@Derek
TG is due one more major update that will update the database and add some new aircraft, but, in terms of what it's supposed to do - adding AI traffic to FSX and P3D - it already fulfils that function.Any further information regarding the release date of this "major update"?
The database update in particular being the more important componentNot long now. Lot of stuff in testing at the moment.
-
One of the problems with TG for the users is the Scenery folder it is not optimised for TG to give a good level of AI traffic TG will only load what the AFCAD`s allow for.
I do hope the problem aircraft have been corrected AKA Cargo aircraft not showing in P3Dv4.5 (reported last year on the now defunct early access forum).
Looking forward to the final release.

Hi Ray,
I've put a new build out today to our testers. The app has been updated so that it will recognise any third party scenery, whether its installed into P3D locally, into \Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons or in a completely custom location outside either of those two places.
Also included is a cargo-specific flight plan generator outside of the normal commercial traffic compiler. This will generate multi-legged flight plans between any and all airports that have cargo spaces, and adds a separate cargo bgl to the sim. We also have new aircraft types and cargo liveries in-bound.
Also coming is a brand new set of GA aircraft and a dedicated GA compiling system that will populate all the GA airports in the sim. -

9 weeks 4 days = TG's second birthday!
I must send JF a card....
Btw...though it's great to hear that the GA is (hopefully) moving away from frame rate hungry default and T360 models and that cargo flights are finally now being addressed, what's happened to the often-promised update to the scheduling that has been in the works since forever?
eg:

"As Rich posted some time ago, he is working on an update that will change the way flights are scheduled" -

Looking forward to that, Rich.
Maybe now we'll get some liveries applied to these rather nice models...
(hope all at JF & their families are coping ok during this unprecendented crisis) -

Thanks Capt. Things are a little difficult at the moment as we try to balance family and works needs. We're still working though, albeit some of the team at a reduced level just at the moment. Hope everyone out there is staying safe.
At the moment the latest aircraft files issue was an EA release rather than an official update. The aircraft will continue to be worked on to address any feedback that has come in.

@Rich
The overriding priority is the continued health of you all and of your families. Though I'm certain that we all appreciate the fact that you're all doing that you can to continue working on your products, some delay in their release is most definitely very understandable.
Stay safe!Frank
