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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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 RUclips.
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.
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....
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.
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.
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.
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 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
Little Trivial But Important N otes: Landing lights should Be "ON" for AI Aircraft taking off,...Should be Considered...esp. after paying $$ for this ADD-ON !!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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....
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.
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 :-)
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?
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!
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.
@@JeffDenham5691 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.
@@JeffDenham5691 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.
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
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.
Hello Q8, thanks a lot for your reviews as usual amazing in terms of video quality, sound, and text. I bought TG for XP. I installed it very well on my XP following the manual. However, on Geneva LSGG payware by pilot+ which is the best scenery for airport and region (city, lake, boats, etc...). There is another amazing scenery made by Omar Masroor, but there is only the airport and not the city. Anyway, I tested Traffic global, on both sceneries, but it did not work well. Planes land then, they roll a little on runway and disappear. No traffic on the the tarmac and taxiways, the planes appear on the runway and take off. So, I tried many settings, always following the manual. As Geneva is MY city, I was very disapointed by this program and asked a refund. They refunded me quickly. I reinstalled my World Traffic 3.0 (WT3) and all is OK. I have a real traffic. I dont understand what happens with TG. I think that it works well on very big american airports, or big cities airports worldwide, but not in Geneva and maybe in small cities. ;)
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)
Really like you and value your opinions...but i cant agree with you when you say this is the best Ai plugin for X-plane! WT3 is way better, more workload to put it working like it should be, no doubt, but dozens of things that WT3 can do very well that this one doesn't...of course this is a new product and can achieve that better AI plugin status, but not for now, sorry.
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?
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.
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?
Great review as usual. I have seem some people post on FB that this software is crashing their sims. Still not sure If i want to pay 52 for this when some ppl are reporting sim crashes.
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.
This is definitely worth it and I can say that I saw no performance drop with the density to the max. The only thing that's annoying is that it likes to place parked ai planes all the gates at most airports especially at night/in the evening; it would be cool if they could integrate some type of way where you could select the gate you plan to arrive to in the menu and it won't place an AI there.
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?
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?
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
just now bought the add on and it is amazing, i have world traffic and xlife, and let me tell you that this add on is way much better,, the downside is the price, i think is too pricey..
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
Excellent and informative! You’ve sold me Mr Q8! I’m hoping it becomes available on the org site before I purchase tho since having all purchases in one place saves much hassle if a problem arises.
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.
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.
it still has the main problem that plagues every traffic add-on. Overlapping aircraft. That kills it for me. Also if the airport Dev did not take the time to set taxi routes and Gates on web this add-on is useless to you. $52.99 for overlapping aircraft....pass
I think it is unfair to berate a product because the airport is badly designed. If ramps are placed too close to each other the aircraft will overlap to a degree. However, there is a limit that will prevent obvious overlap. One advantage to this product is that you can use WorldEditor to make corrections to any airport and Traffic Global will automatically use the corrections you have made the next time you start X-Plane.
@@stevewilliams3697 at the end of the day, if one does not have wed knowledge, the add-on will not work properly with airports that were half-assed by their Dev. Those are facts. The overlapping I was talking about is not at the gate. I'm talking about approach and arrivals.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 Overlapping is being looked at and we hope to get it sorted in an update. Not as easy as it seems though, but we will be trying to improve that side of things.
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
I actaully like it verry much i will buy when i will have chance but i wanna ask like if u can like only watch planes like u dont have time for u to actually control one just to like watch ai planes for 40 mins or soo is that possible to like only watch planes not for u too control them and i only think that its kinda still not that busy if it live cuz on dubai there is aircrafts going up and down every 40 second i mean idk if u paused it or it is like in real life that u can watch planes. And one question for justflight i mean its just cuz i like that but i wanna ask if this will came out in future soo u can see like aircrafts in the air and u can like watch the full route of airplane and stuff like that cuz it would be awesome even now its soo enjooyable sadly i cant buy it rn but i will in future both x-plane and this pluggin keep good work Q8 with vids and JustFlight on updates ;)
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?

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.

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?

@@vasily2022 Here is a link: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/193420-captain-k-man-traffic-global-review/
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.
It works well with either user defined weather or real weather.
@@stevewilliams3697 awesome! Thanks for the reply! Do you also know if the active runway in use will be changed sometimes due to wind and stuff?
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.
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.
We know, are aware of it and are looking to tweak it.
Great review my friend. I always appreciate your honesty. Take care.
2:10 Wait, TARMAC? Bruh no saying that lol! Great vid
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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....
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.
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 I cant get TCAS to work. What am I missing?
@@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 :-)
Great Review. I will be purchasing this product....Thanks
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?
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.
What about GA?
I will purchase it, if we can get GA. I want to take off from KKLS and line up behind a 152 before takeoff.
GA to follow in an update early next year.
14:04 taking of from the gate? I have this program and I like it.
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.
@@JeffDenham5691 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.
@@JeffDenham5691 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.
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
It's a good product and a great review.
Which skycolors do you use my friend?
Thabks buddy, I use XVision vivid preset.
Hi, thank you for the video review. Please, I have a question, the planes included are only animated or can you play with them?
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!
Interface the same but they brought xp12 compatibility. By far the best AI traffic for xp12.
@@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.
Hello Q8, thanks a lot for your reviews as usual amazing in terms of video quality, sound, and text. I bought TG for XP. I installed it very well on my XP following the manual. However, on Geneva LSGG payware by pilot+ which is the best scenery for airport and region (city, lake, boats, etc...). There is another amazing scenery made by Omar Masroor, but there is only the airport and not the city. Anyway, I tested Traffic global, on both sceneries, but it did not work well. Planes land then, they roll a little on runway and disappear. No traffic on the the tarmac and taxiways, the planes appear on the runway and take off. So, I tried many settings, always following the manual. As Geneva is MY city, I was very disapointed by this program and asked a refund. They refunded me quickly. I reinstalled my World Traffic 3.0 (WT3) and all is OK. I have a real traffic. I dont understand what happens with TG. I think that it works well on very big american airports, or big cities airports worldwide, but not in Geneva and maybe in small cities. ;)
So does this use live traffic or just use the schedule (like WT3)
Good video!
May I ask you a question?
Does Traffic global have an integrated ATC System?
Wow thats suprised, never alone again
Thanks for the review, very much appreciated.
and what's with the open engines at 22:25 ??
how does the integration with your aircraft work? do the AI traffic aircraft just ignore your aircraft and pass through it?
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)
Just purchased it..Thx for the review.
Random and super late question, but what clouds are you using because they look great!
i have aerosoft dublin v2 but the ai traffic uses both runway 34 and 28 when the wind favors 28? what do i do?
Thanks for this video. Very interesting to get all Your informations.
Really like you and value your opinions...but i cant agree with you when you say this is the best Ai plugin for X-plane! WT3 is way better, more workload to put it working like it should be, no doubt, but dozens of things that WT3 can do very well that this one doesn't...of course this is a new product and can achieve that better AI plugin status, but not for now, sorry.
Appreciate you taking the the time to share your opinion.
a smooth ryanair landing?
THATS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WHAT
22:39 taking off with thrust reverse deployed?
Mr Taylor, f....k yeah 😀
does it generate GA traffic too ? And does it works under 11.5b10 vulkan ?
+1
i think that is a good feature..GENIUS...
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?
Great review. I just wish TG would give gate assignments.
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!
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!
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?
Great review as usual. I have seem some people post on FB that this software is crashing their sims. Still not sure If i want to pay 52 for this when some ppl are reporting sim crashes.
It’s fixed with the recent update
Could you elaborate on the "Synthetic GA" aircraft?
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.
This is definitely worth it and I can say that I saw no performance drop with the density to the max. The only thing that's annoying is that it likes to place parked ai planes all the gates at most airports especially at night/in the evening; it would be cool if they could integrate some type of way where you could select the gate you plan to arrive to in the menu and it won't place an AI there.
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.
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?
look at the number 2 engine on the ryanair 737 at 10:56
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..
hey, great video, I have one question: does it include ATC and if not, is it compatible with any ATC plugin? Thanks
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.
Does it, or any live traffic software coordinate with atc (whether default or add on atc software)? Great review, thank you.
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?
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?
Its still the best!❤
How is the impact on FPS? Great video, btw!
Do the other traffic interact with you?what if you are sin short final?should I expect they hold on?
just now bought the add on and it is amazing, i have world traffic and xlife, and let me tell you that this add on is way much better,, the downside is the price, i think is too pricey..
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
Is there any ATC aware of global traffic AI planes?
Excellent and informative! You’ve sold me Mr Q8! I’m hoping it becomes available on the org site before I purchase tho since having all purchases in one place saves much hassle if a problem arises.
How do I remove the pink/white lines that seem to follow all the aircraft in the area?
Great video! By the way, what cloud representation were you using for this?
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.
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.
Love your channel. Thank you
it still has the main problem that plagues every traffic add-on. Overlapping aircraft. That kills it for me. Also if the airport Dev did not take the time to set taxi routes and Gates on web this add-on is useless to you. $52.99 for overlapping aircraft....pass
I think it is unfair to berate a product because the airport is badly designed. If ramps are placed too close to each other the aircraft will overlap to a degree. However, there is a limit that will prevent obvious overlap. One advantage to this product is that you can use WorldEditor to make corrections to any airport and Traffic Global will automatically use the corrections you have made the next time you start X-Plane.
@@stevewilliams3697 at the end of the day, if one does not have wed knowledge, the add-on will not work properly with airports that were half-assed by their Dev. Those are facts. The overlapping I was talking about is not at the gate. I'm talking about approach and arrivals.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 Overlapping is being looked at and we hope to get it sorted in an update. Not as easy as it seems though, but we will be trying to improve that side of things.
did you try free scenery? i want to make sure that it will work with free scenary before purchasing
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
alright here goes my wallet, seems they improved alot since release
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.
bruh the cost of this is almost similar to the price of the whole simulator what nonsense is this
there are planes that cost more than the simulator
wild
My fps drops from 30 to 20-23 every time I approach an airport with at least 20 aircraft :( Please help!
I actaully like it verry much i will buy when i will have chance but i wanna ask like if u can like only watch planes like u dont have time for u to actually control one just to like watch ai planes for 40 mins or soo is that possible to like only watch planes not for u too control them and i only think that its kinda still not that busy if it live cuz on dubai there is aircrafts going up and down every 40 second i mean idk if u paused it or it is like in real life that u can watch planes. And one question for justflight i mean its just cuz i like that but i wanna ask if this will came out in future soo u can see like aircrafts in the air and u can like watch the full route of airplane and stuff like that cuz it would be awesome even now its soo enjooyable sadly i cant buy it rn but i will in future both x-plane and this pluggin keep good work Q8 with vids and JustFlight on updates ;)
I like don't like know but like maybe you could like say like what like you're like talking about.
Do we also have traffic in the sky when we are onroute to or destination ?
Yes
@@Q8Pilot thanks
Does traffic vectors avoid mountains? And it works well in south east asia?
Yes and yes
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?
How do you find out what airports it supports?
