In 2024 the ground vehicle visibility has been tied to randomly generated planes at airports. The only way to remove these randomly generated planes at stands at airports is to set the Traffic Airport Quality setting in graphics to “Off”. This also removes the random fire trucks and other traffic.
For VATSIM on 2024 I and others will need no plane traffic at stands or around the airport but I would still like the ground vehicles to show and move around the airport for realism.
Surprised this hasn’t gained more traction. I’m using BATC ai traffic, so I have to turn off Airport traffic to remove static ai models. In turn, this also turns off airport ground vehicles moving around.
Please provide a separate slider for this. I believe it was present during the tech alpha.
I also don’t understand why not more users vote for this wish. Vatsim, BATC, FSLTL - therw are so many reasons to separate ground vehicles from aircraft.
I made a similar thread here, but goes into more detail for resource balancing. I didn’t think about impact for things like Vatsim since I don’t use it.
I’m also surprised neither of these topics have received much love.
I just voted on it. The promotion of wish list items needs to be improved. I’ll be honest, unless I see them on the main forum page, I don’t know they exist.
It’s the same for me - I miss many good ideas here. Usually I find them when googleing for something I asume would already be there/possible or was there in 2020
