Lorby Live Traffic has been released

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.
