Super Traffic Board (STB) V2.3 for FSX

Introducing Super Traffic Board (STB), the next wave in displaying and interacting with your AI flights.

Features

• Interactive airport passenger style flight information board, and much more.
• Supports all AI packages. Customizable configuration data included for Just Flight TrafficX, MyTrafficX, ORBX Full Terrain Experience (FTX) AI, Ultimate Traffic 2 and World of AI.
• NEW: Full scheduling support for UT2 Flight Schedules, developed in cooperation with Flight1 Software.  STB now shows departure and arrival times, and airports for all UT2 flights.  No other AI add-on can do this, not even FSX Traffic Toolbox Explorer.
• Real time advanced flight information including actual airport names, runway allocation, speed, altitude, and distance from airport.
• Displays all AI flights under simulation including Passenger, Cargo, Military and GA operations each with their own unique interpretation.
• Pilot and Spotter operational modes. Each mode determines how STB presents data, for the best possible experience while flying or observing.
• Support for the popular add-on "AIRound", enabling customers to activate the exciting AI camera angles available with AIRound from the STB flight display.
• Custom filters focus the list of flights on display, applied after your choice of airport and arrivals, departures, or "everything".
  • Filter by operator type, e.g. show passenger flights only.
  • Filter by COM1 radio, e.g. show only those flights sharing the same radio frequency and Air Traffic Controller as the user or selected AI aircraft.
• Automated Flight Controller Features:
  • Airspace Conflict Resolution: Detects airspace conflicts between approaching AI aircraft, and moves aircraft "breaking the rules" to an arrival stand rather than leaving them to be deleted by Flight Simulator.
  • User Airspace Conflict Resolution: Detects airspace conflicts between the user aircraft and AI during your final approach to the airport. AI aircraft are moved to the arrival stand as necessary to clear your path to the runway.
  • Deleted Aircraft Recovery: Capture inbound aircraft that are deleted by Flight Simulator to relieve taxi way congestion, and recreate those aircraft with a schedule at an arrival stand.
  • Stuck Aircraft Recovery: Detect and rescue aircraft that are stuck in pre/post flight support, and send them on their way. Aircraft that cannot be rescued are deleted, releasing the parking space for others.
  • Departure Control: Automatically configures departing AI aircraft to deploy flaps for "take off".
• Interactive Commands:
  • Listen AI: Listen to the ATC radio communications between a selected AI Aircraft and ATC. Use in combination with the Follow AI Command and you can listen all the way from departure to arrival.
  • Optimize Traffic. Reduce your traffic volumes dynamically for the best possible simulator performance.
  • Flight Information. Find out where an arrived flight is going next.
  • View AI. See any aircraft in Flight Simulator by selecting a flight on the board.
  • Shadow AI. Place an invisible user aircraft at the centre of the chosen AI aircraft enabling the best possible scenery experience around the AI aircraft and a preview of new camera angles.
  • Follow AI. Automatically follow an AI aircraft from departure to arrival, and on to the next leg in its schedule.
  • Chase AI. Moves your aircraft to the vicinity of an AI aircraft, allowing you to fly "escort".
  • Delete AI.
  • Move to Stand. Rather than deleting Move inbound aircraft to the stand (for instance if they are blocking your approach or taxiway).
  • Slew On/Off. Pause and resume AI aircraft.
  • Depart Now: Order aircraft to begin their departure procedures immediately rather than at their scheduled time.
• Supports Airline and Airport Logos.
• Convert text to upper case to simulate vintage real world traffic boards.
• Network support included as standard. Use on a separate PC/Laptop from your main FSX computer.
• Highly customizable via a dedicated GUI.
• 80+ Page User Guide.
• User interface available in US English, UK English and Swedish.
• Designed from the ground up as a native FSX application.

Pre-Requisites

• Operating System
  • Windows XP SP3 or later;
  • Windows Vista, SP1 or later;
  • Windows 7;
• Microsoft .net Framework V3.5 SP1 or later.
• Flight Simulator X
  • SP1;
  • (Recommended) SP2 or Acceleration;

Considerations

• If used on the same computer as Flight Simulator, FSX must be run in windowed mode. FS may be used in full screen mode of STB is installed on another networked computer.
• While SuperTrafficBoard is the active window, Flight Simulator temporarily disables sound. This means you may not be able to hear aircraft sounds, ATC voices, etc. until Flight Simulator becomes the active window again.  Workarounds are available; see the user guide for more details.
• Due to FSX limitations, the Shadow AI, Follow AI, Chase AI and Aircraft Recovery functions are not available for UT2 aircraft.  Other AI packages are not affected.
• Product advertising screenshots may show airlines and airports logos.  As logos are typically copyrighted to and trademarks of their owners, they cannot be included with a commercial product such as STB.  See http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=268&t=72122 for more information.
