I don't think FSHud will automatically populate its own traffic picture from PSXT/RealTraffic the same way it used to when people were relying on the older FSLTL flow. If the aircraft are visible in the sim and in RealTraffic, but not really showing inside FSHud, that sounds more like PSXT is driving the visual traffic while FSHud is not the system controlling it. If your goal is traffic that FSHud can actually manage, I would try the AIG route first. If your goal is just having live aircraft around you visually, PSXT can still do that, but I would not expect the same handoff inside FSHud.

If you mainly fly third party IFR add-ons, I’d probably go Standard and put the price difference into the aircraft you know you will actually use. The higher editions make more sense if you specifically want the native 2024 versions of the included aircraft, or if you know you care about the Local Legends and Famous Flyers discount. For me it would come down to one simple question: will those bundled aircraft become part of your regular flying, or just hangar filler?

Same here. SU5 is the first 2024 build that has felt consistently smooth for me in the kind of flying I actually do. I’m mostly in airliners and business jets, and the big difference is that busy airports finally feel predictable instead of turning into a stutter test. Not perfect yet, but it finally feels more like flying and less like troubleshooting.

In my experience FSHud is more the ATC and traffic-management side than the model package itself, so yes, you can pair it with FSLTL models. If you want the easier setup, FSLTL models are fine. If you want deeper airline coverage, I still think AIG is stronger, but FSHud plus FSLTL is absolutely a workable combo.

AIG is still worth it for me if you want broad airline coverage, but I’d avoid the full OCI dump unless you really need every region. I usually keep it focused on the airlines and areas I actually fly, then let FSHud work with that traffic setup, because it stays a lot easier to manage and update later. If disk space is your main concern, trimming the OCI install is the cleaner route than trying to move a giant install after the fact.

I think part of it may just be that some of these smaller business jets can feel heavier than people expect once you start flying them like an actual IFR platform instead of a sporty GA aircraft. For me that usually becomes much more obvious in the descent and in tighter speed and turn management. I notice it even more when I’m flying offline IFR with FSHud, especially if there’s a fair amount of traffic and some sequencing or queuing involved, because then you really feel how quickly the airplane responds, or doesn’t. So I’m not sure I’d call it broken just from that feeling alone. It may be more that the HondaJet doesn’t match the lighter, more agile impression people expect from it.

I think the weak point with these ATC tools is usually not the voice side, it is what happens once the flight stops being straightforward. Descent timing, transition handling, approach sequencing, spacing, traffic flow, that is the part where it either starts to feel believable or it falls apart quite quickly. So I do get the criticism, especially if the approach phase went sideways. At the same time, I also think some of these situations are easy to misread. If it gave you a published transition, that is not really the same thing as vectors, and traffic can feel very different depending on route, region and time of day. For me that is why I would not call it useless, but I also would not call it mature yet. It still feels like one of those tools that can be quite convincing on one flight and then expose its weak spots on the next one.

I play with FSHud ATC

FSHud made some changes, voices are now much better!

FSHud + AIG + FSLTL, using all the time! Very good traffic management, fshud control each aircraft and it can be 90+ aircraft on one moment! He providing correct vectoring, you can customize Airports - Configure runways, parking, procedure (SID/STAR). Very powerful and you can use any AI traffic! I love it! About callsign - I saw it, it's related to some AI injector, FSLTL I think... But very rare.

Hello guys, I'm using FSHud with AIG TC only, here is my flight that I did just now! 50 Active on final! I'm very happy to flying with FSHud!

I tried the “plane spotter” approach (PSXT). Yes, you get real-world aircraft showing up in the sim and moving, but ground behavior can be glitchy sometimes — it depends a lot on the tracking data quality. If you want ATC that actually controls all traffic around you and controls you as well, then it’s FSHud. It’s the only solid option (in my view) with sensible vectoring, plus proper runway + parking configuration. I run FSHud with FSLTL models, so I still get realistic airline presence.

I honestly didn't think we'd get this level of control. The parking assignment feature is huge for me. I just mapped out the terminals for KLAX, and for the first time, I'm actually seeing United at T7 and Delta at T2/3 consistently without having to mess with external AFCAD files. It makes the ground environment look so much more believable. This feature alone makes the update worth it.

You can regulate "Radio effect" in the Audio settings. Play with that, remove radio effect, for me it's worked!

I'm very happy with FSHud! I was away for a few weeks, and when I came back, I saw lots of updates and fixes! And finally, discounts! I’ve recommended it to my friends, so expect more purchases soon!
