FS Traffic for MSFS

@blugreen118 said in FS Traffic for MSFS:
One of the current issues with AIG is that it spawns random airlines at every airport, aka European a320’s at Kansas City. Will FS Traffic load traffic that’s true to the airport we are in? This is something the older traffic products did quite well
Yes, that's the point of the program. However, it will place traffic based on what aircraft are available in the database. So, if the flight schedule says that a 797-500 is due to make that flight and there isn't one in the database, it will either substitute it for an A-350-600 or you won't see the flight. That's most likely going to be set as a user choice, as we have done in the past. Then, if an A-350-600 is added to the fleet at some point in the future, the flight will appear.

Hi I am really looking forward to this Addon and hope it is coming soon. I also have two questions. The first is, if this Addon will be compatible with other Addons like the upcoming GSX and Airports from other third part developers? The second question is if there will be a Livery Downloader within the Application so we can post and download missing Liveries and Planes into the Flightplans?

Airports will really depend on how they are set up by the developer. The software will be compatible with default airports and correctly set up 3rd party ones.
Liveries - yes, you will be able to import new liveries. Plane and flight plan imports are also things we are looking at.

@derek Oh perfect regarding Airports I was thinking about Gaya LOWW and Aerosoft German Airports?
No experience of those, personally, but I'd assume they will have correctly set parking and taxiways.

@derek why only the Dash 8 Q400? No 100,200 or 300. So in other words not much of Norwegian Airline then and many other airlines using those models?

We have a finite capacity for aircraft building. The aim is to get the most frequently seen aircraft and airlines out for release. We will probably add some more aircraft types as part of future upgrades.

I understand that but when a freeware option to your product offer more in terms of models then that cant really be all that positive, at least In my opinion if I was the developer. What added value does it bring to justify a purchase.

There have always been freeware alternatives to traffic programs. The main USP of all of the payware titles over the years is generally much the same and, in the case of Traffic (which we have been developing anfd publishing for over 20 years), the popularity is usually down to ease of use and the ability to expand your game with a single program that adds a comprehensive set of high quality, framerate-friendly AI aircraft, following realistic routes and sitting in the correct sort of parking slots.

"What added value does it bring to justify a purchase."You pay for premium quality, user experience, interface, ease-of-use, reliability, communication with the devs, accountability by the devs, reputation, updates and the list goes on.
Freeware offerings are great but they are far from easy to use and the AI themselves have erratic behavior.
-
@leinsters erratic bahaviour is an Abobo issue first and foremost. Most likely a problem regardless of ones AI traffic option be it FS Traffic, AIG or anything else.

and you don't expect Just Flight to have fixed that? these are the things that you pay for and why having the option to pay for premium content - despite there being a missing variation or two - is well worth it in my eyes.

As a future update would love to see a 737 MAX lineup as well, especially as we get into 2022 schedules and beyond -:)
-
Looking forward to this, especially as it’s become difficult with MSFS to get proper AI working.
Is there a current airline list at this stage?
Also is it going to be possible to use the user interface to add missing models possibly from freeware devs as well as repaints as mentioned above.
In terms of the flight plans are they representative of realistic routes or based on real timetables? For eg if it flies a route two days a week it would in the flight plans?
-
Will the program have the option to substitute aircraft out in real time like you can with JoinFS?
Also, looking at the development page... is that the total list of aircraft for launch? That is a little disappointing if so. Would have liked to have seen something like the BAe-146 since a bunch of those are still flown here in Australia and elsewhere.
Also, no cargo variants? That is even more disappointing.
-
Will there be a plane spotter mode as in FSX version?
Also I recall FSX had an option to put 1960s aircraft traffic at airport ie different eras of aircraft
This was excellent.Any plans to redo this?
Kind regards

Glad to see using new models! I had bought Aerosoft but the default Asobo pointy noses are really freaky sometimes! Will be glad to get rid of pointy noses for good.
Also glad to see the iconic 747-400, even though it's retiring I think most of us simulate previous years and we just can't get rid of the queen of the skies

@derek How’s development coming? Would love to see a new video lol
