Enhanced Live Traffic
Enhanced Live Traffic is a standalone Flight Simulator add-on that injects accurate live traffic into your game!
Once you are spawned in the world, you can open the application, click connect and see all the live traffic.
Without this add-on, you might see a lack of live traffic, or the live traffic is delayed. This add-on solves this.
Please note that it might take up to 10 seconds after clicking "Connect" for the traffic to appear in-game.
Manually setting the Community folder
When you got the error that the Community folder could not be found, please manually set it in: Config/Settings.json
Please note, that the path should look like this: F:\\Games\\Flight Simulator\\Community\\
Make sure you use double backslashes (\\)
Model Matching
This application supports custom model matching.
- Go to: Config/ModelMatching.json
- Edit the file accordingly.
How to edit?
- How does model matching work? Let's say the "Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner" is detected, the modelmatcher will now search for an aircraft with the key: "Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner", this will return "Boeing 787-10" ("Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner": "Boeing 787-10" as seen in the JSON file).
- The modelmatcher will now append the livery name, let's say "KLM", this results in: "Boeing 787-10 KLM", if this livery is found, it will use this aircraft, if it isn't, it will fall back to: "Boeing 787-10 Default" (It appends "Default" to the value gotten from the key),
- When getting "Boeing 787-10 Default", it will return "Boeing 787-10 Asobo" and use this aircraft.
This add-on is still in ALPHA, there are still bugs!
If you would like to help me out, feel free to open a pull request at: https://github.com/GewoonJaap/Flight-Simulator-Better-Traffic
If all aircraft have default liveries, check the logging files, so see if the application found any installed add-ons. Running as administrator might fix this issue if no addons are found.
Known bugs:
- Airplanes on the ground will teleport.
- When placing the application in a Admin Restricted folder (Program Files for example) the application might not work as expected. Please place it somewhere else or start the application as administrator.
- IVAO liveries might not work. Please send me a DM with the IVAO liveries, so that I might be able to fix it.
- Airplanes don't have nametags. This is not possible with the flight sim SDK. So I have to wait for Asobo to fix this..

How would I get Cessna 402C to show up as Baron G58 (Cape Air)?

I only have the default A320 plane that spawn for every aircraft. in the log, it finds the community folder + stock planes, but only spawn a320.
Also, have multiple model&liveries from AIG installed, would it be possible to use them?

I've created a simple tool to highlight models matched or not matched by Enhanved Live Traffic. It reads the logs and can offer suggestions for the modelconfig.json file and update this file for you.
It contains a database of all the airports in the msfs and can at the click of a button show on an openstreet map where at any airport live planes are positioned, making it easier to check if the correct model and/or livery has been assigned to a plane. Airports can be added using their icao code.

Cool! You should upload it to flightsim.to so more people can find it 😊

Once its on flightsim.to can you msg me??
WilbikFS 3 day(s) ago
I am currentlly converting it to a .net version . The current version for W7/10/11 is completely safe and checked by VirusTotal. Yes, I will notify you, this might be nxt month😞

Excellent !!!
What a pleasure to fly among the real traffic in the world! (I use AIG mod to see the real planes). The big problem is on the tarmac. Planes are moving ridiculously.
But the pleasure in the sky is so high that I give 5 stars.
Hoping that the bug on the ground will be solved.

Thats not a bug, i believed this addons depend on ads-b movement

I found a bug. Maybe you can fix it? Description: For example: If you start the APP the altitude of an airplaine is 6025 shown in the APP at the MAP like LittleNAvMAP or also in Pilot2ATC Map (so in the SIM) it shows approximately 2181 ft. After one or two updates the airplaine in the APP is still 6025 and in the Map shown as 3 times higer approximately 18000 ft.) Never an airplaine in the APP or in the MAPS have the same altitude. Hope you can fix it. Thanks!
WilbikFS 30 day(s) ago
Perhaps the reason is due to the fact that Enhanced Life Traffic gets the altitude of planes from flightradar and not msfs ; for this reasona a plane's heading data when taxing at slow speed is somewhat erratic to say the least.
My understanding is that Microsofts 'Live' data although more accurate is 15 mins old whereas ELT is basically llive give or take a minute.
I have a feeling that the app at present doesn't check for irrational heights.

Hi, despite the teleporting its still the only brilliant tool that is truly live although at times when I use the API , I tend to be ahead by 30 seconds ! However, could you help me resolve a nagging issue.
I use Bredok3d for 737's and am parked at Oslo (ENGM).
When I examine the log I see that at times it correctly matches Norwegian Airlines.
However, interestingly,when the same model type B738 from the same Airline(Norwegian) has an additional bit to the title, ie Norwegian (Asta Nielsen Livery) , Norwegian (Helmer Hansen Livery) etc it gets set to the default 737 .
I tried adding these titles to the aircraft.cfg and adding a new [FLTSIM. etc but to no avail.
Any ideas? I've also looked at the code but couldn't exactly pinpoint the problem. Many thanks.
MrProper 1 month(s) ago
First of all. Thank you so much for your donation!😊😊
Could you send me the log in my DM? And can you make sure it includes the airline name that matches with a livery and the one that matches with the default 737? Thanks in advance.
WilbikFS 1 month(s) ago
Hi I You're welcome and deserve a donation!
I have after a lot of trial and error resolved this by adding the following to the config file!
"B38M":"Boeing 737",
"B738":"Boeing 737",
"B739":"Boeing 737",
"Boeing 737 Default":"Boeing 737"
The problem was not so much matching the model as fetching the right livery!
btw I deleted all ivao folders relating to the 737. I had similar problems with some of the KLM 737 types but the above seems to have done the trick
I've written a program which highlights failed matches and also uses flightradar to show positions of aircraft at any airport which I'm hopiing to make available soon. This has helped me a lot to identify problems and to check the liveries,
Your great program is understandably biassed towards the A320 - as shown when the config file is empty!
When it comes to non Asobo models, it is not apparent how the new model ie the 737 Bredok3d should be referred to. In the end I just called it Boeing 737
So , I wonder how you should refer to the A330 900 ?
WilbikFS 1 month(s) ago
Have fixed it by adding a default statement to the config.json file.
The same procedure has to be done for the A320 when an individual plane name has been added in brackets . It is very clever how you managed to extract these individual names from the registration detaisl in a flightradar stream as the stream itself doesn't contain them !
Stevesteve
hy will you fix the altitude? some planes teleport over 50000ft and more. the app show the correct altitude but in game is it over 50000ft and more.
MikPyt 2 month(s) ago
Agreed, biggest issue for me right now. From what I have seen recently at EPKK app showed correct altitude vs FR24 and timing was more or less correct with EPKK feed from liveATC, but the model spawned exactly 10 000 feet higher than reported - seemed like some mathematical/logical error or bug more than a tracking error
MrProper 2 month(s) ago
I think that his has something to do with the simconnect SDK, sometimes the planes will keep going higher and higher
MikPyt 2 month(s) ago
How do you fetch latitude/longtitude data compared to altitude? I have checked the logs and observed the mods behavior for a while now.
Logs contain regular updates on lat/long from ADS-B flight tracking, but no altitude. Your lat/long data periodically overrides whatever MSFS/simconnect wants to do - but not altitude, except when the plane is on the ground (then it starts to teleport taxi, as predicted in known issues)
MrProper 2 month(s) ago
Long, lt and alt are both fetched in the same API call to flightradar and should be updated afaik
PerthFlyerYT
Great addon, was wondering if you could add support for AIG AI traffic? That would be great, thank you.
MrProper 2 month(s) ago
Thanks! What is AIG AI traffic?
PerthFlyerYT 2 month(s) ago
A new mod that has just released that injects AI traffic which is one the of the best out there currently. AIG AI Manager Version 1.1 public BETA – Alpha India Group (alpha-india.net)
DEJHUR 2 month(s) ago
yeah they are using ".MDL" just like from ivao.
Lohkovoittaja
Very nice and necessary addon for MSFS , big thank to you !
I installed addon today and its cool to see those live planes in the sky, but here comes the problem I have:
I cant see any Live planes at ground in any airport. Connection works OK and I get the list of the flying planes but there are always red error lines too on the left down corner.
I have installed IVAO package (have never connected to IVAO ).
Have you any tips for the problem ?
Thanks !
Lohkovoittaja 2 month(s) ago
Problem solved by updated IVAO packages.
But yes, there seems to be the jerky taxing problem.
I do hope there will be solution soon, because this addon would be the best addon of all !!
I think we all should donate for you, you have earned it.
Thanks and keep on develop
MrProper 2 month(s) ago
Sadly, I can't fix the taxi problem. There are some limitations in the sim which prevent me from fixing
ponny2oo2
Any update on the taxing of all aircraft..... planes are not moving on the ground
MrProper 2 month(s) ago
Sadly not.
garywin
When I double click the application, nothing opens. Help anyone?
ponny2oo2
QUESTION!!!!
What does it mean when you open the application and when traffic is listed at the bottom where the error is shown it says:
simconnect: create object failed (How to fix this error???
ponny2oo2
This is what MSFS2020 needs, REAL live Traffic. This DOES work, it provides all the live traffic in the area and you can check it with flightradar24.com
But like every MOD it needs some fixing, for example planes teleport in the ground, when taxing planes move with a stutter, in the air traffic looks good. I just hope they fix this mod to get it 100% REAL

Unfortunately no longer works. Crash after a few seconds/minutes (nothing in the logs)
sadmandono 3 month(s) ago
Work again. Crash was caused by LogMeIn hamachi
Im_in_ur_bathtub 2 month(s) ago
damn you still use hamachi????? legend
sadmandono 2 month(s) ago
Yes because shadow computer (https://shadow.tech) is blocking udp packets.
WilbikFS 1 month(s) ago
Crashes occur when a plane is not compliant with the latest su update, but don't ask me how to check this 😞 ELT can only cause a CDT when it matches an unstable model - I've had the same problem and removing the offending plane(s) worked.
Kreemerz
Guess I'll wait until it's working again... yet again.
MrProper 3 month(s) ago
Then tell me what's not working so I can fix it... Yet again
ponny2oo2
works, but planes disappear.... not good...
qman8166
So Im using this after Su6, and I see the flight tag of the AC and only the wing lights, I guess thats because SU6 compatibility hasnt been confirmed yet?
SIINDBAD 3 month(s) ago
Must be, Seeing the same. Just lights
przemuss1 3 month(s) ago
Hi! I got the same problem after SU6. Do You have idea how to fix?
SIINDBAD 3 month(s) ago
I'd assume since we can't see the visual of the aircraft but only the lights of it...that we'll have to wait till MrProper comes out with the SU6 Update
SIINDBAD 3 month(s) ago
Well...Scratch that for me, I re-downloaded / Re-Installed and it's working again
MRTNAIRLINES
Hello. I have so much aircrafts in the list, but zero aircrafts in the sim. I stay 5 minutes on the ramp at JFK New York, but i get no live traffic... What is wrong? Thanks!!
MrProper 3 month(s) ago
Hey,
Do you see any errors in the mod application?
Poltergeist97
Want to try this out, but I keep getting SimConnect errors in the app once it loads the traffic. Also, I dont see any traffic appear in game. I know my CSL is correct, as it works normally with default live traffic.
wiredapple
Any reason why the app keeps crashing? It will load aircraft and they spawn at the airport or in the air and the app will crash shortly afterwards. It's been hit or miss with the app crashing within a few minutes of starting/loading aircraft.
MrProper 3 month(s) ago
Is there anything in the logs?
