FS Traffic

@hunterdouglas said in Bespoke Schedules for all Airports in FS Traffic.:

thats great work you have done thank you
I'm curious, how do you create the arrivals? the traffic centre only allows to modify departures

I have looked at the file structure of both the Departures and Arrivals. I then created a spreadsheet macro that imports each file one by one. It uses the ICAO, Aircraft, Airline and Callsign in each row to populate the spreadsheet up to 720 rows (which is 30 rows per hour). The departure and arrival times are preset by me. I then export from the spreadsheet at required periods, every 1, 2 4 rows etc. I make sure the file structure matches the original and the control data at the end matches the flights defined. It took me some time to understand what the control data does. It takes about 2 seconds to process each airport, there are 14 files per airport. I can place a list of the airports I require and it will process them in turn. So I do them by each first letter A, B, C etc.

Does that help?

@steve67 thanks I'll give it a go.

@derek

ok, so this is not expected behaviour of the AI-planes when using FSTraffic? They normally land at the threshold and turn on the runway for backtrack taxiing?

excellent thank you very much for your help, it worked perfectly, I'll go and modify my ticket now to let the developers know

I’ve also noticed that AI aircraft stop short of the holding point at runway 25. This means they do not actually reach the point at which they would contact ATC for take-off. In turn this causes the aircraft to just sit there until it despawns. Very annoying.

Admittedly I play using a third party EGGW from the Marketplace. I’m not sure if the same issue occurs in the default EGGW, or at runway 07.

@jamesdude11 Yes I do think it is the same issue and the answer is that the parking spots are too small. When I was at YPMQ i set up with a DH3, very small aircraft, then I used GSXpro to set me to a gate and I got the message saying there are no suitable size gates. YPMQ does have small parking spots, FStraffic does have routes in and out of YPMQ and does use DH3.
in my ticket, i said this and still waiting for a reply from them

@bpfonteyn I only use these addons for eye candy - checking they are the correct flights would drive me insane! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@sebastiano148 I’m afraid I don’t without more information. What we really need to do is get hold of your console log. I tested LIME and LIML and had arriving traffic. Have you raised a support ticket at all?

I did a 4h flight from Zurich to Gran Canaria and all worked well. Will report if anything doesn‘t but seems to be fixed for me (had issues on longer flights). Also had some en route traffic.

@sclrkuk @sclrkuk please can you get in touch we with our support team so we can get hold of your console log. Very odd that you are still not seeing destination traffic as during testing we found this to be stable.

Turning down those settings is only a recommendation if you’re using very highly detailed scenery along with software like GSX so you don’t blow MSFS’s object count.

@hewpilot Thanks for the feedback!

Glad you noticed the custom lighting. We spent many hours setting up the aircraft lighting and getting the flash rates correct.

Cruise traffic lighting is next on our to do list, were going to have to find a way to override the default MSFS system. We'll also be moving onto testing with SU12 beta to check those promised improvements to the AI system.

@sabres431 just curious how did you exactly use FSLTL models for fs traffic? is there a tutorial somewhere?
