What is everyone's FSLTL traffic settings for mid to low range PCs? What would be a good amount of IFR traffic/parked planes etc for a good mix of stable FPS and active air traffic? 20? 30? Genuinely curious. 

Difficult to say as every PC has different capabilities. I used this procedure to tune mine.

Decide on the minimum FPS that is acceptable to you, e.g., 20.

Set all the traffic sliders in MSFS to zero.

Start a flight with your most complex aircraft at a gate on the busiest airport you're likely to visit.

Check the FPS (using developer mode)

Start FSLTL on default settings and check the FPS.

Restart FSLTL and adjust FSLTL settings until the FPS is above your minimum (if possible), prioritise active/parked aircraft as desired.

Parked aircraft don't seem to have a major it.

I have a pretty good system and keep it at 30 live and 50 parked

So anywhere from 15 to 30 live and 25 to 50 parked would be my guess.

So many variables with MSFS, its different for everyone.

Its hard for me to believe you cant have at least 15 live and 25 parked on any system

I can have 100% parked static aircraft from a huge database of AIG planes without any really significant performance hit.....and that is on an i5 7600K @ 4.5Ghz/32GB DDR4-3600 RAM/6GB Nvidia GTX 980Ti powered PC running at 1080p resolution.

When I had the 5600X, I used to have 70-100 parked aircraft + just 8-20 active. As long as I used PF3 for ATC, I could easily keep 34 FPS (back when there was no FG). Any other ATC that lets MSFS handle AI (i.e., anything but FSHud) will give similar results.

When you say 50 parked, are you referring to the historical airline slide 1 - 10? I'm pretty new FSLTL to be honest.

My specs are a RTX 3060 6GB I7-12700h processor and 32GB ram with MSFS installed on my normal 1TB HDD drive, how would that handle? 

I have a high end (maybe more med-high now lol) and I only run like 20 planes max... FSLTL is really cool but demanding on the CPU imo

CPU appears to be a good one. GPU too (I assume you're flying in 1440p or 1080p). HDD...if you can afford it, you'll gain a lot by upgrading to SSD. Even a cheap one will do wonders.
