FS Traffic

@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?

@jf-john Another update (1.0.6) and the error is still there.
How difficult is it to fix?...

@bmaising I was able to regenerate after going back into the menu and starting a new flight and haven't been able to replicate the issue again since. We will check the if the issue exists at the destination next.

Thanks for the update. That one had us scratching our heads for a while.

Thank you for reporting this. We believe we have identified an issue with the winter 2022/23 database that is preventing traffic from generating at some Chinese airports.

As a short-term solution for no traffic at Chinese airports, we would recommend heading to the Traffic Control Centre > Options page and setting the database selection to Summer 2022, and confirming the change.

We will continue working on a permanent fix for this and include the fix in a following update to FS Traffic.

Most of these settings are completely personal preference, bearing in mind performance. I use the same as @Art_P for Time before departure and time between cruise traffic.

Substitutions - I personally prefer no substitutions as I'd rather lose a few schedules for the sake of not seeing blank liveried aircraft that you see under fallback textures.

Wingspan - I would recommend having the wingspan options set to either compatibility mode Low or High so that aircraft will spawn at poorly optimised default airports. The High settings allows more widebodies to spawn at these airports however it increases the risk of overlapping aircraft when parked.

LOD setting - This is dependant on your hardware. On my machine I have no issue setting this to High, however if your FPS suffers you may want to say at default or even low. It will reduce the visual quality of aircraft at certain distances though.

Texture Detail - If your graphics card lacks VRAM and you are getting stutters then I'd recommend setting this to low. The textures on the aircraft will be slightly lower resolution but unless you very close up to the aircraft, its barely noticeable.

Database selection - Totally personal preference. I personally prefer the winter schedules as there are a few more flights at my favourite airports.

Hope this helps

Hello,

Thanks for the report. I was able to replicate this and we are looking into it now. As a work around you can edit the .ini files directly located in. \justflight-fstraffic-module\Data\Aircraft\aircraftIniFiles

@hunterdouglas Thank you, very good to know 😁

@bigtaff Compatibility mode high also reduces the flight model wingspans of the widebody aircraft. This means you will see more widebodies at airports with poorly optimised gate sizes at the risk of aircraft overlapping when parked.

@rich Good to hear your working on ga aircraft. Any timeline as yet. joe

@commanderbus We are working for a fix on this one now. Look out for the next fleet update in the coming weeks.

Thank you @jf-john for your reply. I see the white liveried aircrafts in both departure and destination airports, perhaps a little bit more at the departure airport.

With regards to the other issue of lack of planes with liveries specific to the airport (e.g. British Airways in U.K. Airports, or Hawaiian Airline in Hawaii, or Philippine Airlines in Manila, etc.), this appears to involve all the major airports.

Thanks!

@scoobyx Thank you for the info.

GSX would only push MSFS over its object limit but it wouldn't crash the module, hence you should still see aircraft at other airports with fewer objects on a new flight. We did identify some issues that could stop FS Traffic detecting the airport location which is fixed in V1.0.6.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Hi,
It sounds like you might still have default AI enabled.
If you follow the quick start guide on page 7 of the manual it will take you through the recommended settings for the simulator.

@greystone93 Did you check the airport's schedule in the FS Traffic Control Centre to see if departures are scheduled in that time period with aircraft liveries included with FS Traffic? If you are only having the problem at night, I assume that object limit is not the problem.

@jf-john Yes, it's the airport from Drzewiecki Design. After removal of some static objects, the traffic there is working.
