<h2>v2.0</h2>

<h3>v2.00.200423</h3>
<h3>v2.00</h3>

<p><strong>Changed files:</strong> <code>LiveTraffic.xpl</code></p>

<ul>
<li><code>NoPlane.acf</code> is now copied into <code>&lt;X-Plane&gt;/Aircraft/LiveTraffic</code> if missing or newer,
then used from there.</li>
</ul>

<h3>v2.00.200422</h3>

<p><strong>Changed files:</strong> <code>LiveTraffic.xpl, Resources/NoPlane.acf</code></p>
<P>Please follow
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/setup/installation/upgrading-from-v1.5-to-v2.0">upgrade instructions</a>
for upgrading an existing LiveTraffic installation to version 2.0.
</P>

<ul>
<li><code>NoPlane.acf</code> is now searched in <code>&lt;X-Plane&gt;/Aircraft</code> first.
This way X-Plane keeps recognizing AI Aircraft setup, even when calling Aircraft Configuration.<br>
Added warning to <code>Log.txt</code> if <code>NoPlane.acf</code> is not found in <code>Aircraft</code> folder.
It would still load from <code>LiveTraffic/Resource</code>, though.</li>
<li>Map: Fixed helicopter icon (was errorneously ground truck, too)</li>
<li>Changed label position in 3D: Label should now appear above plane, no longer across.
Should especially help for far away planes, where previously the label obscured the plane.</li>
</ul>

<h3>v2.00.200419</h3>

<p><strong>Changed files:</strong> <code>LiveTraffic.xpl</code>, <code>MapIcon.png</code>, <code>NoPlane.acf</code></p>

<ul>
<li>Map: Ground vehicles are now represented with a truck icon</li>
<li>Map: Aircraft, which are currently mapped to AI/multiplayer slots, ie. are available on TCAS, are marked with a label put into &gt;...&lt;</li>
<li>A message is shown when switching TCAS control to inform the user that aircraft model loading is happening.</li>
</ul>

<h3>v2.00.200414</h3>

<strong>Updating from LiveTraffic v1.5</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Replace all files with the new ones from the ZIP archive downloaded here.</li>
<li>Remove the no longer needed <code>64/</code> folder including its binaries.
New binaries are now in the <code>lin/mac/win_64/</code> folders.</li>
<li>Remove <code>Resources/lights.png</code>.</li>
<li>If you had run <code>CSL2XSB</code> before using the
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/setup/installation/csl2xsb#making-csl-packages-unique-to-livetraffic">Making CSL Packages unique</a>
option, then you <strong>must</strong> run <code>CSL2XSB</code> again,
now <i>without</i> selecting "make...unique".
If you forget this step then plane models will not
show any animations.</li>
</ul>

Change log:

<ul>
<li><strong>Supports X-Plane 11 only.</strong> No longer compatible with X-Plane 10.</li>
<li><strong>Supports X-Plane 11 only.</strong><br>
REMOVED compatibility with X-Plane 10.
A legacy version compatible with XP10 is
<a href="https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/61021-livetraffic-for-xp10/">provided separately</a>.
</li>
<li>Now uses latest plugin directory structure: Binaries are in
<code>lin/mac/win_64/</code> subdirectories, each containing
<code>lin/mac/win_64</code> subdirectories, each containing
one <code>LiveTraffic.xpl</code> file.
<li>ADDED <strong>support for Vulkan/Metal</strong>, re-implemented the core library,
now using <a href="https://github.com/TwinFan/XPMP2">XPMP2</a>.
This means complete reimplementation of (and potentially new bugs in):
<ul>
<li>Reading CSL models.<br>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Only OBJ8 models
are now supported! See <code>Log.txt</code> for unaccepted
are now supported! See your <code>Log.txt</code> for unaccepted
models.</li>
<li>Model matching.</li>
<li>Model matching, the new approach is explained in
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/reference/faq#matching">this FAQ</a></li>
<li>TCAS support had to take a
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/introduction/features/tcas#how-it-works">completely new approach</a>, too</li>
<li>AI/multiplayer support.</li>
</ul>
But also means a new feature:
<li>ADDED a
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/introduction/features/display-of-aircraft#x-planes-map">map layer "LiveTraffic"</a>
to X-Plane's internal map showing <i>all</i> aircraft under LiveTraffic's control.
</li>
<li>REMOVED the following settings:
<ul>
<li>ADDED a map layer "LiveTraffic" to X-Plane's internal map
showing <i>all</i> aircraft under LiveTraffic's control.<br>
<strong>Known issue:</strong> XP crahses with "many" (>40?) aircraft to display.
Reported to Laminar as crash report.</li>
<li><i>Max number of full a/c to draw</i> and
<i>Max distance for drawing full a/c</i> in
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/setup/configuration/settings-advanced">Advanced settings</a>.
v2.0 no longer distinguishes "full" from "lights only" drawing.
Aircraft are always drawn in full.
</li>
<li><i>Register original libxplanemp CSL dataRefs</i>
from <a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/setup/configuration/settings-csl">CSL Settings</a>.
<a href="https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/v/v1.50/setup/installation/csl2xsb#making-csl-packages-unique-to-livetraffic">Making CSL Packages unique to LiveTraffic"</a>
