Just Flight, a developer, and reseller of many high-quality addons, today finally, after over a month since the announcement and multiple previews shared, released their long-awaited traffic plugin, Traffic Global. For those, who aren’t sure what is the plugin doing, it is basically adding air traffic to the X-Plane 11.
The plugin can now be purchased via Just Flight store for €43,95.

- Hundreds of combinations of airlines and aircraft provided – Traffic Global comes with 65 aircraft types over 860 liveries covering most of the world’s airlines.
- Over 600,000 flights included by default – the flight database is created from recent commercially sourced flight data and processed using custom tools specifically written for Traffic Global. It has up-to-date flights covering more than 3,000 global airports with complex, multi-point, multi-day flight schedules.
- High performance – even with hundreds of AI aircraft on screen and more being simulated nearby, simulator performance is barely affected. Traffic Global is highly multi-threaded.
- AI respond to the sim pilot – as you move around the airport, other traffic will do its best to stop and allow you to pass. Collision with AI is possible but can be disabled.
- Seamless start-up – there is no need to manually configure a flight plan or wait when you start a new flight or move to a new airport; Traffic Global loads everything in the background and is usually ready to go as soon as your flight starts.
- Full 3D sound for all aircraft – each AI aircraft has engine and equipment sounds modelled in 3D using the widely supported OpenAL. Volume is controllable independently of X-Plane’s own.
- Simple installation – no messing around setting up subscriptions, additional files or per-airport custom setups. Traffic Global is ready to run ‘out the box’.
- Compatible with third-party airports – Traffic Global uses the same data for airport definitions as the simulator itself, so third-party airports, both commercial and free, will be used if they are installed.
- Many new camera types – seven new controllable external views allow you to follow individual AI aircraft, either independently or in association with your own.
- Three new control windows – a radar display centred on your aircraft, a flight board switchable between all nearby airports, and a flight plan display showing nearby airports, taxiways and flying aircraft are provided. Each has hotkeys and can be detached from the main X-Plane window.
- Full X-Plane integration – new map layers showing flying or grounded AI aircraft are added to X-Plane and most hotkeys can be re-assigned using the standard X-Plane settings.
- Networking support included as standard – serious cockpit builders using more than one PC to control their displays get the same traffic across their entire setup.
- Extendable – new or altered aircraft liveries can easily be added and will be used with no additional configuration. New traffic can be added using freely-available tools; Traffic Global uses the same traffic database format as Prepar3D and Flight Simulator X.
- Potential for third-party plugin integration – Traffic Global publishes ‘datarefs’ exposing the locations of all nearby traffic and includes example code for using them.
