No traffic at destination. Again and again.

@jf-john That sounds perfect, thank you

What has actually helped - and I am not using the latest update of V 1.0.6 yet - is that I only input the destinatio via CONFIRM shortly before takeoff and also set my destination before in the MSFS „From/To“ menu. This has worked 100%. But agree not ideal…

Using 1.6 (official), I had another no-traffic-at-destination event yesterday.
I entered the ICAO in the field (FST window) but noticed during approach that while the destination airport was normally shown in the field during flight, it had vanished at some point in time, with the skies and airport then just being empty. Feels like something is crashing ... idk.

Still an unreliable system unfortunately. Will keep trying though....

@disco79stu Hello,

Could you tell me what you departure and destination airport was? That way we can try to replicate.

@jf-john this was LIPY (bmw) - LFPO (jetstream)

Hello,
destination traffic worked fine under version 1.0.5 before. I set the destination airport within the FS Traffic menu outside MSFS.
Unfortunately, with version 1.0.6 this option outside MSFS does not exist anymore.
So, I set the destination once when setting up the flight in MSFS (departure and destination airports) and then I set the destination again within MSFS using the in-build FS Traffic menu.
Unfortunately, there was no traffic at the destination. So, I de-installed version 1.0.6 and installed prior version 1.0.5 again and everything works well there.
For your reference, it was a flight from LSZH to EDDB.

And again arrived at LIMJ from LFPO, with plenty of traffic on departure but practically none en route with zero at the destination. Destination filed correctly showed LMIJ.
Why is it even necessary to have this btw? Can't the system just spawn aircraft according to schedule by distance or something? Like every other traffic add on ever did?

@disco79stu Hello, I just did that same flight to test. No problems here.
Traffic at the departure airport, traffic during the entire route (not too much, although I guess it depends on the day and time) and traffic at the destination airport. Little, but everything according to the Schedules Manager of the FS Traffic Control Center for the arrival time.
FS Traffic version 1.0.6.
I am attaching some sample screenshots from different moments of the flight.

[disco79stu]

just to be sure, what should the airport vehicle density slider be set at?

[DigFS]

@disco79stu I now have it set to a value of 10.
According to the manual you can put any value between 1-100.

[disco79stu]

well, still can't makes sense of this.
I keep trying but it's just not working somehow. Just departed from LFQQ with one AI parked. So far so good, it's a small airport. Now I reached my cruising altitude and I haven't seen any other aircraft on TCAS so far, while I even overflew LFPG. It's just empty out there (compared to FSLTL, where I always see one or two aircraft once in a while).
I'm heading for LEBL, but I kinda already expecting to just arrive at an empty airport.... we'll see.
No Idea what else I can try at this point.

Edit: okay, saw no traffic in the air or during approach BUT barcelona was populated with parked and moving planes :) fingers crossed...
