Is there a way to tweak the speed of the car traffic--specifically, to slow it down? I seem to recall that there was a file you could alter in fsx. I'm looking to do it in P3D v3.4

Hi,

 

The only way I know that works with P3D v3 is to edit your "c:\Users\<your_name>\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\LWcfg.xml" file. Look for the following entry (it is repeated for all regions, I've replaced all occurrences automatically):

<FreewayTraffic TrafficSpeed="100">

A value of 55 seems to work fine for me (according to documentation, it's in KPH, but I'm not 100% sure that's the case).

Hi,

 

Search for "Ironhand-Slower_Traffic" and yes it does work in P3D

If you go to the SimObjects --> Ground Vehicles and for each vehicle you edit "max_speed_mph" in the sim.cfg file to the speed you desire.

 

I followed Tym's suggestion and changed the speed to 50 to all instances of <FreewayTraffic TrafficSpeed="100"> within LWcfg.xml

Thanks guys
