New Freeware 'Live Traffic' Released

Recommended Posts

I spotted this over at the org just released today...

https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/49749-livetraffic/

I own WT3 and fairly happy with it but early reports in the review section appear to indicate this might be better than WT3 as it uses real world live traffic data somehow (whilst using the same freeware Bluebell models that WT3 uses). Before removing my WT3 install, it would be great if someone here wouldn't mind giving this a try and reporting back. On the surface it looks promising.

Here is the link to the developer's site:

Already tried it earlier today and could see the traffic. Its a good plugin and has the feature for real world traffic.

Seeing it as beta till 16th feb

Thanks for the info. I tried it too and well, it does what it says it does. The only thing i am confused about is whenever the 3d models of planes are also supposed to have the right airline skin or not. Because some did, others did not.

I just skipped through the documentation. If the author can work around the ground behavior limitations in future versions, this could be a real winner.

There seems to be no ground traffic. For me the primary task of a traffic addon is the population of airports.

I get the ground traffic. i presume it uses live data, so that area has no data it might not show traffic, I tried FACT Capetown i got only one AI.  

For Mumbai i see around 20 boeing or maybe airbuses. 

If you are seeing on labels than check your CSL folder

I did test it at EDDF and i got no aircraft parking at gates. There were a few in the air but that´s not really usable for me.

It's not supposed to do that. ADS-B coverage on the ground is very limited. This is not an ATC program, this one displays real planes in their phases of flight.
Read the offical website, there are lots of explaination on it
