Product Description
Flight Simulator X: Traffic Expansion Pack brings the action of the airport to life on your PC! It features a unique new AI traffic approach management feature, designed to drastically reduce the number of go-arounds that are performed by AI planes at busy airports. Instruct approaching planes to perform holding patterns if they are following the plane in front too closely. If AI planes come too close, are heading in the same general direction and are within an altitude range that suggests you are both established on an approach path, then the AI planes will be instructed to perform holding patterns. Requires Flight Simulator X or Flight Simulator 2004 to play.

i bought this product about a year ago and i still love it, they give you so many airlines and airports now actually look busy, i love taxing to the runway and watch all diferent kind of airlines parked at their gates or taxing into another runway, it is so much fun i love it. it makes FSX come alive

i bought traffic this spring and I like it. I had no problems getting it load and the detail is great. Flying into O Hare at night with other traffic merging onto final and listining to ATC givimg everyone instruction w/o fail was awesome. Also did a traffic alert as I was coming into the pattern about a United 747 at my altitude and closing on my airspace and then hearing the controller vectoring the aircraft away from my flight was superb. The only problem I had is that it stiil is using ms FSX generic ATC voices thought it would have different voices. overall a good buy. cant wait to see the new FSX version that comes out in September
 Not happy with this product! June 22, 2008

Although this product seemed to install correctly, I'm not seeing any traffic. After doing a couple of hours of research to find out why, I find out you have to go to the companies site and download some updates and then you may possibly have to reinstall FSX. And if that doesn't work you may have to reformat your computer and reinstall everything. So unless you want to deal with all that crap, stay away from this product. I will be returning mine!
Top value! October 17, 2007

When compared to the competition around from other AI traffic programs, this one is clearly streets ahead. Installation is a snap and it's got loads of different tools. If you like tweaking and fiddling then it's a world beater. At thirty bucks it's good value and - as they say on the box - it really is as busy as it gets! The aircraft models are really good and Spotty the spotter (duff name guys) is a great idea. However, you need to be careful you don't turn the traffic density up too high unless you have a decent PC, but otherwise I would say it's pretty cool. Odd to see a reviewer saying that the protection software is a virus. These guys are the largest flight sim company next to Microsoft and Traffic is a peach. If you get worried by installers then you probably live in a house with tinfoil on the windows and drink boiled water. But, if you want to stop your sim airports looking like the Nevada Desert on a Sunday, then this baby is the one.

This add-on for FS is definatly NOT worth $30. Worse, it should have a big red warning label on it's Amazon page that it will (without asking your permission) modify WINDOWS system files and the registry to install a disk driver for the Safedisc copy protection. (Which will open ring-0 admin access to ANY program.) Definatly not worth the security risk, and I have news for this publisher, the add-on itsself isnt worth copy protecting. If I were a software pirate, I wouldnt steal this.
Beyond that, the program looks like something out of FS4 or FS5... The user interface is SO obviously visual basic version 5; or sure looks like it. After spending large sums of money on hardware to get the great graphics of FS-X this was a real let down. Their models are a joke.
I dont know how well it works in FS2004 but in FS-X their "redesigned" airport layouts are very poorly done. Aircraft parking spaces often are inside terminal buildings and all those great jetways that we waited 10 versions of FS to get ... are gone.
I will admit I didnt get past KLAX airport, but it was enough to convince me I had been robbed of $30 and had a virus installed for my trouble... tearing this POS out tonight.
