No traffic at arrival airport
-
No, you have not fixed the problem. I believe the manual gives two methods, of which one of them is your “fix”. Either that or a dev has already asked people try this method. I myself have already tried your suggestion without success.
If it was that simple don’t you think the devs would have fixed it by now?
Kudos, however, for your efforts 👍
@bpfonteyn
Sorry, but maybe you misunderstand what i did, attached is the two methods of the manual, both say click the fly button THEN type and confirm the destination,
what I'm saying is from the fstraffic control centre type in the destination and confirm BEFORE you hit the fly button.
I had been trying for weeks with know aircraft at destination, I tried this method and it works for me,here is what the the manual says,
Method 1 – setting the destination via the in-game menu:
- Load MSFS and go to the World Map.
- Select your departure airport and then click the FLY button.
- Once loaded into the flight, open the FS Traffic in-game menu.
- Type the four-letter ICAO code of your destination airport into the DESTINATION ICAO field (for example,
EGLL for London Heathrow, EHAM for Amsterdam etc.). - Press CONFIRM.
Method 2 – setting the destination via the MSFS main menu: - Load MSFS and go to the World Map.
- Select your departure and arrival airports and then click the FLY button.
- Once loaded into the flight, open the FS Traffic in-game menu.
- Confirm that the four-letter ICAO code of your destination airport is in the DESTINATION ICAO field.

@hunterdouglas i have done that. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

That is the problem for the developers I think, I agree, same here: sometimes traffic and sometimes nothing, an empty destination airport. Last few flights were perfect, 6 flights in the weekend with 5 times a very active traffic at the destination airport and only at 1 (Frankfurt) I was alone…

@hunterdouglas I echo this

As I already wrote here: https://community.justflight.com/post/19995
Problem with missing traffic at destination is solved with v1.0.3 on my system!
I also have traffic at destination when I- fly slower than 250kts and lower than 5000ft - e.g. GA like Turbo Arrow!
- start in the air and choose destination later on in toolbar
So things are way better now (at least on my system)!
Thank you Justflight, FS Traffic is getting useful to me now ;-) -
Just had a flight from ENGM to EDDH. Plenty of parked and moving planes at ENGM. EDDH empty. It's getting really frustrating and it is ruining the experience. This time I forgot to enter EDDH in the in-game panel. But it was entered both in MSFS planning menu and in the FMC of the aircraft (Fenix A320). Shouldn't that be enough? It is way to easy to forget the in-game panel. Besides it will autofill when opened up anyway. So I really don't get it. I think the regime is too complex. I just want some planes at the airport. How hard can it be. I'm close to reintroduce Simple Traffic again. At least that is a set it and forget it piece of software... Better with ugly looking AI planes than nothing at all.

Yes, I too really dislike this requirement to have to enter the destination ICAO into the toolbar, even if it is just to open it for populating. By the fact that it automatically populates the field, it must be getting the info from our flight planner. Therefore why can’t this be done silently behind the scenes as it were? Why did we need to add this extra input?
Two days ago I flew from FMMI-EGLL, an eleven hour flight. When I arrived in EGLL, there were no AI at all. None on the ground and none arriving. I have a feeling this was due to the fact that I may have forgotten to open the JF toolbar window. I can’t remember doing it for certain. It’s a right pain in the neck having to open that wretched window field in the toolbar.

@bpfonteyn Agree! It's like we are doing some sort of workaround to get it to work. But this is the actual design. I think the concept is all wrong, and requires too much attention from the user. I'm having my hands full setting up flights and do the actual flying. Why not a pop-up window asking us to confirm the destination? Instead of having to open panels.
It's like I must have my own checklist just for FS Traffic?I am going back to simple traffic till this software are actually ready for the marked.

I’m not going to uninstall JFT as it has improved a lot since initial release. I just wish the devs could stop the requirement for us to have to do the ICAO confirmation.

To be honest, in my last flights I opened the in-game panel to add the destination, because I didn't enter a destination during flightplanning. I always had traffic at my destination.
So to me it seems you have to or should open the in-game panel.
The good thing though, with v1.0.3 you can do it during the cruise.But you are all right, it is a pain and shouldn't be necessary at all!!

I have the solution!...Just make the program work the way literally every FS9 and FSX traffic programmed worked before without having to jump through any hoops...It CAN be done because it HAS been done...I knew I was in trouble when I found out I had to do steps to make it work.

We are one year later and the issue has not been solved yet. At random there is no traffic. Sometimes there is....sometimes there is not. Sometimes there are only go arounds because AI is spamming and sometimes airports are ghosttowns. I often fly the same route and some days are good, some days are bad. And that is not good for 36 euro's software.

Have you been in touch with Just Flight support? They shpould be able to look into this issue for you.

Had this issue happen to me since I started using FS traffic this month and the only thing that worked for me was the following:
- Select destination in MSFS
- Click on FS traffic from the toolbar and wait until it populates the destination, then click confirm
- Wait a few seconds then close the pop up
I think a lot of people in this forum said these steps would work but have seen others say it didn’t work, so just sharing my own experience here.
Now I need to figure out how to reduce traffic at arrival (lol) as I couldn’t land in one out of two times due to excessive traffic (one plane approaching with me and one on the runway sayintentions ATC cleared me to land on)
