Thoughts on road traffic....

[Joe_D]

Anyone else notice that new animated road traffic is scurrying about just a little too fast? It looks a bit cartoonish, like a big slot car track.

Hopefully it wiil be slowed down considerably in the final.

Otherwise we will need someone to mod some traffic cops to slow down the speeders!

There is s mad that control the AI traffic taxi speed in fs2004. I'm sure you might with a mod in fsX.

Well if that's on a motorway/freeway then that's about right. Remember, the traffic isn't going to be driving down every single road in the game, it's going to be along large, busy roads.

and they dont slow down for corners, which theyseem to do in 90 degree turns not following the road.

Why not simply edit the sim.cfg file for the traffic?

max_speed_mph = 115    
acceleration_constants = 0.3, 0.4     //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max G acceleration
deceleration_constants = 0.2, 0.4     //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max G acceleration

With people like me and Mitsuya Hamaguchi, that would soon be possible for FSX.
