Love at First Sight — Two Worlds Made for Each Other!
Roads Live Traffic has officially arrived in X-Plane, and we can confidently say: it was love at first sight!
X-Plane's architecture and Roads Live Traffic fit together so naturally that it feels as though they were made for each other.
The result is a new level of road traffic immersion, where intelligent vehicles navigate real-world road networks, stop at traffic lights, negotiate junctions, and behave in ways that bring the everyday world to life.
Traffic lights, illuminated roads, intersections, and realistic vehicle movements — everything comes together to transform the world beneath your aircraft.
And with live traffic streaming from ASTRA and FEDRO, Geneva certainly looked busy during rush hour!
A New Generation of Intelligent Road Traffic
Roads Live Traffic is a modern, polished, fully functional traffic management system, engineered to handle gigabytes of road network and traffic data efficiently.
It doesn't simply populate roads with random vehicles. It controls, synchronizes, adjusts, and directs traffic throughout the X-Plane environment, creating a more coordinated and believable road traffic experience.
The X-Plane edition comes equipped with a complete global road network, ready to use straight out of the box.
Installation couldn't be easier: simply place one folder into your X-Plane plugins directory, and you're ready to go!
Live Traffic Meets Intelligent Simulation
One of the most exciting features is the ability to stream real-world traffic information directly from external traffic agencies through supported APIs.
Already integrated:
ASTRA / FEDRO — Swiss traffic information
Bison Futé — French traffic information
Where live traffic information is available, Roads Live Traffic uses it to influence the traffic environment. Where live feeds are unavailable, the system automatically transitions to simulated traffic.
The result? Continuous road traffic coverage, without interruption.
The days of purely random, uncoordinated road traffic are becoming a thing of the past.
See the Traffic. Understand the Roads.
Roads Live Traffic also introduces a visual traffic monitoring system, allowing users to see road conditions directly on screen.
Traffic density is represented through intuitive color coding:
???? Green — Free-flowing traffic
???? Orange — Moderate or slowing traffic
???? Red — Heavy congestion
Traffic lights are also displayed, including their current states: red, amber, or green.
This adds an entirely new dimension to observing and understanding the living road network within X-Plane.
Powerful Controls, Simple Experience
Despite the complexity behind the scenes, Roads Live Traffic is designed to remain accessible and easy to use.
A comprehensive collection of settings allows users to fine-tune traffic behavior and performance to suit their systems.
Features include:
Global road network included
Intelligent and coordinated vehicle traffic
Traffic light awareness and vehicle stopping behavior
Real-world junction and intersection handling
Live traffic data integration
Automatic switching between live and simulated traffic
Color-coded traffic density visualization
On-screen traffic light status
Residential road traffic enable/disable controls
Adjustable traffic visibility distance
Configurable traffic quantities and density
Performance optimization settings for different hardware configurations
Simple, folder-based installation
Comprehensive, well-organized user manual
Built for Immersion. Designed for Performance.
Whether flying over the busy streets of Geneva, exploring the French road network, or discovering cities on the other side of the world, Roads Live Traffic brings another layer of activity and realism to the simulator.
From quiet residential streets to heavily congested urban roads, the system is designed to make the world below feel alive.
And thanks to its configurable traffic management engine, users can balance visual density, simulation detail, and performance according to their preferences.
Welcome Aboard, X-Plane!
Roads Live Traffic and X-Plane are a natural match.
A powerful simulation platform meets an intelligent, data-driven road traffic engine — bringing real-world information, coordinated vehicle behavior, and global road coverage together in one seamless experience.
One world. Millions of roads. Intelligent traffic. Real-world data.
