Realtime traffic

I just want to understand how this works.
I use online traffic thinking that this is a future there you would only se real world traffic, that is at and around that airport. What i see i more other mfs 2020 players that are at, or around that airport doing kamikaze, bouncing of the runways, landing without clearance etc. That takes away a lot of the reality feeling.

Isnt it possible to have diffrent servers and an option in the game for toying around server, begginers that want to learn and advancved servers there everybody fly by the rules?

Is there any other option for “real” traffic, that is realworld traffic and not just others players toying around in MFS 2020 ?

You can go ahead and turn off multiplayer. This will leave the AI traffic but not show other MSFS simmers.

I have that, off allready!
How do I get realtime traffic from the realworld?

Set your traffic to AI / Online, and multiplayer off.

There is a traffic option for Live Traffic that you need to turn on.

Jag have unde data, multiplayer off and under traffic real-time online.

If you have multiplayer OFF you can’t be seeing other MSFS players.

“”"“You’d either have to keep circling forever until all the real world traffic has landed, or you’d have to have the sim turn real world traffic around so that you could land… which would then make it no longer real world traffic? “””""""

You could get switched for the real plane landing at that time or runway if there is any, that would be better than what it is now :wink: Unles you dont want to fly MP

Hmm, ok so is this Asobos AI that are behaving like this then? because I could not tell the difference in behaviour

Turn on multiplayer nameplates, if you see usernames above the aircraft you have multiplayer on.

Set traffic to real-time online and you won’t see that behavior.

I have real time online

Post a screenshot of your settings.


It’s ok, you can’t be seeing other players. If you see planes doing strange things it’s probably planes that had to go around because there were other planes landing.

You can see thet difference of someoane doing a missed approach or dancing on the runway, doing circles on the taxiways, planes crossing runways at low altitude, I would categorise this as very poorly coded ai… isnt there any traffic addon as there was for p3d, ex Live traffic or UT 2

Not yet. There is the free AIG but you will still see that behavior. Asobo needs to fix the AI first.
I use those settings and never see planes dancing on the runway or doing circles, but I don’t fly in the big airports though. I just see some strange things when they go around, then start buzzing the airport at low altitude.

You can set all AI and RW traffic to off and use AIG traffic controller app. You’ll see aircraft pushing back and following their way from the parking to the runway, taking off and landing. Everything by the rules.

To an extend, but even AIG is bound to the issues within MSFS itself (such as when an aircraft is in front of it so it starts to spin), or very slow to exit the runway after landing and all other aircraft have to go around.

The core issue is MSFS, regardless of who’s traffic you put on it.
