stevefranklin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello! I did a circuit from my local airfield today in FSX and noticed that the road traffic was moving at an unrealistic speed! They were cornering and attempting traffic islands what looked about 120MPH+!! There must be a CFG fix to slow down the speed of these maniacs?! Any help will be gratefully received!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budreiser Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 At least they're not changing lanes like in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cianpars Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You need to put Bristol City Council in charge of them. They will put in bus lanes, close roads, create residents parking zones that nobody wants, put 20 mph speed limits in place and create road blocks to slow the traffic down to under 10 mph.

BMG50 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Do a search for "FlusiFix"...It is the swiss army knife for FSX...Does lots of stuff in FSX including the ability to set the speed for road traffic..HTH..

jvile Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The OP is asking for help to decrease the Freeway Traffic Speed. The ORBX tool and the Flusifix tool contrary to popular belief WILL NOT decrease the Freeway Traffic Speed. Those 2 tools decrease the Ambient Airport Traffic speed by changing the max_speed_mph value in the sim.cfg files of each of the AI vehicles in SimObjects\ GroundVehicles folder. The Freeway Traffic by default is set to 100 KPH +- 10 KPH so some vehicles will pass other vehicles on the freeway. The file that controls the traffic speed is the LWcfg.spb which is a Sim-Prop Binary format type file. This Microsoft FSX file is compiled using the SDK but the work around is to use the XML format type file. PLEASE go back up to post number 4 and click on Mallcott's posted link which has the XML file that will replace the LWcfg.spb file. That file slows down the Freeway Traffic to 50 KPH but because it is in XML format the notepad will open it and you can make changes to the Freeway Traffic speed. You can also change the Ambient Traffic that spawns at airports based on Region. You can change what type Fuel Truck is used at airports. The default airports only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Lamont's web sites no longer work so the spb2xml.exe decompiler can be downloaded from http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/1655/fsx-spb2xml-utility/ Opa's Tutorial also explains the command line usage of the decompiler which is no longer required. Simply drag and drop the original spb file onto Lamont's spb2xml decompiler and the xml version will be created in the same folder. That's the problem with tutorials, they have to be updated from time to time and we all miss Opa's contributions to the Simulator world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 +1 to the road traffic speed reducer! Just tried it and it works pretty well. I would still recommend FlusiFix for the airport traffic and the crazy firetrucks and airport vehicles racing around. Also other good things like AI taxi speed, random aircraft lights flashing, etc. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvile Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 mrzippy I agree with you that flusifix has some good unique tools. I have it and use it for the airport ambient traffic and other fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
