@BobbyFuzzy Love your channel!

[@anthonyneave]

I'm blown away by how good FSLTL is. It's easy to use and install, the models look great, the liveries are appropriate for the airport, there's hardly any performance hit....and best of all, it's free! I've been eagerly awaiting FS Traffic, but after using this, JustFlight are going to have to come up with something special. I think they may have missed the boat!

[@MR.B1819L]

I was a tester for this amazing product since January and I couldn't wait till the public got a hold of this!

[@fiftyphonkartist]

its great, the only thing that needs to be improved is the fps

Nobody has talked about or shown the VFR airplanes. Are these GA puddle jumpers (cessnas and the like)? Website says nothing about it. I think that is what's missing in all the AI traffic systems.

[@bstikkel]

I agree. The smaller aircraft is often forgotten in ai software...

fsltl plus theninjection is in my community folder and msfs on and fsltl is running but I hear other traffic but I don`t see them and there are AC that I can see going in the wrong direction. I am sure that this will be something simple . I will watch the video again.

[@jermainegriffin5299]

Hello Q8Pilot I have done some plane spotting at my home airport Hartsfield Jackson for hours. I have yet to see an aircraft takeoff? They do everything else but takeoff , why?

[@Photoshopmanipulator]

great show. do you have to go to all those steps every time before you start msfs ?

[@Q8Pilot]

No, just once. The next time you start FSLTL it will ask you if you want to make changes. Just type "n" and enter. It will remember all your preferences.

[@citylimitsphoto]

Do we need to enter the data in everytime we use MSFS and FSLTL or is it a set it and forget it?

[@FerGrutta]

no , it is already recorded in the console, only that every time the injector is executed, it asks you if you want to make a change or not, if you click yes it lets you change the values, otherwise they are saved as you had left them before

[@progamerjacob245]

Whenever I try to download the base models or injector I get a windows permission error and I don’t know what to do please help

[@ahmettaskn5687]

The only problem that I had with the addon is injector cannot distinguish Anadolujet and Turkish Airlines flights I think because both of them use THY callsign so both Anadolujet and Turkish Airlines flights have Turkish airlines livery. Except that, it is an awesome addon I highly recommend it.

[@themtoniraniremaxbroker2447]

Many Many Thanks for doing this Sir!! Much Appreciated!! Be Well.

[@TheFunShow14]

I did all of this but the flybywire wouldn't install is it because I'm using a Xbox one?

[@nael678]

nice video thank you, but i still don't see movements of aircrafts on the ground of the airports. no take offs no landings, no taxi, or its very rare.

[@mali6491]

This is an amazing product, however I believe I have discovered a shortcoming. So when I started using FSLTL I noticed that ND TCAS would not display any aircraft in vicinity. So I turned the REAL AIR TRAFFIC back on in TRAFFIC Options, without removing FSLTL folders from the Community folder and did some flights in the FLYBYWIRE A320, but without starting FSLTL. As I expected the TCAS radar was working again along with the FSLTL liveries minus the FSLTL sounds. It seems MSFS TCAS will detect only native traffic. Would love to hear about other users experience in this regard.

[@Q8Pilot]

I have no issues with TCAS with FSLTL whatsoever. Works as it should.

Hello! Amazing video, thanks for the tips. I had one question. Will this work will real world AI traffic? Do you have to install the injector for that? Thanks!

[@butterairways]

what should the flight conditions be set to pre flight? Live traffic, AI, or Off?

[@Q8Pilot]

Off

[@CactusBravo42]

I personally don’t care for IFR or VFR traffic so I can just set those to “0” if I only want static ground traffic, correct?

[@57Jimmy]

I am upgrading from fsx on old system to msfs on new gaming pc. I fly mainly CYVR-CYYJ and all around southern Canada. Does this program have the smaller regional turboprop airlines like Pacific Coastal Airlines Central Mountain Air etc? I dont think the payware version handles them anymore…well at least they dont list them on their aircraft list. I really enjoy flying the small and shorter routes with flight times around 1-2hrs.

[@Q8Pilot]

I have seen very little of those models in the program. GA at this point is highly experimental.

[@umbertopilla1639]

Thanks. Should the program be started before or after the simulator starts?

[@Q8Pilot]

It will start before the sim, but it will only inject traffic once your flight is fully loaded.

[@samuelespiezio4424]

Does the other planes calcolate you i mean if they have my plane in front of them does they stop?

[@Q8Pilot]

Unfortunately no.

[@Adam-ur1qw]

Am I missing something? Very little aircraft actually in the air from the start, almost nothing in relation to what flight radar is showing. I have my traffic at 85 and still barely anything in the air at busy airports. Maybe i am missing something?

[@txhunter144]

It can only inject traffic, and MSFS takes over after that (unfortunately). You’re not missing anything.

[@willrussell4085]

@Q8Pilot ... I cannot get this FSLTL Addon to work. I've downloaded & ran the Injector in MSFS, as well as did all of the correct setting steps, and it will not work. I've tried working this addon between the three different "Air Traffic" displays and I cannot figure out what the problem is.. any help?

[@Q8Pilot]

Have you tried to check out the FSLTL Discord channel, they provide you support there. I am sorry I am not familiar with how the addon was developed.

It does, but it is highly experimental at this point.

[@Q8Pilot]

The model matching and AI models are being improved. It has just released, so I am sure things will be ironed out in due course.

[@Jay-uw2eb]

@@Q8Pilot yeah I'm sure they will, no complaints here just wanted to mention it 🙂 it sure is a damn site better than no traffic or generic puss lol

[@vasily2022]

Looking forward to installing this, but there is one thing you youtubers need to tell developers of these software. It has to do with the ai traffic density sliders. They need to allow a way to either set the destination sliders' numbers different from the departure airport sliders from the start, or better yet find a way to make the changes mid flight as you approach your destination. The reason is, if you fly from KSFO to KBUR, you may want to set the percentage at 60% at KSFO which should give you a good amount of traffic as it's a big airport with lots of flights. This helps performance and reduces chances of clogging. But Burbank is a smaller airport with less flights so that 60% may not be enough for that airport and maybe 80% would be best there...

[@Q8Pilot]

You can alwasys stop and restart the injection at any point in time.

[@SimPilotMika]

Thanks Q8! Also I need your help with knowing which addon to use here. I tested to see if people would get sick using a Timelapsed VR recording using someone else’s video and speed it up to 6x, 8x or 10x, which are the only ones that world work, and unfortunately even at 6x it didn’t look nice to look at The only way I can bring back the Timelapse idea is if I have a sort of “GoPro” style camera at the window for the entire cruise. Is there a replay addon that would let me record from that far away for the entire cruise? (Keep in mind most Qantas A330s fly for about 3-5 hours on average)

[@Q8Pilot]

Hey there Mika, I am not sure how can I help, but please do let me know if there is seomthing specific you need an advise for.

[@SimPilotMika]

@@Q8Pilot I mainly meant to ask if the replay tool you use can handle a 3 hour cruise recording, or is that too much of a stretch for it? Or is it only meant for short recordings like landings etc.

[@sigurdolaisen8389]

Does this have the same irrational AI behavior that we see with the default AI traffic: like airliners buzzing around the airfield at treetop altitude etc?

[@Q8Pilot]

For the most part, it is well behaved!

[@shinkicker404]

a lot of that is because planes slam the brakes on when landing at taxi 90% of the runway at 10 knots this forces the following AI to do go arounds, resulting in the ridiculously silly go arounds and buzzing the airfield. So if the landings are fixed and the don’t basically stop on the runway, it shouldn’t stack up. Is that fixed @Q8Pilot?
