Just Flight - FSTraffic

Still missing some very basic functions

I noticed that the departing airplanes never dissapear as they move far away. For example, I was in Denver airport. An Alaska Airlines departed before me to Anchorage and I departed to Kansas City. When I arrived to Kansas City I used the AIG map tool and I saw in the map the Alaska Airlines in its way to Anchorage and many many many other airplines that departed from Denver…. they never dissapear in the distance no matter how far they are…. and Im afraid this is affecting the performance.

If it does affect performance, it will be so miniscule that you won’t notice. The aircraft will be at their most basic LODs, if they’re even visible at all. I’d be far more concerned about their performance at a detailed airport than when they’re over default terrain, miles away from you. I honestly wouldn’t worry about it.

Thank you, make sense what you say :slightly_smiling_face:

Sayintentions also requires Simbrief for IFR flight. Simbrief is a piece of cake once you’re used to it, and actually very useful.

For me, FS TRAFFIC is not so useful on MSFS 2024 SU3, although I totally reinstalled the sim: very often (not always), no traffic is visible, neither on the ground in the airports. It is happening only after SU3; it was good before.

Does anybody know if FSTraffic 1.08 has been pushed to the insim Marketplace ? Would be nice to have the MSFS2024 fixes as well especially after SU3 - but after reading the previous post, maybe wait for the next version…

Ever since I installed FST for FS2024 (into SU2), I have to immediately restart a flight after load-in to get traffic to show. Never appears first time.

Sorry to say, I just recommend a different package at this point. I use FSHub’s injected traffic. It’s excellent. Go with that.

I think it will still suffer the ‘no landing’ phenomenon, though, as that’s an inherent issue with the sim. Only SI and BATC can change physical behaviour because they replace the sim’s ATC.

And, again, FSHud replaces the ATC as well.

Ah, I didn’t know that. I’ll have to investigate…

Hard to find exact information on FSHud’s website — is it VFR-compatible or just IFR?

FSHud can fully replace in-sim ATC and manage AI traffic from FSLTL, AIG, FS Traffic & BGL. It’s primarily aimed at IFR. I’ve been using it for a few weeks across Europe and I’m very happy with it. For VFR, I usually just take a Cessna and go—no ATC needed. If you prefer more structure, you can file a low-level IFR route, or simply file for departure and then again before the approach (visual approaches are supported).

Thanks. Since SayIntentions is a subscription, I have to decide between FSHud and BATC. Presumably both have advantages and disadvantages?

If your priority is believable traffic behavior for IFR, FSHud will likely suit you better.

Hello guys!
I was using both, in the beginning I like voices in BATC, but I didn’t like traffic behavior, vectoring.
And also delays in answer from ATC, then some free accents really was bad… (I fly over Italy).
So I went back to FSHud! Perfect traffic control, I like that I can use any models that I want! And predictable commands that comply with EASA IFR.
And yes, also it’s cool that FSHud have build in MSFS, so no additional windows, like BATC have one window for ATC, another program for traffic…

Yes, all of this. This post basically nails the advantages of FSHud. The voices aren’t as advanced as BATC, but they’re perfectly adquate and IMHO the traffic control and injection matters far more.

Also, I’ll add that the dev is incredibly involved and responsive on the FSHud Discord and the product is constantly being improved.

I do want to add, though, that we’re living in a pretty magical time of having not one, but three great products in this ATC/Injection space. Any user can be perfectly happy and content with any one of them, but for some of us crazies who own multiple or all of them, some of us have obviously landed at FSHud, a kind of countercultural choice as it doesn’t get the press of BATC or SI. But there’s really no bad choice here and we’re talking variations of degrees of excellence. Great stuff.

where is the justflight-aircraft-traffic-fleet folder

my download only shows control centre and module

The traffic will be a very large folder in your msfs community folder. It should be 45gb or so if my memory is correct. You have to install it after the download from just flight so if you haven’t done that follow their instructions and the traffic will be uncompressed and installed in the msfs community folder.
