Live Traffic with working Liveries!

Yes, still don’t have it working with Live Traffic, only as dum*y parked planes.

When installing FLAI ask for the root folder (main folder). What did you choose?

I’ll definitely look in to this. Maybe V3?

You must not have looked at the planes because they have flight numbers lol

First pics in post are EGLL but will do when I’m back from gym.

I’m gonna install FLAI with the flightplans from Alpha India Group and some textures from various developers. Fingers crossed

DM me on your progress. Will try the same after i get this zip file out to everybody.

I choose P3D3 v5 and a random folder.

What is Pv3?? What do you mean with ramdon folder. Just one folder is needed right?

Oops, sorry, meant P3D v5 Yes make a new folder, put it in there.

Hmm thats weird if you install the content im your P3D folder and still see planes appear in msfs. Isn’t it better to download it in the community folder? I need to know this before I start downloading, from my experience with P3D it will take about an hour to download. Sorry for all the questions😜

I bet the FLAI team is working on this too… To make it work with Vatsim.

They are indeed. This is from their FAQ on their website.

Is FLAi compatible with the new Microsoft Flight Simulator?
At this time, FLAi is not compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). We do not anticipate being able to offer compatibility until the third-party model and livery development community is able to offer MSFS-compatible models.

I first downloaded it to a separate folder to edit it. Then I copy the edited planes to Community\FLAI\SimObject\Airplanes
I wouldn’t put the whole download at once in Community.

Okay thanks ! Will dive into it later on when I finish work

Yes, maybe better to wait for the FLAI release for MSFS. But it’s nice to test things this way and try to get it to work. The models do show up in MSFS, so that works. But still didn’t get it to work yet as Live Traffic.

I’ll check it out. Had an nice experience in P3d with importing the models using AIFP and some textures

There appears to be a limitation in the sim currently where the plane type is duplicated depending on the airline chosen. Example:

  1. BAW plane not spawned yet.
  2. BAW Plane selected to spawn
  3. BAW Plane chosen with best selected model (lets say B787)
  4. Another BAW flight spawns aircraft is a (a319)
  5. Another BAW B787 spawns
  6. Alitalia A319 selected to spawn
  7. Alitalia A319 is chosen correctly.

Just a minor gripe but it appears to be a limitation. Also live traffic is no where near real time and not nearly as many flights as real life…

EDIT: I’m also seeing this for other flights where the incorrect model is chosen. TAPA320 was replaced by an identical AZAA319. This appears to be something on Asobo’s end in terms of how they render traffic.

I will try to import FLAI models with the AIG flightplans and textures with AIFP converter tonight. I’ll let you know what the results are.

Please keep me posted. Most likely I can help you get them to fly and we can go with those models if all works out!
