Btw : here I only use the FsTraffic planes so perhaps I do not need to install the Exe file. The planes exist already + fleet update Exe.

I will be using the planes with PSXT Live Traffic.

Let me know how that goes and what you think of the models please.  This is what I was going to do as well.

After looking at the reviews and complaints, I just can't see any situation where FS Traffic isn't a waste of $40.

I see people reporting better performance than FSLTL. This is simply because FS Traffic injects less traffic. It may even they use more optimized models, but the performance gain is mainly because of that. And restricting traffic only to origin and destination airport is laughable. Needless to say about the complete absence of traffic at cruising altitude.

If you're having performance issues with FSLTL, you could spend a few minutes tweaking the settings to limit the amount of traffic rather than paying $40 for an addon to do it for you.

FS Traffic has severe limitations compared to free addons and these limitations for me, don't compensate for the performance gain compared to others. And as the limitations were not enough, the bugs are worrying. People who bought it on release day to date haven't seen any traffic so far despite multiple attempts to fix it. Possible incompatibility with GSX, which is perhaps one of the most popular MSFS addons and considered essential for many people...

I put all 4 folders outside MSFS and added them to Addons Linker.

For PSXT you only need the Fleet folder.

I now use FsTraffic ac as livery 0 and AIG as livery 1.

To each his own opinion. 😉

It's pretty amazing to read so many negative reviews as soon as a new product hits the market.
It was exactly the same when GSX came out.
Today everyone agrees to say that GSX is a must-have and tomorrow, the same complainers will say that FS Traffic is brilliant.

Personally, although I was very grateful to have great freeware, I was tired of losing 10 to 15 fps with FSLTL or checking every 10 minutes that the injector hadn't bugged with AIG.
That's why I decided to pay for a reliable and simple AI program, and I'm 100% satisfied with FS Traffic.
It works perfectly with GSX if you take the time to read the manual, aircraft models are great, sounds and effects are very good, and my departure and arrival airports are full of planes, as is the sky at cruising altitude.
What else could you ask for, especially when the performance is excellent?
Of course there are some early bugs and they will no doubt be fixed by Just Flight later on.

Now I can say without hesitation that contrary to some claims, FS Traffic performance vs freeware tools has nothing to do with the number of planes injected.
Here is KPDX.
Not bad, huh?

I seem to have it a real issue today with FS-Traffic. I get no aircraft at all. at any airport. Un-installed it after trying to regenerate the aircraft, anyone have any idea's? It worked fine yesterday. No changes to the PC since . PC specs below. FSTL still works fine when i tried that seperatly.

No with the same amount of aircraft FS traffic has better FPS

So you definitely think these models are good enough to add to our PSXT fleet?  I noticed they have an ERJ145 which the other two do not have.

Same problem! Except that i have traffic in some airports but in some where i have none. I made a flight yesterday KMSY to KRSQ, there was traffic on the ground, all the planes took off but not one plane that landed at this airport. Once in flight i only crossed 1 plane and few planes during my cruise flight. Arriving at KRSQ there was traffic but no traffic on the taxiways...

Saw similar things like you buddy, something goeing on with this Add, to bad, the planes are looking superb but what's the use if the add doesn't work properly.. But I think after some updates it will be a cool addon..

Did you test if using FsTraffic models with PSXT improves performance compared to using AIG models?

It sounds like you do not want to buy FS traffic and you want very one else to not buy it as well.
