Traffic reports

[enchantedloom 0]

Not a biggie, but when I take off with flight following I get a bunch of traffic reports about AI a/c that are still on the ground. It's a bit distracting, but great that we get traffic reports, anyway. It adds a lot!

Is this with X-Plane?  What airport did it happen at?

Thanks,

Yes, XP11. It's happened at several airports, so I assumed it was all of them! I'll check.

Yep, just took off from my home base at KFLG and as my wheels were going up, Tower gave me a traffic report 2 o'clock, 1m at 7000ft (which is airport altitude). I've had them from sea-level airports, too, e.g. KPIE or KRSW. Maybe it's an XP11 thing - I never used AI traffic on XP10 so I wouldn't have noticed. XP11 defaults to allowing sloping runways, so it's not that parked planes can seem slightly off the ground, maybe?

In X-Plane, the program has to figure out if a plane is on the ground or not.  I've tweaked it a bit so hopefully in the next update, this problem will go away.  I guess it's also possible there something different in XP-11, but I suspect it should work.

Thanks,
