XTrafficRecorder Version 2.20
Added conversions from CSV to XTD files and XTD to CSV files
Added conversions from CSV to XTS files and XTS to CSV files

NOTE
The easiest way to see the format is to record a test xtd and xts file.
Then convert them to cvs.
View these in a spreadsheet or text editor.
The format of the cvs file must be adhered to otherwise the plugin may crash XPlane.
I intend to make this more robust in a future version as I am a bit limited for time at present.

Version 1.10

Added "Clear Track" and "Clear All Tracks" Buttons.
Added AutoStart feature.

Use this in the XTraffic.ini file to use the AutoStart feature.
The DefaultSetFileName is whatever your set file will be.
The config below will make the aircraft start without any user interaction.

Use 1 to enable and 0 to disable

[CONFIG]
AutoStart = 1
DefaultSetFileName = KSBD to L12 Set 1.xts
HideControlPanel = 1

If these are not in the ini file it will default to no autostart.

Plugin Description

These plugins use the core code from my Flight Data Recorder/Viewer plugins that I wrote in 2003.

XTraffic does the following.

It allows you to play back up to 9 aircraft files that have been recorded with the XTrafficRecorder Plugin.
Playback can also be reversed.

Each aircraft file can be played on its own or stepped through in the forward or backward direction using the VCR type controls.
This is handy for positioning each individual aircraft relative to another.
The step size can be from 1 frame to the size of the clip.
You can speed up the playback by any factor, see the XTraffic01x10.mov and XTraffic01x100.mov files.
You can save a segment of the aircraft file by setting the mark in and mark out points.
This allows you to split a full flight into segments or just clean it up a bit.
You can loop the whole flight so it will repeat.
Aircraft that have shorter flights will loop after they reach the end.
Only aircraft that are enabled will play back.

NOTES

Before you use these plugins increase the number of aircraft to one more than the number of extra aircraft that you need.
I have written a file converter so if I decide to change the XTD file format users can convert their files..
