First update for XP version
-
Thanks for all the feedback so. We've released the first update for Traffic Global and this can be downloaded from your Just Flight account. Just log in and re-download from the link to the software. Ideally, you should uninstall the current version of TG first via Add/Remove, but it will overwrite as it uses a standard Windows installer. You may need to reboot afterwards, depending on when your machine was last turned off. We will be emailing all purchasers with information about the update as we do with all updates for our titles but we're just putting this note in the forum as a belt and braces.
This is the changelog.

@Derek Ya I've been testing the Takeoff is still not right, I've watched 2 planes take off get up to 200knots lift up 2-5 degrees then down again then float off in to the sky. And some times even stow the gears on the runaway.
I've also seen traffic get stuck behind me while parked at a gate not able to travel past me or turn the opposite direction to me while parked at a gate.

We have made some notes about this in the release notes for the update and it's an area we are still working on. The note file should have opened after installation:
Known Problems
There are still known problems with AI behaviour in various situations, but most particularly on initial start and after using time-shift in X-Plane. In both cases they should sort themselves out quickly.
AI flying characteristics will be changed in a future update.

I've been watching the take offs at 2 airports over 2-3 hours or so and its not changed, how long exactly does it take for it to sort itself out, because it doesn't seem to be fixing itself.
also there is a bug on the flight path window, if you click yourself on it and click w it disables the mouse pan, it locks it and won't let you pan your view by holding right click and moving you mouse, if I disable global traffic I can pan my mouse again.. soon as I turn it back on again it locks the pan view again.
