Have any of you used this thing?  I got it over at Avsim and it makes the GA traffic tons more realistic.  I can now sit at the very busy GA airport KADS close to my house and actually see a pretty good representation of its traffic.  What a great tool, how have I not run across this sooner.

hmmm sounds entertaining.

I find most of the general aviation airports to be pretty...barren. Might have to give it a whirl. just download and install?

yep, download and install.  It even gives you a set of options before compiling the flight plans.  What time they can start flying in the morning, how late after that time they must fly by, how long they are on the ground between flights, longest amount of time per flight, and one other that I can't think of.  It's a really great utility and it may even lead to wanting afcads for the smaller fields.

Although I believe there is no problem but I would rather ask. Is there any problem with simultaneous usage or Project AI?

and is there any problem using the GA traffic generator since its for 2002 when one has 2004?

I would like to know if it can be used along with PAI as well.

Much thanks!

To answer your questions:

Yes it does work with FS9, it was developed for FS2002, but the flightplans are really all that it's making.  The only minor thing that you'll have is some flightplan errors for some of the smaller grass strips.  They don't have any noticeable affect though.  This may be fixed by taking a current airports list and substituting it with the supplied list, I didn't look too far into it since they are such minor fields.  The generator already had plans for over 10,000 aircraft.  You can also set it to compile plans with different GA plans each day of the week.

It won't create any conflicts with any of the previous flight plans.  Since this program appears to generate the traffic based on the settings that you type into it.  I'm running these flight plans with UT and PAI with no problems.
