Brilliant. What a product. Can’t wait

Hi Richard,
Is there any chance of some RAF Hawks and Tornado Gr4’s (particularly at Lossiemouth) or will that be inhabited by F3’s?

Regards,
Ian

These aircraft are incredible!! Everything I’ve ever wanted to fly. I’m buying this game 10 times over, but I have one question that’s probably a silly one….Are all these aircraft flyable or will we just be able to see them in the air and on the ground?(I know this is a silly question, but I would rather fly these than see them)

Well I for one am happy about some of the fantasy liverys. I’ll tell you what the BAE 146 looks sweet in delta colors

Hi Damion,

All of these aircraft are flyable. Of course, they don’t all have specific cockpits and flight dynamics as they work off a generic set but you can configure the type of cockpit you wish to use (heavy, light aircraft etc).

Hi Ian,

I think there are a few Tornado and Hawk flights scheduled for Lossiemouth already in the software but it is very easy to add some extra ones.

I know the discount thing is a sensitive subject, but I’d like to ask.. (and I think your pricing of this is just fine, btw)

Is there any chance of a small discount for people who purchased Traffic as a download, but wish to buy the boxed version of TrafficX?

Say, to the price of the download version?

It may be a bit cheeky, but to a pensioner like myself, every penny counts - as I know it does to a business, too ; )

hey richard,
its looking real good…

im in australia, just want to know if the australian traffic actually has callsigns in this new version…

for example… JetStar and Australian Air Express, Australian Airlines, in 2005… they just came up as flight numbers… like 1234 instead of JetStar 1234..

has this been fixed… kinda annoyin..

I dont see any 777-300 listed.
Are they going to be included?

Here’s a question. Can i ask why the Lynx Air International 757 is being included? The reason i ask is i made the texture for that for the 2002 version of Traffic. I used to work for Lynx and repainted a 757 in the van colours of Lynx for a giggle.

It’s been included in Traffic ever since but the fact remains as an airline, it never existed with those colours. Lynx used to run smaller aircraft in a completely different livery which have also been available for a number of years in your download section. Lynx were bought out by UPS about two years ago so technically don’t exist at all now. It still makes me laugh everytime i see it though so i guess it’s up to guys at JF if you use it or not. Just thought i’d fill you in on the background of the texture and its “novelty” value.

In fact, if we’re talking novelty aircraft, how about Ed Force One, the Iron Maiden 757?

I think that this is the best thing that EVER HAPPENED TO FSX!!!!! I have one question though about the frame rates. Will an Intel Celeron 3.2ghz, 2gb ram, Geforce 9600 GT 740 mhz graphics card have good frame rates with the traffic slider set to around 50-70%? Sorry if its a bit complicated.

Great work so far Richard.

There is a whole FS community just itching to get it’s hands on this one!

My honest opinion is the amount of work that that has gone into this one deserves at least a £29,99 price tag so I am pleasantly surprised at the discounts that are being offered.

Cheers,

joe

Will the flyable aircraft have various sounds that mirror the aircraft you are flying?

Hi Chaps,

@JD Bad news I’m afraid. It was only possible for logistical reasons to release the upgrade as a download. Hopefully you will have some reward points to put towards the purchase. Sorry.

@Liam It depends on whether the FS voicepack has them included. If you are flying IFR with an aircraft in one of these airlines (set up properly in aircraft.cfg) - are they correctly addressed by the FS ATC with the callsigns? If yes, then they will likely appear in Traffic X as well.

@Paul Only the 777-200 I’m afraid.

@John O’Leary. Regarding the Lynx 757 - well, mainly we didn’t want to waste anything and even if it’s a paint scheme for a giggle (just like the A380 Air Force one). People can always choose to not use it or disable it.

@Charlie. Thanks for the praise! Regarding framerates, always a tricky question! Your system is pretty similar to one we have here and our one runs fine at those levels with the scenery sliders set around the “normal” mark.

@Mutley. Thanks matey! People have been supporting the Traffic “brand” for many years now so its nice to be able to offer something back as a thank you.

@Randy. Yes, as with all the flyable A.I it won’t be specific to that particular aircraft but it will have particular soundsets for Props, Turbo-Props, Jets, Helis etc so it should sound realistic enough.

Thanks for reading!

Richard

I just bought the boxed version of Traffic X from Aerosoft (but I haven’t opened it yet). Now I’m beginning to see that there are 2 different Traffic X programs with the same name!? This one seems to have more to it. Am I imagining this?

Do you have to have FSX Deluxe to use all the features? I just have the regular version. Thanks.

Hi Larry,

I think you must have purchased a program called My Traffic X rather than another program called Traffic X, is this correct? If so, I wouldn’t be so brazen as to suggest that ours was the superior product but if you check out the specs of the two products I am confident that you will wish you’d saved your cash for Traffic X.

Hi Lawrence,

All the Traffic X features will be available in the standard version of FSX.

Thanks chaps!

Hi,
I was wondering if you are going to post a video to advertise it like in the rest of the series. I’m sure it will be great but I’d like to see some of it in action.
Thanks!

Hi Charlie,

We are intending to release a video for this title

Great!
Thanks
