I need cover myself (CYA) but I must reiterate I am not an MS-Asobo employee and do not in any capacity represent them. I am an end-user/customer just like yourself. As a volunteer, I serve at the pleasure of the Community Managers.
My motivation here is like everyone else, I want the sim to work and be the best it can be.
when i read XBox app and gaming services here i can puke. steam players don’t have that. And it has probably 70% MSFS bought in steam. fix the dirt and good!!!
There are Steam users affected here - I am one of them. And the Zendesk technical notes do indicate that we should have XBox and Gaming Services installed and updated. This issue, whatever it is, seems to extend across all players regardless of the Game Store you purchased the sim from.
Steam and non Steam users have the problem with live traffic. must come from somewhere… I don’t have any Xboxapp or gaming service on my PC. i don’t use the stupid windows store. just fix the bugged simulator and good to go
No live traffic here.
no ai traffic.
And all model that worked for prepar3d and fsx are causing CTD after SU5.
Before, at least, we codl see them taxiing.
I think it’s also important to note there has been no departing LIVE TRAFFIC since SU5! Here in Texas there has been no LIVE TRAFFIC since Thursday. This is very frustrating but again…I thank you for your help.
Thanks for the tip, but it is already f****ing ridiculous how many hoops we now have to jump through just to update the sim and now even more to get it to run properly.
The question of AI Traffic in MSFS appears to be a very low priority for some reason. Up to update 5 I had pretty good traffic both live and offline with a couple of mods that worked OK.
Was really looking forward to Simple Traffic until that got demolished by the sim update for no explalined reason. Now AIG are needing to do additional work due to update 6.
To fly into empty airports or airports full of multicoloured non liveried planes is reall an immersion killer and something I feel is not acceptable considering the time frame MSFS has been around. Devs get an AI traffic programme to work, then another Dev says you can’t use my models. Another Dev gets another AI traffic programme running and ready for release and Asobo wreck that one.
Please sort the Live Traffic out asap and assist 3rd party devs in geting an AI traffic programme up and running and stop creating hurdles. Thanks
Everything is going exactly to plan. Live traffic, study level aircraft, accurate ATC and weather etc. are not needed for a video game. The only bits that matter are pretty scenery and multi-player. Gradually culling all the other stuff will simplify game development and reduce costs, then eventually removing the PC version from the market and making it a game console only product will take MSFS to where it was intended to go from the outset.
Hi everyone, the information has been relayed internally and the team is currently investigating. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information to share.
Live traffic is back up. At least on the East Coast Server(s). Wow so it was down all weekend, and now just out of curiosity I re-check at 4:30AM on Sunday and it’s working. Isn’t that fantastic. Great Timing.
