PSXT Quick Start Guide, Feb 1st , 2024
Here are the steps needed to get PSXT up and running with MSFS.
A. If you have not yet an AI aircraft package installed in MSFS:
By far the best, largest and longest available AI aircraft package for MSFS today is AIG. Be aware
that it takes an afternoon to install all.
Note that you only need the AIG AI Manager for downloading airlines models and liveries, not
the AIG Traffic Controller.
An alternative to AIG is to download the FSLTL base models, that will give you 2007 AI aircraft
immediately. See this video: "How to use FSLTL aircraft with PSXT".
Another quick alternative is the install FSTraffic. PSXTraffic will use the models/liveries in
justflight-aircraft-traffic-fleet only.
B. Go to the My website and download PSXT for MSFS.
Extract the zip file and run the setup file with administrator rights.
Install at your Simulator computer. The default install locations is C:\PSXT
You may change that to another location/drive, but don’t install it in the Community folder or in
the Program Files folders, and preferably do not change these installation folder names!
C. Go to the RealTraffic website and buy a 24-day standard license for USD $9.99 (no automatic
renewal. You will receive a license by email.
Do NOT download and install the RT software (there is no need too).
D. Make sure you have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019. The
standalone installer for x64 (vc_redist.x64.exe) can be downloaded here at Microsoft.
Start MSFS, and set these options:
Start PSXT.exe via the short cut at your desktop.
It may say “RT did not recognise your license”. Exit PSXT and add the RT license string in the
RealTraffic.lic file you will now find in your PSXT installation folder.

A few important tips for a smooth start
Community folder
PSXTraffic will search for your MSFS Community folder first. If found it will show it, if not found you
must provide information:
Type a full path to your Community folder in the “Community Folder” text box of the
PSXTraffic window and press Enter. You may give it up/to or with Community included, like:
C:\MSFS\Community
or
C:\MSFS
Parameters in the PSXT window (GUI)
Use all default settings, don’t change anything before you have read the Manual.
User destination airport, where are you flying to?
Type in the GUI the ICAO code of the airport you are (going to fly) or are flying to, and hit Enter. If
you do that PSXTraffic will park static aircraft and put live aircraft at the airport when the airport is in
sight, and you are still high in the air. If you leave it empty PSXTraffic will only detect where it is,
when you have landed , and it will then start parking static aircraft.
What to do with empty airports?
Not all addon airport are already off-line learned (filled) by PSXT and RealTraffic. You may have
bought an addon that is unknown to PSXT.
Please zip the folder “TO_BE_LEARNED_OFFLINE” (you can find that in the PSXT installation folder)
and mail that to [email protected].
Good chance that the next version of PSXT will have these airport files filled available!
