Are return flights posible?
-
Hi all
I bought FS Traffic the other day and it is working well in the main.
However, if I do a return flight I get no traffic at the destination airport, (the one I started from.Please advise if this is a known problem.
Its definitely not a show stopper, but if I know it wont work I will stop trying.
Thanks in advance if you can help.
Best wishes.

It is possible to complete multiple flights with FS Traffic without exiting to the main menu, however, you must always enter the new destination airport in the FS Traffic in-game menu in order for traffic to generate there.
For example, if you wish to fly EGLL to EHAM to EGLL all in one sitting, you would need to set EHAM as the destination prior to departing EGLL, and then set EGLL as the destination prior to departing EHAM.
Hope that helps.

Hi @Mark. Sadly, this does not work. I have tried it several times following the procedure you described above but there are never any aircraft on the ground at the initial airport (in the situation you described above this would mean there are no aircraft at EGLL on the return trip). Please note FS Traffic is working on the return trip regarding AI aircraft in the sky but the airport is deserted of ground aircraft.
I have done considerable research into this since buying FS traffic early this week, apparently it is a issue with MSFS 2020 in as much as no aircraft on the return trip at the initial airport is a problem no matter which AI traffic program is used.
With a bit of luck this may not be an issue if and when Just flight make FS Traffic MSFS 2024 compatible? My understanding is Just flight are currently investigated if FS traffic will work in MSFS2024?
As I have conceded return trips do not work and probably will not work untill / if Microsoft fix the issue I have decided to try multiple flights NOT returning to the original airport. If I have any issues with this I will let you know.
Thanks for the replyBest wishes.

We currently have FS Traffic updates in the works covering MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. We have logged this potential return flight issue as something to investigate ahead of these updates.

@Mark Hi Mark Sadly with the new 1.07 installer return flights are still VERY hit and miss.
I have tried about 6 and on at least 4 times I have no aircraft at the initial airport
i.e
1/ I start from NZAA and fly to NZWN
2/ At NZWN all is fine with aircraft at the airport.
3. I then enter NZAA as my new destination.
4/ Fly to NZAA
5/ Sadly at NZAA it is a empty airport.Do you have any info as to why this may have not been addressed as your previous reply indicated it may be addressed in the next update?
Hopefully it will be addressed when traffic is made MSFS 2024 comparable?
Thanks in advance if you can supply any further information.
Best wishes.

We do have this logged on our internal trackers as something to investigate for a future update, but it fell outside the scope of the v1.0.7 update. There have been no significant changes to the destination traffic generation in the v1.0.7 update, so the return flight logic should still be the same as it was in the v1.0.6 build.
There are additional FS Traffic updates in development where we will be investigating this further.
