[@mikepapahotel]

OUTSTANDING! Thank you - you provided exactly the help I needed with FSLTL and Addon Linker. Clear concise instruction, and very easy to follow. I really appreciate your assistance! :)

[@TheSimPilot]

You're very welcome

[@shivendrasingh2355]

Great video as always my friend! Your explanations are always excellent, always look forward to your amazing content!

[@TheSimPilot]

Thank you very much for the kind words

[@frysimulation]

Great video Thanks so much. If your using VATSIM what do you use for that ?

[@TheSimPilot]

Not on VATSIM very often but there are some vmr files you can search and find online. I haven't tested any of those though due to very limited time for sim and odd hours where there are no controllers online.

[@yams900]

I probably should install & start using addon linker. Hope easy to configure

[@TheSimPilot]

Super easy, you will be alright

[@johnb.3655]

Ahh, Thank You!! This video is very helpful, excellent!!

[@TheSimPilot]

You're welcome!

Great video!!! I did follow your instructions step by step and managed to start the injection into the sim on every airport i've choose. I can see aircraft parking and few are taxing. However I cannot see any takeoff or landing aircraft activates what's so ever. I've checked my Addon Linker which looks OK. Appreciate for any kind of idea which can solve this out....thanks!

[@TheSimPilot]

I would first check flightradar24 to see if there are any departures and arrivals showing for the airport. FSLTL is getting all traffic information from flightradar24. Other than this not sure what else can be done if incoming and departing traffic is not seen.

[@yams900]

Interesting! I had no idea what FSLTL was, now I’m much wiser :) Wish startup could be easier, though. Seems manual labour getting it fired up.

[@TheSimPilot]

Yes but at least installation is super simple and not confusing like AIG. Running the injector is a simple click to a shortcut on your desktop so not too bad.

[@jazzcupjoey]

This helped a lot thank you very much!

[@TheSimPilot]

You're very welcome

[@MrScott_e]

Great video for using Addon Linker. I noticed the Fenix was installed directly in your community folder. Is there not an option for the Fenix just like the FBW? If there is please cover it. Thx

[@TheSimPilot]

I have to test first but if I remember correctly Fenix installer does not have an option to select the installation directory.

[@Kreemerz]

Thumbs up, on this video.

[@TheSimPilot]

Thank You!

Thank you.

Very nice and great explanation video thank you very much. I have a question: I have this red error in Linker and I have seen one in your video at 5:16 "Could not read the manifest.json file"? Do you have an explanation for this error please. Or maybe somone in the comments can help with it. Thanks again.

[@TheSimPilot]

The red text is nothing to worry about. In mine it is due to some addons moved to different folders to better structure and once addon linker reads it it creates a database of sorts and when it can't find the path it draws that red text you can right click into the window and select "delete all invalid links" safely to remove these red text errors.

19:56 - how do you disconnect your camera and zoom out to see your airport like that?

[@TheSimPilot]

Quite simple actually I am using the drone camera and the keybind to switch to done çanta is "INS" key. From there I can use the W,A,S D to control the camera. If you're on xbox that might be a little different though.

[@yogowong]

@@TheSimPilot but how do we look up and down (and also elevate up and down)?

[@yogowong]

@@TheSimPilot I found them - R and F is to elevate, then Num 4 and 6 to look L and R

[@TheSimPilot]

@@yogowong Ah I see now I didn't realize that was what you're asking yes those keys are used to control the camera movement.

[@josneira1827]

not working after it updated when i start simbridge a bios/cmd screen flashes then disappears, but in game get the message FSLTL is not running April 7th 2023

[@TheSimPilot]

Haven't flown for a while I have to check if last sim update broke anything

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

Not working for me. Installed version 1.2.1. Don't see what I've done wrong, if anything. Deleted AIG, set internal traffic to 0. In the tool bar inside FS2020 the FSTL option/icon button doesn't show up. Even after waiting 10 minutes or so no injected aircraft show up. Tried injecting aircraft as San Francisco, so a busy airport.. Any ideas?

[@TheSimPilot]

Are you running the FSLTL traffic injector? The menu shows up if the external injector app is running.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@TheSimPilot yes

[@TheSimPilot]

@@jjsmallpiece9234 Not sure what's wrong. I use it almost daily and it works. Only other recommendation I have is to make sure you see the "fsltl-traffic-injector" folder in community.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@TheSimPilot yes zi can see the fstl installation folders

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@TheSimPilot My FSLTL installation gets to the log in screen where you enter the VFR/IFR traffic details and the API number. I get the message 'Injection started' then nothing else. I don't get the list of injected aircraft list as shown in your video from about 24m45sec

[@pm110978]

I’m getting CTDs when landing when I use FSTL unfortunately 😕

[@TheSimPilot]

I had couple CTD's too. It will improve and bugs will be fixed hopefully.

[@dhblan8591]

For the uninitiated and less experienced, what is FSLTL? Don’t you think that it would have been wise to open with an explanation of what it is and what it does? You lost me early in this video. Thank you.

[@TheSimPilot]

This is my second video for FSLTL first video explains what it is. But to answer your question FSLTL is a Live Traffic injection addon that uses flightradar24.com's live traffic data to inject it into the sim with correct liveries and aircraft models. It aims to improve live traffic due to MSFS live traffic being very buggy and incorrect.

[@dhblan8591]

@@TheSimPilot Thank you for the reply and explanation. As mentioned, I am a newbie to flight sims so even now that I know what it is, it is beyond me and my level in MSFS. I appreciate your informative videos and have learned a lot from previous videos. Thank you.

[@TheSimPilot]

@@dhblan8591 You're welcome I hope the answer was sufficient. It is more of a immersion improvement type of addon to have accurate traffic displayed in the sim. It does not affect the functionality at all if you decide not to have it.
