Flight sims are not supposed to be hilarious. 2 tanker trucks, an suv and a fork lift ahead of me in the queue for a runway crossing /holding point (never receiving clearance of course) is nuts.

Up to developers to have proper vehicle roads in their scenery.

I'd love an option that says "Turn off static and non-static aircraft when connected to an online virtual network" or APIs to turn off static and non-static aircraft, etc.

This is the path, next, very important also or more, separate the option of Real Live air traffics from Real Live ships, please.

You already can in another way. Set air traffic or sea traffic to off in graphics settings for whatever you want to turn off.

If you think you've found a bug or regression, then post it on the beta forum. 

I've already done so.

Cool on the wipers.  You Sir need to quit looking for storms to fly in 😉

 

Another promising update, I’ll give this a try tomorrow as I’m busy (and having too much fun) with the AMS2 update that just landed for Nordschleife + Aston Martin Valkyrie right now. 😀

happy flying campers

Great then if that is already (half for me haha) solved, but not for me still sadly, because if I disable the aircrafts I disable also the Online user aircrafts, and I don´t want that.

So then, they must separate the option from online user aircrafts from real time aircrafts (together to AI offline aircrfats also maybe, if they are tied also to the Real Time aircrafts/online user aircraft).

Another thing that I miss from FS20, is that they should separate the real live weather and don´t tied to the hour of that day without option. I like always to flight at any hour of the day with the real weather data that there is in that place in that moment, though the day historical weather is ok also for who want it.

Probably then, the best is still separate both in the upper General option tab, then online tab like now, like I said in the former post, and split it in Aricraft Traffic Type and Ship Traffic type, I guess.

Tested now and the Real Time online ships with Gaist 7 are working better like the test I did very months ago, a bit of weird mess in the port berths haha but ok, worse to not have nothing. I had Gaist 7 ships in off line with their routes working well since some weeks ago by first time, working well like in FS20, and the online users planes.

Edit: Ah, ok I had AI offline for to have Gaist 7 now, and in graphics the aircrafts ultra to have the online users, though thanks to God, haha, I don´t have AI aircrafts, good, despite the AI offline in options and ultra in aircraft in Graphics, maybe a good bug? haha, I don´t want AI aircrafts nor Real time aircrafts, only online human users aircrafts.

Anyway I am in PC SU2, maybe SU3 is different. Good that they add elemental options to split anyway also, thanks, continue haha.

Distant clouds definitely look a lot better.

Yeah if it's this silly I agree.  That being said it's common irl at medium to smaller airports to have airport vehicles on taxiways and even runways occasionally

True...but they give way to aircraft...mostly.  If they did that, I'd be fine with them but they just drive through the airplane.  Until they sort it out, they should just limit the possibility of encounters.

They forgot to include the new fauna, passive aircraft, and vehicle traffic options in VR.  I made a report at the their forums about it.  And, I say forgot because as usual it's VR so they forgot!  Got Xbox taken care of though!
