FS Traffic

Hi everybody. GAmod has been updated regullary. Latest version in 100% combatible with AIflow´s new feature called AIcull. It was my idea and dev make it happen. See it in action here: https://youtu.be/Tce4SsQGbfo?si=4hKLt5hrL_t3pooL

We won't know for sure how these improvements will affect FS Traffic until we get access to the Sim Update 15 Beta, which based on Jorg's comment should hopefully be available in the next few weeks.

The changes they are making appear to be focused on improvements to the MSFS Live Traffic (including model matching), so you should definitely see an improvement if you are using FS Traffic with MSFS Live Traffic. With recent Sim Updates, improvements to the MSFS Live Traffic have also trickled down to the MSFS Offline Traffic, which will directly affect FS Traffic.

The changes they have listed do sound promising, and will hopefully fix some of our big bugbears with the current traffic engine. As FS Traffic uses the MSFS traffic engine, it should take advantage of these improvements automatically, but we will evaluate this and likely release an update after Sim Update 15 releases to fine-tune FS Traffic to the improved features.

Yes, it is possible to use the FS Traffic models and liveries with the simulator's Real-Time Traffic, but the model matching is broken in the simulator at the moment so the correct liveries likely won't show for each airline. For example, an easyJet flight may show as an A320 operated by a Chinese airline rather than an easyJet liveried A320.

The steps required to use FS Traffic with MSFS Live Traffic is covered on Page 33 of the FS Traffic manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003616/FSTraffic_MSFS_manual.pdf

For now though, we would recommend using the standard FS Traffic Offline Schedules if you want to see the correct aircraft models and liveries.

At the moment we are focusing on getting the GA expansion implemented in the simulator so we aren't looking at adding any additional schedules at this time. However, once the GA expansion has been released, we can look into the possibility of adding additional schedules to FS Traffic.

Did you add a lot of cargo liveries and planes to that package ??

@CapturingBearing2024 If the "Title=" entry of the aircraft has been correctly entered into the Aircraft Page in the Traffic Control Centre, then the aircraft will appear in the simulator based on the schedules listed on the Schedules Manager page.

The gates/parking positions that these cargo flights will generate at in the simulator will be determined by what airline codes have been set by the scenery developer. At third-party airports that have the airline codes set correctly for all of the gates, then you should see the cargo flights generating at the correct cargo gates. At default MSFS airports or other third-party airports that do not have airline codes set up for the gates, then you will likely see a mixture of passenger and cargo flights occupying all available gates/parking positions at the airport.

Yes, you are correct. There are 5 livery fields available for each aircraft in the Aircraft Manager page and this allows you to add multiple different liveries for each aircraft.

So for example, with the KLM E90 you could have the current KLM livery in Livery 1, the old KLM livery in Livery 2, and a special livery in Livery 3, and the FS Traffic module will pick one of these liveries at random when generating the aircraft in the simulator.

@CapturingBearing2024 Great to hear you got it working! Yes, that process will be the same for all Ai models from different suppliers.

@Mark said in Timetable and Aircraft from 2000....:

At the moment we are focusing on bringing GA (General Aviation) traffic into the simulator, and once complete, we can then evaluate what possible options we have for future traffic programs.

Awsome!

Thank you very much for this explanation, it explains everything I need to know.

@GunStrauss

GA first. Then we will see what sort of appetite there is.

it worked yesterday with a air 2000 733 but it isnt working today for some reason

It doesn't make sense to me to add a FSLTL aircraft for an aircraft that already has a FS Traffic livery defined. I have used FSLTL aircraft liveries in instances where FS Traffic included no livery for an aircraft with success.

I probably should ask Justfilght why, but if I add multiple liveries for one aircraft, the scheduled flight does not appear in the sim.

Change Wingspan Options to "Real World Values". Lower Time Before Departure Value. Omit "ramp" from atc_parking_types in aircraft.cfg files.

@Derek said in What can we expect in the next update?:

Yes, GA is still planned - it will be an expansion for the base pack. Being worked on and probably due out in early 2024.

Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply!

Just updated this list, FSLTL just added B788, AT45 and AT46 models to their library.
