March 20, 20197 yr Hello All, I've searched this forum and google to find a solution, but so far NO JOY! I recently tried using LittleNavMap for my X-Plane 11 online flying (PilotEdge & Vatsim) and love the program, however I have yet to figure out how in the world to get online traffic in my vicinity to appear on the map. That being said, it doesn't matter what program I use NO online traffic appears so It's not just a LittleNavMap issue. It doesn't work with Plan-G and no traffic appears on my Reality XP GTN 750 either. Is there a setting in X-Plane 11 I need to change for AI or Online traffic to appear in LittleNavMap? So far I've tried the following: Run LittleNavMap on same PC as X-Plane - No traffic, but my aircraft DOES appear. Run LittleNavMap on 2nd, "Client" PC using LittleNavConnect on X-Plane, "Server" pc. LittleNavConnect connects to x-plane just fine and my plane, again appears just fine on LittleNavMap on the Client pc, however NO online traffic is displayed even though I can see that traffic out my aircraft window. the port as listed in LittleNavMap is open in my router and the firewall doesn't appear to be blocking anything, so I'm at a loss. Same setup works just fine with P3D. Should LittleNavMap, or for that matter, any moving map be capable of displaying online traffic? Thank you for your help.

Thank you. I found the AI Traffic under aircraft customization, but that just adds a bunch of random X-Plane AI traffic.
March 20, 20197 yr @Robert Edwards Enable VATSIM traffic in the options dialog on tab "Online Flying" in LNM. This will show all VATSIM online aircraft and centers worlwide but only updated once in three minutes. Same for pilot edge but you have add a manual configuration. To see online aircraft from VATSIM in LNM you have to use an online flying tool like VATSPY or something. This will inject the aircraft in the sim and LNM will display them. These will be updated in real time. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
March 20, 20197 yr Author Wait what? I have to use VATSPY to "Inject" traffic into the sim? That doesn't make any sense. If I'm on the VATSIM the sim itself should be seeing the AI traffic which it clearly does because I can see it out my window. VATSPY does not inject any traffic at all, it simply displays it on the VATSPY map. Yes, I can check the VATSIM option and I see that traffic updated every few minutes like you said, but I'm not seeing any LIVE traffic injected to the map from the Sim. Maybe I misinterpreted what you are saying though.
March 20, 20197 yr Not sure VATSPY does this (maybe another of these online tools, no idea) but there are tools like X-IVAP that are needed that you can see the aircraft in the simulator which are then also visible the LNM. Or you stick with the three minute thing. The simulator itself cannot know the online aircraft. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap

The PilotEdge pilot client is injecting the AI traffic. I see it in the sim, outside my window, flying patterns, yet they do not show on LMN. So if the AI traffic is clearly there why is LMN not displaying it on the map? In looking into it further it sounds like there may be a setting in PilotEdge I need to adjust so that it allows traffic to appear on moving maps. I'll have a go at that and see if I succeed. I definitely look forward to using LNM either way as it's a great program. Thanks again. Edited March 21, 20197 yr by Robert Edwards
March 22, 20197 yr Author Well... this is becoming comical now... Has to be an X-Plane 11 setting I'm missing. I can not for the life of me get any online traffic to appear on any moving map on either PilotEdge or VATSIM, even though the aircraft are clearly visible outside my window. P3D works just fine. How Frustrating... Edited March 22, 20197 yr by Robert Edwards
March 22, 20197 yr Robert, most important thing: Can you see the traffic on the default X-Plane map? If it is not visible there, it is not visible to LNM. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap

I'll see if the traffic is appearing on the x-plane map. I did manage to get it to work on my GTN750 somehow (no idea what button I pushed) but still not on LNM.
March 28, 20197 yr Hi Robert, if you see the aircraft in X-Plane you should see them in LNM too. is "Show AI and Multiplayer Aircraft" in menu "View" selected? "Fetch AI or multiplayer aircraft" checked in the connect dialog? Just want to rule out the obvious. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
March 28, 20197 yr Author Me too... I'm sure a solution will present itself eventually. I'm not too worried about it at the moment since it's working with the GTN. Thank you again for your help.
April 15, 20197 yr All settings are set to display AI aircraft, but the AI aircraft do not appear in Little Navmap's map. In the "View" menu of Little Navmap, "Show AI and Multplayer Aircraft" is checked, but greyed out. Does that supply a clue?
