Yep it was definatley Traffic 2005 I had before then, the helicopters are great but in the end I’m not too bothered if they are not there. Still I can’t see the point in a game for AI when it’s not realistic.

Traffic 2005 does have helicopters, which no other commercial AI add-on of its type does.
I tend to think that the Traffic 200x aircraft don’t look quite so realistic as those with Project AI or Ultimate Traffic.
Incidentally, I stumbled across this site:

recently – not good if you’re on dial-up, mind you!

I brought a game before Ultimate Traffic (can’t remember the name now and swapped it for Ultimate Trfafic) it may well of been Traffic 2005 if it was it wasn’t very good at all. Airlines that don’t even fly into BHX started landing and departing there such as Ethiopian Airlines/BA flew to JFK/MIA etc etc and the whole thing wasn’t very realistic at all so I took it back.
I brought Ultimate Traffic not too long ago and the airline schedules were really out of date (2003!) remeber this game is for FS04! I did buy an update for the game from the website yesterday for $5.95 which works out at about £3 or so so not bad and everything is up-to date.
The game has problems though, some FR flights show as 737-700s? and BA (Citiexpress) ERJ’s show as CRJs plus. I think this can be corrected though as most FR flights show as 738s. Some airlines are missing too such as MYT, again this might be able to be corrected. Also for some reason th gauges installed onto the panel don’t work (TCAS gauge shows no traffic) for example.
I’m sticking with Ultimate Traffic and I reccomend you do the same. Although I’m sure bmi-star and other members will put me down now and reccomend PAI 😉 not good for me being a dial-up user.
