90 minutes to reach the runway, for a 30 minute flight.  Between this and being sent around on final...

Na this is using the basic packages from World of AI..... and actually it was about a 20min wait in line before i reached the runway... and what was so cool about it was that an American 777 was in the front of me for take off.... n both of us were giong to heathrow.. i passed him down but i had to go around in heathrow and i ended up landing behind him.... lol

Dude... it's probably your AFCAD that cause the problem. I used WOI as well without that traffic problem.  :)

I'm using the afcad that came with the scenery, and I have that traffic problem as well.  If you've downloaded every package from the United states and have traffic at 100%, you'll end up waiting in line at major airports.

I highly recommend downloading the program AI Smooth from either AVSIM or Flightsim.com.  It won't solve all your problems but it should ease the congestion at the major airports a bit.

AI Smooth puts traffic into a hold pattern in the air, what does it do when you're on the ground?

Well,

You can adjust taxi speeds of all aircraft so that planes clear the runway faster or just taxi around faster so you aren't stuck behind one going 15 kts. or so.  And along the lines of the holding patterns; that hopefully means you aren't going to have a huge long line of endless AI aircraft coming in to land on one runway.

As I said, it isn't perfect but it has helped enormously for me.

Personally, I use FSScreen.  Simple, quick and easy (although I haven't used it in forever).  I have heard people liking numerous different ones, though.

How do you go about adjusting the taxi speeds?  I've never seen this option in AISmooth, although I am not a terribly advanced user of this program.
