Both editions of Traffic Global for X-Plane 11 (Windows and Mac) have now been updated to include GA aircraft at any airport that is able to support them, enhancing the realism of this award-winning AI traffic expansion even further!
An airport can support GA aircraft if it has at least two GA parking spots (one is always left open) and a flow that supports GA and Propeller aircraft. If an airport is suitable, it will be populated with, but not filled with, GA aircraft that are able to operate from that airport, based on their runway requirements and parking availability.
Each aircraft will have a schedule created which will be based around typical GA operations: part-day rentals, flying circuits and flight school-type activities like local area flights. It will vary depending on the time of day – a small amount of night operation will be created, provided the airport flows allow night-time use of the runways – and weather conditions, as well as being timed to simulate the standard hourly rental periods. During the day, an airport may well have few parked aircraft if they are all flying.
The GA feature can be switched on/off in the Traffic Global settings.
You can also now set specific airports as having, or not having, a flight school. If the airport hosts a flight school, the type of flight profile created will be much more biased towards student flights – circuits and local area. The flights are also more likely to be affected by weather. School-specific aircraft liveries can be also be added.

The latest issue (No. 129, September/October 2020) of PC Pilot dropped through our letterboxes this morning and should be in the shops shortly. You can, of course, order a copy from the PC Pilot website.
We were most pleased to see two of our recent releases getting glowing reviews, both with scores of 95/100.
The X-Plane 11 Air Hauler 2 review says, "With many layers of complexity and different ways to approach playing, Air Hauler 2 brings incentive and goals to everyday flying... A fantastic utility that adds purpose and scope to X-Plane 11 flying."
Here's the PC Pilot verdict on the DC Designs F-15 C, E & I Eagle: "Superb and comprehensive package from DC Designs... This is a fine depiction of the F-15 that will give you a real feel for flying this fast jet... Once you get to grips with the extra speed, it's great fun to fly and behaves as expected without any real surprises. The package includes a good selection of variants, with a number of different liveries, Consequently I have no hesitation in recommending it to all our readers."
More than a few pages are devoted to interviews with Martyn, head of the Just Flight Development Team, who discusses at length the development and current state of several of our forthcoming add-ons which are slated for release later this year: 146 Professional (for P3D v4/v5 & for X-Plane 11), Fokker F28 Fellowship (for P3D & FSX) and Tornado F3 (for P3D and FSX).
Also included in the new issue, and likely to be of interest to most of us, is an interesting interview with Microsoft and Asobo Studio, the developers of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator.
