@Mark Thanks, Mark. Looking forward to the fix.

Hi!

Thanks. It's been like that from the first install but never had time to do something about it (and haven't dared to fiddle with it either). However with your instruction I have now added those and a few other airlines missing (particularly 73H for some reason) and now have them flying around.

Thank you :)

@Rich but please tell us you haven't given up on the xbox version

I managed to find the JF tutorial on YouTube and also a good AI King Air 350 in the GA Mod as a substitution for now :)

Dude, I know it's been a few months, but I did what you suggested. Although a lot of work, it worked great. I downloaded all my planes from IVAO MTL and inserted them in FS Traffic. So cool to see a line of America West planes at PHX.

Upon more research, it seems that this is correct because all Ryanair A320s operate under the Lauda banner.

"GA" is general aviation. We have a general aviation expansion for FS Traffic in development, however, we aren't able to share a timeframe on a release date at the moment.

A military traffic expansion is not something we are currently working on, but the feasibility of a military expansion will be investigated once the general aviation expansion has been released.

Much will depend on the airport(s) you are departing from, where you are going, time of day and what else is going on in the rest of the game. I think your best bet would be to contact Just Flight support and they can look into this specific case for you. There is a link on the website www.justflight.com

@Mark Thanks, Mark. That helps a lot.

We have seen several updates now by Asobo, but the problem of takeoffs/landing in opposite directions still exists, are they looking into this problem or has it been thrown into the too hard basket

@Mark Thanks, Mark. I did download the traffic control centre and installed it. However, when I try to launch it, I get this message:

The Traffic Control Centre cannot be opened without the FS Traffic Fleet installed. Please ensure the FS Traffic Fleet is correctly installed in your Community folder and try again.

For further assistance, please contact Just Flight support.

This is followed by:

An IO exception occurred

Could not find file 'C:\Users\ssurj\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\community\justflight-fstraffic-controlcentre\Data\trafficControlCentre\airportLookup.xlsx'.

Please close the file: airportLookup.xlsx and then restart this program

What else do I need to do? Thanks.

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)

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.

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.
