Where has the Real Traffic license code gone?
I don't believe you get license codes anymore, but you can create an API token instead. PSXT works with these tokens.

No live traffic - RT down?
I had the same issue with PSXT in "RT Direct" mode. Switching to "RT App" and using the RealTraffic app solved that for me.

Cargo airline matching without registration
Sorry, I wasn't clear: I'm putting them in a text file for them not to be used (and I compared the LiveriesScanned.xml before and after I put the liveries that I didn't want to be used in the text file, and that worked). Now I only have generic liveries for airline ZZZ.

Cargo airline matching without registration
Perfect, thanks! And now that I think of it, I can improve my chances of getting an actual generic livery by creating a text file in "my regcodes" and putting a lot of the stub liveries in there without a registration code.

Cargo airline matching without registration
Looking through my log file, I noticed something about the matching when it comes to cargo flights where the registration is not showing. Here is part of the log file: I have liveries for these cargo aircraft. Here is a part of the LiveriesScanned.xml (sorted in the same way as the log file): What seems to be happening, is that when the registration is missing, PSXT looks for a non-cargo livery, but can't find one (because these are cargo airilines) and therefore picks a non-cargo ZZZ livery. Is there anything I can do to make it pick a cargo livery?

PSXT Live Traffic Injection logic
It's an old topic, but the problem might have returned (in version 14.5.0 it selects MA17 when parked at gate A21). Slewing solved it though.

Automatic Updates feature is gone?
Now that you mentioned it, I realised that I'm stil running 11.0.1. Looking through the log file, I noticed this entry: "GetDlgItem failed for ID 32853" between my parameters. Just checked it, and it's also in yesterday's log file and the day before yesterday's log file. Parameters section of today's log file:

Airbus (Fenix) Unexpected Descent Behavior
I don't believe the distance to the TOD is the issue, but the distance to the airport: I've seen this happen with the Fenix on two STARs where the TOD is quite early (LENDY8 into KJFK and ROBUC3 into KBOS).

Received 600 MB Update (21/02/25)
- PMDG 777-300ER and Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
No issues here with the Anniversary update. Just had to register the 777 again.- Historic timetable
The normal cruising speed of the Constellation was about 280 knots, according to what I can find. Also, the planned duration includes taxi times.- Historic timetable
According to the legend, flights PA130 and PA131 were flown with the Lockheed Constellation and the others with the DC-4. Also, the times are local times according to page 17 and 18 of the timetable. Time in New York is GMT-5 and time in Bermuda is GMT-4. Keeping that in mind, you get the following result. Planned duration of the direct flight from New York to Bermuda DC-4: 4h05m Constellation: 3h15m Planned duration of the direct flight from Bermuda to New York DC-4: 4h35m Constellation: 3h50m- ATC FPL
I think it's IFP/MODESASP. According to the following quote this is automatically added to the flightplan by Eurocontrol's Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System: Source: page 18 of https://www.eurocontrol.int/sites/default/files/article/content/documents/nm/flight-planning/icao-2012/icao-2012-fpl-2012-urd-latest.pdf- Jeppesen Chart - Approaches.
You're right according to this remark on the Lido chart: Rwy 04L: E arrivals Rwy 04R: A arrivals Rwy 12: B arrivals Rwy 22L: F arrivals Rwy 22R: C arrivals Rwy 30: D arrivals Therefore, the arrival should have been the ALM1F to ULTIS. There is also a remark on the chart though that, traffic permitting, direct routing to ABEGI, ADOVI, LAMOX, and ULTIS for rwy 22L/R may occur. If flying offline or with no ATC on VATSIM, I would probably go from ALM direct to ADOVI, and then LAMOX to intercept the ILS.- How to identify the correct gates used by specific airline at airports ?
www.flightstats.com provides the departure gate (and sometimes also the arrival gate) for a lot of airports, including airports outside the US. I just tried it with flights departing from Amsterdam, Beijing and Hong Kong.- FMC calculated takeoff speeds
A headwind shortens the stopping distance in case of a rejected takeoff. Therefore, V1 is lower when there's a headwind. At least, that's how I always understood it. Others will correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: Some info from the FAA: P. 25 of https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/training/media/takeoff_safety.pdf- Takeoff Performance Data - What's Everyone Using?
I have TOPER for the 777. It allows fixed derates. You can select TO, TO1 or TO2.- Data link "No comm"
Thanks for the info! Makes sense now. I was trying to use ETOPS180, but that didn't work out in PFPX, so I switched to ETOPS207. The flight plan was a RW flight plan I found on http://www.edi-gla.co.uk/ Route: N0493F330 DAVMO Y601 GABKO Q4 ASMET/N0485F350 Q4 RIKOP/K0891F350 B114 ASB B434 MAXAT A370 URG A299 OSGAN/K0883F360 A299 TINRI/K0887F370 G359 BELEG/K0890F360 G359 ADERA/K0886F380 G359 ABERI/M083F380 85N118W 80N123W 75N124W/M083F390 70N123W 65N122W/N0470F390 60N121W YXJ J534 STAHL/N0471F410 J534 YWL/N0473F400 T618 YYJ/1353 Enroute alternates were UBBB, ENBO, PAFA and CYEG.- Data link "No comm"
On my flight from OMDB to KSEA I tried to request wind data on the ROUTE DATA page, but "DATA LINK NO COMM" was displayed on the ROUTE DATA page. According to FCOM2 11.34.3 the status message "NO COMM" occurs when - the VHF and SATCOM data radios are operational but not available - the VHF data radio has failed and the SATCOM data radio is not available, or - the SATCOM data radio has failed and the VHF data radio is not available. As I attempted to request wind data between 85N18 and 80N23, my assumption would be that VHF data radio nor SATCOM data radio is available above a certain latitude. Is that correct?- METAR string decoding

Runway 25 Wet or wet patches, 51 to 100% of runway covered Depth of deposit not measurable Braking action medium-good- 777-300ER performance/fuel question
- PMDG 737NGX and 3.1 Update
I know it's probably a stupid question, but did you remove the chocks?- Freeze on wind entry
I don't believe there is anything you can do to undo it. On my flight this evening the panels, the FMCs and the PFDs froze. I wasn't entering wind data at the time (did that before t/o), but it may have had something to do with wind data: right before the freeze the estimated fuel at destination dropped to a much lower number and the Using RSV fuel message appeared. That seems consistent with the tailwinds I entered suddenly disappearing. I tried for 10 minutes to solve the issue, but as a result all my FSUIPC autosaves were corrupt as well.- Fuel at Destination prediction
That difference doesn't matter if you just load the ZFW calculated by PFPX as the ZFW on the Payload page of the FMC. - PMDG 777-300ER and Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
