Latest Update: 2024/09/06

The below log shows all updates for this product since release:

v1.1.0217

This release contains bugfixes and new features for X-Plane 12.

There is also a readme "Resources\plugins\Traffic Global\Resources\AIFP Readme.txt", with details of some new features to help AIFP users create new schedule files. This was added last-minute so is not in the full manual.

Upgrading

=========

For Windows, simply run the installer. There is no need to manually uninstall beforehand. For Mac, please remove the "Aircraft/Traffic Global" folder before unarchiving since aircraft names may change over time, and unpacking an archive does not remove files that should no longer exist.

If you have replaced your traffic file (.BGL) you will need to check the replacement for yourself; the traffic file changes with almost every release and will be updated or replaced if it is changed or missing.

Multiple Copies

===============

Since the Mac version is distributed in a simple zip file, it is possible to just unzip it into more than one location. This does waste some diskspace, of course. For Windows, the standard Windows installer only allows a single copy of any program to be installed. This means you need to manually copy the installed files into any second location you need. The directories to copy are:

- <X-Plane>/Aircraft/Traffic Global

- <X-Plane>/Resources/plugins/Traffic Global

For both Mac and Windows, it is more efficient to use links instead of copies. The exact commands will vary depending on the locations of your two X-Plane installations, but in general, on both platforms it needs to be done from the command-line and will use the command "ln" on Mac and "mklink" on Windows.

Compatibility

=============

This build has been tested against X-Plane 11.55 and X-Plane 12.1.2b1 and works against each in both OpenGL (in X-Plane 11) and Vulkan/Metal modes (both 11 and 12) on both Mac and Windows.

Many other plugins have been tested as part of this update. There are no known compatibility problems with current versions of any of the following:

124thATC, A-Better-Camera, Autogate, AviTab, BetterPushback, JoinFS, Gizmo64*, SAM, TerrainRadar, xEnviro, ActiveSky XP*, X-ATC-Chatter, X-Camera*, XPForce.

Please note that some versions of xPilot crash X-Plane on startup if Traffic Global is installed and TCAS enabled, due to incorrect shutdown of xPilot when it detects that the TCAS system is already in use.

ActiveSky XP v7414 causes a crash if used with X-Plane 11.50b7 or higher when TCAS is enabled. Version 7467 or better should be used.

Integration with SAM for active jetways requires SAM 2.0.8 or higher.

X-Camera 2.4 unintentionally disables certain custom cameras provided by other plugins including Traffic Global. A fix for this - 2.4.1 beta 2 - is already available.

A-Better-Camera v1.3b3 (now released) is required for users who are using this version of TGXP with Vulkan and the latest XP11.50 betas.

Many versions of XPUIPC are known to cause crashes, especially but not exclusively when TCAS is enabled, due to changes in the way that X-Plane supports TCAS in X-Plane 11.50. This is NOT a problem in Traffic Global.

Known Problems

==============

- If you are using an external weather engine such as xEnviro with X-Plane 11, correct weather may not be set for a minute or so after the simulator starts. This will affect runway-in-use for aircraft initialised during this period.

- Custom views do not respond correctly in VR. This is X-Plane bug XPD-10412.

- Labels are not drawn in VR in X-Plane 12.

- Replays are not loaded or saved due to restrictions with X-Plane.

- Aircraft animations are not correct during replay. This is X-Plane bug ???-?????.

- Aircraft lights which flash (strobes/beacons) have incorrect frequencies when the aircraft is moving. This is a bug in X-Plane 11 and 12 which is fixed internally for 12, and awaiting release.

- Aircraft lights are barely visible during the day in X-Plane 12. This is a bug in X-Plane 12 which is fixed internally for 12, and awaiting release.

Changes in this version:

========================

- Potential fix for rare crashes

- Lights should now be seen at a distance.

- Fix incorrect speed immediately after touchdown introduced in 1.1.0199

- Change pitch on approach and departure

- Fix pivot point during taxi

- Increase deployment of flaps on takeoff, and deploy flaps earlier.

v1.1.0199 - 2024/03/05

- If very few aircraft are nearby, additional false aircraft are reported via TCAS. This is X-Plane bug XPD-10434 and is fixed in X-Plane 11.50.

Changes in this version:

========================

- Potential fix for rare crashes

- Published datarefs were broken

- Fix labels appearing on all monitors

- Updated German translation

- Fix tuning of 8.33KHz airport frequencies from 25KHz radios

- Fix performance drop with Flight Factor A350 and potentially others

- Add option to disable Traffic Global when the "RELEASE_AIRCRAFT" message is received from another plugin instead of just disabling TCAS

- Fix a rare crash when calculating taxi routes

- Change the radiobutton appearance slightly to make it more different from switches.

- Add Escape as a hotkey to all windows to close them.

- Allow windows to be opened/closed using the mapped key even if a window currently has keyboard focus

- Aircraft taxying out to a runway with a displaced threshold and multiple viable entrances could under some circumstances make the final leg of the route unusable for other aircraft.

- Aircraft on go-around will clear the runway line sooner

- Allow aircraft on runways to taxi faster

- Airborne GA were located too close to airports when the sim started

- Taxying aircraft could get too close on 90 degree corners

v1.0.9113 (Windows & MAC)

- Transitions between certain go-around/circuit legs are not smooth.
- Airports with poorly-defined taxi routes may still use unnecessarily sharp corners.
- If you are using an external weather engine such as xEnviro, correct weather may not be set for a minute or so after the simulator starts. This will affect runway-in-use for aircraft initialised during this period.
- The custom map layers will re-enable themselves if you disable them, each time X-Plane loads new scenery. This is X-Plane bug XPD-10498 and can not be worked around.
- Custom views do not respond correctly in VR. This is X-Plane bug XPD-10412.
- If very few aircraft are nearby, additional false aircraft are reported via TCAS. This is X-Plane bug XPD-10434.
 - Wind direction at airports can still cause the runway-in-use to change far too often with variable winds being fed to X-Plane from external weather systems. A fix for this is under development but is much more involved than it seems, and is not yet ready for release. Please bear with me!
