FS Traffic

Thanks Mark!

Had this issue happen to me since I started using FS traffic this month and the only thing that worked for me was the following:

Select destination in MSFS Click on FS traffic from the toolbar and wait until it populates the destination, then click confirm Wait a few seconds then close the pop up

I think a lot of people in this forum said these steps would work but have seen others say it didn’t work, so just sharing my own experience here.

Now I need to figure out how to reduce traffic at arrival (lol) as I couldn’t land in one out of two times due to excessive traffic (one plane approaching with me and one on the runway sayintentions ATC cleared me to land on)

@Rich thanks again mate for your response really appreciate the effort you guys are going to to get this product on xbox

There are many factors that could prevent traffic from generating in the simulator, but a quick one to try is to open the Traffic Control Centre and then go to the 'Options' tab. In the wingspan options box, select "Compatibility Mode (High)", then "Confirm Change" and then restart the simulator.

This option controls the wingspan values set in the config files for each of the FS Traffic aircraft. Every gate and parking space in the simulator has parameters set up that determine the maximum size of aircraft that it can accommodate. Sometimes this value might not be set to the correct value by the scenery developer and therefore can prevent any aircraft larger than the size defined by the gate/parking space from generating at that position.

Reducing the wingspan of the Ai traffic fleet ensures that FS Traffic aircraft can fit in more gates/parking spaces.

Hi Jan,
Unfortunately not. We're quite hamstrung with Xbox testing as it can take days at best, and weeks at worst, to be able to test any revisions to the software. As such it has taken far longer than we had hoped.
I'm crossing my fingers that we'll see it released next month, but I wouldn't want to make any promises about that.

So I figured out what was going on. In options I reduced Time before departure value down to 30. I did this to reduce AI traffic to help with FPS. I also started using AI ground which has options to help with that also. It was helping so good that I tried bringing back Time before departure to 90 which is default value, and bingo now all the gate are connecting. Just an FYI for anyone who might have same problem.

@Vitold69 FS Traffic doesn't have a way of deleting an entire airline via a single button, but you can unassign liveries for aircraft types, and delete a certain aircraft type from an airline, via the Traffic Control Centre > Aircraft Manager > Liveries page.

For example, if you would like to remove all British Airways A380s from the schedules, you can simply delete the assigned livery on the Liveries page and no British Airways A380s will be generated in the simulation.

If you do this for every aircraft type in an airline, you will still see the airline's flights listed in the flight schedules, but they won't be generated in the simulator as they don't have any assigned liveries.

Hope that helps.

@TrailerSwift89 These codes are three-character IATA aircraft type codes as opposed to the four-character ICAO aircraft type codes that you have referenced. FS Traffic uses IATA codes as that is what is used in the databases.

@Rich ok. So the freeware o payware version of the AI aircraft needs to be obtained in order for us to be able to manipulate liveries on that aircraft then? I am interpreting correctly?

I’m shocked! The problem has been around for over a year, but it hasn’t been fixed yet. Thanks to @mhron, this method worked. But I’m disappointed in the developer’s behavior.

Good Evening, is there a way you can work on FS Traffic for compatibility with FSHud Since FS Traffic has its injector was given by the marketplace in MSFS

Thank you!! :)

@Rich Thanks very much. I appreciate your help!

Hi, the TMZoffset field is no longer used and can be ignored

We would not recommend using the F28 Professional, or any other "player" aircraft, as AI traffic. These aircraft haven't been optimised to be used as AI traffic and therefore will likely cause a significant performance hit in the simulator if they are used as AI traffic.

The Ground Services page currently doesn't update if new aircraft are added to the FS Traffic fleet, so any edits to the ground services would need to be made in the aircraft's aircraft.cfg file. We have logged this as a potential feature to add in a future FS Traffic update.

@edu2703 Thanks for letting us know. We have recently received a comment from another user reporting that a GSX/couatl crash caused some engine/APU issues in one of our aircraft, so it looks like this GSX/couatl crash may be affecting more than just AI traffic.

We'll get all of this feedback logged and we'll investigate if there's anything we can do to improve this on our end. Thanks again for the informative feedback!
