Real-world air traffic, made simple.

Traffic2U brings real-world aviation into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020 using live ADS-B tracking data.

Built upon the original LiveTraffic MSFS project, Traffic2U focuses on providing a simpler, more user-friendly experience through a dedicated Windows application, improved traffic management, and refinements aimed at smoother aircraft movements.

Enjoy real-world aircraft around you without having to keep a command prompt window open in the background.

Main Features

1. Real-World Live Traffic – Inject actual aircraft based on live ADS-B tracking data.
2. Multiple Aircraft Model Libraries – Compatible with supported FSLTL, Just Flight FS Traffic and AIG aircraft models and liveries.
3. Simple Windows Application – Control live traffic through a clean, straightforward graphical interface.
4. No Persistent CMD Window – No need to keep a command prompt window constantly visible while flying.
5. Minimize While Flying – Minimize the application to the Windows taskbar or system tray while traffic injection continues.
6. Clear Traffic Overview – Easily access traffic status, configuration options and application controls.
7. Smoother Traffic Management – Targeted improvements intended to reduce unnecessary aircraft interruptions.
8. Configurable Traffic Settings – Customize aircraft limits, display radius and model matching preferences.

What's Different from the Original LiveTraffic?

Traffic2U is not a completely new traffic engine. It builds upon the existing LiveTraffic project while focusing on usability, convenience and traffic stability.

1. A Simpler Windows Experience

The biggest difference is the dedicated Windows application.

Instead of managing LiveTraffic through a continuously visible command prompt window, Traffic2U provides a clean and accessible interface where everything is organized in one place.

Start, pause or stop traffic injection, review the current application status and adjust your preferences without dealing with a command-line interface.

2. Minimize and Forget

Once traffic injection is running, you can minimize Traffic2U to your Windows taskbar or system tray.

The application continues operating in the background, allowing you to focus on flying without unnecessary windows occupying your desktop.

3. Better Overview and Control

Traffic2U brings important controls and settings together in a single graphical interface.

Whether you want to adjust your traffic limits, configure aircraft model matching or simply check the injector's current status, the information is easier to find and manage.

4. Improvements Aimed at Smoother Aircraft Movement

Another development focus is reducing the noticeable pauses and interruptions that can sometimes occur with live traffic.

Traffic2U includes targeted traffic management improvements intended to provide more consistent aircraft behaviour, particularly during:

1. Descent and final approach
2. Landing and runway deceleration
3. Taxiing and ground movements
4. Transitions between different flight phases

These improvements are still undergoing live simulator validation, and results may vary depending on ADS-B coverage, system performance and available tracking data.

How Does It Work?

Traffic2U receives real-world aircraft positions from ADS-B data sources and recreates those aircraft inside Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The underlying engine uses buffered position updates and interpolation to create continuous aircraft movement between received tracking points.

Aircraft are matched to compatible installed AI models and liveries wherever possible.

The result is a living aviation environment based on actual aircraft operating around the world.

Requirements

1. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
2. Windows 10 or Windows 11
3. Active internet connection
4. Compatible AI aircraft models, such as FSLTL, Just Flight FS Traffic or AIG

Important: Running another live traffic injector simultaneously is not recommended, as this may result in duplicate aircraft.

OPTION A - WINDOWS INSTALLER (RECOMMENDED)

1. Extract the downloaded ZIP file.

2. Run Traffic2U_Setup.exe.

3. Follow the on-screen installation steps.

4. Launch Traffic2U using its installed shortcut or executable.

The installer is the simplest option for most users.

OPTION B - PORTABLE VERSION (NO INSTALLER)

1. Extract the downloaded ZIP file.

2. Find the folder containing Traffic2U.exe and the other app files

(for example, a folder named Traffic2U_Portable).

3. Copy or move that ENTIRE folder to a location of your choice,

such as C:\Games\Traffic2U or D:\Apps\Traffic2U.

4. Open the folder and double-click Traffic2U.exe.

Known Limitations

Traffic2U depends on the availability and accuracy of external ADS-B tracking data.

Ground movements, approaches and departures may sometimes be incomplete or approximate where live tracking coverage is limited.

Aircraft and liveries depend on the model packages installed on your system.

Injected traffic is not integrated with the simulator's native ATC system.

Traffic2U remains under active development.
