| 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..

This does work after SU5 - BUT - MSFS now displays AI traffic poorly - textures are messed up and lights don't work. it's not an issue with any addon but rather undocumented changes with MSFS during SU5. Proof point - install and look at the VFR display - you'll see the traffic shown there but you have to be very close to see them without lights.

it worked but the planes do not seem to travel correctly as i am getting a move stop move like its losing a signal with the data and the sim or like a slide show. if anyone got any answers or if im doing something wrong would be appreciated.

I recommend waiting until the Developer of it release an update. As the old version of this will crash your game to desktop when running it. Still giving it 5 stars though as it did work before the update.

Your app is wonderful it adds a lot of realism. I am having a challenge however if getting different aircraft to be properly matched. I can't get regional getts to map properly to CRJ700ER. I suspect I am confused about which files I need to place where to add to your matching file. I am a bit new to model matching but I do have a lot of .vmr files in use for vatsim. A more in-depth explanation of model matching might be useful for novices such as myself. Thanks for the great effort thus far.

The problem is that the AEROSOFT CRJ has encrypted aircraft.cfg files - you can fix it by adding a shell aircraft.cfg file to the appropriate folder with the aircraft type and name...it won't get used when YOU fly the jet...it is only used for model matching.

I believe the app is working fine after SU5. However, FS is not displaying as well as it did before the update, I seldom see the strobes that I saw before.
NeFaSte
The addon is working very well on my game with SU5 hotfix. Little tips for everyone, even if the models are not so beautiful, you can download ivao to have quite all the models and liveries possible

App still crashed at connect after SU5 and hotfix didn't help neither.
MrProper 5 day(s) ago
Sadly, I am not able to update the application. The sim keeps crashing (On both of my computers..) when I click fly. Once my sim works again, I will update the application ASAP 😊
DC6Pilot 5 day(s) ago
No worries. Thanks for this great app. Planes are full at airports is a great sight to feel like you were there.

Sorry to hear that. If you're really stuck I'd bite the bulet and do a full uninstall followed by a reinstall. I know this is painful but it may be the only way to fix it. If yours is a steam version then you could get away with just validating the files. This usually fixes any rogue/corrupt files you might have that are preventing the sim from installing.
newtestleper 3 day(s) ago
Steam file validation deletes the files. Do not do this.
MrProper 21 hour(s) ago
Sadly the sim still crashes when clicking fly. I guess I have to wait for the next fix :/

Sadly not quite working with SU5... AI is moving like a slideshow etc.

I'm noticing these kinds of entries in my logs:
2021-07-28 11:24:00.985 -07:00 [INF] Found add-on with title: A346DLH2, ICAO Airline: DLH, model code: A346
2021-07-28 11:24:00.985 -07:00 [INF] Found add-on with title: A359AAR, ICAO Airline: AAR, model code:
So this means the model matching isn't picking up the A359, correct? Do I need to set it manually?
MrProper 6 day(s) ago
If on flightradar an airplane has the modelcode: A359, it will still work. Since it will also look if A359 is in the title of the livery

Is this updated for SU5? (Sim Update 5)
DC6Pilot 8 day(s) ago
Nope. Hopefully soon.
MrProper 7 day(s) ago
I haven't been able to test this yet. My sim keeps crashing when I click fly 😞
DC6Pilot 7 day(s) ago
The app crashed as I pressed connect. I have your 2.2 and 2.3 to tried.
spikeyazn 7 day(s) ago
Tried it yesterday with SU5 and it worked for me.
mikejenlyons 7 day(s) ago
Worked for me right after the SU5 update - just make sure you are looking at the log files created for failed model matches - I've had to do A LOT of manual entries to get matches at a high % for general aviation. If you focus on airline flying from larger airports the default settings result in a lot of A320s which is fine.

if only the ground teleporting think is fixed thats a nearly perfect addon thank you

It's a really great mod that brings life into MSFS2020! I just tried it on a flight, all goes very smoothly however the only negative point I've found so far is that airborne traffic are not climbing higher than 11582ft. Please keep up a good work to continue to update this great piece of mod as we desperatly need something like this. Maybe by waiting for Ultimate Traffic? 😀

I had Aeroflot 110 (AFL110) behind me in Altitude 12192ft but the aircraft is flying in 40000ft from Moskau to Miami: https://de.flightaware.com/live/flight/AFL110. Could you change this?
oualigator
very good soft. However, when there are gliders, I have airbus 320. Even when changing in modelmatching, I don't have a change of aircraft.
RDingo 11 day(s) ago
Set the path in the config file?
mikejenlyons
just noted that the file structure (location?) for the paid CRJ by Aerosoft must be a bit different than normal - when your program is doing the community and core directory searches it's not finding any CRJs. I can fly mine just fine but Enhanced Live Traffic isn't finding them so it keeps reporting missed matching (obviously). Not sure if you have purchased the CRJ...I'm going to dig into it and see if I can figure out what's different.
MrProper 12 day(s) ago
Hmm, is the CRJ installed in the community folder?
mikejenlyons 10 day(s) ago
Not on my system...it installed in the official directory .... which is still a mystery as it should be getting found during the directory search in the program.
MrProper 10 day(s) ago
Hmm, could you check if the aircraft.cfg is readable? Or is it encrypted?
mikejenlyons 10 day(s) ago
Ah yes...from the Aerosoft forum - the aircraft.cfg file is encrypted. I created a very minimal aircraft.cfg file in the appropriate directories and now the program sees/reports them as registered with the program. Next time I fly I'll verify MSFS doesn't delete/overwrite the shell aircraft.cfg (I think it will just ignore them).

Working really well, but too lazy to setup personalised model

MrProper 12 day(s) ago
Thanks for your review, 😊 Which bugs make it unusable for you? So I can take a look at those.
TrainX 12 day(s) ago
MrProper 12 day(s) ago
Do you mean the teleporting on the ground? Because that's a known and hard to fix issue for now sadly 😞
TrainX 12 day(s) ago
MrProper 12 day(s) ago
Really depends. If you want to have a realistic sim, indeed. If you just play arcade like me, it is fine 😋. However, I am looking into this issue and trying to find a way to fix it. Sadly, it is very hard because the sim doesn't support their own SDK that well AFAIK.
TrainX 12 day(s) ago
Please stay tuned and try to fix these many bugs ... And then preferably your own models ..... Thanks for this project!
TrainX
Cool mod as I said ... But still has a lot of bugs

What does it mean when I still see Asobo default airliners taxi and flying? Is there anything I can turn them off in the sim?
MrProper 12 day(s) ago
What do you mean with: "Asobo default airliners"? The generic planes? Because you can turn those off in the sim settings
RDingo 11 day(s) ago
You can change the default airplane in modelmatching.json.
Did you set the path to your community folder? If you don’t, all you will see are Airbuses.
hvh9001
what am i doing wrong?. it's still using the a320 as a helicopter. I have the H135 and i fly it a few time in the sim. so why is it still using the a320
MrProper 13 day(s) ago
Can you give me the helicopter model code so I can check?
RDingo 13 day(s) ago
The A320 is the default aircraft ELT uses for aircraft. If ELT doesn’t know where your community folder is, that’s all you will see. Did you set the community folder location in the config file?
hvh9001 13 day(s) ago
here is the model code I have: model code: H135. I also notice the aircraft shows up in the log. so i'll just keep cheicking for aircraft to show up.
MrProper 12 day(s) ago
If you have the H135 add-on installed, it will use that model. If not, send me the log file in DM
mikejenlyons 5 day(s) ago
You have to manually edit your model matching JSON file to fit your needs - send me an IM and I'll send you my matching file which works well for a pretty wide number of aircraft...including the H135.
