Really live traffic!
With PSXseeconTraffic (PSXT) you can fly world wide with real live traffic in P3D and FSX.
Flying with live traffic gives you an awesome immersion. You can position your aircraft in the queue for landing or departure at your favourite airport and really see all these familiar airlines and aircraft around you. The traffic information at the TCAS in your aircraft is making the flight experience much more real. See for instance this link to a YouTube live stream (24/7) with real world air traffic in P3Dv4 at KLAX airport with live Atc and live Weather.
In contrast to other AI programs there are no schedules needed or information about delays or about runways in use. Everything goes like in real live, automatically. You may for instance see aircraft making a Go-Around or aircraft queing up for the de-icing stations. Aircraft follow the real SIDs, STARs and jetways!
PSXT injects aircraft in your Flight Simulator as real as it gets, depending on how many different types of AI aircraft you have installed.
All live aircraft within 100 nm laterally can be shown in your Simulator and it can park AI aircraft at your origin and destination airports.
PSXT can park static aircraft at your origin and destination airports. By self learning it will detect automatically what airlines park at what gate with what type of aircraft at what hour of the day automatically!
PSXT is light on frames, even with hundreds of AI aircraft, while all aircraft calculations take place outside your FlightSimulator.
PSXT does not come with AI aircraft, you should install these yourself. The easiest and cheapest way to start with is to install the Fly Ai aircraft package, a free download from VATSIM and Boston Virtual ARTCC.
For more advanced use you can take (a mix of) almost all payware or freeware AI liveries available in the market, such as from FSPXAI, FAIB, Traffic Global, FLAi, FTX AU, WoAI, IVAO_MTL, MT6, UTL, AIA, AIG, Raven FS Labs and many others.
Real-live flight data can be provided by a payware program called RealTraffic from Inside Systems Pty Ltd.
If you are not interested in live traffic, or you find the costs of a real traffic subscription too high, you can still use PSXT to get parked static aircraft at the origin and destination airports of your flight. Exactly at the right spot, with the right heading, the right type and the right airline! Very nice when flying alone or on-line: you do not arrive at an almost deserted airport.

Yes and no, my applications may be used free of charge. However, "free of charge" must not be confused with "completely free".

Protocol
Are you a data provider, or do you have live traffic data from a ADS-B USB Dongle + Indoor Antenna? This document PSXseeconTraffic Protocol describes how you can interface with PSXseeconTraffic.
