• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AI in Multiplayer

Hi Guys

Does anyone know if there is a way of having AI traffic in Multiplayer to increase the traffic volume.
Is there any software which can do this or any way you can edit FSX to do this. It would be good if the tower controler could move it and tell it when to taxi and when to take off etc, rather than it doing its own thing and getting in the way.

Please help me
Thanks

Hi,

Well, i being working on a program that does exactly that, move and control AI traffic, you can tell it when and where to taxi, when to takeoff or land, and in which runway (and much more others instructions). Actually, i didn't published it, but i will when it will be finished. It is only for FSX, but you have the facility or option to connect all the traffic generated to a multiplayer session, so then your friends can fly with the AI traffic, and another person using the tower cab feature in FSX, can be ATC.

I know that in FSX there are some options to enable DEFAULT AI TRAFFIC to be visible in multiplayer, with this i refer that you can use FSHOST (or any similar multiplayer basic program, for FSX) and connect yourself to a session having the DEFAULT AI TRAFFIC in your FSX....TURNNED ON, (YOUR AI TRAFFIC DENSITY OPTIONS TO MORE THAN 0%). The main problem with this is that the AI itself CONFUSES ALL, AND INTERFERES with the players in the session, because you dont have control over the way that the DEFAULT AI TRAFFIC itself BEHAIVES, so there are moments where the AI lands in a wrong runway and also the DEFAULT AI TRAFFIC generated by your FSX is NOT VISIBLE TO OTHERS PLAYERS, and the AI generated by the others players FSXs ARE NOT VISIBLE to others NEITHER.

The only thing that my program requires is a person to operate it, which does the role similar to an ATC controller, but the difference is that the person is actually flying like 9 or even more AI planes at the same time.

Also, my program have the ability to create and move ground vehicles, not only AI aircrafts.

See my forum in my site:

Wow, sounds ace, would it be possible to have the contoler control the AI aircraft(using key commands) at the same time as controling the Multiplayer aircraft vocally. Also will everyone else need to download this software in order to see the AI in the session?, or is it only the person controlling the AI who needs the software.
Thanks

Well, actually the person controlling the AIs, control them using shortcut keys and also there is a control panel where there are buttons, which you press and also does the same as the shortcut keys. Actually the AIs just reacts to the orders of the person using the software. The person using the software in the PC needs to have a voice program, so then the person can acknoweldge to instructions from ATC. The person controlling the AIs (using the software), will do the role of a controller-pilot, actually that person flies all the planes, but not with the joystick, or keyboard, just giving orders or actions to do to the AIs, then AI will follow the orders, and they will looks like if that person (the operator of my software) is actually flying all AIs at same time. I already did tests, since long time, about 5 months ago. Trying to make more easy to keep controlling a lot of AIs at same time. I did a lot of modifications since the screenshots that you see in my forum. Now, you can control easily like 10 or more planes in air and on ground.

The AI doesnt reacts to "voice commands", but in future versions i do really expect to have that feature, as i will just need to work on voice recognition, as actually, i found the way to tell AI what i want them to do.


Also will everyone else need to download this software in order to see the AI in the session?, or is it only the person controlling the AI who needs the software.

Nop, just the person that will use my software, needs to have a copy of it, all the others persons doesnt needs that program.

Another usage of this software is that if you combine it with the tower cab feature (of FSX), you can have an improved small tower simulator.
