On behalf of Paul Beckwith, X-Plained.Com is pleased to inform. you that we published Paul’s in-depth review of Just Flight Traffic Global for the latest X-Plane version 12. Traffic Global is a plugin that is designed to populate your airports and airspace with varying types of commercial, military and general aviation aircraft without a significant reduction in performance or frame rates. These aircraft add a level of depth and immersion to the simulation environment especially if your flight is not taking place in a multi-user environment.

The aircraft follow realistic flight schedules based on actual airline schedules to enhance the airport environment such that it becomes more engrossing. The plugin can be as simple to use as install and watch the aircraft populate your environment, or it can be as complicated as creating custom liveries for the aircraft generated by Traffic Global.

According to Paul “JustFlight’s Traffic Global is a rather unique addition to that world and is currently one of two such products available for X-Plane 12. Its sole purpose is to add AI aircraft to your simming world at a frame rate cost that is much lower than adding a large amount of X-Plane’s AI capable aircraft to your environment. Just Flight Traffic Global has lived up to its promise and does, in a very satisfying way, solve that problem. My world is now full of active and inactive aircraft that behave in a mostly very realistic manner and add the sights and sounds of a busy airport to my flight experience. I especially appreciate its attention to general aviation activities since that is where I spend the predominant number of my flight hours.”

We’re pleased to inform you that your passionate reviewers Paul Beckwith and Angelique van Campen checked out X-Plane 12. We don’t call it a review but more an overview of what X-Plane 12 will bring. As of this writing, December 2022, X-Plane 12 just went official. Paul is doing his share related to the Windows platform while Angelique is taking care for macOS. For Paul “FPS” (Frames Per Second) isn’t really a problem but Angelique needs to think about buying a new iMac or Mac Studio.

According to Paul “Personally, I have found X-Plane 12 to be quite an exciting update to X-Plane 11 and am looking forward to the coming months when the scenery and aircraft become available for this upgrade. I think my biggest disappointment thus far is that all my float planes have been broken by the new aquatic properties.” But good news is on the way; most GA aircraft with floats will become compatible with X-Plane 12 water.

And we found so much more for you and therefore, check out our comprehensive “X-Plane 12 overview”.
