Status / About

Summary status on aircraft, TCAS, channels; and info about the software as such

The Status / About page is the third tab of the Status Information Window (menu itemPlugin > LiveTraffic > Status / Information...):

Status / About page with nearly all info filled and all sections opened

By default, only the first Aircraft / Channel status section is open.

Element
Description

Live aircraft shown

is the number of aircraft that LiveTraffic currently draws into your simulated sky.

Aircraft seen in tracking data

is a potentially larger number as it also includes aircraft for which some data is available in the tracking data, but it is not enough to calculate a flight path, or they are duplicates across channels

Number of available CSL Models

How many CSL models have been successfully loaded from your CSL Model installation?

If this is 0 or 1 then warnings will be display instead. Please verify your CSL Model Installation.

TCAS / Multiplayer

tells you if LiveTraffic is in control of TCAS or which other plugin.

Weather Source

tells you if LiveTraffic is in control of X-Plane's weather and if so from which source (see Weather configuration) In case it is based on a METAR different from Live Weather (below), for example in case of historic weather from RealTraffic or if you entered a METAR manually, then this METAR is stated here, too.

Live Weather

is weather information LiveTraffic requests directly from AWC. The QNH value is required to convert pressure altitude to geometric altitude, the METAR can feed into weather generation.

Refresh Interval

is the currently used refresh interval in seconds. Text will indicate if an increased interval is active while flying high, see Settings > Advanced > Aircraft Selection > increase refresh to.

Channels

RealTraffic, OpenSky, ADSBEx, and ForeFlight are your data channels. "Serving # aircraft" refers to the number of aircraft this channel currently drives, visible or not.

The link icon to the left opens their respective radar view so you can check coverage, or another relevant web page per channel.
