Thank you so much @Corsten I appreciate your responses and help!

I love @vbazillio's Placerville airport. It's my favourite in the sim, mostly because I am a huge fan of the Skywagon University YouTube channel.

Look forward to trying this update.

https://flightsim.to/file/88965/gamod-2024   version 1.5 released!

Changelog 16.10.2025

With help of Littlenavmap´s dev Alexander Barthel, i was manage to tackle the performance kill bug (tries to inject model to same parking spot). So here we are: GAmod 2024 version 1.6 in now online: https://flightsim.to/addon/88965/gamod-2024

Changelog 3.5.2026

* this version is 100% SU5 combatible.
* parking bug (performance kill) is now overrided by fixes on GAmod2024 flightplans. Many thanks to Littlenavmap´s dev Alexander Barthel to guide me to have information about airports with 0,1 or 2 parking spots. Now those airports doesent have flightplans exeeding the parking spot amount. When asobo fixes the bug, original flightplans will be added again to the pack.
* I have added more traffic with airports that had only one flight, but 4 or more parking spots.
* special traffic has temporaly removed from the GAmod pack, because modelmatching doesent work at all. With current SU5, it is injecting hot balloons to the airports and helicopters move in airport like airplane. Special traffic will be again included after Asobo fixes the modelmatching bug. I you want to continue using Special Models and Special traffic, do not delete those from previous version. But it is highly recodemmend not to use special traffic at the moment.
* Remember to download and install MSFS AI models updates from MSFS2024 marketplace/Content manager, they have been updated for su5. This is the case, if you arent streaming those and have downloaded them. GAmod 2024 works better and models load faster, if the MSFS AI models has been dowloaded and installed in content manager.
* Remember, GAMod 2024 doesent work, if you dont follow Quick_step_tutorial_for_GAmod2024.txt as for using Corsten´s Content disabler.

 

KNOWN BUGS IN MSFS 2024
- There is still crucial parking bug affected to GAmod in SU5 ( https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ai-aircrafts-trying-to-park-to-same-spot-kills-performance-su2-bug/713827/14  please vote) but this bug is tackled by GAMod latest update, but still there might be some airports in the world with this bug affected.

- MSFS 2024 has very bad model matching, basicly it doesent have modelmatching atm. Please vote here https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/modelmatching-is-broken-with-ai-offline-traffic-custom-bgl-s/744922 

Does this update still have the FSHud version?

Yes!

Corsten, after hours of attempts, GAMod2024 now works perfectly for me! (and I suspect for other MS Store users).

The issue was resolved when you added the ability for the user to browse to their correctly located Content.xml file, within your OneClick Disabler.

I now have lots of beautiful GA traffic within 2024 and couldn't be happier.

Thanks so much for making this Corsten!

I noticed that bug yesterday with planes loading in on top of each other, was kinda funny. 

I need to take a closer look, but I was put off by random military jets and aircraft far too big appearing at smaller airfields. Is there a way to avoid that? A setting perhaps? Thanks

Do not use Military Mod with GAmod! And follow the Quick_step_tutorial_for_GAmod2024.txt in that zip. If you dont do the needed procedures with content disabler tool, there will be serious modelmatching problems. And make sure, your flyable 3rd party aircrafts doesent have islivetraffic=1 in aircraft.cfg.... otherwise those are also used by GAmod and we dont want it (makes performance bad).

GA aircrafts used by Gamod has wing span´s and they are not able to park wherever. If you have that kind a behaviour, you have big planes enabled. There is this bug we need to be fixed so these things wont happen, please vote: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/modelmatching-is-broken-with-ai-offline-traffic-custom-bgl-s/744922 

Ok thanks, thing is I'd like to still see military aircraft in the skies though hence the want to use that part of the mod.

We have to wait Asobo to fix model matching. When they fix it, you can combine GAmod and Militarymod and use them same time.

Ok cool thanks, don't think I'll hold much hope of that happening anytime soon though!

Well they allready did make multiplayer modelmatching better. Maeby they are fixing more AI traffic stuff, because AI OFFLINE is currenlty labelled "experimental".

Somethings broken, I followed the instructions but not seeing any GA at all, did the proper disabling/enabling and setup MSFS2024 correctly but nothing in LNM/game with GA in the air. Noticed others have had this issue on flightsim.to, will investigate some more another time.

I'd been trying to get this working for a year.... literally around 6 hours solid - that's how desperate I was to get some GA AI traffic.

I finally got it working today.

Are you using the very latest version of Corsten's One Click Disabler?   Because it was that tool that was messing things up for me all along.

The latest version of it lets you browse to the correct location of your Content.xml file.  In the past, the oneclick disabler tool was rendering a modified Content.xml in the wrong location for MS Store users.

So on opening the new version of the OneClick Disabler:-

https://flightsim.to/addon/94422/corsten-s-one-click-content-disabler-content-xml

Extract the "UI" version from the zip, open the folder and run the EXE.   Then, hit browse and browse to your Content.xml.    For MS Store users it's now in:-

C:\Users\[YOUR USER ID]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\

LocalCache\[Your XBOX ID

The Oneclick Disabler will show Found in green text, if the content.xml file was there.

For Steam users, sorry I haven't a clue where the Content.xml file is.  Perhaps in the same place? Or maybe not.

 

 

Yeah latest version, placed in the dir worth the content.xml which appears to be working correctly.

Hmm, it never worked for me when placing it in the directory with the Content.xml in.

Read my advice again above on the OneClick Disabler.  Try not putting it into any MSFS directory and instead, leave it's folder on the Desktop.  Just launch the EXE and Browse to your Content.xml.

As above, after a year of it not working for me, this is what got it working.
