No traffic at arrival airport

Did you pass 5,000ft and flew at least 250kts?
What worked best for me is to plan my flights in MSFS Worldmap including a destination, and don't change a thing! -
@steve67 That might be it. Most of my flights were short hops with turboprops below 5000 feet. Was unaware of that rule. Will try again later today above 5000.

Just did EGNM-EGLL
Cruise time 44 minutes
Cruise speed 274 kts
Cruise Altitude 14,000 ftEGLL empty on arrival :confused_face:
@bpfonteyn To get a feeling of the whole system (especially with traffic at the destination) I did my first testflights with small, default airports. Next complex destination, next complex departure.
Yes, very annoying for a payware product, but still ...
I still don't have a clue how the whole system works! That's why I startet the topic: Please give us some info and best practice about destination
But I didn't got that much useful answers (yet) :-( -

We will be supporting alternate destinations in flight asap.
The skies should be populated with cruise traffic during your flight. If you are not seeing any then please get in touch with support so they can look into it for you.@rich said in No traffic at arrival airport:

Does this mean, (despite the manual: "The destination ICAO can be changed at any time during a flight, allowing for flights to alternate airports."!!) alternates doesn't work at all at the moment?!?
I thought this happens only on my system! :astonished_face: -

but again, might be a placebo, you know how wierd things are ! -

- So, maybe using jetways is part of the object-limit (more objects in use when moving)?
- is the object-limit part of the whole flightsimsession (all objects from departure, during flight, 'til arrival?)?
- or is the object-limit only part of the actual scene (like what I "see" on screen right now?)?

if you enter dev mode and look into option / sim object, if there are nothing in red color here, them you don t exceed sim object limit

Allright, I thought I know how to do it.
Tonight, flight from EDDN to EDDM, PMDG 737-700.- traffic at departure (arrivals and departures)!
- at arrival? Nothing, niente, nada, no aircrafts!! :angry_face:
- startet FSTL, lots of aircrafts at the gates
This software is driving me nuts!

Excellent, good to know! Thank you!
Steve, i have 100%success so far and this is how (it s something i ve read on another forum ) ;
once flight is loaded , open fs traffic toolbar and WAIT for the arrival ICAO to fill automatically.
then DO NOT press confirm. wait a few second and close it.
i also lowered time before departure to 90 minutes.
100% success -

Thank you for all your feedback. It's so dissapointing, that the devs don't kick in and give us suggestions how it's done correct!
I think it's very important when you open the destination aka toolbar-window. I did it after takeoff and this is probably to late! I will do it next time before I even move my plane and will report. -

Certainly a dev stated that you should open the JF button on the toolbar and wait for the destination ICAO to auto-populate. This can take a moment or two.
Also there is the manual, which gives you two methods of flight planning.
They are aware of the issues.

@gogolito I certainly do not get 100% success on this suggestion. I have tried it myself.

Same issue for me as well. Have tested FSTraffic the entire weekend completing different flights of various durations on PMDG 737-800. A lot of traffic on departure airport and absolutely NO TRAFFIC at arrival airport.
Just Flight, fix your software as soon as possible!

Honestly its a little bit baffling why everyone is having different experiences. All of the suggestions above should work in theory. One thing I would suggest if using the toolbar option, is leaving it open for at least 20 seconds after confirming the destination.
You are correct about opening the toolbar, even if you used the MSFS flight planner, the toolbar should still be opened, preferably at the start of the flight but as long as its opened at some point well before the destination you should be good.
Are you familiar with MSFS's dev mode option at all. That can give us some pointers as to what might be going on.

@vanngster We are working on a major revamp of the system which should sort out the instability of destination traffic. As I said above its baffling why everyone seems to have different experiences however we believe that simplifying things under the hood should stop these issues.
In the meantime if you haven't already, please send a support ticket. Support will give you instructions to send you console log which should give us some idea what might be going on in your case.
