Hi all,

I noticed that Squawkbox 4.0 causes FSX to re-enable scenery traffic at 100% when I exit squawbox from inside FSX. Other than running Squawkbox outside of FSX, is there a way to disable this behavior? Otherwise I have to keep going into display prefs and disabling scenery traffic (such as other airplanes, ships, ferries, etc.). The scenery traffic really eats up FPS which is why I keep it off.

Thanks

when you disable squak box from inside fsx it reverts back to single player with your settings you had are you sure your scenery AI is isnt setup @ 100% ? why leave SB anyway?

First, Sqwk box doesn`t show the appropriate AI traffic, where FSInn, you always can customize. If you have such addon for traffic, it works perfect while using FSInn. Just my opinion.
I think you should give a try on FSInn.

You can customize it to some extent in SB4 as well - they're both broken in some way or another in this regard.

Luke,
I have tried so many times to get my addon with Traffic 360 and never worked. I also didn`t like the Sqwkbox VIP textures as well. It sucks.

Hmm... FSInn sounds interesting... one question, is it being actively maintained? I noted in another thread that support for Squawkbox ceased several years ago. Thanks,

Thomas,
Right now there non. Those programs are old.

Well I suppose, then, I'll stick with what I've got for now. If SB gives me too much trouble I might look at FSInn. Thanks for the tip.
