Hello to all, and thanks for reading this. I'm a long time simmer, but have only recently discovered Silver Wings/ Golden Wings, and I wanted to express my extreme appreciation & gratitude to all who were involved in these projects. I now have 4 versions of Flight sim available covering 4 different time periods of aviation. GW3- up to 1945 Silver Wings 1946-1970 FS9 1971-1990 FSX 1991- Present Everything is perfect, except for the AI situation in GW3, the 'local' AI included with the various sceneries is brilliant, and well chosen, and I've gone as far as to install the Cal Classic 1957 traffic, but it's a little out of flavor for the time period. Is there a Global AI package for GW3? I realize that it is supposed to represent a time before big bustling airports, but still, I thought I would check. Thanks again for the stellar work you have produced, and a huge thanks for sharing it for free with the world. Cheers, ShaneG

There is a "sort of" global AI already included in FSGW3, but a much better one is included in one of the two updates. If you have those installed you should have vintage traffic everywhere. The CalClassics AI is great in Silver Wings. I have no idea how it will work in Golden Wings

Thanks, I do have all the updates, and do have traffic everywhere, I guess I was expecting an unrealistic amount for the time period. It's an amazing piece of work, and I'm glad I discovered it at last! Thanks again, and I look forward to learning all I can here about a new world of flying for me. Low & slow. ;D

Hi, Shane, as a long-time user and contributor to the CalClassic world, I can tell you that using the propliner traffic in GW3 just wouldn't look right. For one, you have Connies and DC6s and 7s looking for 7-8000 foot runways that won't be there in GW. In fact, most of the airports those planes will be looking for won't be there at all, or will only have a grass runway. Many only work with the airports they are designed for...with those AFCAD files added by the Classic Core files download. To Silver Wings, I also use Silver Wings for my CalClassic world. It's PERFECT for that. I have yet to find a conflict with any of the addon backdated airports and Silver Wings in an FSGenesis terrain mesh environment. To offer a suggestion for your AI, is sounds like your using only the propliner AI traffic files. Have you added any of the GA traffic files from CalClassic? Granted, you do have to go look for the planes, but a complete list of what you need is included. Beware, some file names have changed, but most are still "findable". It provides a real mix of planes that date back to the 30s and go straight through the 60s. Maybe that's a bit more what your looking for? Please let me know, or post a note to the gang over there and I'm sure we can come up with something for you. Yours,
