RealTraffic 1.0 beta and updated Foreflight 2.0 beta

[Balt]

Ok, 9 seconds it is. Just to make sure we're all on the same version now, I augmented the version one build number more.

1.0.11 is now the current version

Let me know if you find anything else... :-)

Cheers

It works!

Fantastic :-)

Glad to hear that. Time soon to get this out of beta then... and listed on the addons page?

Hi Balt/Hardy,

Yes!! Thanks a lot

Glad to hear that. Time soon to get this out of beta then... and listed on the addons page?

Sure.

I just experienced a (virtual) inflight collision with an Airbus over Hong Kong. I lost 2 engines and other stuff. But the Airbus is OK :-) I was intentionally trying to get as close as possible.

Yes, now it's working for me too. This release is so much better than the previous ones. I think the ./, problem Hardy noted did the trick for me too. I see planes all around EHAM now. Great!

Thank you Balt, the latest beta is working correctly.

No apparently hiccups as of yet.

Is there anyway to integrate the coordinates of the aircraft as they are taxing on the ground (for windshield visibility, not TCAS alerts)?

Cheers!

Sure.

But the Airbus is OK :-)

Ha, now at least we know who builds the better planes  :mrgreen:

I see planes all around EHAM now. Great!

Almost ok, at the ND is fine but in Prepared 3DV2 I only see them every 9 seconds pop-up and IMMEDIATELY disappear again  ... ??

@OmniAtlas: Yes, that is likely a doable option, just a flag, I'm filtering out ground traffic at the moment. The proper way to fix this is to use the UDP messages that show ALL the traffic in the area, not just the 7 nearest ones. I've told Garry how to use that, not sure if/when he will have time to implement that.

@Nico: I just tried with FSX and I can't see any traffic. The VisualTraffic addon doesn't display anything at all in the GUI, I'm assuming it should display which traffics it is transmitting to FSX/P3D in the list 1-7 in the GUI that is empty.

You're right that every 9 seconds it looks as if it quickly displays some traffic. I don't know why it would go away if the data doesn't change. I thought PSX interpolates from the data I inject. It certainly does so on the TCAS display.

Thank you, Balt,

its working very correct now and I get nervous when trying to get into the queue for RWY34 at LOWW.

Regards Robert.

[Jeroen Hoppenbrouwers]

Robert, don't be ashamed, the others are as nervous as you when they see you coming in from the West to line up  :-)

[Balt]

@Robert: Fedex and UPS use ADS-B for self separation at some of their hubs, allowing much closer spacing than regular radar guidance. Perhaps time you started practising that to fit inbetween traffic...

Other than that, it's about time you lot started treating PSX like a real sim. No crashes allowed, treat it like the real thing!

Hi balt,

hanks very much for this addon  In Xplane with Xview I cannot see traffic either. I have draw PSX traffic enabled in Xview.

No we dont (I'm at FDX). However, the FAA did go to RECAT here in KMEM which does permit closer separation, ADS-B is not required.

Hi Doug,

interesting to hear. I was at CTI in Memphis 11 or so years ago with Alan Mullen's team working on a HF training platform. He told me they were trialling reduced separation based on self-separation using ADS-B. But now that you're saying you're not, the only reference I can find to that is indeed from a MIT thesis in 2005... so likely that never came to fruition. Surprising!

Cheers

(probably the experiment referred to on pg 36 here: http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/44935/312426317.pdf?...1)

[OmniAtlas]

Has anyone succesfully used Balt's amazing software with Garry's amazing VisualPSX, and the Live ATC Chatter software ( http://www.cielosim.com/liveatc ) ?

Regards

[Britjet]

I am only getting the "flash" of traffic every 9 seconds on FSX (actually P3D).
I haven't tried the ATC program, but now we have a live TCAS feed, and hopefully a continuous FSX feed, it would interesting to have it..

What fascinating new addons are being developed for PSX. Hardy has made it so easy for good ideas to become reality!  I am away from home but will be able to investigate how TrafficPSX could complete the picture (so to speak) in a few weeks.

Cheers,

[Balt]

Garry, at what rate are you reading PSX traffic? I could try to interpolate position information and update traffic at that same rate.

Cheers
