Using The Software

First of all, be sure Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 is closed before starting FS Live Traffic.

After installation a new folder is created on your Windows Start Menu. This folder is called FS Live Traffic.
Go to this folder and click on the FS Live Traffic shortcut.

The main application window will open.
If you have already ordered and have your registration codes ready click on the "Connect" tab and enter your username and password.
After this click the "Start" button. Data will be download

If you are just trying the Demo version, go to the "Demo" tab on the top and click the "Start" button. This generates traffic from a saved flight data file and will only show you some aircraft types (Boeing 737 - all types, Airbus A320, Boeing 747-400)

Please do not change the path from the proposed one, and do not uncheck the after-installation tasks required.

Further details available on the software documentation.

 

Technical Information

Lots of difficulties had to be overcome to create this software.
One of these is that the radar flight information provided to AirNav Systems in real time is often incomplete, many flights are missing the aircraft information which often only gets added when they are landed.
FS Live Traffic solves this in a multifold approach. Hundreds of smaller airlines only have one aircraft model for a specific task - this knowledge is built into the software. In addition history records get written. Case a flight has no aircraft information, we check if it had one on a previous download, and take that. In very rare cases this may lead to usage of other aircraft models than in reality - but is it better than skipping the flights. This package comes to you with history information of more than 100 000 real unique flights that took place during program development.

After many downloads, you may experience that the creation of the schedules gets slower. This may be due to the fact that the history records got too long. If this happens, you can just double click to <FS9>\FSLive\CleanupHisto.bat . This will remove all double history entries, leaving only the very last entry of every flight.

 

Compatibility With Other AI Traffic Packages

First generation AI traffic packages bringing airliner traffic only (MyTraffic 1.0 for FS2002, MyTraffic 1.1 for FS2002, Project AI, Ultimate Traffic, FS Traffic 2002, Traffic 2004) are replaced by this product, so you should remove the traffic scenery file provided by these.
Keep the aircraft that these installed, and case you find one or the another paint in these packages that you prefer, you can modify the aircraft.cfg file and exchange the title= entries to use them.

MyTraffic2004 Version 2.1 as most advanced global AI traffic package is fully compatible to FS Live Traffic.
The aircraft models in FS Live Traffic have been specially designed using GMAX with multiple levels of detail to have optimal frame rates even at very busy airports. Many of these all new models are compatible to earlier models from Project AI, so if you have textures for PAI planes, you can also use them with these frame rate friendly models.

 

Registration Codes Not Being Accepted

You must enter the registration codes exactly as you have received them by email.
These codes are always correct, as they are automatically generated.
These codes are formed by 2 parameters: your email and password.

You will receive these 2 parameters by email after registering.
After this, start the application, and in the 'Logon Window' enter them exactly as you received.

Tips: 
1- Do not leave spaces before or after the email and password.
2- Do not change the character case of the letters: for example 'Ronald' is not the same as 'ronald' or 'RONALD'.
