    1) maybe the developer can answer this

    2) only when the app is active (cloud quality, TLOD, OLOD)

    3) just run the installer and there’s an option to uninstall which removes everything

    Thanks for the comment!

    thanks shall give it a try then......

    1)so assume if you uninstall it all reverts back to your original PC and VR settings?

    2)As I use VR and sometimes 2d are there separate profiles for each?

  2. Posted

    just about to give this a try (fly in VR with the crystal and also in 2d) and had some questions:

    1)just wondering if there are any material differences between this and smooth flight?

    2)will it change any of your actual PC and VR graphics settings - or will these remain unchanged in sim?

    3)if you decide not to use is it it easy to unistall or do you simply not run it before starting MSFS?

    This has nothing to do with your Traffic license. You are running an old version. Go to my website an download the latest (6.1.4 at the moment)

    About RT licences, a licence for a year is 50% cheaper. You can read that at the RT website...

     

    thanks for the reply! - so does the old version stop functioning when there is a new version available? 

    1)so have just downloaded 6.1.4 (my installed version is 5.5.1) - so is it just a case of installing over the top of the existing install and it will work again - or do I need to uninstall the old one first? 

    2)in terms of the licences pretty sure I bought the 24 day as a trial but want the 12months now - but  if I check the realtraffic website its showing the standard licence as a 25% discount to monthly - where can I get the option that saves 50%?

    3)in terms of the realtraffic licence expiring will there be a warning in PSXT when its expired or an email from realtraffic (basically how can I check how many days I have left?) and if I purchase the 12 month licence do I simply swap out the licence key in my config file to start using the longer licence?

    thanks for the all the support😀

    has been running flawlessly (only grip is no traffic at the old kai tak airport😉)

    however today PSXT wouldn't load up - gives me the error "98:this version has been reverted download version 0.0.0 "?

    suspect this might be because my traffic licence has expired (only took 1 month) - if yes what is the best way to renew and getting it working again? (note going to be using this regularly so assume there is a year option that is maybe better value than the 1 year?)

    1 Yes, and be aware you have to make these fixes after every install of a new PSXT version, hence you better make a batch file for that.

    2 No, use the AIG AI Manager, everything goes automatically. You can set it up such that no user intervention is needed. .

    3 I don't know. Maybe others can jump in

    thanks for the replies!

    1)So ini heathrow is working very well now - only issue I have noticed is planes landing short - assume this could be a QH issue and you need live weather set for it all to work?

    2)Have many market place airports (lost track of how many!) - is there someway in MSFS to list/sort these purchases so I know what airports need replaced?(I assume also any airports installed in the community folder should be picked up my PSXT and no adjustment for these is necessary?)

    3)In the ini heathrow case where it was detecting only  the asobo heathrow does this break PSXT or just mean parking spots are incorrect?

    4)For AIG aircraft install - assume you just run the "AI manager" program and it will simply download the aircraft and liveries into the community folder which PSXT then picks up?(running just the AIG AI manager will not mess anything else up in the sim or settings) - then with this assume you should get military traffic but only if their picked up my real traffic?

    5)Finally if I just run a small GA airfield in the UK for example with only FSLTL aircraft - am I likely to get any traffic (assume I will but only if the type (such as a  cessna172) is included in FSLTL or in the in sim aircraft library?

    UPDATED Update Instructions:

    Yesterday I responded to Mac44's request on how to update the Lear 35A. As a result of the (FALSE Positive) Defender warnings, they have changed the process at least for now. Rather than identify the differences, I will start over here with new instructions on updating the file. Please note that I have NO association with the developer, I was simply attempting to answer a fellow users question yesterday, and feel I should update that previous answer with the current correct information...

    Updated update directions:

    You want to go into your Flysimware account, and select "Order History and Downloads". On the right side of the purchase click the Details/Downloads link. When the Order Details page opens scroll down to "Order Details", where you will see ">> Download Information", and below that you will see  "Start Download", Download Info", "Contact Page", and "Learjet 35A MSFS". To the right of the "Learjet 35A MSFS" you will see a note specifying the current file level. Right now it says "Current product Version V1.1.8 / JAN-31-2024"

    If this is newer than your current version, re-download the file by clicking the teal colored link in the product window just below.

    The zip file will contain a folder named "flysimware-learjet-35a". This is the complete Learjet 35A product. If you had previously installed an earlier version, go into your Community folder and manually delete the earlier version. After deleting any prior versions, paste the "flysimware-learjet-35a" folder in your Community folder. That's all there is to it. This manual method replaces the previous automated installer.

    thanks - just to clarify!

    1)there is not way to make these updates automated?

    2)essentially for the newest version its reverted to a manual process with no installer (which I understand) - but for me with an older version of the learjet can I just remove the learjet file from the community folder or should I find and delete using the add/remove programs? (before manually dropping in the new file into the community folder?)

    2) no there is no auto renew.

    3)Don't understand your question.

    4) Installing AIG goes automatically, without user intervention needed, takes about 4 to 5 hours. It will give you many more models and liveries then FSLTL and FSTraffic together. They are also more fps friendly then the FSLTL models.

    5)  ... like I wrote in my previous post : archive\airports\stock\EGLL.xml 

    about : "2 airports in TBLO folder", read the Quick Start guide, page 2.

    about: settings, see the Quick Start Guide: go for the default settings first. 

    thanks - got it working - and the ini fix is required to get traffic working properly in my heathrow......

    1)assume I need to do the fix for any payware airport I have purchased from the market place?

    2)may give AIG a try then is there a single file I need to download for this or will I have to go through the "install" process - which I think involves the aircraft and then installing the liveries separately?

    3)also just to be clear guess that AIG gives military and GA aircraft but would FSLTL+FS Traffic?

    Just got this one (and seen a few updates recently)

    1)is there any kind of autoupdater for this aircraft?

    2)If not what is the best way to update it - do you need to manually remove the old version each time or can you just update over the top?

    2) With a standard license you will always get the traffic of the real time, irrespective what you do in your Sim.

    3)  You van run the RealTraffic app unconnected in observer mode and select an airport.

    4) You van use both FSLTL and FSTraffic, no  problem. See manual Chapter 5.  Althoiugh I recommend to use AIG.

    5) These are probably from the payware airport, not from PSXT.     Yes ityis not operational, are there not houses at that place currently?

    Heathrow: never buy an aiport from the market place because they are encrypted. PSXT cannpot read the .BGL file for the positions of the gates, that's why you get the stock vertsion.
    However, you van fix that with this work around. Place the archive\airports\thirdparty\INIBUILDS\EGLL.xml over archive\airports\stock\EGLL.xml    (overwrite)

     

    thanks for the replies

    2)so to be clear with the standard licence it does not matter what day you select you just get the live traffic at that moment (so better to fly when the airport is actually active?) - for the professional licence if i select a date/time in early january 2024 it will give me the traffic at exactly that time (only up to 4 weeks are recorded) - for PSXT to function assume you need to keep renewing your realtraffic licence or buy a 12months option? (is there any autorenew option for the licence?) 

    3)ok will run the app unconnected - so guess this is a way to check if psxt ingame is working as with the standard licence MSFS should mirror realtraffic?

    4)dont like AIG (to long to set up so not sure I want to use) - but with just FSLTL are you getting GA and military aircraft? - also is there any point dropping my FStraffic aircraft into the community folder to run along with the FSLTL aircraft or does this not add anything?

    5)for the heathrow fix where do I get the ini egll.xml file to drop in?(assume I overrise the airports stock folder in the main install folder)

    also final couple of questions - getting a yellow message in the airports section of the GUI the message is "2 airports in TB folder" what does this mean? and do you have some suggested settings for things like aircraft matching depth and parking % that are good for the average user or should you just stick with default settings?

    2) [Professional RT license only] It takes the traffic of the date in the sim (but no longer then 4 weeks ago) and the weather for that historic traffic is of course the weather at that historic data, however, the weather in your Sim is the actual weather because MSFS does not support historic weather.

    3) The RealTraffic app works with PSXTraffic not with PSXT.  Then you must install PSXTraffic and the RealTraffic app, although not recommended, you loose LearnDestinationm and other improvements that are only provided by PSXT. You better watch the traffic with the LittleNavMap program.

    4) PSXT is the version for MSFS. Because it is the most used version I have skipped the suffix _MSFS.  Only for P3D you need the suffix _P3D. 
    From the Manual: "PSXT spawns business jets, large, and heavy types of live aircraft. Ground vehicles, Gliders, Airships and Balloons are not spawn.
    If you have these liveries installed it will also spawn light aircraft (GA), high-performance aircraft (F16, F35 and so on) and helicopters. You can switch these categories off via hidden parameters in the parameters.xml file."

    5) There are no aircraft flying to/from the old  kai tak airport .... so no that's not possible. You can ofcourse always edit the airport file, generated by PSXT (if you have the KaiTak airport installed, and have add the airport to airports_msfs.xml), with static parked aircraft by hand.

    "also my INIbuilds Heathrow is appearing on the app as only having refine paper "   Sorry, do not understand, what do you mean?

    thanks some additional points below

    2)I just have the normal licence - so does this mean irrespective of the sim date selected (today or 2 weeks ago) - will always get the traffic (aircraft movements)at say heathrow right now (live!) - or have I misunderstood? (i.e. if I log on at 2am today and load PSXT it will give no aircraft as airport is virtually closed - or if I change the time it will make the airport active)

    3)Understood - so your advice is just stick with the latest version and use littlenav map? (out of interest is it not possible to run the real traffic app unconnected to PSXT) just to see the traffic around a particular airport that should be appearing?

    4)on the GA/military question I am using FSLTL for the aircraft (although I also have a paid copy of FS Traffic thats not installed) - does this mean I will see GA military with only FSLTL or if I add the FS Traffic aircraft?

    5)Actually with my payware Kai Tak get a handful of static period aircraft already - think you are saying its not possible to get AI moving traffic at the airport as its not operational?

    in terms of the ini heathrow payware airport point was that in PSXT its being picked up as the default heathrow but when I fly from ini JFK it picks it up as a payware ini airport - does this mean something is wrong? (note I have my official and community folder on a different drive which I pointed PSXT towards - but I bought INI heathrow in the marketplace no idea if this make any difference)

    thanks for the reply read chapter 5 and found my parameter file but still don't no how to solve the issue (also tried a reinstall)

    my screen looks like nothing is connecting (everything in red with the error 53 along the bottom!

    however 

    1)found the realtraffic.lic file in the main install - put the licence in 

    2)also in the main app page - in the community folder extension it does not give a link to my community folder (- however when I try and click on the extension and enter mine it does not let me edit!?

    3)finally found the paraeters.xmp file but there is no reference to this

    "lfolder1 with a link to my fsltl file? also there is a reference to "msfs install path" which directs the program to the C drive packages file and not community file?

    any suggestions on what I need to do/change to get this working...

     

    update

    1)so went into the parameter.xml and my setup has the official and community folder on a separate folder from the main install folder - so pointed this community folder box to my F drive and it seemed to pick up the liveries and airports - was then able to get it running (i think)?

    2)In terms of the weather (know you have to make it live) but will the date need to be live also - does it only select the current live traffic at airport at the current time even if the date you select in sim was say 2000?

    3)want to run the real traffic app (just to monitor the traffic) and know its not required but how can I install it and have it working with the current version of PSXT?

    4)saw in the older version of PSXT there was GA aircraft box and an airport file (xml) box - my latest version has neither of these boxes and also has along the top simply "PSXT" with no MSFS prefix - is this how it should work?

    5)Finally is it possible to have a "traffic" file made for the old kai tak airport? (currently no software file exists) also my INIbuilds Heathrow is appearing on the app as only having refine paper

    Yes and yes

    But if I load all of the areas together along with my other addons, I reach the msfs object limit and the sim crashes.

    It may be fine to use them all if you don't have many other addons (I just have W Europe and N America normally).

    One thing I have noticed is that GAIST seems to increase my loading times quite a bit, but that's not really either surprising or a problem for me.

    ok got it - so are you only installing the regions you fly into the community folder?

    Wakes are implemented. Can't comment on superiority, but can say that it is a remarkable undertaking and achievement that keeps getting better.

    It's free so you have nothing to loose other than 10 minutes getting it up and running.

    thanks shall give it a try then!

    in terms of the install and the uninstall process assume its adding/removing folders from the community folder?

    also can it be run with the seafront pay ware?

    just gave the black square baron a try and liking it so far - but found on a few of my take off runs found my engines were losing power (unable to get airborne) despite the fact my levers (throttle and mixture) were fully forward - any ideas what might be causing this? (note my previous experience is all single engine GA so am sure it will be something I have not set up correctly : )

    I managed to add VHHX to a number of data files and can create flight plans and schedules for VHHX. However I've yet to see any traffic spawn there at the alloted times. I've tried both with the Microsoft and Redwing versions of the airport.

    thanks for giving it a try - when you say at the alloted time do you mean you got some random traffic or nothing at all?

    seems if your running the payware version of the airport it might work with AIG(which I have kept installed) so might also give it a try (there appears to be the required file as part of the freeware.....

    same  as  before  should be  a  short  cut  on  your  desk  top  when  you updated  it,  it just a different  gui  but  still same  function as  before, if  its  not  there  go to your  commnuity folder  under  folder fstraffic control centre/data/traffic control centre scroll down till you see  the  control exe  and  make  a short  cut  to your  desktop

    thanks -managed to find the .exe (it had not created anything on my desktop) 

    seem to remember there was a slider to reduce % of traffic being generated can't find that option (might be confusing packages though) - finding at some of the bigger airports KSEA it can take around 5-10 minutes for things to start moving is this normal or can you tweak something to speed up population and does moving the texture detail give a good boost in fps?

    finally anyone have any idea how to get this working with the old Kai Tak airport?

    just updated and tried the latest version of FS Traffic - so have some questions:

    1)noticed their seems to be a "new?" controller program added - how can you bring this up? (seem to have the file for it in my community folder already) - also noticed some of the options from the first version are gone from the main in game pop up (seee to remember a traffic density) assume these are in the controller program?

    2)also using the Asobo version of the old Kai Tak airport realise its not longer operating but is there anyway to get FS Traffic to spawn traffic into it? (currently mine is completely empty without even any static aircraft)

  24. Posted

    just about to try XP12 (understand there is a separate XP12 version) -so could anyone please provide the link to the base XP12 version?

    also I understand from all of the above comments there is no single direct download for the latest version(?) - so assume I will need to install some patches over the top over this base version?(assuming there is no updater that your could run 🙂
