Just Double-checking a Route - AAL Repulic Airlines Operating in Turkey?

[Casualclick 9]

Does this route and carrier make sense East of Istanbul? I'm just trying to figure out if I have to reinstall or it's something else. ST is the only traffic mod I have. No custom liveries or models. Thanks!

I don't think ST includes offline flight plans, it just applies liveries to whatever AI airlines and routes MSFS generates.

I believe they replace the schedule with real world routes? I think the only time incorrect liveries/carriers show up is if I set Ground Traffic > 0.

When the sim spawns a flight that is not covered by the liveries, one is selected at random. This is simulator behavior that we can't change. So there is a chance to see any livery at any airport.

Hi Casualclick

 

Yes, whilst Ground Traffic > 0 results in random liveries for static parked aircraft, there are also 2 other scenarios where this may sometimes happen (depending on the AI mode):

• In Real-Time Online mode, if an online AI flight is an airline for which ST does not yet include a livery, then MSFS will select a livery at random.
• In AI Offline mode, default MSFS offline traffic (both airliner and GA) is still present alongside ST offline traffic. The default MSFS offline traffic is not airline-specific, so MSFS will select a livery at random. You can tell whether an offline AI aircraft's flight plan is ST or default by looking at its Registration in LittleNavMap: ST flight registrations are always prefixed with the 3-digit airline code (e.g. RPA for a Republic Airways flight), whereas default registrations won't be (e.g. LZ-TKV). There is a way to disable the default offline traffic completely with a manual hack, but in that case you'd lose both default airliner and default GA traffic (since both types of traffic are generated by the same default file).

Thanks folks. I always appreciate the detailed responses! This makes sense now.

One method you can use to virtually eliminate random A320neo liveries is to install Liveries Mega Pack Manager and download selected A320neo liveries for the country/continent you're flying in; i.e. USA airlines or European airlines.

I have asked Asobo if there is a possibility to assign a specific livery (i.e. a blank plane) when a livery is not found instead of a random livery.
