I never fly without LiveTraffic, I really do not like any of the other traffic addons.

When I'm flying, I do it usually from smaller GA airfields where there's not much traffic, thus I don't really require it. It's nice to have it and - sometimes - doing (virtual) plane spotting on airports where I'm not personally present (or doing comparisons with reality like with my latest 2 videos). Simply as recreation or being amazed at what is possible today (even without Map Enhancement/Orthos and Simheaven 🙂).

Which data provider are you using?

 

Yesterday, while flying over the western US in XP, I saw two Livetraffic aircraft pass behind me in close formation. At first, I thought this was caused by one of the occasional traffic data anomalies, but on checking out the IDs of the flights in LittleNavMap, it turned out to be two actual CAL FIRE S-2 Trackers in close formation. Pretty cool.

adsb.fi and RealTraffic's website. That's all. I also had (sometimes) Open Glider Network on, to observe my former flight colleagues, but IIRC it didn't always work very good.
