FS Traffic

In options under traffic Options, select Alternate Livery

@zazza1985 said in AI Aircraft flying at low altitude:

@art_p No it does not leave a contrail.

Well, I see aircraft in my vicinity on the VFR map, then look up and see a contrail. I assume that aircraft is above 8000 feet and much more. I don't know how the flights at altitude are generated since no traffic appears at lower altitudes to/from nearby airports except associated with the departure and destination airports.

I was wondering about this as well the other day. I use FSLTL as my injector, and I have the same issue. I’ll do a flight from A to B, traffic will be working, then do a turnaround and do B to A. On the turnaround, I’ll see traffic in the air, but once I arrive at my destination, there is no traffic on the ground at all. Once aircraft touch the ground they disappear. I find I have to completely restart MSFS to get it to work again, going back to the main menu doesn’t help.

So seems like this is just another Asobo AI traffic bug

@zazza1985 Just thought if you stated one flight in .ini file that doesn't show in FSTCC, I'd check in mine. Sounds like you need to reinstall or submit a support ticket.

@art_p You are right, so I did a little testing at a small airport that only had a few departures/arrivals. FS Traffic schedules often duplicate same flights with them departing and/or arriving a few minutes apart. I observed one of the duplicate flights in the arrival schedule get there pretty much as scheduled but the other did a 360 away from the airport to delay it's arrival. AI flights will not arrive at the departure or arrival airport unless they are in the arrival schedule. AI flights from your departure airport will arrive at your arrival airport even if they are not in the arrival schedule. That made me wonder if I would see duplicates of AI arrivals from my departure airport if they were on the arrival schedule. That did not happen.

Good question. You can always open the schedule .ini file in the community folder and change the 0 to 2 with notepad and save. I guess the thinking is that 2 or 3 minutes doesn't matter because there are several varying factors that affect when the aircraft actually backs away from the gate. The schedules with odd minutes in departure times probably weren't created with the Control Centre.

@art_p I know but there must be an easier way to do that. Like an Import-button or something like that could be added to the program. Would be awesome. :)

@dansmith I'm not sure the Control Centre works correctly yet. Two things that aggravate me are that the day displayed is changed when changes are saved and deleting a line in scheduled flights will delete multiple lines. Editing a line is another adventure.

@art_p Well, yes :anxious_face_with_sweat: Some things here with the schedules are hard to understand at the moment

@piedmonitor Fokker 70/100 would be cool too for FS Traffic

certainly not me, my system is not even close to yours and I run fs traffic + fsltl + aig
Maybe some other factor?

well, still can't makes sense of this.
I keep trying but it's just not working somehow. Just departed from LFQQ with one AI parked. So far so good, it's a small airport. Now I reached my cruising altitude and I haven't seen any other aircraft on TCAS so far, while I even overflew LFPG. It's just empty out there (compared to FSLTL, where I always see one or two aircraft once in a while).
I'm heading for LEBL, but I kinda already expecting to just arrive at an empty airport.... we'll see.
No Idea what else I can try at this point.

Edit: okay, saw no traffic in the air or during approach BUT barcelona was populated with parked and moving planes :) fingers crossed...

@deepsky The pack is compatible with the new version of FS Traffic (v1.0.6)?

How does it work when you add your own schedules? If you fill in the wrong carrier for an aircraft, does it mean that plane does not show up at all in the sim? In the debug mode I saw some erros concerning missing liveries. Maybe that is the reason why I could not get my own schedules to work?
