What's needed to make it work
X-Plane 11.10 or above, regularly tested on 11.55 and latest 12.0.x release, will be continuously maintained for latest available stable X-Plane release (not usually for beta releases).
Compatibility with X-Plane 10 has been dropped, but LiveTraffic v1.5, the last version running on X-Plane 10, is kept available for download. Documentation for v1.50 will also stay available: Make sure to select v1.50 in the top left corner.
Windows
MacOS
Linux
- Ported and tested on Windows 10, latest release. Supposed to work on Windows 11.
- Reportedly works on Windows 7 and 8.1, no guarantees
- A recent version the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019" is required for LiveTraffic to run on Windows. It is often available already, but not necessarily up-todate. Find a Microsoft support article here. Download and install vc_redist.x64.exe. If LiveTraffic doesn't start and
Log.txt
contains.../Resources/plugins/LiveTraffic/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found.
then most likely you're missing this redistributable or it is not up-to-date.
- Developed and tested on MacOS 12.x
- Supposed to work on MacOS Catalina (10.15) upward.
- Provided as a signed and notarized universal binary for both Silicon and Intel architectures, reportedly works in native Silicon mode
- Many thanks to sparker for providing a Docker setup for building Linux. I do not have a Linux runtime environment and cannot test, analyse, or debug Linux-specific issues.
- LiveTraffic requires a fairly recent Linux environment. The following is known:
- Built on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, so runs on similar systems.
- Successful installations on UbuntuArch Linux, Manjaro, Mint. Packages required to be installed:
curl
andlibcurl3
for networking, often but not always in by default. This makeslibcurl.so.4
(withCURL_OPENSSL_4
) available. Incompatibilities withlibcurl
are the most common source of problems, also see below for some hints.xdg-utils
needed for opening web pages (help menu and buttons, download link), Ubuntu has it by default.
- Not working on Lubuntu/Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, Mint 18.1 due to issues with
libcurl
/CURL_OPENSSL_4
. - If you are on a Steam-based installation, then the following tip may help you fixing
CURL_OPENSSL_4
version issues:- For XP11, add the launch option:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu %command%
- Created a symbolic link between the installed 64 bit
libcurl.so.4
file and the directory where LT was looking (take it from the error message inlog.txt
). In the author's case, the commands looked like this:- To find the directory, check the output from
locate libcurl.so.4
- Then create the link between the directory and Steam (note that your file paths will differ):
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libcurl.so.4
CSL packages provide the aircraft models that you will see in X-Plane's sky. See installation for details. Recommendations:
