MSFS Global Vehicle Traffic: Reduce Trucks

Post by Claviateur » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:04 pm

Hello,

Perhaps your addon does not control the traffic type and other aspects but only the textures on the vehicles.

However I was wondering if we can reduce the amount of trucks driving on the roads.

Thanks

Last update increased the amount of smaller vehicles.

We might add more smaller types.

Reason we added so many trucks is, that above 500 feet AGL, that sort of traffic is more noticeable. Smaller vehicles won't be recognizable from higher altitudes.

Thanks for the feedback and we will add more smaller vehicles in the future.

Thanks for the reply and info. I purchased my version from the Marketplace a few days ago, I will check if there is any new update there but I did not notice any with the latest Sim Update today.

Do you think it is possible to have a small config utility or file to set tune these vehicles types?

I feel that the whole road system needs to be addressed by Asobo to refine the look of the roads, highways, bridges and intersections, make traffic type adapted to road types (to avoid big trucks in suburbs) etc. This is an important component in VFR flights or any mission that could be based on roads and traffic etc.

I hope Asobo will work on this one day or give developers more SDK info on how to improve the whole roads network including traffic

thanks!

Hello,

This is an example of what I see on the roads (highways + smaller roads).

Is there anything I can tweak on my side to reduce the trucks ratio or is it compiled in the package?

I have the Marketplace version.

Thanks

Hi there, Ricardo!

Please, is there any update regarding this topic? Don't know if it got worse, but some places are having a really huge amount of big trucks, even in peaceful small homes neighborhoods now.

Hello,

Im an user of this nice mod , and i must say that it still have too many trucks even now. Mostly, the parked vehicles in parking next to generated airport is filled with bus, trucks and all vehicles of the mod instead only cars like with default traffic, so it look really messy and bit immersion breaking. Last thing is that there is some american truck in Asia and Africa.

If this little things could be fixedit would be really great.

Thank you for your attention.

Here too, I am wondering if I uninstall the addon despite being a nice one, simply because there are too many trucks in suburbs etc.

I wish I know what parameter to tweak to make them less.

Thanks

I agree with the comments that there are too many trucks. In the parking area for my hometown airport (KCHS), there are no cars, only truck after truck after truck. I have removed the add-on for the time being but will reinstall it if/when there is a reasonable amount of cars vs trucks.

We will remove trucks, as this is something most people are giving feedback about.

We did not want to as, when looking from 2000-3000feet you don't notice small cars but trucks, thus less immersion. But we understand that there are too much trucks.
