This has happened to me from time to time and its really annoying. All of a sudden I have lost all my traffic at airports. I am using F1 UT II Traffic. I tried resetting. Ctrl-sh!ft-R and Ctrl-sh!ft-T etc and no good.. I see the UT2 running my services.

 

I didn't do anything to to UT. It was working fine all this time.... Suddenly it decides to pull a disappearing act.

 

How the heck do I debug this thing to see where what went wrong? Any ideas?

Is the time of day and time zone you are flying in correct for your location? I noticed no or way less traffic than expected too and figured out it was because I would set my pc clock to the departure time of a real world flight for a real world city, one which I was several time zones away, but not change my time zone on my local pc. So, I would set my pc time to say 7a US Eastern time. However, the flight I would do would be a departure out of the west coast of the US(3 hours behind Eastern time). So, in reality, I was departing at 4a Pacific time and there were, as you can imagine, no scheduled flights at this time therefore I'd see little or no traffic at all. I hope I explained that right and that makes sense.

 

Another possibility too with UTII is if you have no repaints assigned in the UTII setup and have default paints turned off. You wouldn't see any AI there either as UT would not know what repaint/plane to use for a given airline/flight plan.

Another possibility too

 

Hi Kevin..

 

Thank You.

 

It was a situation where I had zero traffic. And I kept moving from one major airport to another in different time zoner... I still had zero traffic.

 

But I restarted FSX and then I still had 0 traffic..but after I kep hitting ctl+Sh!ft+F12 , I got my traffic back. So its bit of a crap shoot... Oh well!

It shouldn't really be a crap shoot though I don't think. You can also check your traffic settings, both in FSX itself and in UTII. I don't remember all the options in UTII but there is one that will try to keep a certain framerate(I have mine set at I believe 0 which means it doesn't care what FPS I'm getting in FSX, it still generates traffic). Also, there is a slider in UTII that sets the number of aircraft to generate. I have mine set all the way to the right. There are other settings that control at what altitude UTII generates ground traffic and at what distance I believe to generate them from or within. There are two different sets in UTII too. The daily traffic and the weekly traffic. I believe the airline traffic all lives in the weekly traffic but am not 100% sure. Anyway, more ideas of things to check for you....
