This is a mod that disables the sim to use the Generic Traffic model to be used for populating the aircraft and to be used as moving Traffic.
Instead, this mod will force the sim to use the Asobo A320 aircraft to become the Generic Traffic. So if you do not have a matching aircraft model, the sim will use the A320 model by default.
The purpose for this is so that you can use your own A320 liveries to be used as a traffic, provided that the livery you have has a matching ICAO airline code that the Live traffic will use. It will also help to make your airports more immersive by removing the low-poly aircrafts and the generic liveries.
Features:
- All default Generic Traffic: Quad Engine Airliners, Twin Engine Airliner, Private Jet, GA aircrafts will now stop spawning at gates and some parking spots.
- If you don't have a matching model, Live Traffic will no longer use the Generic Traffic models above.
- Instead Live Traffic will start using the Asobo A320 model for traffic that doesn't have a matching model.
- Default A320 Air Traffic Livery (the plain white/green, yellow, etc) will be replaced with the three major Airline Alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld and SkyTeam. No more plain liveries at the gates and parking spots.
- Multiple variants with a unique set of airline livery combinations.
- If you have a A320 Liveries setup for AI Traffic and has a matching ICAO, the sim will use that livery for the traffic (Livery not included).
- If the Live Traffic does not have a matching ICAO code with an A320 livery in your collection, it will randomly use the default Alliance liveries above.
Variants:
Global Variant (Main File):
- North America:
- American Airlines Oneworld livery.
- Korean Air SkyTeam livery.
- Lufthansa Star Alliance livery.
- Europe:
- Iberia Oneworld livery.
- Delta Air Lines SkyTeam livery.
- Turkish Airlines Star Alliance livery.
- Asia:
- Qatar Airways Oneworld livery.
- Air France SkyTeam livery.
- United Airlines Star Alliance livery.
Regional Variant:
- North America
- American Airlines Oneworld livery.
- Delta Air Lines SkyTeam livery.
- United Airlines Star Alliance livery.
- European Variant:
- Iberia Oneworld livery.
- Air France SkyTeam livery.
- Lufthansa Star Alliance livery.
- Asian Variant:
- Qatar Airways Oneworld livery.
- Korean Air SkyTeam livery.
- Turkish Airlines Star Alliance livery.
Recommended Configuration:
It's recommended to go to your General Options -> Traffic and make some adjustments.
- Ground Aircraft Slider can be adjusted accordingly, the higher the slider value the more A320s will spawn to your airports parking spots and gates. I recommend this to be set to 100 as thats what I use for the screenshots.
- Set AI Traffic to use Generic. This will force the sim to always use the A320 as Live Traffic. This is not mandatory since the sim will always use the A320 as generic anyway when there's no matching traffic model, but it's recommended if you don't want to see plain 747 or other aircrafts spawn as traffic which could also affect FPS performance when aircraft that's not designed with AirTraffic in mind to be used as such.
- Set the Traffic Variety to Ultra if you want the sim to use a lot more liveries in your collection as the ground aircraft.
Installation:
- Make sure you have the Default Asobo A320 installed from the Content Manager.
- Then you need to find the Official folder within your installation directory.
- Download only one variant of your choosing.
- Extract the folders contained within this mod to the Official Folder and replace all 24 files when asked.
Default Installation Path:
These are the default installation path for each respective store version. This won't apply if you install your MSFS to a custom drive\folder. If that's the case, you need to find it yourself.
Steam Version:
C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official\Steam\
Microsoft OneStore Version:
C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\
Uninstallation:
- Backup files are included in this mod, you can download the backup files that's based on version 1.20.6.0 and do the same installation process as above.
For A320 livery creators:
If you include an AI Traffic model.cfg and a separate FLTSIM entry with isAirTraffic=1. Make sure you have a matching ICAO airline code. This will help other people downloading your livery to also be used as an AI traffic that will work with this mod. As this mod will force everyone to have the A320 as AirTraffic, and the sim will use your livery for AirTraffic that uses the same matching ICAO code. See the section below for known issue when it comes to AI AirTraffic livery.
Known Issues:
- When you have a matching ICAO code livery with the livetraffic, the livery loaded correctly, but sometimes the engine sound is missing from the live traffic. This is usually caused by a broken Sound reference from your livery for the traffic. This can be solved by adding the soundai folder from the official Asobo A320 folder and bring it to the livery's folder, and point the aircraft.cfg to reference the soundai folder.
- If you have AI Traffic model addons in the community folder, that will still take precedence. So you can still keep the community AI traffic models addon if you still want to use it, and this mod will take care of the gaps instead. Or if you want to use this tweak to its full potential, then you will need to remove the AI Traffic model addons that you use from the community folder.

What are the default backup files?
2 years ago
They are the backup from the original files. If you want to uninstall this mod and revert back to the default, you can just install the default backup files and it should restore the original files.

Hi. Nice one, thank you.
I have a question. How to add more liveries to this mod?
And Can I have different AI Generic? I have the PMDG 737, I would like to see it as AI.
Is it possible?
Thank you.

Basically, if you download liveries for your flyable A320, in the aircraft.cfg file, you need to make sure there's a separate FLTSIM.1 entry that is set to isAirTraffic=1. As long as you have that, this mod will pick up that livery and use it as the traffic.
You can technically make the PMDG 737 spawn as traffic with a few tweaks on the isAirTraffic=1 entry as well. But it's not recommended. This is because if you do, the sim will spawn the PMDG aircraft in its entirety, including interior, cockpit instruments, etc. And you don't want that, because as soon as your airport is populated with them, it will overwork your hardware trying to render them all and will severely drops down your FPS. The reason why it works on the A320, is because Asobo created 2 separate models for them. One is for the flyable A320 with high detailed interior cockpit rendered, and another separate model designed for traffic, with low poly non-operational cockpit so that you can maintain the same FPS performance.
To be honest. I don't even use this mod that I made anymore. Ever since I discovered AIG. Once I installed it, I get all sorts of traffic, A320, A330, A350, A380, 737, 747, 777, 787, ATR, etc. And I get to choose which liveries to install out of the hundreds in their library. I know it's counter intuitive to push people away from my mod. But to be honest, AIG does air traffic better than this mod.

Hey, After last MSFS Update it seems that your files were reseted. I have the default yellow A320 back. Do we have to reinstall after every MSFS Update?
2 years ago
Yes, you have to keep reinstalling the mod after every update. I'm still trying to find a way to make a separate community mod instead. But I don't have that much incentive since I installed AIG model and Liveries. It works the same but actually better than my own mod.

What's new in this update?
2 years ago
You can open the changelog tab to see the changes. Basically this mod will cause issues if there are people using the payware Aerosoft Tool Simple Traffic mod. I just add a separate pack that's designed to be compatible and complement the Aerosoft mod. That way, people can still see the Aerosoft traffic with liveries all around, yet this mod will hide the generic liveries and replacing the generic A320 liveries with whichever variant combination you choose.

Are the contents to be pasted in the Community folder or at this link:
C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official\Steam\
Although, I have Steam and MSFS both installed on Drive F, but I do have the above path available on Drive C.
Please confirm.
2 years ago
That depends, Steam only installs the Launcher. And once you run the launcher, MSFS will then install in another location. Which one did you install in the F drive? Is it only the Steam launcher, or also when the sim was run and you download the 89 GB package? It's the latter. If you keep the default installation path when you download the 89 GB package from the sim, then it would be in the AppData folder. But if you manually change the installation folder for the 89 GB package to F, then it would be in the F one. So it depends.

So it works very well, and i download the main folder to make a flight in US but why there is China Eastern or Lutfhansa in US part. can you make a file that is just for that country. Im just telling this to make it more realistic. Because i never seen a China Eastern or Lufthansa A320Neo in US. But thank you i was bored from that weird MSFS own liverys
2 years ago
Yeah, but that's Star Alliance and Skyteam Livery. Meaning, they could just be operated by any airline within that same alliance. Don't focus too much on the smaller airline label. Focus on the bigger livery which is the alliance one.
The reason why I set it up this way is so that there's a bit of balance so that you can fly anywhere around the world without having to reinstall different variants. And the main focus of the variant lies on the OneWorld livery because those still use the airline main livery with a small alliance text on them. The Skyteam and Star alliance is the other way around, the major part of the livery is the alliance, and the smaller text is the airline. So it's less noticeable.
But you can mix and match if you want. Take one AirTraffic folder from one variant, and mix it with the other AirTraffic folder from another variant.

Will this interfere with AIG traffic?
2 years ago
To be honest, I don't know.. I never used AIG traffic and how it is structured. My best guess is, if you still want the AIG traffic to work. You need to install this mod first. Then install the AIG traffic. Anything that AIG traffic needs to overwrite, it will be overwritten by AIG traffic. This mod will just pick up the remaining gaps that the AIG traffic doesn't do.

It works great, the installation is a bit fiddly but not difficult, but now there are no more ugly yellow planes on the runway.

Does it go in the official folder or the community folder?

This goes to the Official Folder. I tried making a community mod on this, but for some unknown reason, it didn't work. So for now, install it to the official folder, and replace the files when asked.

This is great. Love it! But I am still seeing "all yellow" airplanes at the gate. All the other liveries but still getting the yellow one also. Any reason for that?
2 years ago
Which variant did you download? Usually the "all yellow" livery means there's one that didn't get replaced. Either that, or you have another addon with that yellow livery still active.
