IT DID NOT INSTALL [Posted on 2007-09-21]
I could not get this product to install. I have a DVD drive. They say somethng about copy protection maybe being a problem. Stay away from this one!!

A great add-on for Flight Simulator [Posted on 2007-09-21]
I thoroughly enjoy Traffic. The program replaces the default AI traffic (Orbit, Landmark, and other fictional airlines) with real-world aviation traffic. And not just the standard run-of-the-mill liveries - some airlines have special paint jobs. For example, at Sky Harbor, I recently observed the America West Phoenix Suns plane. And at San Francisco International, I recently saw a Disneyland-ified plane (not sure which airline it was for). Plus, there's tons of general aviation flights. The program contains a number of extra goodies as well, including the ability to drive around an airport in a ground vehicle, and the ability to view airport traffic from a virtual control tower.

This is a great add-on by a company known for making great products for Flight Simulator. You won't be disappointed.

Waste of money and Dangerous [Posted on 2007-10-05]
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.

Top value! [Posted on 2007-10-17]
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.

Not happy with this product! [Posted on 2008-06-22]
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!
