AICull In-Sim Traffic Density Setting Tool

File Description: AICull v1.0.1 is a simconnect utility designed to provide AI traffic limiter options from within the P3D simulation via a menu system located under the “Add-ons” menu. AICull uses a “Smart Retain X Current ICAO” mode (accessible via the AICull in-sim menu under add-ons) that automatically maximizes arrival and departure activity at the user’s current ICAO while still retaining “X” number of AI. Alternately,the user can chose to simply retain “X” number of AI closest to the user’s aircraft. AICull also provides the options to limit AI traffic to the user’s departure and destination airports (if a P3D flight plan loaded). In all of the above cases, exceptions can be made for enroute AI (e.g., higher than 10,000 ft AGL or 18,000 ft AGL). The user can also customize preset values for the “X” retention number. AICull works best for .bgl file based traffic solutions (e.g., AIG). Although AICull will also work with simconnect-based traffic injectors (e.g., UTL), they typically perform their own AI traffic limiting and may also re-inject traffic that AICull deletes. AICull require the installation of FSUIPC v5 or later, registered (preferred) or unregistered. AICull is fully compatible with AIFlow and AIGround. Ver 1.0.1 FIX: changes to AICull.ini file not being read.

AIFlow SimConnect Utility for P3D v4

• aiflow_v110-1.png

File Description:
AIFlow v1.1 is a simconnect utility designed to ease AI congestion and go-arounds at the airport the user is departing from and arriving at. AIFlow does this by enforcing spacing minimums between arriving AI aircraft resulting in more orderly arrival patterns. AIFlow also supports spacing spacing minimums between the AI aircraft and the USER’s aircraft when the user is flying (during all phases of the user's flight). For added realism, AIFlow adds landing effects (e.g., micro bank and pitch corrections that scale up during crosswind conditions) to the AI on short final approach. The user can also briefly squawk 1234 in their aircraft to temporarily suspend landings so that the user can find a slot to depart a busy runway. AIFlow is designed to compliment the default P3D AI program and thus is fully compatible with any AI-related program that is compatible with the default AI program (e.g., AIG, Ultimate Traffic Live, Radar Contact, etc.). AIFlow is targeted to Prepar3D version 4.5 or 5.0, specifically SimConnect Version 4.5.0.0 or later. AIFlow operates externally via simconnect and thus makes no changes to the P3D sim. NEW for v1.1: (1) detect and correct AI performing poor approaches (e.g., dive-bombing, descent into terrain) under control of the P3D AI engine, (2) user can specify minimum and maximum AI approach speeds in terminal area, (3) prevent AI from stopping on runway when user landing, (4) AI plane spotting mode only, (5) external database fallback in case simconnect fails to provide local airport data, (6) adjustable in-sim message level, (7) periodic read of .ini file to tweak parameters more easily, (8) AIFlow starts minimized. FIXES for v1.1 include: sequencing in heavy AI traffic would sometimes cause excessive go-arounds, going around AI would sometimes improperly hold, changing AI spacing from default value did not have any effect, sometimes user aircraft would get controlled, .ini file would sometimes get confused reading parameter values having whites spaces.

AIGround SimConnect Utility for P3D v4

Images related to this file:

• aiground_v110-1.png

File Description:
AIGround is a simconnect utility designed to improve AI taxi characteristics at the airport the user’s aircraft is located at. AIGround holds the AI stationary on the tarmac after pushback for a more realistic amount of time before the AI begins its taxi out and optionally performs an extended pushback including more realistically turning the AI toward the apron. The AI will also perform control surface checks as the AI begin their taxi out. Finally, AIGround enforces better spacing between AI and the user’s aircraft when the user is performing a taxi-out or taxi-in. AIGround does this by commanding the AI to temporarily stop in situations that the normal P3D AI control program would miss. In situations where the user might want the AI to pass (e.g., giving way at an intersection), the user can flash the landing lights on the user’s aircraft (on, then quickly off) as a signal to the AI to continue the taxi. AIGround also allows the user to adjust AI landing and takeoff lengths. AIGround is designed to compliment the default P3D AI program and thus is fully compatible with any AI-related program that is compatible with the default AI program (e.g., AIG, Ultimate Traffic Live, Radar Contact, etc.). AIGround is also compatible with the AIFlow simconnect utility. AIGround is targeted to SimConnect Version 4.5.0.0 or later. AIGround operates externally via simconnect and thus makes no changes to the P3D sim. NEW for v1.1: (1) adjust AI landing and takeoff length, (2) option for AI to perform extended pushback including turns, (3) option to disable control checks (for compatibility with certain AI sets), (4) AI plane spotting mode only, (5) adjustable in-sim message level, (6) Periodic read of .ini file to tweak parameters more easily, (7) AIGround starts minimized. FIXES for v1.1: (1) output consolse sometimes froze, (2) AI cyclic stop-start, (3) .ini file would sometimes get confused reading parameter values having whites spaces.
