XBOX LIVE Traffic

The quality of LIVE Traffic is so poor.

  • aircraft are showing up only when you be very close
    ( the aircraft look like minecraft bricks )
  • In Air / No Traffic visibility in far distance / No contrails
    visible
  • Traffic Airport movements are crazy as hell
  • where are all the real time Liveries ??

So ALL mentioned here was promised and showcased before the Release of msfs2024 Back in nov24.

This is customer irritation ! I bought the Aviator Edition cause I trusted Microsoft and Asobo with ALL the big improvements they promised. Big mistake !!

What i mentioned here ist only one big thing.
There are a lot more bugs and issues. I cannot mention all here.

The whole quality on xBox is catastrophal.
Even msfs 2020 is so much better. How can that be ??

Not really, no. To be fair at least I cannot remember that something official stated these points to be promised - they promised that there will be a large variety of real world aircraft and a variety of real world traffic liveries from existing airlines which is true. You can find the following airlines being used currently:

  • Iberia
  • Easy Jet
  • United
  • Qatar
  • S7
  • Brussels
  • Air New Zealand
  • Wizzair
  • Spirit
  • Tarom
  • Allegiant
  • Alaska Airlines
  • Discover
  • Jet2
  • KLM

That list is going to expand whenever they have more licenses in place. I also did not see any traffic liveries beyond that (in fact I only remember United being showcased and KLM being used on the A330 user aircraft). There were no contrails seen in any trailer/screenshot (which also never worked correctly on default MSFS 2020 traffic aircraft) and only the most basic airport movements when it comes to traffic.

For reference, this is the only material shown by XBGS which featured any traffic for ~5 seconds:

While I agree that live traffic needs a work over and has it’s flaws and bugs the things mentioned were clearly not announced or showcased in that way. Even the first point I didn’t quote is debatable as everything in the shots was rather close to the camera and is an issue in general (LODs switching too close/the LOD system being too aggressive).

Separate bug reports are already existing for these things. I may guide you here so you can place your votes (your bug is in the wrong category):

Yeah - however it was mentioned / promised or Not.
In every Trailer you see the real time Traffic what they announced.
This live Traffic is a shame in all regards and needs a Lot, a Lot more Work.
In this state Live Traffic is unusable and Not realistic and be honest to yourself it ist a total FAIL.
And you mentioned the Liveries beeing used. Probably they are Here , but mostly spreaded all over the world. Thats useless.

Don’t find excuses or good words of this Traffic topic.

Oh man - people want not hear that anymore.
It feels Like one step Forward and 2 steps Back.

I agree with you and so do some of the ground services. However I no longer notice aircraft falling sideways or spinning then turning belly up. So for me it’s one BIG step forward.

I do wish AIG or FSLTL liveries worked with live traffic like they do in MSFS2020. Hopefully both of those injectors will be working when SU2 is released.
