Hello Sam and welcome to the forums. I myself, along with many other, use Ultimate traffic. It is really easy on frame rates due to their very good design team, the aircraft look really nice instead of aircraft that look like they were made out of legos, the installer will place a shortcut on your desktop called "Ultimate Traffic Updater" which will, after updating, compile your traffic with all the latest schedules, liveries, paint schemes, tec....
I find it to be really nice!!

Here is the product.

Hope this helps!!

Given that Ultimate Traffic seeks to tie AI traffic to published airline schedules, does it do anything to affect civilian aviation?  I'm not so hung up on the need to see actual airlines and airline schedules, but I do want more AI traffic (a closer approximation to real life).  I do about 70% of my flying out of smaller airports and in a civil aviation type capacity so I'd really like to see more small plane activity.

Heya Chris,

I also use Ultimate Traffic and have found that (at least it seems to me that) the amount of General Aircraft in UT is a little more than what you would find with the FS 2004 default flightplan.

If you wish you can also "Bump Up" your GA traffic by creating a separate Flightplans.txt file containing only GA aircraft flights and place it into the Ultimate Traffic\Extra Traffic Folder and then run a UT Compile.  This will include this extra GA traffic into FS 2004.

As far as AI GA aircraft are concerned I think that Ultimate Traffic has the amount of GA traffic about right.  If you wish to add more GA traffic you can use a free program by Dave Westbury called AI Flight Creator v1.6.6 available at flightsim.com.  

This is an easy to use program which will make flightplans.  You can then Copy/Paste this flightplan.txt file into the Ultimate Traffic/Extra Traffic folder, run a Compile, and your extra traffic appears!
