Review seems a bit biased but that’s no surprise since you’re partnered with threshold since how biased they are as well. For $52 you get an old interface, no cargo traffic, grey liveries, erratic taxi, planes that float into the air as they take off, reverse thrust on take off, can’t see aircraft light from far away in the dark. This product is garbage
First, Threshold has nothing to do with this review or with JustFlight. Second, I paid the full price for this addon so I am under no bias or pressure to say anything I don't feel like saying. What you got is my honest opinion. Up to you to take it or not. But for you to say biased and for the reasons you mention is just ignorance. Sorry.
So there you have it everyone. Just like threshold and their new partner. Anyone with a different opinion than Q8pilots or threshold are ignorant. This is the problem I have with you or threshold. Heaven forbid ANYONE have a different opinion than you
@@Cdawg-vb7no You are entitled to your own opinion, but to call this review biased is baseless, and for you to write this comment in reply to what I had just written in response to your first comment is utter ignorance. That is of course my opinion, which just like you, I am entitled to. Correct?
Just to confirm, if you were still wondering, we (just Flight) are not partners with Q8 Pilot or Threshold. This review is a neutral review. We're glad that it's mainly positive and glad that many people are enjoying using Traffic Global to enhance their X-Plane experience. There are still issues that we are still ironing out, updates will continue to come along. Calling it garbage is fine, if that's your honest take on it, assume you're a user or have used it? You're entitled to your opinion, luckily for us it's an opinion that isn't held by the majority of users, so we're happy with that. Thank you.
I'd never seen it before. No disrespect to Q8, but I really don't like the one that I've seen. Always get ready to click by it before clicking the video to play it.
A bit late to post on this but forgive my ignorance I only just found this, glad I did as I love AI stuff in flight sim. I'm still learning how to use this but I've not fathomed out yet if say I follow an aircraft from A to B after a short time it vanishes, so am I missing something or can I follow it all the way, if so what do I need to click on to enable that?
I personally can’t thank you enough for your reviews. It is obvious by the way you speak that you are a professional educated person. You are a true asset to the sim world . If you ever stop it would be such a great loss to as all in the sim world. So please never stop. I have a problem with my frame rate and I would so love to talk to someone like you personally. I so agree with your moral ethics and standards that you request from those that leave reviews on what you do. No one has anything to complain about and should be so appreciative of your efforts and the sacrifice that you make. Please my I say thank to your family for allowing us the sim world for consuming so much of your time. Please never lose the passion for what you do for us in the sim world. I hope you read this. Kindness Regards Steve
Great review, thanks. I am currently using Live Traffic and am very pleased with it. Something must have changed since your video as Live Traffic currently gives live data for free without requiring a subscription. The data seems quite comprehensive to me. There is a subscription available to pay for which I believe may offer more extensive data. One of the things I love about Live Traffic is the ability to tune into Live ATC and hear the actual ATC in realtime with the live aircraft movements within the sim. This is quite an amazing experience. That being said I love the idea of the traffic board in Traffic Global and it seems to provide proper taxiing behaviour (unlike Live Traffic) so I am definitely tempted. I would also love to see GA (currently missing from both) and understand Just Flight are going to provide an add on for that, which would be fantastic.
does Traffic Global allows to change the weather or does it depend on having real weather enabled? because xlife quits if you re not using real weather.
4:25 Hi @Q8Pilot. I did not find an uodated video. have they improved the user interface for X-plane 12? Trying to decide on which traffic program to use. Thanks and great work!
@@Q8Pilot Awesome. Thanks. I been away from flight sim for 3 years. Rebuilding my setup and learning X-plane all over. Your videos have been an amzing resource in the process.
dose this traffic fly the entire route, or just take off and land from or to a distance like WT3? i remember in FSX that ultimate traffic, would do the entire flight!
Just to let you know that I appreciate everything you do to bring relevant content to fellow flight simmers. (already subscribed and another 'thumb up' for this one.) I already have X-Life Pro and Live Traffic but after watching this presentation, I decided to get Traffic Global and couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's was a breeze to set up (as described) and provides an instant transformation with no noticeable impact on frames albeit on a new high-end system (i9-12900K, 3090 etc). I am a huge fan of your reviews (my wife, not so) as they usually end up leaving my wallet lighter LOL....
I used World Traffic for ages and was frankly disappointed with it. I bought this and wow it was so much better. There are still issues for example at one airport jets were using one end of the runway and props were using the other and sometimes meeting on the taxi-way! I've even see one aeroplane coming in to land as another was taking off but it did wave off which was exciting to see. This is a massive improvement and feels very immersive.
Does this add on improve the behavior of ground traffic so it isn’t a chaotic mess of luggage trucks driving through each other and fuel trucks. In addition to vehicles failing to hold their roll properly during my pushback?
Hi. I saw that Traffic global is now available in Mac for XP11. As a real life SEP PPL, I am interested in GA flights. Are there also GA AI flights or not yet in the mac version? Would it be a separate product?
q8pILOT high how are you doing, I have a question which you did not cover on the review, do you know if Global Traffic is compatible with Pilot2ATC which I am sure you use, by that I mean can you see the traffic on the Pilot2ATC map etc?
As always, thank you for the review Q8!I have WT3 and even though it takes a performance hit, it's much more realistic. Looks like this program has promise but is more "zombie" like with it's traffic than WT3; which is more realistic all around. And what's with the flat take-offs? Captain K-man did a great review comparing Traffic Global to WT3; for those of you interested do a Google search since I don't believe it's on TH-cam.
How do I remove the pink/white lines that seem to follow all the aircraft in the area?
5 ปีที่แล้ว +1
maybe it's a small detail, but the aircraft takeoffs seem odd.. the angle of attack is like 0, or almost negative.. It should be about 5 or 10 degrees at least.
hi there: i just get the Global Traffic from the just flight, i have the problem , when i open the xplane 11, it say o alive aircraft, i puy my key code in still not working, it say activated code 0 need help Please Thanks.
hi there, i just get the Traffic Global for my Xplane 11, i did download when i open go to setting it say 0 active aircraft? do i have to set something ? need help Please Thanks.
So how often does it it happen when an aircraft lands on an already occupied runway? Or how many times do they taxi into each other acting like nobody is there.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 I haven't actually seen two aircraft land at the same time. I have seen them landing very close to one another. I haven't seen two planes collide on the taxiway. I have seen two collide when leaving the gate but rarely. They seem to behave very well in my opinion. No frame rate loss either and I am running full capacity traffic. The best thing is, unlike World Traffic, you don't need to ever worry about it once it is installed.
@@JeffD5691 does AI traffic actually notice the player and not collide while taxiing? Same with approach and departure? With world traffic I found myself in a 3 mile final with an AI inside me attempting to land on the same runway.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 Yes I believe it does recognise you and stops on the taxiway. They have done that for me. It may depend where you are on the taxiway. Not with approach/departure. You can land right on top of another plane. I am using P2ATC and that does not recognise the AI traffic yet. Not sure about standard X-Plane 11 ATC though. I am currently doing a YSSY-YPAD flight and did notice a couple of things - one plane taxiing backwards (lol), two planes did collide at an intersection on the taxiway and one plane landing through the trees at YSSY. Still very happy with it.
@@JeffD5691 nice! And lol! I guess if I really wanted traffic not colliding I should go to vatsim...but my radio phraseology is the worst and find myself not understanding commands from atc.
You missed looking exactly at X-Life as it in fact has implemented a real airport flight time schedule! Further on I am missing air traffic meaning to see in the sky all those airplanes arriving or departing (at least from viewpoint of the control tower). I am missing also lively aircraft movements on the parking lots and of course pushback movements. Traffic Global is in my opinion in a Beta stage presenting very poor visual movements (like at the desolated Dubai airport) but yet not worth to spend $50....
This is why you are the best Reviewer on You Tube for Flight Sim products. This an excellent program and I agree about the XP10 interface,if you're going to charge $52 for a program it should be current. The small irregularities are not a deal killer. I haven't used any of the other traffic programs but the selling feature I like is the "install automatically" benefit. Thanks my friend for bringing this product to our attention. As always a great, honest real world review. Take care my friend
I have been involved in the QA for this product for several months now and I can tell you that GA traffic is not available yet. It will be added in a future release or as an add-on package which is yet to be determined. I just saw a post by Just Flight that GA traffic will be a free update.
Wow, another really great review. I've also have the other three options you talk about, but I really don't like any of them fully. After seeing this video I will definitely buy this one. Tnx again for excellent content to help us all out here :)
All nice and dandy, but you did not cover if the AI respect the taxi way of the user in other words, does AI runs over the user aircraft? like World traffic us to and some times does depending on the ridiculous setting?
I bought Traffic Global, but I'm very dissapointed with the TCAS integration. Live Traffic (Free plugin) does a much better job with that. On top of this, I had alot of problems with their sounds giving me problems with cockpit sounds on my ToliSS
You sure? The TCAS integration works fine for most and has been lauded as a good feature. Sounds from TG giving issues?? That's new too. Feel free to get in touch with support who will help you out.
@@justflight Yes I'm sure - I uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times. The sounds for vspeedcallouts (LUA) is not there when installed, even with sounds turned off, but when uninstalled everything works. What I mean with the TCAS is that you manually have to add the planes from the X-plane menu, instead of they just show up. But I will reach out for support :-)
It is true that this addon is very well done. The planes are very well modeled. However, an ATC integration is missing. Indeed, how to integrate into a large traffic with our own plane? Thank you for this presentation.
I bought sooner today and it's amazing. Easy on FPS and plenty airplanes in the skies. I was using LiveTraffic which is a great idea but I almost never saw an AI aircraft except flying on heavy traffic airports and there's no ground traffic. TG is a bit expensive for my dollar exchange but I'm fully satisfied. This sort of air traffic should be in vanilla XP11.
Nice video and thanks for the review. There are still many bugs with the AI models and behavior of the taxiing Aircraft at times, where global traffic does shine is in terms of performance, 5/5 for performance imo, but for 52 dollars the product is absolutely not worth it, X-Life offers an amazing alternative with much more realistic aircraft sounds and better behavior on the taxiway (at times lol). All in all there’s just not 52 dollars worth of product there, there is potential for the future but then again by that time MS2020 will be released and then we will hopefully see some proper AI traffic as an addon.
Hello, Does Traffic global simulates traffic during cruise phase of flight ? I mean when you’re far from your departure & arrival airports or over the Atlantic Ocean Thanks for the replies ! Best regards
Just flight released a large update last Friday that fixed most AI issues. They also made the light drawing distance much much higher and added specific landing lights and taxi lights instead of having just one light for both The fact that they even have military traffic but no cargo traffic is really confusing to me. But everybody has his own priorities. They also added a few cargo liveries so freight traffic might come very soon
I wish you would stop using Max textures with no compression, its completely unnecessary unless you are developing scenery! Other than that, great video as always
WT3 required that airports have grounds routes (this was in the airport design). People went to a lot trouble to provide this forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/category/159-world-traffic-ground-routes/. Does Traffic Global need this information as well?
No ATC Integration ruins it for me - therefore I use X-life deluxe with its bespoke ATC module - the traffic may not be as realistic but it's much more rounded and less expensive
The issue is that it seems the ai doesn't follow real sids and stars like xlife and unlike wt3. I own xlife and the main reason why I stopped using it 2 years ago is that planes just popped up on final in a straight line maybe 5 miles from the runway. So at LOWI for example that means planes spawn inside mountains and fly just the final straight. WT3's ai follow navigraph charts. One thing I have noticed is, the animation for takeoffs in TG seem too scripted. Wind doesn't seem to have any effect on how the Ai takeoff (pushed to the left or to the right). Always a straight perfect line. Plug and play maybe better, but as far as realism, WT3 once understood and after some (too much) editing seems better. Either way great video.
Agree completely. I have WT3 and even though it takes a performance hit, it's much more realistic. Looks like this program has promise but is more "zombie" like than WT3 which is more realistic all around. And what's with the flat take-off? Captain K-man did a great review comparing Traffic Global to WT3.
If that doesn’t work, go to your joystick settings, pick a button then open that setting assignment window and find TG then the toggle labels. Pick that, make sure that button/etc is assigned then back out and save. Took me awhile to figure it out when the insert toggle didn’t do jack. Plus, that turned out to be a completely different type of label when it did work while in keyboard settings. So joystick was the right choice. Good luck. 🍀
I really appreciate your videos and enjoy every one of them. Keep it up! Dynamic Density in Settings. "When this is switched on, the level of AI Traffic will be continually monitored and if necessary, reduced if your PC's processor is not able to maintain all the active traffic". (Manual)
Looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing! How is the behavior of the AI planes around you? One gripe I have about World Traffic is that they basically ignore you, which means they can pass through you and just follow their pre-determined paths.
Where did Just Flight get the schedules from? They have to update them. United and Delta have long gone stopped flying into DXB and Air New Zealand doesn't fly to DXB either. Lufthansa, Iran air and Ethiopian never park at concourse A. Just to say a few. By the way, I really appreciate the effort you put into all of your reviews! Looking forward to more! keep it up!
Hi Crosscheck, big fan of yours here. Question: Does this program recognize gates where you have static aircraft? One of my pet peeves with other programs like WT3 and X-life, is when they drop planes on top of parked planes. Also, since Overlay Editor no longer works with the latest x-plane update, there's no way to remove static aircraft. I know there is WED but I've never figured out how to work it. Not user friendly at all. Keep em coming.
hi Q8Pilot First of all, Thanks for this presentation and your comparizon with other payware & Freeware competitor as usual , your quality video and comments on the product you test are great but i have a critizen on the product , the interest for me is not to have traffic ai outside video , but what i see in my own cockpit with aircraft around me moving in the diiferent step of a flight , on ground at park and taxi , departure , climb, cruze , descent , approach , landing , taxing to Stand and stop based on your video, this program seems for me only a Outside camera viewer to see nicely airport activity, but maybe am i wrong best regards Thierry
Turns need to be smoother and adding freighters and such liveries etc would be great other than that this is great value for the money and the plugin is getting updates as well! great visuals textures sounds overall a great product! well done.
May need to give it a bit of time to populate. If still no joy check the product page FAQ's and if no joy then open a support ticket with our team who will help you out.
It’s good if you’re just watching the AI do its thing but how can you review it without trying to operate inside it. There are a metric ton of bugs and issues
Im reading all this opinion stuff, JMO Q8Pilot puts a lot of effort in his productions and I for one really appriciate that, him, he gives me a window to look at new products and a multitude of other things, maybe the opinionated people should produce there own videos and give us their take on these products so we can see why something is not up to there standards, to condem something without backing it up with verifiable data is" garbage"
No wonder why he left and stopped making videos. I had no idea how bad it was. Some in the flight sim community are pretty toxic. Like a bunch of children arguing over crayons. Accusing Q8pilot of getting "bought out" by big companies. Your comment is spot on, Joeseph.
Very intersting review as usual ;) It seems to be a very interesting product. Is there any conflict between your aircraft and AI airliners ? How does ATC works with AI and player aicraft ?
Like World Traffic, the XP ATC and programs like FSTramp or Plan-G don't see any of the injected traffic. You see it and that is it. I have some very unrealistic conflicts while taxing. [EDIT] By checking TCAS in the settings and adding AI aircraft, it does display up to 20 a/c to where ATC sees them and so do moving maps programs.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive review! To bad there the AI-planes and ground-vehicles do not have shadows on the floor (as known in X-Plane), reminding us that it's only computer- not real world, it's a bit of a "toy-feeling". Is the traffic solely based on the schedules, not the real movements, for instance based on real world radar (Flightradar24 or so)?
That's correct,..the A.I do not follow real-world SIDS and STARS. It's just a load of random fiction. If you want traffic realism, then it has to be World Traffic 3.
@@Cloudybox12 Yeah,.. You're right about that. From what I've learnt is that WT3 does have more of a performance hit whereas Gloabl is more FPS friendly
Yes for sure as that will be a whole chunk of new work and development time required for that version. That said there's no guarantee of a version for FS2020 as we've had no contact with the developers of that as yet, despite our best efforts.

The sounds for vspeedcallouts (LUA) is not there when installed, even with sounds turned off, but when uninstalled everything works. What I mean with the TCAS is that you manually have to add the planes from the X-plane menu, instead of they just show up. But I will reach out for support :-)
It is true that this addon is very well done. The planes are very well modeled.
However, an ATC integration is missing. Indeed, how to integrate into a large traffic with our own plane?
Thank you for this presentation.
I bought sooner today and it's amazing. Easy on FPS and plenty airplanes in the skies. I was using LiveTraffic which is a great idea but I almost never saw an AI aircraft except flying on heavy traffic airports and there's no ground traffic. TG is a bit expensive for my dollar exchange but I'm fully satisfied. This sort of air traffic should be in vanilla XP11.
Works with vulkan?
Random and super late question, but what clouds are you using because they look great!
Nice video and thanks for the review. There are still many bugs with the AI models and behavior of the taxiing Aircraft at times, where global traffic does shine is in terms of performance, 5/5 for performance imo, but for 52 dollars the product is absolutely not worth it, X-Life offers an amazing alternative with much more realistic aircraft sounds and better behavior on the taxiway (at times lol). All in all there’s just not 52 dollars worth of product there, there is potential for the future but then again by that time MS2020 will be released and then we will hopefully see some proper AI traffic as an addon.
Hello,
Does Traffic global simulates traffic during cruise phase of flight ? I mean when you’re far from your departure & arrival airports or over the Atlantic Ocean
Thanks for the replies !
Best regards
Just flight released a large update last Friday that fixed most AI issues.
They also made the light drawing distance much much higher and added specific landing lights and taxi lights instead of having just one light for both
The fact that they even have military traffic but no cargo traffic is really confusing to me.
But everybody has his own priorities.
They also added a few cargo liveries so freight traffic might come very soon
My fps drops from 30 to 20-23 every time I approach an airport with at least 20 aircraft :( Please help!
2:10 Wait, TARMAC? Bruh no saying that lol! Great vid
Now great. I get this in my recommendations right after I bought World Traffic 3.
I wish you would stop using Max textures with no compression, its completely unnecessary unless you are developing scenery! Other than that, great video as always
How do I fly the aircrafts on traffic global?
Does Traffic Global replace default X-Plane traffic, or add to it?
It is a total revamp of the Traffic. X-Plane traffic does not exist really.
WT3 required that airports have grounds routes (this was in the airport design). People went to a lot trouble to provide this forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/category/159-world-traffic-ground-routes/. Does Traffic Global need this information as well?
Hi there i'm back to let u know it's working now, But why they keep crash? any idea? Thanks.
Great Review. I will be purchasing this product....Thanks
No ATC Integration ruins it for me - therefore I use X-life deluxe with its bespoke ATC module - the traffic may not be as realistic but it's much more rounded and less expensive
PILOT2ATC shows the AI aircraft and the control gives you traffic alerts.
Does traffic vectors avoid mountains? And it works well in south east asia?
Yes and yes
The issue is that it seems the ai doesn't follow real sids and stars like xlife and unlike wt3. I own xlife and the main reason why I stopped using it 2 years ago is that planes just popped up on final in a straight line maybe 5 miles from the runway. So at LOWI for example that means planes spawn inside mountains and fly just the final straight. WT3's ai follow navigraph charts. One thing I have noticed is, the animation for takeoffs in TG seem too scripted. Wind doesn't seem to have any effect on how the Ai takeoff (pushed to the left or to the right). Always a straight perfect line. Plug and play maybe better, but as far as realism, WT3 once understood and after some (too much) editing seems better. Either way great video.
Agree completely. I have WT3 and even though it takes a performance hit, it's much more realistic. Looks like this program has promise but is more "zombie" like than WT3 which is more realistic all around. And what's with the flat take-off? Captain K-man did a great review comparing Traffic Global to WT3.
@@SimFanatic I searched for K-Man's video you speak of but didn't find it. Is it on youtube or elsewhere?

Привет! Подскажите пожалуста, возможно ли изменить рассписания и маршруты некоторых авиакомпаний в этом трафике? И если да, то как?
this program have a control traffic???
I couldn't find how to update the plugin. Can you tell how it works plss?
Just purchased it..Thx for the review.
How do you turn the A.I labels off completely? Also what payware OMDB is that?
PRess insert
@@clubseven thanks man! Should have checked the key bindings really lol
If that doesn’t work, go to your joystick settings, pick a button then open that setting assignment window and find TG then the toggle labels. Pick that, make sure that button/etc is assigned then back out and save. Took me awhile to figure it out when the insert toggle didn’t do jack. Plus, that turned out to be a completely different type of label when it did work while in keyboard settings. So joystick was the right choice. Good luck. 🍀
I really appreciate your videos and enjoy every one of them. Keep it up! Dynamic Density in Settings. "When this is switched on, the level of AI Traffic will be continually monitored and if necessary, reduced if your PC's processor is not able to maintain all the active traffic". (Manual)
Does this have traffic at both departure and arrival flights like WT3?
Yes Furman, it does.
Thanks for the review, very much appreciated.
Hi. Great review. Before I buy this, do I need to get rid of xlife? I am wondering if they will conflict with each other..
Looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing! How is the behavior of the AI planes around you? One gripe I have about World Traffic is that they basically ignore you, which means they can pass through you and just follow their pre-determined paths.
Where did Just Flight get the schedules from? They have to update them. United and Delta have long gone stopped flying into DXB and Air New Zealand doesn't fly to DXB either. Lufthansa, Iran air and Ethiopian never park at concourse A. Just to say a few. By the way, I really appreciate the effort you put into all of your reviews! Looking forward to more! keep it up!
Will be updated soon Ivan.
Good video!
May I ask you a question?
Does Traffic global have an integrated ATC System?
This traffic appears on TCAS?
did you try free scenery? i want to make sure that it will work with free scenary before purchasing
Hi Crosscheck, big fan of yours here. Question: Does this program recognize gates where you have static aircraft? One of my pet peeves with other programs like WT3 and X-life, is when they drop planes on top of parked planes. Also, since Overlay Editor no longer works with the latest x-plane update, there's no way to remove static aircraft. I know there is WED but I've never figured out how to work it. Not user friendly at all. Keep em coming.
hi Q8Pilot
First of all, Thanks for this presentation and your comparizon with other payware & Freeware competitor
as usual , your quality video and comments on the product you test are great but i have a critizen on the product , the interest for me is not to have traffic ai outside video , but what i see in my own cockpit with aircraft around me moving in the diiferent step of a flight , on ground at park and taxi , departure , climb, cruze , descent , approach , landing , taxing to Stand and stop
based on your video, this program seems for me only a Outside camera viewer to see nicely airport activity, but maybe am i wrong
best regards
Thierry
Amazing , amazing video , thanks for explain this amazing plugin , I’m going to buy it now ! 😄
better safe your money!
Pete Michel why?
Pete Michel why ?
cos it´s not worth it, too expensive. Too many bugs,i bought it I am not satisfied
Pete Michel Maybe you should pick another hobby.
How do you find out what airports it supports?
Hi, thank you for the video review. Please, I have a question, the planes included are only animated or can you play with them?
Turns need to be smoother and adding freighters and such liveries etc would be great other than that this is great value for the money and the plugin is getting updates as well! great visuals textures sounds overall a great product! well done.
So i bought this product after activating this product and i have restarted X-plane 11, i dont have any traffic at all. Any ideas ???
May need to give it a bit of time to populate. If still no joy check the product page FAQ's and if no joy then open a support ticket with our team who will help you out.
hey what is the name of your intro music ?
It is probably to early but will it work with x-plane 12?
If it works with Vulkan it should work in xp12.
Which airport is that at :45? And 22:35?
Dubai
It's a good product and a great review.
Which skycolors do you use my friend?
Thabks buddy, I use XVision vivid preset.
hey, great video, I have one question: does it include ATC and if not, is it compatible with any ATC plugin? Thanks
Great review. I just wish TG would give gate assignments.
It’s good if you’re just watching the AI do its thing but how can you review it without trying to operate inside it. There are a metric ton of bugs and issues
Hey, how do you remove the aircraft labels? I see the adjustment for the size but no option to remove. Great vid Q8Pilot! Keep up the good work!
Press "INS" twice on your keyboard. Insert button.
Omg. I've spent a few hours trying to get rid of the labels. Hahaha! Thank you sir!
Good video, but I would have preferred to see traffic types at a few more than two airports in this review. also ga airport such as EGLK
Other videos out there showing other airports and traffic. GA will follow as an update, free of charge.
Love your channel. Thank you
Im reading all this opinion stuff, JMO Q8Pilot puts a lot of effort in his productions and I for one really appriciate that, him, he gives me a window to look at new products and a multitude of other things, maybe the opinionated people should produce there own videos and give us their take on these products so we can see why something is not up to there standards, to condem something without backing it up with verifiable data is" garbage"
I love his videos. Have saved me some money in the past because of his frankness. His "opinions / views" is valuable in our community. Thanks Q8.
No wonder why he left and stopped making videos. I had no idea how bad it was. Some in the flight sim community are pretty toxic. Like a bunch of children arguing over crayons. Accusing Q8pilot of getting "bought out" by big companies. Your comment is spot on, Joeseph.
Anyone can help me please I just download Global traffic, but keep crashing any idea how to setup Let me know Thanks.
It could be your AV software. Try disabling AV and attempt the install. If it doesn't work, contact JustFlight for support.
I did, but still do that Thanks
Thanks for this video. Very interesting to get all Your informations.
Does it, or any live traffic software coordinate with atc (whether default or add on atc software)? Great review, thank you.
Does it simulate GA at small airfields ?
Nope
Something they all seem to miss out on. Not everyone flys the tubes 😞
I miss him already :(
Lmao
How is the impact on FPS? Great video, btw!
Sir can we add more airports? If yes can I do it?
Very intersting review as usual ;) It seems to be a very interesting product. Is there any conflict between your aircraft and AI airliners ? How does ATC works with AI and player aicraft ?
Like World Traffic, the XP ATC and programs like FSTramp or Plan-G don't see any of the injected traffic. You see it and that is it. I have some very unrealistic conflicts while taxing.
[EDIT] By checking TCAS in the settings and adding AI aircraft, it does display up to 20 a/c to where ATC sees them and so do moving maps programs.
It’s amazing what happens when people read the manual
@@Cloudybox12 Manual? We don't need no stinking manual!
look at the number 2 engine on the ryanair 737 at 10:56
Thank you very much for this comprehensive review! To bad there the AI-planes and ground-vehicles do not have shadows on the floor (as known in X-Plane), reminding us that it's only computer- not real world, it's a bit of a "toy-feeling".
Is the traffic solely based on the schedules, not the real movements, for instance based on real world radar (Flightradar24 or so)?
That's correct,..the A.I do not follow real-world SIDS and STARS. It's just a load of random fiction. If you want traffic realism, then it has to be World Traffic 3.
Stringbean With crappy performance to go with it
@@Cloudybox12
Yeah,.. You're right about that. From what I've learnt is that WT3 does have more of a performance hit whereas Gloabl is more FPS friendly
There are shadows. Maybe switched off?
If you get it now will you have to pay again to get a fs2020 version
Yes for sure as that will be a whole chunk of new work and development time required for that version. That said there's no guarantee of a version for FS2020 as we've had no contact with the developers of that as yet, despite our best efforts.
JustFlight ok thanks
Night lightning?
Night lighting is in and looks great, but I'm not sure it has been released because I QA the product.
