Traffic injected in MSFS 2020 unwantedly, although all settings are off

Recently I noticed that I always had aircraft at the airport which obviously don’t belong there.
For example Avianca and American Airlines at Biarritz (LFBZ).

I generally use FSLTL and Just Flight FS Traffic only for models, injection is handled by BeyondATC. First I suspected BATC, but I can see on the BATC traffic map, that the wrong models in questions are not coming from BeyondATC (the wrong models don’t appear on the BATC map, therefore I am sure they are not injected by BATC).

For example I just saw the ugly generic yellow/white MSFS Models at EDDN, even though I have all traffic set to off and BeyondATC was not running.

In MSFS I have set everything so that MSFS adds no AI or live traffic (I only want traffic to be injected by BATC, nothing from the base sim). Yet however, FSLTL and generic Models frequently appear at airports they don’t belong to and I am running out of ideas which setting could be wrong?

So far I have seen:

  • American Airlines at LFBZ
  • Osprey G-OSFY at LFBZ
  • Baghdad Airlines (or something like that) at LFBZ
  • FedEx Caravan at LFBZ
  • Azul PS-CNF at Lelystad (EHLE)
  • PIA AP-BMS at EDDN
  • Airnorth VH-ANO at EDDN
  • Varesh EP-VAV at EDDN

Attached are screenshots of my settings.
Does anyone have an idea why I get traffic from MSFS when I don’t want it? I want it only from BeyondATC.
What do I need to set to get NO traffic from MSFS at all, only from BeyondATC?







I suspect that could be your Ground Aircraft Density.
Try turning that slider off.

Interesting, that could make sense. I will test this.
Do you know if anything regarding ground traffic was recently changed? I am sure I have had that slider like this forever, and only recently noticed that wrong aircraft are injected on ground.

No, I don’t know of any changes, but I believe that slider adds default aircraft as static models to add ambience.

This is a good trace. Just saw that BATC even suggests in their FAQ to set it up like this: * Ground Aircraft Density: 0

This was it. I assume that the setting somehow got reset to default recently, I noticed some other settings got defaulted as well.

Thank you! :slight_smile:
