Actually, fine tuning the AI traffic systems should be high on our priority list before the next version comes out. Even when the AI is disabled by default in the new version, as Curt suggested, we should still make a minimal effort to ensure it's working reasonably well when a user decides to enable it.
One of the problems I see sofar is that the MD11 is not included in the new base package by default, while the current AI system expects it to be there. IMHO we can do either one of three things: 1) Add the MD11 to the new base package 2) Change the MD11 model to another aircraft preferably either the 747 or the 737 3) Disable the MD11 traffic patterns altogether, allow the latest additions to AIFlightPlan to be included in the main source tree and use the new 737 traffic patterns instead, which I'm working on right now. Personally, option #3 is my favorite: Assuming we're getting the bad whether that's been forcasted, I can finish the new code easily by tomorrow, and the traffic patterns are also almost done. Another reason why I'd like to see these changes added in is that they eliminate the dependency on pre-written flightplans, and thus allow for a much easier creation of traffic files. Option #2 is my least favorite, even though I'm beginning to agree with Erik that the current MD11 model is quite heavy in terms of polygon count and should probably be replaced by a light weight AI model. However, I'd rather temporarily disable these patterns until we have a light weight AI MD11 then swap the model for an other aircraft model. I'd rather use "real" 737 traffic instead, which also has the added bonus of being centered around KSFO instead of around EHAM.
