Is this addon worth the extra cash? Is this the same as Traffic X from Just Flight? If not, which one is best do you think?

Thanks

World Of AI. The price is just unbeatable.

Yeah - I heard about that after I posted this.

Is it any good? (regardless of price)

That seems like an incredible amount of work to do...there are a MASSIVE amount of "packages" to download and install.

I think I'll opt for the £25 and Ultimate Traffic X

WOAI's only drawbacks are the occasional few minutes needed for maintenance once updated packages are released and that the AI models are a bit hard on FPS in FSX.

What about the hundred plus files I would have had to download?

I appreciate they're free, but there was just no way I was going to download all those files. I'd rather pay the money and be up and running in a few minutes than spending an hour or more downloading when I could be playing.

Seriously - thanks for the link - but I'm more a pay and work than mess around kind of guy.

I could be worse...you could have to install them by hand, i.e. add repaints to AI aircraft and manually compile the flightplans.

lol - it could be. I am a pretty lazy gamer. I like things to be nice and packaged and work straight off installtaion. If they don't, I go away and do something else.

I remember the Falcon Dance. Maybe it was that that made me like installation packages!

As for TrafficX..? Well, I haven't noticed a great amount of "moving" air traffic around the airports...as in landing, taking off, taxiing etc. There are quite a few stationary aircraft and jet noises etc...but I haven't noticed any movement on the ground. The models are nice enough. Not hi def - but good enough to make me feel like I'm at an airport that's used by other aircraft.

I have to admit though that I haven't messed with any settings. This is straight out the box. Also, I haven't been to any major airports at present. So these things will surely have an impact.

The airport lights seemed to have taken on a new dimension and look fantastic in the night...but I don't know if that's through TrafficX or REX2...I really don't. Though prior to getting TrafficX, I had bought REX2 a few days before and I can't recall thinking what I think now with the lights...which is WOW.

There are alot of settings actually in the TrafficX program, but I haven't touched them. There is also an aircraft livery painter and schedule maintainer.

I'm not disappointed at all with my product.
