This report I'm currently looking at, coming from Just Flight, says that Traffic X has been "jammed" with new features and apparently, they're not lying. Wait till you see what's new. But just before you get your mind blown away, know this: Traffic X is set to become the new benchmark for Artificial Intelligence traffic expansions, so expect something big when it's released.

Traffic X will include over 1,600 different aircraft variants based on 65 aircraft models that are designed to the highest level of detail and painted in a dazzling variety of airline liveries from around the world, says the report. They can all be seen flying, landing, taxiing, parking and taking off at airports large and small.

The highly advanced 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 XWB won't be missing from the game, as you can imagine, along with a huge amount of aviation traffic.

OK, let's cut the crap and talk about what's really important and that's the newly announced features in Traffic X:

- The new Traffic ControlCentre (TCC) program gives you full access to customize and expand your AI traffic in a comprehensive and easy-to-use way.

- ChronoTraffic AI time period selection feature. Every aircraft and flight can now be set to be specific to a certain period of years.

- The all-new Follow-me car and pushback truck let you explore the airport from the ground and even guide incoming AI aircraft to their parking positions.

- For the first time Traffic X now includes a diverse selection of military aircraft.

- The 787 Dreamliner now has all the known launch customer liveries included!

- Airbus A350 XWB included with all the known launch customers liveries included!

- Keep an eye out for clandestine CIA Extraordinary Rendition flights.

- An all-new Traffic Radar allows you to view traffic information for each AI aircraft in range. There are three different modes - vertical speed and current altitude, bearing and distance, identification and true airspeed.

- Graphic Departure and Arrival boards will show you the status of all incoming and outgoing flights at each airport, from Boarding to Baggage Reclaim.

- Another Just Flight Traffic first - Unique Custom AI sounds.

- Appropriate aircraft take advantage of the advanced animations in FSX to operate with airport service vehicles.
