Just Flight has issued another update for their Traffic Global XP utility. The utility, designed to inject a wide-range of AI traffic models into the simulator, has been extensively updated over the past few weeks. The new update, v1.0.8796, makes several fixes including updating all aircraft gear contact positions, ensuring that the radar/Departure/Plan windows now show correctly in VR amongst many more.
The update has also seen a reduction in the gap between take-off and landing aircraft, a potential fix for crashes on or near certain third-party airports along with additional stability checks.
You can get the update now from your Just Flight account.

- Several improvements to movement around airports and airborne avoidance.
- Change altitude profile for long cruise legs.
- Change acceleration profile.
- Potential fix for crashes on or near startup with certain third-party airports installed.
- Fix for rare crash under unpredictable circumstances.
- Fix for rare crash when removing a flight leg that has got too short to use.

- Allow slightly more time when slowing down for sharp corners
- Fixes for aircraft with certain undercarriage configurations in the first few seconds of pushback.
- Add 717 paintkit texture
- Control sections on the departure board and radar were causing unclickable regions if the window was closed using the red dot.
