Hi fellow simmers,

After the good news from Balthasar, that he was able to source two new data providers for improved ground traffic, I wanted to ask you what your observations around the sim world are.

I‘m away from home so I can‘t check myself but I‘m really curious how your experience is now.

thanks for sharing!

KIAH and KMIA are really back in business, but these are relatively old news. Seems like RJAA is showing some signs of life as well.

In fact, we need Nico to generate a new set of qf numbers for the add-one to tell exactly, whether things changed or not. 

Also, please check this tool. If your desired airport has < -25dBFS signal, then the signal is really bad. Actually, KIAH has -46, so I don't know how interpret this.

Thanks, I‘m gonna follow this.

Scandinavia (ESSA, ENGM) seems to be slowly coming to live as well.

KIAH has purple ground marking, which means really bad.

But do you see stable movements in the sim?

There is a lot of traffic activity at KIAH on the RT Radar, so I don't understand why KIAH has such a low nominal signal value. I'd rather wait for Nico to generate KIAH's file

I am not seeing much improvement I must say. Airports like LFMN and VHHH are not improved, there is still poor ground coverage at these airports. I will also wait for Nico to get back from his vacation and look at the airport files and the data stream before I make a full judgement.

Also, I have had an email reply from Balthasar about a forum, this is what he had to say "I'm also taking the feedback on board to create a forum for RT. Looking into options at the moment.".

Very strange comment regarding VHHH, as it's always had had one the strongest signals and perfect coverage.

LGAV is also coming back from dead. Maybe it's time to get FlyTampa scenery finally

KDTW is pretty much full of action as well.

The coverage is good, but the live aircraft often disappear whilst taxiing or when stopped, then re-appear, and they often jump some distance on the taxiways instead of a smooth taxi. This is what my comment referred to.

Anyone know if TNCM is working again? Thanks
