Hi @C0rsten
Is this mod different fom GAmod - offline version (new GA traffic addon)?

6

Yes it is. 2020 version doesent work with MSFS2024 as good is should. So i made changes to models, modelnames, traffic plans .bglĀ“s to make it work with MSFS2024.

With 2020 version, it just didnt inject traffic time to time. I think i did fix it by my changes and edited instruction pdf.

I will add msfs2024 Asobo AI models soon after they lift encryption of those.

You did move this topic. Didnt know it was in wrong place.

There is mention in bottom that topic will automaticly close after 7 days. Why is that?

@C0rsten : My mistake - it was after midnight when I saw your reply. You should not bee seeing the ā€œclosedā€ message at the bottom now.

I installed it. Now game gets stuck once I click fly in world map. Loading never ends. With the mod disabled everything works fine. Any suggestions?

10

Try with air traffic LOW. And try less density area, where there are not big cities around. The loading takes ages if you have ULTRA air traffic in high density are, beause it will load 300-400 aircraft there. And remember to use live time, not adjusted custom time. And make sure you have cleared your cache with the scripts inside of zip.

11

I found that the scripts still use MSFS 2020 paths instead of the limitless ones, right? At least for the MSFS 2020 store scripts.

12

You mean cache removal scripts? MSFS_STORE_VERSION_CACHE_REMOVAL_TOOL_2024_StreamedPackages_inc.vbs? It has msfs2024 paths and 2020 paths also. Both.

For example \AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\ included.

13

Ok, cool. Iā€˜ll check again later in the evening. Thanks

Hello,
I am unable to disable stock traffic.bgl file (store version)..Any help in this regard.
Thank you.

GAmod 2024 - 1.1 version released! https://flightsim.to/file/88965/gamod-2024

Changelog 11.3.2025

KNOWN BUGS EVEN AFTER THIS UPDATE

  • MSFS 2024 has very annoying and agressive LOD system, that occures with MSFS2020 and 3rd party aircraft. Somehow this LOD system is able to remove wheels in close range.

  1. Removed all duplicate flights, so there should not be anymore aircraft following each other close range.

  2. AIRCRAFT TWEAKS: made smallest ga models (C152, DA40, C172) wing span smaller, so they can be injected to airfields with 20ft wide parking spots. Also C172 and DA40 fixed with see through cockpit. Did change wing span of military C295M, C17 and C135F to smaller amount, that they could be injected to US based military bases.

  3. Added new aircraft:Two helicopters, glider (Asobo AI model dg1001) and Hot balloon (existing gamod balloon model). They dont land and park, like in GAmod 2020 version.

  4. added 2 Asobo AI models to add more variety to Bizjet traffic:

    • Asobo PassiveAircraft Praetor 600
    • Asobo PassiveAircraft Citation Latitude

Important notice: There is more AI models by Asobo, that can be used later, but Asobo must config the LOD system more. And official manufactor liveries did work with SU1 beta, but stopped working with official SU1 release. So most of the bizjet models are with blank white liveries. I will push update for more and working liveries when i got it fixed by some method or Asobo does the fix.

  1. recommended: option to disable all the AsoboĀ“s aircraft, that are trying to be injected (airliners, a10 military airplane, hot balloons etc). Just add GAmod2024-DisableAsoboAircrafts to community. Reminder: when disabling Asobo aircraft, you can use REAL TIME ONLINE traffic method and you only would see GA traffic models.

  2. LOW setting was to dense, so all the traffic plans are now optimized that LOW setting is actually very FPS friendly (2 IFR planes/airport, little amount of VFRĀ“s in the are). MEDIUM setting is way more dense. See affect of LOW-HIGH to variety of models injected in bottom ā€œTROUBLESHOOTING/TIPS/SETTINGS GUIDEā€. You may want to use ULTRA with AI flowĀ“s AI cull (culling traffic to what you want). See next section.

  3. Instuctions for AIflow / AIcull:

  • Download AIflow here: https://flightsim.to/file/42731/aiflow
  • open Config_Utility_AIFlowAIGround.exe. Disable all the settings with single click, execpt: Max number of AI aircraft allowed. Put it to amount you need. 120 is great for 4090/5090, 80 is great for 4080/5080, 60 is great foo 4060-5070. Let Quick AI turn Vacate be enabled also.
  • You can also force to cull all the traffic in certain airports with this tool all enabling all the traffic in certain airport. It will first check airport edits until culling rest of the traffic.
  • Max number of AI aircraft allowed is not culling the close range traffic of yours.
  • Press last 8) launch AIflow and wait 10-20 seconds AIflow to hit AI cull. You will see the diffrence in FPS clearly but you have amazing amount of traffic in close range.
  • See AIflow/AIcull in action with GAmod here: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Q4jry_L02_8
  1. GAmod now with 100% FShud combatible!
  • FShud is great companion for MSFS2024 users that want to have more imersive flight experience with better ATC and better AI aircraft handling than stock MSFS2024 AI traffic engine.
  • FShud uses own injector and can read GAmod flightpland and models from community folder. AddonsLinker is not supported, so you must put manually GAmod2024-TrafficForFShud, GAmod2024-DisableAsoboAircrafts and GAmod2024-Models to your community folder.
  • Because FShud uses own injector, it is pretty CPU intensive. So be carefull with FShud traffic intensity settings. See larger instructions in folder 5_OPTIONAL_FSHUD_COMBATIBLE_TRAFFIC_PLANS
  • FShud can be used with hot balloons, gliders and helicopters. And FShud only reads IFR flightplans. Thats why there is separate version of flightplans for FShud in the zip.
  • See FShud + Gamod 2024 in action in same video that linked earlier.
  1. As requested by community, you can also use AIG GA models instead of GAmodĀ“s MSFS 2020 GA models and AsoboPassives (2024). You need to then use folders from ā€œOPTIONAL AIGā€ folder. Like these to community:
  • GAmod2024-DisableAllAsoboAircraftsForAig
  • GAmod2024-AIGtraffic
  • GAmod2024-MilModels (optional)
  • GAmod2024-MilTraffic (optional)
  • aig-aitraffic-effects
  • aig-aitraffic-modelbehavior
  • aig-aitraffic-oci

AIG models perform little bit better than GAmodĀ“s models, but they dont look so good. Either way, you can now choose!

  • AIG models: 510 aircraft = 55fps (+12%), 120 aircraft = 64fps (+3%)
  • GAmod models with Asobopassives: 510 aircraft = 49fps , 120 aircraft = 62fps

Known problems with AIG models:

  • didnt have luck to have all them working. All the working ones is included.
  • AIG models has realistic wing spanĀ“s so they cant be injected to very small airfiels of 20ft wide parking spots.

Used AIG models:

  • PA-28-181 Archer III
  • AICessna 172RG Cutlass
  • Cessna 402C Utiliner
  • Beechcraft King Air C90
  • Cessna F406 Caravan II
  • Beechcraft C99 Airliner
  • Cessna 414A Chancellor
  • Westwind II
  • Jet Hawker 750
  • Hawker 700A
  • Learjet 36
  • Learjet 40XR
  • Bombardier Global 6500
  • Swearingen Metro II
  • Swearingen Metro III

  1. Default stock traffic disable -scripts updated: it will now first delete existing trafficBoats.off and then rename ā€œafter update addedā€ trafficBoats.bgl to trafficBoats.off

  2. made some community wishes: SKSG, EGUN, LIML

TROUBLESHOOTING / TIPS / PREFERRED SETTINGS

  1. MSFS2024 is pretty inconsistent for getting through loading screen. If you have problems to get throug loading screen when selecting airport first:
  • remember to clear MSFS cache with provided tool scripts before launching newest versions of GAmod 2024
  • put AIR TRAFFIC QUALITY to OFF before loading to airport, when in airport, put it to LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/ULTRA after that.
  • Use allways LIVE TIME when entering scenery, you can change it when loaded in aircraft in the aiport/sky.
  1. MSFS2024 has baked AI AIRCRAFT VARIETY to air traffic setting. So:
  • LOW = lowest amount of variety: you will see only 3-4 models injected
  • ULTRA = all the ai models is injected based on traffic plans

SUGGESTION:

  • go to airport with air traffic disabled
  • put air traffic to ULTRA, wait traffic to be injected
  • limit injected traffic with AI flow / Ai cull to amount you want.
  • Enjoy.

As always, thank you very much for your efforts here. Between AIG, FSLTL, and your app, itā€™s a joy to fly with other planes in the sky.

Sometimes though, I still get those hideous stock MSFS planes at airports. Can you share the settings that will make sure those never show? I have both AIG and FSLTL models, and Iā€™ll have your new code downloaded here in a few minutes. Exactly what settings do I need to use to make sure I never see those stock planes again?

EDIT: I didnā€™t notice it until now, but I see the new
GAmod2024-DisableAsoboAircrafts that actually removes the MS default planes. Iā€™ll be loading it in shortly to see what happens.

Thanks!!

Gamod 2024 - version 1.2 is here! But as beta at this stage (SU2 is buggy as hell, that comes to AI traffic).

I would be very pleased, if you provide some feedback about this 1.2 version update, because there might be some glitches. In overall, performance should be lot better vs GAmod 1.1 version.

Download beta here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NDQoJpQ6klRSt5cdlfE_1T8mKTXd_FaR/view?usp=sharing

Here is change log:

KNOWN BUGS EVEN AFTER THIS UPDATE
This version 1.2 doesent work with SU2 beta, because of crucial parking bug affected to GAmod, FSLTL, AIG etc.

1) MSFS 2024 native AI models used!
great selection of Asobo AI models has replaced GAmodĀ“s MSFS2020 models. Only some military models, hot balloon and helicopter are still the same MSFS2020 versions (MSFS2024 and hot balloon doesent move still, just stays still)

Allmost all the used models has official livery, taken from MSFS core by VFS (virtual file system)

All the models are downloaded from VFS and are fully inside of this package. It helps loading models in game faster, because it wont load them from cloud during game play.

Big selection of MSFS AI models were investigated and models with bugs were not used. Bug can be: propellers are not rotating, bad behaving LOD, official liveries doesent work, emissive textures were missing and parts of the model was glowing all the time. Selected models are fully working as should be.

MSFS2024 has hard coded built in LOD system, so there is no way to affect LOD behaviour. This situation can be changed, when Asobo lifts total encryption of core files and models. Until that, we have to deal with agressive LOD changes, but it is still 100% playble now.

Here are the list of MSFS2024 AI models GAmod2024 uses in this update:

GA AIRCRAFTS:
Asobo PassiveAircraft DA42, Asobo PassiveAircraft DA40 TDI, Asobo PassiveAircraft C152, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C207 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft P92, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C185 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft C162, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC6, Asobo PassiveAircraft C152, Asobo PassiveAircraft C177, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C400 Corvalis, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C195 Businessliner, Asobo PassiveAircraft DA62, Asobo PassiveAircraft TBM930, Asobo PassiveAircraft C208, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C207 Passenger, Asobo PassiveAircraft C208, Asobo PassiveAircraft C340, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C404 Passengers, Microsoft PassiveAircraft C408, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC24, Asobo PassiveAircraft C337

BIZJETS:
Asobo PassiveAircraft Praetor 600, Asobo PassiveAircraft Legacy 500, Asobo PassiveAircraft Phenom 100, Asobo PassiveAircraft Citation X, Asobo PassiveAircraft Citation Latitude, Asobo PassiveAircraft PC24, Asobo PassiveAircraft Model 400

MILITARY
GAmod24C135 (tanker), GAmod24C295M (small cargo), GAmod24Reaper, GAmod24C17 (big cargo), Asobo PassiveAircraft FA18E (fighter jet), Asobo PassiveAircraft T38 (fighter jet)

  1. Rebuild of every flightplan .bglĀ“s. There was just so many duplicate flights, so this procedure makes traffic density less dense even with ULTRA traffic quality. Also overhauls flightplans are edited, so there is allways 4 diffrent models used in every aiport in World.

IMPORTANT!
Make GAMod (and AIG, FSLTL, BATC, SayIntentions.AI etc) better and vote these bug-topics/wishlist-topics in MSFS forum:

Include parking at all airports: Include parking at all airports

AI Traffic Propeller not rotating: AI Traffic Propeller not rotating

AI Aircraft trying to park to same spot, kills Performance (SU2 beta): AI Aircrafts trying to park to same spot, kills performance (SU2 bug)

Air Traffic visibility culling kills realism. LOD not respected, graphics logic culls traffic indiscriminately: Air Traffic visibility culling kills realism. LOD not respected, graphics logic culls traffic indiscriminately

very very bad news. There is new bug that results AI aircraft doesent move: SU2 beta (1.4.11.0) taxi path bug, planes wont move!

Please vote everyone!

20

Just to be clear, unlike traffic addons like FSLTL, this will only work if default traffic is turned on? This is a bit of a non-starter for me as I use FSLTL for (mostly IFR) traffic and having the default traffic turned on absolutely kills performance for me.

21

Well GAmod uses FPS friendly Asobo AI models. And you can use only LOW settings with lowest amount of generated GA traffic. And you can still use FSLTL for airliner traffic side by side. But offcourse, too much traffic kills you performance.

22

The Asobo models have been terrible for me, performance-wise, honestly - at least compared to FSLTL. And if I run the default air traffic and FSLTL simultaneously to allow for the GA mod Iā€™ll have airliners running into each other because default and FSLTL traffic wonā€™t be aware of each other.

Iā€™ll still probably check it out and see if I can just use it for sessions where Iā€™m doing mostly GA/VFR flights and not hanging out with the airliners.

23

Thats what I do and it works surprisingly well most of the time. If I fly GA VFR, I use default traffic with gamod for ga traffic and FSLTL for airline traffic. They both interact with the default atc and have their own flightplans and routes so that they wont interfere with each other at all.
