Feature Requests
-
I have previously used FSLTL and was happy with it for parked aircraft and en route aircraft. Where it was found wanting was AI traffic moving around the airport, takeoffs and landings. I have now bought FSTraffic and have the following comments to make:
Pros:
- Planes AI moving around the airports is superb as are landings and takeoffs
- Plane models are terrific
- There is no separate program to set running off-sim to make it work
Cons:
- The necessity to have to exit and reload the sim if you want to change your departure airport and see aircraft (BIG CON)
- If you need to divert then no aircraft at alternate airport
- Unlike FSLTL FSTraffic seems to have many conflicts with third party add-ons. I frequently experience CTD and in one instance a complete reboot of the pc.
Feature requests:
- Cargo aircraft
- GA traffic including bizjets
- Faster pushbacks after spawning in
- AI aircraft interacting with ATC
- Updating and patching via Traffic Control Centre rather than having to visit website.
At the moment FSLTL is a far more stable product however if FSTraffic can sort out the fundimental issues plaguing it then it should become the gold standard.

@holymoly To this I would add that I think the hybrid FSTraffic + FSLTL scenario is what work best, if you are OK with live traffic that is.
FSLTL has an embedded function that prioritizes FStraffic models over their own.
FSTraffic has better and more diverse models (and more coming up) while FSLTL currently has more liveries and a better customer support (discord channel). -
There are no Dash3,4 or SF3 sf3 models yet the schedules include them but those models point to DH8
my features would be to include the saab and dash models
Reason being is at smaller airports, some only have DH3 or -
General aviation from all GA fields. Anything on an IFR flightplan should be easy, as I'm assuming you can get that data from the same place you're getting the airlines, VFR is more challenging, but some random, but realistic VFT traffic would be awesome, too! TIA...

@kevykevtpa for VFR GA traffic, check out my post about GAmod.

I wish there was the possibility to customize the installation folder, so that we can install it outside of the default community folder.
This is useful, for example, in case the default disk of the Community folder is full or about to be full or simply to be able to activate/deactivate it through applications such as Addons Linker.I know that moving the folders manually also works, but it doesn't seem like the best method to me.

After the latest updates I'm happy with fs-traffic!
Nice traffic at departure and destination. Thank you JF!
But to my taste the "action" at the destination begins to late :-(So my feature request is:
Please start the "action" (departures and arrivals) 10 minutes or 50nmi earlier or make some kind of a slider to configure that, so that there is "action" at the destination during my approach and not only when I'm sitting 5-10 minutes at my destination-gate.Thank you

When/will fs traffic be released on xbox? I have heard rumors that it will and haven’t heard much since! Hoping for an update @JustFlight. Thank you. I’m probably speaking for many Xbox users but I am fed up about the current traffic. The models are very unrealistic and ruins the experience. I’m counting on you @JustFlight

No rumours from us. We have always said that we will offer the software to MS (as we do with all our MSFS releases) and, if it's acceptable, they will sell on the Marketplace for PC. In theory, with the WASM issue solved, it should also run on console, but, until it's tested we can't say for certain. We don't have any firm dates for a MarketPlace build, but it should not be too far off. After that it is up to MS.

@caffer @Five-Birds @brunorene8410 @FlighSim_Passion
Well Nobody in JF Team seems to be concerned about giving us an answer about compatibility between Fs Traffic and Fs Hud...
I'll buy when the compatibility will be effective... -
@denzel Sorry for the delay in responding.
It’s not something that’s in the foreseeable plans for FST. It requires that you use FSHUD to generate the traffic and that's not a route that we want to be going down right now. Hope that helps to at least give you an answer.
-
Add a "remove nearby traffic" functionality, to erase conflicting traffic on approaches.
-
Hello,
Would it be possible to have only static planes at the airports without the departures and arrivals? I use FSHUD+FSTL for "en route" aircraft. Static aircraft managed by FS Traffic use less CPU than FSHUD and seems a good combination. Can I tweak a file in the FS traffic folders to avoid departures and arrivals? Thank you.

@maximelb it looks like this is what you are looking for.

I have very little confidence in the confirm button, and always click on it 3 or 4 times. In the next update, any chance of flagging it, so that you have clicked on it and its been accepted. ie after you click on it, it changes colour?

Hi JF,
I don't own this yet, but I was wondering/dreaming... I wanted to simulate the year 1960 as closely as possible. So, presumably 1. I'd have to obtain the aircraft models and load them into the sim from somewhere. 2. I'd have to program the flight routes into FS Traffic as appropriate to the aircraft operating limits. 3. And then set the date to 1960 in the sim.
Would FS traffic obey the date? Or would I still see Airbuses flying around? Do you think this technique is the best way to achieve my aims?
-
@disco79stu Yes, this is much needed :)
-
@flit You don't have to set the date. FS Traffic only bases it schedules on the programmed day. Month and year are not programmed and there is no way of doing that, at the moment at least. So if you make new schedules, regardless of the date in the sim, the 1960 schedule will be active. You would have to copy in and out different versions of the schedules if you wanted individual years to be different.
