MSFS 2020 natively inserts traffic based on ADS-B feeds, and there are addons that do the same for Xplane too. It lends a certain level of realism, especially if you live under the flight path of the airport you're flying around in the game.
- polishdude20 5y agoMsfs does such a poor job of it though. Every time I fly it seems like there's only 1/10th of the planes there are in the real world.
- HeavenFox 5y agoThat is by design; only 10% to 50% real world traffic is replicated into FS2020. I imagine if you replicate all traffic you will never be able to take off and land at popular airports like JFK or LHR :)
- polishdude20 5y agoThey're already simulating tonnes of way more complex phenomena. Is it the API calls they'd need to make? Why not interpolate the positions better? I feel like this shouldn't be a performance problem in 2022.
- kqr 5y agoThe comment you're responding to is not talking about computing performance. They're talking about getting a word in sideways with ground control and the tower to get takeoff and approach clearance at those airports.
- polishdude20 5y agoIs it? You can simulate all of the planes without simulating their air traffic communication. That would be already 99% of the way to a better experience.
- core-utility 5y agoI see an opportunity for tandem takeoffs, take risks you'd never take in real life!
- anthk 5y agoFlightgear did that too.
