Traffic showing on tcas
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:45:37 am »
I am running with no AI traffic, and this is the only airport that it happens. When on approach with an airplane to KLAS, there are numerous traffic that appear on the tcas. I am guessing they are ground vehicles of some sort? Why does this happen and can I remove it?

Yes, they are both ground vehicles and scenery objects. You can't remove them, otherwise you wouldn't see much scenery.

The way this should be fixed, is to ask the developer or the TCAS instrument you are using, to fix his gauge to display *Airplane* Traffic only, which something that Simconnect surely allows, instead of asking for everything.

Ok, thanks. It's the PMDG 737NGX so not sure why it doesn't work right.

That likely because the TCAS is asking Simconnect for all kind of traffic, instead of asking for just airplane traffic.
