Invisible AI / Very few planes in departure airport

@deepsky I thought I had read a post where you had done the opposite and used FSLTL's injector to only inject FS Traffic optimised models, my mistake.
The problem I have with your method is the time required to set it all up, I just don't want to do that any more in the sim. I want to fly and see the world!
I did all this in the past many times and had military, cargo, GA, commercial all flying at the right time in the right place etc in FSX and it looked wonderful, the skies were alive literally.
I miss that in MSFS currently and empty airports are a sad and lonely place to be with only me and one or two high vis staff on the apron.

@toby23 I understand what you mean. Yes, I previously used FS Traffic models in FSLTL only and I had the FSLTL models deactivated by removing them from the Community folder. This worked, but the downside, as I later figured out, is that FS Traffic currently does not have lots of the models and liveries that FSLTL has. It means lots of the airplanes that FSLTL would like to generate would never be seen as there were no FS Traffic liveries etc.

I've finalised my "linking" work (linking FSLTL and AIG models into FS Traffic) and will make this available shortly. I looked into this a bit further and the aircraft.ini files should be fine to share, just as it is fine to share FS Traffic flight plans. It will give you the opportunity to use FS Traffic and enjoy the full benefit of its functions, but also have many of the missing models replaced by FSLTL and AIG models.

@deepsky Exactly! That's great that you have made a linker. I can't wait to try it, thank you for your work.

@toby23 I've sorted this today, see here: https://flightsim.to/file/56275/more-fs-traffic-aircraft-and-airlines

I hope this gives more FS Traffic users a great experience and shows them what FS Traffic is capable of.

@deepsky thanks for this!. Could you advise how to add Hawaiian's 717 fleet? I guess the only way is through AIG although I dread having to go through its installation process. Is there a way to download only this model/livery from somewhere and having it work in FS Traffic/FSLTL or should I go through AIG's installation hell?

deepsky

@monkeypants Yes, that's right, it's an AIG model.

Though I haven't downloaded individual files, I think it is possible and explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnfGRLdy6M4

@deepsky Thank you, it works so well and fills the airports with liveries and aircraft that weren't there before!

deepsky

@toby23 I'm glad you're enjoying it!

@deepsky It's fantastic, all these mods that people have done , but are we going to lose them all when we upload the new update?

deepsky

@hunterdouglas My mod will still be functional after the update. Once the new update has been released, I will update the mod and ensure any new aircraft added by JustFlight are appropriately reflected in the mod.
