Lorby Live Traffic has been released

3/12/2017

This week I have decided to release the experimental "LorbyLiveTraffic" app (LLTX for short). This app will constantly query two online data sources for information about currently airborne traffic - and it will display them in your simulator.

The LLTX was not made to be an AI traffic addon - it is geared towards the plane spotters among you. Unfortunately the data that is available for free doesn't cover all locations on earth, nor is it of sufficient quality to be accurate. Aircraft will miss the runways when landing, they will crash into the mountains at Innsbruck, and do other crazy things. Apart from the lacking data quality, the aircraft are flying under simulator AI control, so be prepared for surprises.

It will only provide airborne (airliner) traffic
Although you can force the aircraft to land, they will NOT taxi in or out, or populate the parking positions.
Coverage and accuracy are limited to what the two free sources can provide
The aircraft are invisible to the simulator's ATC
The app requires that you have the full complement of either MT6, UT2 or WOAI aircraft models available to your sim
You can add custom models of your own to the database
You can change every aircraft model literally "on the fly".
You can look up the plane that you are watching on FlightRadar24 through an automated link
You can set the real world weather of your location in the sim (this is even more experimental - but it worked pretty well in testing)
The app has been compiled in four different versions and installers have been provided for FSX SP2/Accel, FSX SE, P3D 2.5 and P3D v3.x

The app is available as a free download in the "DOWNLOADS" section.

I made a quick video about LLTX operations:

Hello Mr. Lorby. I have downloaded and installed your free app.
First and foremost, let me congratulate you for your dedication, talent and generosity. I am using it and I am thrilled about the possibilities. I think connection with the live and real world is the near future of all simulations.
For now I am able to see only 2 or 3 airplanes out of 47 or more. I think it has something to do with my AI library. I downloaded around 60 packages from WOAI and I have shown the path to LLTX . I still see 2 or 3 airplanes out of 50 or 60. I don´t know what the cause of this problem could be. I will keep improving my AI library to isolate the problem. Any input from you would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance and my best wishes to you. Sincerely . Javier Alquati
PS: I use FSX acceleration IVAO Vatsim et all.

Hello Javier,

first a word of caution: the model databases in LLTX are already pre-configured (by me). All you have to do is to select the library that applies to you - do not enter a path or press "scan folder" unless you really have a completely different setup. If you "Scan folder", then all the assignments that I made are lost, and a lot of aircraft will not match their real world counterparts.

If you want to return to the default, there is a button on the database manager dialog - or just delete (rename) the LLTX files folder in "My Documents"

The matching between real world traffic and the database is handled with the two columns "ICAO Type" and "ICAO Airline". If these fields are empty or contain invalid data, then that aircraft model cannot be found. You can enter into these columns whatever you want (as provided in the two lists to the right) so you can improve the matching over time.

btw. a new version of LLTX has been released last week. Make sure that you check it out.

Best regards

Hello Oliver. Thanks for your prompt response to my request for info. I exactly did everything wrong. I gave a path to a folder etc, also did the scan folder routine which you recommend not to. I will follow your advice to correct all mistakes. Thank you again. Best regards.

Hello Oliver. As I said, I corrected everything wrong. I clean installed LorbyLiveTraffic, choose the WOAI database and the only thing that I added was the path to the folder where I keep all my WOAI airplanes and Presto!!
LLTX started to show data from most airplanes at Heathrow. It worked perfectly. Many thanks to you!. I am sure your product is going to be a success. Best regards.

Hi,

please use the "Contact us" form to send me a message. There can be many things going wrong, most importantly I need to know what else you did apart from selecting the UT2 models - and what you mean by "no aircraft is shown" (no aircraft at all or only deafult liveries?)

If no aircraft are shown at all, that might be related to the location. Try it with major hubs first, like EDDF or EGLL. The free online data that LLTX uses does not cover every airport on the globe.

Hi,
Great product, will you be adding B777-300ER, A350-900, Learjet and Gulfstream 4/5/6 to the 'ICAO TYPE' at some point?

Regards, Will.

Hi,

I will see if I can find an updated ICAO list. Need to write an import process though, but I guess it is time to refresh the data anyway.

Best regards

Thanks for the reply, my mistake, the A350-900 is included.

When you first decide to venture into the online dating world, one of the first steps is to decide which site you're going to use. There are so many to choose from that this process can be a bit daunting. I have a friend who treats online dating like a job.

Hi BVAI has recently changed to FLAI and is a different installation, I was wondering if you were going to include this change so it can be used in Live Traffic?
Thanks, Will.

Hi, I have added FLAI in addition to BVAI. The 1.09 update is live now.

hello there is a new version of lorby traffic soon there are many errors in the version 1.10?

11/5/2018 10:09:20 pm

Hi,

no, there is no new version in development.

If you are experiencing bugs, please report them through the official channels (prefereably by email, the address is on the last page of the manual).
I am currently only aware of one issue: P3D likes to crash at random points in time when using LLTX in "Simulator AI" mode. The cause has not yet been found, but once it is there will be a new version for that.

Best regards
