The latest update for FSLTL (Flight Simulator Live Traffic Liveries) has been released today: FSLTL Base Models 1.5. This update introduces numerous new features, improvements, and fixes that further enhance the quality and variety of aircraft models and liveries in the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). Below are all the details about this update:

New Models and Liveries

FSLTL expands its selection of aircraft models and liveries, bringing even more diversity to the virtual skies:

• New aircraft models:
  • A321F (3 new liveries)
  • A343 (8 new liveries)
  • BCS1 (5 new liveries)
  • SF34/SF34F (11 new liveries)
• Over 100 new or improved realistic liveries for existing models, increasing the total to over 2,200 liveries.
• 60+ new VA (Virtual Airline) and historical liveries designed specifically for VATSIM users.
• Expanded VMR file for VATSIM: Now includes support for the F27 model (thanks to @Andro).

Configuration Fixes and Updates

This update also introduces several configuration adjustments to improve realism and compatibility:

• Bug fixes in configuration:
  • Corrected the CXA livery to ensure that the correct livery is used for live traffic instead of the VA version.
  • Adjusted DH8D wingspan values to align with the DH8C. This improves parking assignments in airport scenarios.
  • Multiple changes to parking codes to better cover scenarios for operators and parent companies.
• Model changes:
  • Improvements to the LOD (Level of Detail) settings for the A346 model.
  • Animation updates for AT75/AT76 aircraft.
  • Various other model adjustments and optimizations.

Sound Improvements

• A notable fix addresses tire contact sounds during landing. These were removed due to issues with MSFS 2024 and BATC, resulting in a better audio environment.

Update Notes

• If the update takes too long, some users recommend performing a fresh installation. This involves downloading the Base Models package as a single large file and unpacking it afterward, which can speed up the process depending on individual system conditions.

Additional Information

• The livery list on the FSLTL website has been updated to reflect the changes in this update.
• Important: Make sure to close Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) before applying the update to avoid potential conflicts.

Conclusion

The FSLTL Base Models 1.5 update brings significant improvements and new content, offering an even more immersive experience for both VATSIM users and anyone using MSFS with realistic AI traffic. With new aircraft models, a wide range of new liveries, and important bug fixes, this update is a must-have for all FSLTL enthusiasts.
