different clock in May. Also, I'm not sure if this is an Ultimate Traffic problem or not, but all the strobes on the planes landing at night are in sync meaning they all blink at the exact same time. That looks really hokey. Never noticed that. Will take a look. This would diminish realism I agree. It is probably a blinking 'texture' and not part of the AI-simulation 'per' aircraft, which would be too expensive in processortime. I've actually been looking at getting My Traffic because the planes supposedly have correct places to park, such as Fed Ex will park in a Fed Ex place and United Airlines will park in their places at an airport. Ultimate Traffic's default is all planes park whereever there's room. As Alan White pointed out during breakfast this depends on the AFCAD file used. UT comes with a load of AFCADs for the major airports, but none of them have specified parking spots. For most airports you can find very good alternatives on Avsim and the ususal places, that will provide these spots as close to reality as is usefull. You can put these in the Addon/Scenery folder.(You might want to displace the AFCAD that UT put there, find the F1UT_xxxx.bgl, where xxxx is the ICAO name of the field).

Think I should say thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Not too
certain whats happened to the news feed here..seem to have missed a week somehow on this group! Very strange. With UT does it result in the sim pausing every now and then or is there very little noticeable effect. regards Graham On Wed, 12 May 2004 13:18:34 GMT, "Nathan" wrote: Thanks to you and everyone else that replied.

You can always look back at http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=lang_nl|lang_en|lang_de&thread m=c9e4a05891m651l8vg4s5qof439r2ksqci%404ax.com&pre v=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_nl%257Clang_en%257Cla ng_de%26group%3Drec.aviation.simulators but you prolly knew that. With UT does it result in the sim pausing every now and then or is there very little noticeable effect. Yes, it does sometimes. Mainly shortly after entering a new flight it will hickup noticably and sometimes while approaching an airfield. And of course the AI_planes themselves need to be loaded and maintained which can be quite a preformance hit.

Ultimate Traffic for FS2004 is THE must have.
