FSLTL installer does not appear allow a choice of which drive to install on? If there is no way to choose do I just move the folder from my C: drive across to my F: drive?
@@BritishAvgeek Just had cause to re-visit your website as above and noticed my old query. Just to update that query in the installer settings you can direct the installation to anywhere you want. In my case it is my H: drive where I installed MSFS2020.
Mind blowing. Just before I went to bed last night, I checked TH-cam and @BobbyFuzzy had just posted a video on this, so I followed the instructions, loaded FS and plonked myself at my home Airport EGGD (Bristol). Opened FR24 on my phone and noticed an Easyjet 321 on finals. Went to Drone mode on MSFS - and there she was lights and all! Followed her all the way to parking - and with sound! Unbelievable. Fantastic stuff, can't wait to immerse myself in its glory!
Nice! Great to have another option for model matching at last, and especially one that is so much easier to setup. Glad to see they released it eventually :)
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...
That's awesome!! Thank you so much! The Ai-Group download that took forever never worked for me, but this took a fraction of the time and works perfectly!!! Can't thank you enough!! My now sim experience is exactly how I envisaged it :)
Oh wow, how easy was that. I'm like you though, going to keep AIG as well. Especially after all the work to get it running...lol. Great tutorial as always mate.
Can't quite bring myself to hit the big delete button - plus AIG has models/liveries FSLTL does not yet have so it's nice to have both and it'll mostly cover everything!
Honestly. If you wasn’t an airline pilot I’d be poaching you for training director in my company. What a great well said instruction on how to use this amazing new piece of software. Well done. 🤛
So how come you have so much knowledge when you do your instruction videos. I really thought you were in the job. Doesn’t matter as you know more than most that say they are. Total respect from me.
works nice with vatsim. i disabled ifr and vfr traffic, just let a little bit of static airplanes. Feels nice when you landed at an airport without live traffic
I love this program, but make sure you all realise this is live traffic only if you fly any times that are not live, then as far as I can see this will not work as Flight plan DB does not keep historic data so you could end up with empty skies if offline. Which is where AiG work better as the TC program knows all the flight plans for the whole world at anytime of day you set. But I love there is now more than one free option that works.
Just came across this great video as I was researching the best Ai traffic mods to date. Since this video is a little old I was wondering how it compares to FS Traffic and AIG if you’ve tried it recently. Since there’s been updates for all traffic mods I wanted to see if this is still the best traffic option or if Fs Traffic is the new best mod? Another quick question is if you do go with FSLTL is it still recommended to use AIG at the same time? Your channel is awesome btw!
FS Traffic - payware, don't have it.... AIG - I still use it though it's harder to install and the UI is a messy nightmare. FSLTL is much simple to use but I use both FSLTL and also AIG at the same time
thanks for this tut. could you please do a troubleshooting video regarding the red error messages within vpilot concerning the model matching/aircrafts. so far i am using AIG and got a lot of these messages in busy airport which keeps my vpilot beeping and thus decreasing the immerision.
Unfortunately the beeping can't be removed without turning the vPilot sound settings off (then you can't hear the ATC!) I mentioned in the video about how you can troubleshoot the red errors briefly so hope that helps - not all errors are errors basically and it depends on a) what you have installed and b) the vmr alongside it
Hi BA, i know this is an oldish video, but just found it and used it to guide me through FSTL and Vatsim integration, for which i thank for for a very concise and easy to follow explanation. 1 Question if I may please, Can you use FSTL Injector whilst logged onto Vatsim at same time? or does it get too confused? Thank you again.
Regarding vPilot and the .vmr file. Reading the supplied vmr file shows that it does not reference any particular airline and also all the ModelNames ends in "ZZZZ" but there is no such model title in the related aircraft.cfg file hence I do not see other aircraft of the correct modelname. In your own xtremepaul etc modelmatching vmr file you include a CallsignPrefix which to my knowledge is the only way to see an actual livery being used otherwise presuming one has a correct ModelName as opposed to "ZZZZ" you will see i.e. all A320 in the same livery irrespective of the livery being flown by the other pilot. So in short my querstion is should the vmr file reference a CallsignPrefix and a real ModelName?
There are also new features such as distance of live traffic and whether blank and default liveries should be shown, what's your thought on this ? Also I have now deleted the LATIN VFR static aircraft product but was wondering whether I should also keep those models in or whether there would be duplicate spawning on stands ?
ASA164 was a trigger to highlight the fact that an error doesn't always mean it is an error (ignore the callsign used of course, it was there to make a point about troubleshooting and the way the vpilot error system works)
@@BritishAvgeek so even though it showed it showed ASA164 as an error it was displayed with the proper model? I had that in one flight vpilot showing error with osprey calling but I could see all the models correctly
@@leonardolima388 nooo not quite - I was testing it in San Francisco when the message popped up (it used another Alaska livery instead so was an error but not an error if that makes sense)... Then I switched to Heathrow to make the video

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!
Im using FSTL injector with AIG flight models to reduce the hit on FPS..seems to work fine..just trying to figure out how to get the G.A. from AIG to show up
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.
I injected the traffic earlier and it’s amazing however couldn’t see any planes taxiing or landing/departing at all? Looks like same on this video? Do you know why?
It took me about 10-15mins earlier for all the data to begin to feed in. Other than that, increase the IFR traffic available in the injector options and tinker with the settings
Hello, the install reads 3.5 GB and 24+ GB required size, that's a lot of space. How the size of the Base Models installation impacts the FPS? Is there a "lighter" version, or to adjust the number of liveries being installed? Thank you! (Great addon, btw, thanks for the great work!)
there's no smaller package or way to select parts of it - it's all or nothing. There is a FPS loss when using it too as it's rendering all the AI aircraft in, and they have animations, lights and sounds too :)
Thanks for your videos! I am currently using FSLTL & your AIG file from Github along with the FSLTL vmr file and yours in vPilot. One plane I would like to see is the inibuilds A310, but it never gets matched. Is it possible to see this plane on Vatsim?
Do we still need the IVAO X-CSL files in the community folder for model matching (VATSIM, Live Traffic, AI Traffic…), when we also have AIG and FSLTL? I have heard, that we don't need the .vmr file anymore with the latest vPilot version. It have a model scan function, which scans our community folder... Is this correct? Thanks!
Good question, you don't need any IVAO stuff anymore unless you fly on IVAO. I personally use FSLTL and AIG together with both vmr's still installed into vpilot too
After you install the injector it adds a toolbar icon that will let you remove nearby traffic, which you would use if you need to clear any traffic on your approach or the runway.
@@BritishAvgeek Yeah I can see I was having issues with AIG and fsltl not working so I had to remove some AIG files to get fsltl to work right. I can understand keeping AIG files for plane liveries I was at EGGD and the Easyjet a320 was fine but the a319 was just white.
So in short, is this providing the right liveries on the VATSIM aircrafts when I'm on the Vatsim network, or is it adding additional traffic .i.e real world traffic. It was not completely clear in the video ... i.e. why do I need this ? 🙂
it can do both. It can model match when in VATSIM, or if you are not on the network it can inject real world traffic. You just dont want to do both at the same time.
On viewing other reviews of FSTL, I made the foolish mistake of deleting AIG, then installed FSTL, I am lucky if FSTL recognises two or three planes. I have tried to reinstall AIG Manager, but after 8 hours over night, it was still had the scrolling bar saying loading airports, I had to stop it so I could go work. I should have kept AIG, and did as you did, move FSTL VMR to the top. So back to the drawing board for me.
@@BritishAvgeek thank you very much for thr quick response. That shows dedication and I respect it a lot. my issue is I have 2 community folders. The first one, I do %appdata%>appdata>roaming>msfs>packages>community There is like nothing in that folder and this is where the fsltl file went. I have another community file and I found it by going into to dev mode and using the settings stuff at the top. This is where I put all my mods. The fsltl file went to the first community file I mentioned and it didn’t work when I dropped the vmr file to custom rules. I moved the fsltl file to my other community file and dropped the vmr file into custom rules again and it worked. I was so happy when it worked. I think the issue here is that I bought fs2020 for steam and returned it and then bought it from Ms store right after. So I think that community file is for mods for steam. Tho I’m not sure, I’m new to pc. Just came from simming on Xbox and wanted to switch to pc
@@owenklein1917 make sure your extra folder is locatable by the sim and that the FSLTL package is actually being read by the sim too and loaded. You don't need to move the vmr package from the folder either, just point vpilot to the exact FSLTLRules.vmr file and click save
I don't fly Vatsim but I do fly with my friends in a group on multiplayer. Despite having the base models and injector, I am unable to see their liveries or models. How can I fix this. (I'm assuming if it works for Vatsim model matching, it should work for a private party as well?)
@@BritishAvgeek i have and its still not working. I have my game installed on a different drive then where my community file is located. Im not sure if that makes a difference
@@goldgreatdane1 nope, providing the custom vmr file is added to vpilot, and the files are active in the sim it should work fine. Beyond that, I'm not sure and you'd be best getting support directly from FSLTL
Wouldn't the Injector "conflict" with actual VATSIM traffic? Or is it clever enough to let the VATSIM injector get priority so you don't get a FSTL plane and VATSIM plane parked at the same stand?
Yes it would - only use one or the other (as I mention in the video - you either set it up and use it for Vatsim or use it for offline flying instead using the injector)
You can't sadly - if the vmr can't make it work then it'll display a generic one instead until the add-on (AIG or FSLTL etc) include the livery/model that isn't working
amazin,wonder if this will ever include helicopters,my local airport is ABZ and is probably the biggest heliport in the country,,that would be brilliant..🤔😄
Good question, keep AIG installed as I mention (with the AIG VMR file to match the files too) and then put the FSLTL vmr at the top like I showed in the video... That way if it scans the FSLTL models and can't find a match, it'll then search AIG instead as a bonus safety net
FSLTL installer does not appear allow a choice of which drive to install on? If there is no way to choose do I just move the folder from my C: drive across to my F: drive?
It's the FBW installer so it'll likely just go into the community folder

Im using FSTL injector with AIG flight models to reduce the hit on FPS..seems to work fine..just trying to figure out how to get the G.A. from AIG to show up
Looks great, but are the AI planes recognized by an ATC program (MSFS, FSHud etc. ) when flying offline ?
To my knowledge no they aren't
Great vídeo, So there is no problem with keeping Aig traffic installed and using fsltl?
Nope I use them both together using both vmr files in vPilot (as I showed in the video - FSLTL at the top)

Can we install the Injector as well as the Base Models at the same time?
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.
Yes! Good question... It'll be PA28s and so on flying VFR being fed in using the flight data 🙂 I imagine it'll be super hard to spot them though
One plane doing about 5mph on the runway to exit. Five planes did a go around.
thats a problem with MSFS ATC
I injected the traffic earlier and it’s amazing however couldn’t see any planes taxiing or landing/departing at all? Looks like same on this video? Do you know why?

Very cool. I did see you were still running your AIG matching in vPilot. Are you planning on just running FSLTL or continue with both?
As I mentioned in the video I'm keeping both for now 👍
once i downloaded the LTL, i lost some of the plane liveries that i bought thru the marketplace.. is there a reason for that?
Question, how do you turn down the volume of other aircraft when you connect to VATSIM and have fsltl installed? it’s way too loud for me
It's the found settings in the sim - can't remember precisely though
Just installed the Base Files and it works fine, also in Vasim. Just a lot Liveries are missing.
hence my advice to keep AIG installed too :)

Hello British Avgeek, my question is I do not use VATSIM and wonder if the FSTL injector uses any of AIG's aircraft or is it totally separate?
it seems FSLTL can use AIG's.
I run them both along side each other for Vatsim Modelmatching and have a vmr for each one installed
Hi there, this looks really good and a great tutorial. Does this or can it replace FS Simple Traffic?
Yup! Simple traffic also only uses the default models so this is a big improvement
Absolutely! simple traffic was a simple default model system sold as payware with liveries on it... Never been a fan of that personally myself 🙂
Goodbye AIG you were fun but your job is done now ^^
Personally I've still kept AIG too
@@BritishAvgeek Yeah I can see I was having issues with AIG and fsltl not working so I had to remove some AIG files to get fsltl to work right.
I can understand keeping AIG files for plane liveries I was at EGGD and the Easyjet a320 was fine but the a319 was just white.
Does it work with built in MSFS Live Traffic? Assume the traffic injected by the "injector' isn't recognized by built in ATC?
Believe that is the case yes it won't work with in-game ATC
It does interact for me. I was surprised when ATC told the incoming live inbound plane that I am on the runway.
So in short, is this providing the right liveries on the VATSIM aircrafts when I'm on the Vatsim network, or is it adding additional traffic .i.e real world traffic. It was not completely clear in the video ... i.e. why do I need this ? 🙂
it can do both. It can model match when in VATSIM, or if you are not on the network it can inject real world traffic. You just dont want to do both at the same time.

In which order should i set my .vrm files in vPilot, when i have British Avgeeks/AIG and ModelMatchingMagic too... Thanks!
Currently I have it in this order myself: 1 = FSLTLvmr then 2 = my british avgeek AIG vmr

What does the custom rules do?
Awesome addon but there is a problem, injector can't distinguish Anadolujet and Turkish airlines cuz both of them use THY callsign.
Unfortunately there's no way to solve that with model matching if they use the same callsign identifier
added the file. but now every time I launch MSFS, it's downloading something and updating inside the game

How to do I get it on xbox
You cant.
Do I need model matching to see other vatsimplayers ? The other day I was flying on vatsim but I only saw FSLTL traffic no vatsim players
You should disable all AI traffic injection and yes you should see other pilots on the network... But only if there are some to see of course
Can you please help me?? When I installed the fsltl, vpilot never scanned the aircraft so when I loaded to vatsim, everyone was a default a320neo
You need to go into the FSLTL files and get the .vmr file and point vpilot to it - it doesn't do it automatically
@@BritishAvgeek thank you very much for thr quick response. That shows dedication and I respect it a lot. my issue is I have 2 community folders. The first one, I do %appdata%>appdata>roaming>msfs>packages>community
There is like nothing in that folder and this is where the fsltl file went. I have another community file and I found it by going into to dev mode and using the settings stuff at the top. This is where I put all my mods. The fsltl file went to the first community file I mentioned and it didn’t work when I dropped the vmr file to custom rules. I moved the fsltl file to my other community file and dropped the vmr file into custom rules again and it worked. I was so happy when it worked. I think the issue here is that I bought fs2020 for steam and returned it and then bought it from Ms store right after. So I think that community file is for mods for steam. Tho I’m not sure, I’m new to pc. Just came from simming on Xbox and wanted to switch to pc
@@owenklein1917 make sure your extra folder is locatable by the sim and that the FSLTL package is actually being read by the sim too and loaded. You don't need to move the vmr package from the folder either, just point vpilot to the exact FSLTLRules.vmr file and click save
@@BritishAvgeek it is. That’s where all my planes and liveries are and they load in perfectly fine.
I don't fly Vatsim but I do fly with my friends in a group on multiplayer. Despite having the base models and injector, I am unable to see their liveries or models. How can I fix this. (I'm assuming if it works for Vatsim model matching, it should work for a private party as well?)
Nope I don't believe it does - multiplayer relies on the SIM feeding in its own liveries and matching it all itself from what I understand
@@BritishAvgeek Oh that's too bad
help mine works but shows vatsim traffic and a bunch of random traffic
it just gets so confusing
Firstly ensure the in-sim traffic is off and set to 0 and then ensure you are NOT running the traffic injector if you want to use Vatsim
So I want to ask does vpilot/xpilot accept more than one model matching files?(.vmr file)
Yes, I showed 3 in use at the same time in this video!
Do I have to wait till the DOS window closes itself or does it say when its ready
just leave the DOS window to run in the background
I’ve installed this but now I get crazy loud engine sounds no matter where my camera is in external or free look when connected on vpilot
check your external aircraft sound settings in the sim
Does my base model folder have to be in my community folder?
Either directly or via a symlink like using Addon Linker
im having issues with this working all the files are in the community tab like they are supposed to but vpilot still isnt picking up any new models
Have you added the vmr to vpilot? If not, it doesn't know where to look for the new models
@@BritishAvgeek i have and its still not working. I have my game installed on a different drive then where my community file is located. Im not sure if that makes a difference
@@goldgreatdane1 nope, providing the custom vmr file is added to vpilot, and the files are active in the sim it should work fine. Beyond that, I'm not sure and you'd be best getting support directly from FSLTL
@@BritishAvgeek how do i verify that the files are active in the sim?
@@goldgreatdane1 if they're in the community folder, they're active
Do I have to run it everytime with the black window open while flying?
It'll be running in the background (I was showing it to demonstrate what it is doing)
Wouldn't the Injector "conflict" with actual VATSIM traffic? Or is it clever enough to let the VATSIM injector get priority so you don't get a FSTL plane and VATSIM plane parked at the same stand?
if flying on vatsim dont use the injector thats only used for in game atc not vatsim
Yes it would - only use one or the other (as I mention in the video - you either set it up and use it for Vatsim or use it for offline flying instead using the injector)
@@BritishAvgeek thanks for explaining. I must have overheard that part in the video 😀
If i have vanilla vpilot is this a good option for model matching?
Absolutely! 😁
@@BritishAvgeek thanks for replying, Will those .vmr's cover ga like a 172, beech 18 or dc3?
@@bldsprt518 unfortunately it won't - the models/liveries need to be in FSLTL for them to match and it'll mainly cover airlines
Thanks! Subbed. Great channel.
@@bldsprt518 thanks, great to hear!
But my downloads will directly go to the community is that fine ?
Yes
How do u fix models that dont get recognised on vatsim?
You can't sadly - if the vmr can't make it work then it'll display a generic one instead until the add-on (AIG or FSLTL etc) include the livery/model that isn't working
Hi, does this also works with P3D and vPilot?
Probably not no
amazin,wonder if this will ever include helicopters,my local airport is ABZ and is probably the biggest heliport in the country,,that would be brilliant..🤔😄
What is the point of the API? What happens if you run it without entering an API?
You will still slowly see the feed of flight radar aircraft come in 👍 the API is just an extra layer
Does it not show traffic nameplates?
unfortunately not - it's not designed to work in that way I don't believe
Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. Does "keep AIG" mean to run it along with FSLTL, or just keep the AIG folder inside the Community?
hey, you need to delete the AIG community folder otherwise you will notice some problems within FSLTL.
Or even better make a Backup and test it and later decide wich one you will pick. greetings
@@Aceuchiha. Ok, thank you. I'll move it to another location
Good question, keep AIG installed as I mention (with the AIG VMR file to match the files too) and then put the FSLTL vmr at the top like I showed in the video... That way if it scans the FSLTL models and can't find a match, it'll then search AIG instead as a bonus safety net
great...
It work on my msfs
Sometimes they depart of the wrong runway
