RELEASED: Open beta of PSXseeconTraffic

Hi,
Version 1.0.5 is available.

Bug in reading QNH from PSX (that had slipped in) fixed (resulting in better landings).
(note that PSXseeconTraffic is not dependent on the QNH in your Scenery Generator.)

Default maximum number of aircraft in your Scenery Generator changed into 50 ( and upper limit changed to 100).

Experimental: Added an option to Keep arriving aircraft parked for a while after they have disappeared from the RealTraffic Foreflight stream and they are (hopefully) at the gate.

B74X and A38X will be parked for 2 hours before disappearing; aircraft from EasyJet and Ryan Air will be parked for 35 minutes (they have a faster turn-around time), and the others for 1 hour.

This will lead to an airport with more (real) planes (!). Note this is experimental yet, have to find a way to detect whether they are really at the Gate when they disappear from Foreflight...

rgrds,
Nico

Ok, I managed to see some aircraft both in PSX and in P3D3.1. I think that there is yet something I can improve though .... here is my log:

These liveries are not completely installed in P3D. You should improve or remove.

If you choose default for the livery filter, you get WoA_DJC_A320-200_CFM_AZA-Alitalia as livery instead.

Note: you definitely need more different liveries.

Regrds,
Nico

Ok Nico, thank'you. Now I only have to find out whether those that I have are correctly iinstalled or not. But I think that they are, because I followed exactly the same procedure as with the Alitalia Livery that is showing more or less everywhere .....

Thanks

Andrea

No, I think they are not installed correctly, while SimConnect cannot create the livery in your Scenery Generator...

Hi, I found out that the only way to see liveries is to put folders like WoA_AIA_B737_W, WoA_AIA_B744_PW, WoA_AIA_B763_RR and all the other types directly in SimObjects\Airplanes and then let subfolders from different airlines merge there. The standard install of World of Airlines does not work.

Since it is quite a job, and I am not sure it is the right one, has anyone succedeed visualizing traffic in P3D3.1 using a better solution?

Thanks

Andrea

No, that's not correct. You should put all your WoAI aircraft in a separate WoAI folder under SimObjects. You should use the WoAI installer (version 2.04) and select that folder as as Output folder.
It's indeed a lot of work, can't help that. 

Make sure you have a path to WoAI in simobjects.cfg. Run VMRGenerator, copy the AI_Liveries.txt, and fly..

You should never put AI aircraft in the Airplanes folder. The airplanes folder is for "normal" aircaft such as PMDG, and so on. Aircraft that need much more cpu cycles to be shown in P3D.
Nico
P.S. there are also (payware) alternatives for WoAI.

Hi Nico

I am getting the fault message "SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_UNRECOGNIZED_ID:209, index 3 sometimes in PSXseecon.

Do you have any ideas on this, please?

Peter

Hi Peter,

No I have not, I'm sorry. I used to see that exception long time ago, but nowadays I can let run PSXseeconTraffic for hours without any problems.

Is there any clue in the PSXseeconTraffic.log file?

How are you using PSXseeconTraffic, at the same PC as P3D or remotely? I'm having P3Dv3 on one machine and PSX + PSXseeconTraffic + RealTraffic +VisualPSX on another.

Tomorrow I hope to release version 1.07, so if there are no clues you better try that one first.

Regards,
Nico

Hi Nico,

It seems to happen if I have been using another program beforehand with simconnect, such as PSXAloft, or similar.
It also seems to happen if I pause the sim for any reason, which I suppose would make sense?
I will have a look in the log file next time it happens.
I am using PSXseeconTraffic remotely from the P3d Machine.
The only difference network-wise between your setup and mine is that I have VisualPSX on the P3D machine.

I look forward to version 7.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter, in you SimConnect.xml file, did you check PSXAloft / PSXseeconTraffic / VisualPSX do not share the same port ? It could lead to conflicts. Every add-on which connects to SimConnect must have its own port.

Just an idea.
Cheers,

kiek

No, it should not. RealTraffic will continue to read the PSX lat/lon and continues to produces a stream with nearby aircraft.
You do not even have to run VisualPSX to see traffic.

No, PSXseeconTraffic uses the same port as VisualPSX by design.  Max 64 clients can use that port and each client identifies itself with it's name, so it should not lead to conflicts. At least over here it does not.

The advantage of using the same port as VisualPSX is that people will have less trouble getting PSXseeconTraffic to work. Most of them already use VisualPSX so PSXseeconTraffic will run out of the box... Getting the AI aircraft installed is already a hurdle for a lot of people.

However,Peter, to be sure you could try JP's idea to see whether that solves your problem. So add another entry to simconnect.xml, with a different port and use that port number in the SimConnect.cfg file that's in the PSXseeconTraffic folder.

rgrds,
Nico

Britjet

I have a different port set at the moment - but I will give your ideas a go. Thanks guys!

What happen if  you start PSXseeconTraffic first ?

Thank you very much for your addon. It works fine except when I start a flight from Corsica. PSXseeconTraffic hangs with the message : Traffic detected, buffering now ...
