Great philosophy and product, but I must be doing something wrong

@deepsky said in Great philosophy and product, but I must be doing something wrong:
Just replying to the thread I opened myself. After playing around with FS Traffic for quite a while, I have been able to make it work much better for me. If it helps others, here are the steps I've taken:
As FS Traffic currently uses flight plans from 2022, we're automatically going to see much (!) less aircraft movements as these flight plans were affected by Corona. It means you'll see up to 50% less aircraft movements. That's a lot! It may have been a better option to include 2019 flight plans with the release of FS Traffic, but it's ok, they will be provided later. If you want to see more traffic, you need to manual
Really great but so much manual editing! Would love to see JF update FS Traffic to include GA and Cargo and increase the volume. Empty airports are not what I bought FS Traffic for!

@toby23 I see it exactly the same way.
It looks great, but I have so much data to download and edit! That is not in my mind. I want to enjoy a product. And not assemble it.I just hope JF adds more planes for this year. A343 -A346 and more.

Yes I agree, it would be better if the user would not need to assemble the product. At least, what I can confirm is that the product by itself seems to be functional, with the exception of the flight plans not resembling real life, and quite a few missing models and liveries.

@baxterchico I think for the performance, I have come to know that the performance heavily depends on how many AI aircraft you have moving in your Sim. E.g., if you have 50 airplanes moving, both FSLTL and FS Traffic will have a heavy impact on your CPU. Though I first thought FS Traffic has major benefits with regards to FPS, I'm now experiencing very similar results with both FSLTL and FS Traffic with regards to FPS at heavy AI traffic load. I think you won't have an FPS impact if you use a few FSLTL or AIG models here and there.

@toby23 Hi, I'm glad you like my pack. FS Traffic has added a few models and liveries. You'll still be able to use my pack, the only difference will at the moment be that instead of, e.g., a FS Traffic B757, you'll see an AIG 757. As FS Traffic's models are a little better than AIG's, I'm planning to update my pack so that in the future, FS Traffic planes will show whenever one is available. For the time being, you can continue to use my pack.
