FS Traffic for MSFS

@lukas3433 said in FS Traffic for MSFS:
@derek Are there any news about this tool? Because there is nothing new since around two months. Or are you just waiting for more news about SU11 Traffic Improvements?
Not waiting for SU11. We are currently working on the software itself. When there is more to show we will probably post up some screenshots or videos etc.

Hello everyone.
We are now getting towards the final stage of development of FS Traffic. Following the upcoming release of SU11 we do want to spend a bit of time testing and polishing the final product. Once this is done we will be in a position to give out more details, ramp up the preview content and even give a release date. Please see our new dev entry in the meantime.
Regards

@derek Great to see you will address GA as well. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long after release.
Are you planning on creating GA aircraft models as well, flightplans, or a tool with which we can create our own GA flightplans?For FSX there was a freeware tool called ga-traffic (2nd release candidate). It can still be found on several websites. With it one could create random GA traffic between and around airports. One could set the % of touch & go's, day and night traffic, vfr and ifr and what kind of airports to use, based on runway lengths and parking sizes and perhaps number of runways.
From what I remember the results were quite believable. Didn't see too many GA at heathrow but lots at smaller airports. MSFS might be different, we did have afcads in those days.

@jf-john Hey John, thanks for the update. Just one quick question. Is the list of airliners final? As I did notice some popular airliners are not in the list like Cebu Pacific
-
@stickysims Hello,
The list isn't final and we're adding more airlines as we speak. I'll see what I can do about Cebu. Any others you like to suggest then go ahead!
Cheers
John

@derek I only fly cargo. It would be nice if you could introduce some freighters ASAP, if only static non flyable. It gets pretty lonely pulling into empty cargo terminals. And in general cargo is the 'second class citizen' in flight sim which is a shame. During the pandemic cargo kept flying, passengers did not. And looking to the future there are a lot of reports within the industry that the passenger market is expected to decrease, some say significantly, while cargo is expected to greatly increase.
One day within the sim we may see a bustling cargo industry with lots of freighter aircraft, cargo trucks, trains, ground vehicles, workers etc. Much more interesting than passengers. Dream on!
Thanks for all you do at JF.

Hi,
We're looking to add a handful of additional beta testers to the FS Traffic team.
If you are interested then please drop me an email (if you click on my username it will take you to my profile page where you'll find my email address).
If you have any prior experience, please feel free to cover it in your message.Thanks

Not sure if this is the proper to ask for a request, but a Western Air repaint for ERJ145 would be greatly appreciated.

@robhatch Cargo is difficult because almost no schedules exist. Adhoc and private schedules are normal in the cargo world. Making custom plans from viewing flightaware/flightradar would be great to have, community members could make them as long as we have repaints to assign them to. Hopefully this package releases soon I am excited to try out AI in MSFS for the first time!
