FS Traffic

@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?

@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.

@steve67
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
