mod for ai air traffic, and air traffic control?

[noobsrtoast]

i have kerbinside, raster prop monitor, b9 aerospace, FAR, and various other mods to make the game feel more like a simulator rather than just a game but im missing one thing, i need some sort of mod that adds maybe some ai air traffic, and you can talk to tower control or something along those lines to make the game feel more alive, anyone know one?

i dont think there would be very many other planes landing at ksc, its not an airport anyways they could yell out distance to runway, going too fast/slow, comming in at too high an angle, etc.

dont know if any mods do this though.

i have kerbinside, which adds a ton of civilian airports

I'd love that.

I guess Chatterer give you the impression there are other Kerbals around.

Not so much Air Traffic, but I've toyed with the idea of adding in "AI"-controlled Space Traffic. Basically: other ships spawned randomly (perhaps using the asteroid spawning logic?) that are pulled from pre-built templates and make random course corrections. They'd have ownership set to some non-player value, and would be named sequentially.

Adding actual Air Traffic would be difficult considering the game deletes uncontrolled craft that are in the lower atmosphere. (Guess there are ways around that.)

Adding AI Air Traffic Control, on the other hand, may be as simple as adding a request/response dialog. (Range Control for rocket launches.) Probably could add a random check + a nearby vessel check to see if there's something in your desired airspace. Might be useful for folks that use Multiplayer.

ya that would be awesome, It would certainly make the game feel more alive than it is now, and yes would be amazing to have around on multiplayer

ya I think the game needs to make you more aware that theres more kerbals around than just the ones that hang out at the space center

Big thumbs up for Chatterer. There are few mods that I regard "essential" and as trivial as it may seem, this is one of them, since it adds so much atmosphere to the game.

You should get the... BahamutoDymanics Mk22 cockpit, And the Chatterer mod. They will add an ATC-ish sound thing. 

(You must be in IVA to hear the Mk22 radio sounds)
