Traffic display delay

[DinoBNE 0]

Hello there. 
 

I'm currently getting a total of about 45 seconds of delay from what I see on fr24 to what is displayed in the sim from RealTraffic data. 
 

Is there a way to force the buffer currently set at 30 seconds to 5 or 10? 
 

If not is there another way to display RealTraffic in MSFS with less of a delay?

 

Regards

Dino

Even flightradar24 has a 20 to 30 second delay... I think it is reasonable, since data has to be collected and parsed. Same with youtube 'live' there is up to a minute delay, if you watch anything online 'live' it is never live.... It would be nice, it is just a technical limitation....

Indeed.

No there is not. For some airports with superb ads-b coverage 15 seconds would be a possibility, but at other airports it would lead to more aircraft temporary disappearing.

That's why 30 seconds is a nice compromise, based on 8 years of experience with PSXTraffic.
