Good morning, I have the problem that my PSXTraffic (I use the standalone RealTraffic version with display) is on a different computer in the network than the sim and my add-on airports are on the sim computer on various drives. The automatic detection doesn't work because PSXseeconTraffic quits at launch with the message that it doesn't find the scenery.cfg file under C:\ProgramData which seems logical to me since it is in fact under \\SIMCOMPUTER\\c\ProgramData, but so far I didn't find any parmeter in the parameters file where I can set the path. I would have expected the program to replace all paths relative to the install path of the sim \\LOCAL\ ->  \\SIMCOMPUTER\ but this obviously doesn't happen. If I try to set the paths manually in the parameters file as afolderx = ... I have the problem that my add-on folders are in so many different locations that the only reasonable paths to set are the drives on the simcomputer afolder0 = \\SIMCOMPUTER\c afolder1=\\SIMCOMPUTER\e etc. if I don't want to end up in listing hundreds of paths (I guess 10 paths is the maximum anyway)  and then hope that the program incrementally searches also in every folder whithin the drives (as stated in the manual)  and hope  that this doesn't take too long. But also this doesn't work since the program only finds #thirdp: 19 although I have accumulated hundreds of add-on airports during the last 20 years I have been simming (still using PSX with P3D and not MSFS). So what can I do? Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Please conform to what is written in the Manual at Chapter  2.1

Install at your computer running MSFS/P3D.

The whole design is based on that. If you want to use PSXTraffic you have to adapt. Computers today are so powerful, running PSXTraffic at the Sim computer is no problem at all (< 0.5% cpu load).

Ok, I wasn't aware of that although I read the manual. Must haved skipped this somehow. This is a gamechanger, of course, because I definitely want the Real Traffic radar display but not on the sim computer since this would destroy immersion since it is definitely not an aircraft instrument gauge. Have used this for years now over the network (but only inflight) since you obviously get unrealistiv effects on the ground if PSXTraffic doesn't know the airport layout.

Just connect another small monitor to your Sim Computer and move RealTraffic and PSXTraffic over there, a lot easier and more robust then a networked solution. 

Btw, you don't need the RealTraffic app. Run PSXT_P3D together with LittleNavMap. In LNM you get the traffic that was injected. From the traffic in the RT Radar it is not easy to tell if it will be injected, that depends on your PSXTraffic_P3D settings, and the quality of the data (note that it is a lot easier to show aircraft on a 2D-screen then in "3D space").

 PSXT wouldn't need to know the airport layout at all would it as it is injecting position information straight from the surveillance sources.

Indeed. However, it does need to know the parking positions, so access to the (addon-) airports remains necessary.

Yes absolutely!

 More to the op's question, I find that if you end up being nose to nose with taxiing traffic then it's probably the user that is in the wrong.
