Random generated civilian and military traffic

[Mainstay]

ED please consider making a script that generates civilian and military traffic in the air.

You have this script for cars and trains on the ground so why not for air traffic?

 

Thank you very much :thumbup:

This would be cool

It be also cool see ground crew around your aircraft and someone marshal you into and out of parking

Maybe...just maybe.

 

It may come, all right. However, it will not come soon.

 

In making road traffic, they most likely had to create nodes for traffic to go to over all of the roads of Nevada and the Caucasus. Of course, without any automated program to do such actions, the process would have taken them quite a while.

 

It would be the same for aircraft. Populating a whole area with aircraft taking off, flying a flight plan, and landing is a long process, as flight plans need to be created, optimization needs to be considered, and non static civilian aircraft models with working parts need to be made. A good idea in theory, but in execution it would be a long while before anything "pretty" could be made out of the project.

 

Most of these points, however, could be considered moot if there were aircraft that flew to a random place a far distance away from the player, never landing or taking off. But then all you are doing is putting lifeless objects in the sky, as if they were drones without any control.

 

In a way, this sounds similar to the Fast Mission Builder, apart from the aircraft generating constantly, unlike the FMB.

 

I would love to see the sight of some Stratotankers with flights of F-16's being fueled in the sky, then after you fly a few more minutes on your CAP, see a furball going on a few thousand feet above Boundary Peak, and decide you want to join in on the "fun". :pilotfly:

I think this would be great! However until the ATC is able to control AI units, I think this would be more frustrating than anything. I find getting back to my airfield now with limited military AI flights bad enough, let alone throwing in some civil and full on military flights! It would be nice to see a few civilian aircraft models though, so that mission builders can use them in their missions. Maybe you have to intercept a civilian airliner that has a communications failure or something.
