Hey Mike, do you use it with FSLTL? If not, I can highly recommend it.

A lot less models and liveries though which means less traffic. That is where any perceived performance gains from using the FS Traffic models comes from.

Gerard,

How would you compare the FPS hit with PSXTraffic compared to e.g.  FSLTL or FSTraffic?

FPS hit depends far more on the number of AI aircraft being injected by each program, the number of which is selectable.

The question to ask yourself is: 'which would I enjoy more, AIG, FSLTL, FSTraffic or PSXTraffic?'
Plenty of pros and cons from each of them.

For me, seeing airliners that:

• follow traffic patterns as per real world ops (SIDs, STARs, holds, go-arounds, weather avoidance);
• take-off and land with realistic separation;
• park at the correct gates (even if the scenery developer hasn't done that properly),

is far more immersive than the other traffic programs that are limited by MSFS' own AI logic.

That's why a RealTraffic sub with PSXTraffic is worth every penny to me. YMMV.

That just happens if you start the second flight without going back to the main menu after the first flight. If you go back to the menu and then start the second flight you have traffic.

Not me. I have to restart the sim to get traffic after the first flight.

I'm more than happy with fewer models in payment for improved performance

FSLTL lets you dial in the exact number and type of AI aircraft you want. 

I’ve noticed each time FSLTL injects a new aircraft, it creates a micro stutter in the sim. Every time.

Hey Bob.  I've been looking for this in the FSLTL injector but can't see it.  Can you let me know what option that is?  I've been told in the past that you can't reduce the number of aircraft as FSLTL inject all live aircraft from FllightRadar?  Maybe this has changed though?

Hi Jase, when you are in the sim, you have on the top bar a button to change the FSLTL settings, or when you start the injector as Flic1 said below. As I have my injector starting in silent mode, if I want to make any changes I use the button inside the sim.

When you start the injector, you should get a box that pops up where you can choose different settings such as max IFR aircraft, max # of parked aircraft, etc. 

FSLTL is what I use, and being free is the appeal.  I think the models are good.  It may not be the best overall option, but no way I'm paying 100 dollars a year on AI that'll just get in the way.  MSFS's AI system is buggy anyhow, so I doubt any option works perfectly.  FSLTL has sent some planes on very strange runway overruns, crashes to buildings, and ridiculous flight patterns, but it's good 90% of the time.  I did like this pattern though 😄

Cheers mate!  I'll have a look when I'm on the sim next.

Working on my new traffic injection combo. I'll certainly pull IFR traffic down a bit 😅

You could use FSLTL and set it up to use FS Traffic models.  You could then set it to place parked aircraft only.

Hi Flic1,

Think I got it, thanks!

Thanks,

PSXTraffic runs outside of MSFS and the app itself uses almost no cpu resources.

Once I tested FsTraffic (after purchase) to find that gave me lower fps than PSXTraffic.

Here I use PSXT with AIG ac (first choice) and FsTraffic ac (second choice). AIG use real ac registration codes and FsTraffic does not.
