KLAX
Bruce Hamilton:
Full AI is great if you're sitting somewhere plane spotting, but it can be murder if you're caught waiting in line to take off. I've actually waited over an hour to take off for a fourty minute flight.

Sounds quite realistic then. :P I've experienced exactly that with about an hour delay on the tarmac at JFK for an hour or so flight up to Boston.

Exactly...delays just like the real world. It kind of turns you into a "spotter" while waiting for departure though. :-\

And when you finally reach the hold short line, Murphy's Law kicks in and FSX crashes to the desktop. ;D

The debate about AI percentages interests me a great deal - as a producer of freeware AI packages (UltimateGA).
We always dream about new bizjet models being created for new AI packages... but in reality... if FS9/X had 100% of real world traffic represented, the entire sim would grind to a halt!
KLAX is obviously busy with traffic sliders at 100%, but with a good AFCAD, AI traffic flow can be improved dramatically, with all 4 runways in equal use. In FS, single runway airports like LSGG are much more congested (during peak periods) with long queues for takeoff and several go-arounds. This is due to many things... but the main reasons are: aircraft vacating the runway too slowly and landing clearance given too early. These two issues are unfortunately unavoidable in FS9/X, but there are some things you can do to help the situation without reducing sliders and compromising realism.
One tip I have - leave your sim running for 30-45mins before flight. This helps traffic levels even out, and reduces clusters of AI traffic. If you don't have 30mins to wait, just use 4x speed - any faster and your AI will want to reset.
