I was flying around off the coast of Peru, and I encountered an aircraft via RealTraffic that must have been on some kind of mission. The aircraft type was identified as a C-130, and the airspeed and altitude matched. The registration in RealTraffic was that of a real C-130 from the National Guard. Everything lines up so far.

But PSXTraffic didn't seem to inject this aircraft? I could see that "Traffic injection range" was 60 (gray with Automatic checked), and the C-130 in RealTraffic passed within 30 nm of my aircraft, but "live: 0" stayed put the whole time.

Should I have expected to see "live: 1" when the C-130 got within 60 miles? 

Are military aircraft handled differently? (I'm still new to PSXTraffic and I realize that I may not understand how it is supposed to work.)

Thanks.

Do you have a model for a C-130 that can be injected? Was there a message on the bottom of the UI about not being able to inject a flight?

1. I don't know whether I have a C-130 model? I'm still new to this. I have all the AIG models though, as of this week.

2. No messages at the bottom of the UI about not being able to inject a flight.

The message is in the Log.txt (to be found in the PSXTraffic folder), not in the UI ...
