If you thought your Microsoft Flight Simulator skies were busy before—just wait until you see them now.
The team over at SayIntentions.AI has dropped a major update to their AI Living World beta for MSFS 2020 and 2024, and it's making AI traffic smarter, faster, and more believable than ever. Based on real-world flight schedules, this update transforms your virtual airspace into a living, breathing ecosystem of aircraft that not only look real—but act the part, too.
Since the beta’s release, users have given loads of helpful feedback—and the dev team took it all to heart (and probably a few energy drinks). SayIntentions.AI just rolled out a changelog that reads like a love letter to immersion junkies, tackling everything from taxi behavior to approach communications. And yes, all of this with minimal FPS impact.
What’s New in AI Living World (July 8–18 Update)
Comms Got a Tune-Up
Approach speed calls, frequency logic, and even cargo callouts got major attention. You’ll now hear chatter that feels real, not robotic.
Traffic, Smarter and Busier
AI traffic density now dynamically adjusts with a slider (1–11), synced with your simulator’s time. The skies aren’t just populated—they're alive.
Cargo Flights Get Respect
Airlines like Cathay Pacific Cargo now spawn at the right gates, and SayIntentions.AI improved mixed-use airline behavior for those who run both cargo and pax ops.
Taxi Like a Pro
Gone are the slow crawls and runway hesitation. AI aircraft taxi faster, follow centerlines better, and don’t stop and start like they forgot their checklist.
Takeoffs That Don’t Test Patience
AI no longer sits on the hold short line contemplating life. Expect better runway entry logic, fewer false starts, and cleaner departures.
No More Double Parking
Fixes were added for airports like VHHH where aircraft were awkwardly stacked like luggage in a budget airline overhead bin.
Smoother Approaches
Go-around vectoring, spacing on final, and traffic deletion logic were all refined—so you won’t see aircraft vanish mid-approach like a sim-time magic trick.
Regional Bugs? Fixed.
Inconsistencies around tricky zones like the Prime Meridian are no more, including the infamous EGLC behavior glitch.
A Glimpse Behind the Curtain
In a rare peek under the hood, SayIntentions.AI shared screenshots from their internal debug tool showing live AI activity across Europe and North America at 1200z on July 18th. The data is synced to real-world schedules and sim-time, showing just how deep this system runs—and how vibrant the virtual world has become.
Whether you're flying high over Heathrow or just plane-spotting at LAX, this update makes it feel like there’s a world moving around you. SayIntentions.AI is redefining AI immersion in MSFS, and we’re here for it.
