FS Traffic

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Although this update was never intended to fix everything for everybody, hopefully it has helped a significant number of you out.
We've already started work on the next update, the main focus of which being resolving the problems with traffic generation at your destination, and are currently gathering data from as many of you as possible via our support team.
We'll have that update ready as soon as possible, and we'll give you a better idea of the full changelog in the coming days.

@andrea0921 Hello,

Whilst we are getting quite a few reports that the stability of destination traffic has improved significantly with the latest update we are still trying to track down a few other possible causes affecting users. Because of the vast number of airports and potential flight plans we will need to collect a bit more info about your usage scenario's.

Departure airport:
Destination airport:
Default/Handcrafted or third party scenery in use:
Info such as use of time compression or the skip to function:
Method for entering destination (TCC, In game menu or MSFS flight plan):

I managed to get an DLH A380 injected by FS Traffic. It is from the FSLTL package, at least that is the model that is included. I substituted Emirates with this one.

@disco79stu Thank you for reporting this back to us.

@maytyler

I don’t think you looked at the latest threads before posting this one. 🤣

There’s another thread discussing this.

Hi JF

I’ve been using your Traffic products for several of its, and FS’, incarnations.

I remember in earlier versions you provided us with moveable control towers which were, I believe, classed as vehicles. They came in three sizes, small, medium and large. Their height corresponded with the size you selected, so a large airfield tower would be the tallest.

We could “drive” these towers about and place them exactly where we wanted to in the airport. You had to be careful not to move it too fast or they could topple over, especially the higher towers 🤣

Once set up we could sit in the control tower and watch the traffic move about, depart and arrive. It would look like we were really in a control tower.

Will we ever see that in this incarnation of the product?

Thank you.

' Spotty' and the tower were actually 'aircraft' and were moved around in slew mode. Probably not something we would repeat in that way. There may be other ways to achieve the same result, but not sure how.

That’s him! Spotty! 😄

You are right. The same result can be achieved by using the game’s drone camera and just positioning it inside the airport’s control tower.

I was just curious. 👍

Sadly, Spotty was as popular as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip. I think he was ditched around the time of Traffic X or 360.

Aww.

RIP Spotty. 😔

@jf-john I've just sent the support ticket.

@andymp425 we are looking at changing this to something less confusing!

John - Just Flight.

This issue still persists even after the hotfix. Roughly 80ish aircraft spawned here but very sparse amounts of traffic departing. Maybe 1-2 an hour departing but 10+ arrivals. Same issue anywhere else.

@nick yeah looks like for me - changing times messed it up. I saw no traffic enroute - I'm 60 miles out now and it has spawn 7 planes in the air destined to the same airport I'm going to but nothing on the ground so far. I'll reload after this and continue on testing - pretty sure it shouldn't work like this, however it was my fault I believe for letting it happen.

@andybrwn7
Check out the V1.0.2 update. It should address those compatibility issues with other addons. We've also included a way of disabling the in game panel entirely, allowing you to set the destination in the Traffic Control Centre instead.

@dommel
This is very likely a scenery issue. What payware addon are you using?

@balzbac I'm not sure that your reply adds anything valid to my post. Not sure if you're trying to invalidate my disappointment by sprinkling on some positivity. As a paying customer, I expected more. I'm not picking a fight, I just don't see why you had to reply in those terms.
