FSTL Traffic

[Brian_Gladden]

To those of us who use FSTL for AI airline traffic in 2020/24. Flight Radar is pulling their "Feed" that provides real time airline data to FSTL on April 30's (From Fly By Wire's Discord) At worst, they will simply have a "static" set of traffic files. At best they will be able to locate another "Feed" for real time traffic data that is free as they (FSTL) are committed to remain Freeware.

The "Live" function is the ONLY reason I use FSTL. If it is lost, that will be last I use it. AND as one who has paid for a premium subscription to FlightRadar for more than a decade, they will be hearing of my disappointment if this happens. I understand business is business, but there's a symbiotic relationship here which will impact the loyalty of some of the FR24 customers. I see some people are already shutting off their uplink data feed to FR24 as a response.

I wonder if ADS-B Exchange would be a viable option.

Here are a few shots around KJFK: Not a house livery in sight. That’s because with this configuration you should only see house liveries if MSFS injects traffic that neither MSFS nor FSLTL’s libraries have an exact match for. This mostly pops up with 737 MAXs and 757s which FSLTL...

Another option, I use PSXT with Real Traffic to inject AIG models for the live stuff. Pretty cool to open FR24 on my phone app and see the same in MSFS.
