I recently tried to remove the default (bogus) airlines/aircraft using PIA removal software, but no luck. Is there any other way to remove them?Thanks Phillyflyer

I am trying to get the AI at CYBD, Bella Coola to land, they take off but appear to not be able to make it down due to high terrain close by. I'm using Holger's Bella Coola valley and it really makes the terrain a factor. Also they don't seem to be able to do touch and goes. Am I screwed due to the proximity of the terrain? I have great static aircraft that do takeoff but just no landers, no big deal, but wondering if Im missing something.Heres the threadhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=229808&page=Hornit

Hi.I'm new to AFCAD and just wondered, can we make alterations to the default lighting for the runways and approach strobes etc.I did see these in the airport settings for the runways, and I understand that this will not be available for all the default runways, but it will be for some.am I correct in this !thanks.

ve been running basically the same GA-Traffic bgl for some time now with out modification. Had done some test flying one night... the next day I tried to go into a flight and CDT'd at the point where It'd tried to load the traffic. Easy to trouble shoot as I had only 3 traffic BGL's (MS, specific single airport & GA-Traffic) Moved the GA-Traffic out of directory and poof it ran. I've regenerated the traffic bgl, I've re-generated all the support db's that GA-Traffic uses to vreate the traffic file. I've even fully re-installed the GA-Traffic program all to no avail. I still CDT. The "only thing I can think of that may have changed around the same time (not user of the…

Hi gentlemen, Merry Christmas!I tried for a while to build AI sea traffic and for small boats it's fine but when I try with a large ship I can see the ship moving around ok but non contrail wake effect. And if try the ship as "flyable aircraft" I can see the wake effect all right.Why the effect does not show for large wake as it does for small one?Any help?Thanks a lotChristian, Paris

Okay, I've got another chapter in my weird tale of trying to add some AI traffic to my airport. This time the problem is that I've got two AI aircraft that want to inhabit the same parking spot. One will already be there, and another will just taxi up and take the exact same space, appearing to merge with the already parked aircraft. I've checked my AFCAD and there is definitely only one space. I thought maybe if two parking spaces each shared a taxiway node they might get confused, so I've added separate and distinct nodes to turn off the taxiway onto each parking spot, but I still get the bunching! Has anyone had this happen and found a resolution?thanks,

Could anyone please tell me if there is a way to save flight data (a series of Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Heading and Airspeed values) from MSFS2004 ? This data is retrievable in a one-second time resolution for the entire flight in the Flight Analysis feature.Also, is there a documentation for Flight Video (.FSR) file format ?Thanks a lot !George

Hello,To follow AI flights, I use the freeware Most Realistic AI's Traffic View Board.I was following a flight from SIN to EWR (in real life, this would relate to SQ20/21). Everytime it flies over the North Pole it would disappear.It also happens in the opposite direction, disappearing at the same position as the abovementioned flight.Therefore, this led me to be curious...I would like to present some general AI questions so that I can compile those and narrow down the possibilities as to why my AI aircraft can disappear over the North Pole.Here are my questions:1. Why do AI aircraft disappear?2. Which places (taxiway, over the ocean, etc...) are AI most likely to disappe…

Just wondering...

I'm working on some military touch-and-go flights and I'm hitting the wall with a couple of problems. The aircraft are all the same WWII-vintage prop fighters, and I'm trying to get them to go in groups of 3 or 4, taxi out, fly a couple of circuits and land again. I can make them all start up within a couple of minutes of one another, and three will even take off and get into the pattern. However, because of the short time it takes to make one circuit at their assigned altitude of 1500', by the time the fourth plane is at the hold-short point and ready to take off, the others are coming around for their touch-and-goes already. After a while of waiting, the fourth plane ev…

I'm new to AFCAD. Ok, this is day 3, and the first time I have tried to add an airfields details. I have amended runways/parking on other airfields. I'm using fs2002 and have AFCAD and TT loaded. I'm sure this has been covered before, but can't find it on the forum so far. Here goes!I have British Airports Central England (as well as VFR photographic scenery) loaded and have tried to use AFCAD to add the runways etc for Saltby airfield. I used RAF Cottesmore as the seed file, save it and exported it into AFCAD. locked it and fs2002 together and then tried to insert a runway. Have followed Lee's instructions, but find the runway does not go in on the runway headings (07/25…

I have a large amount of FS2004 traffic files generated with Traffic Tools. Is there any advantage from a perfomance perspective in combining some or all of them into large BGL files or is it better to leave them as individual files?Doug

Hi i just got going with TT Tools and i want to set up KPIT to the point. So i am creating the traffic but i was wondering if there was a way for me to assign the traffic to a specific gate? i hope theres a fix. I got an AFCAD for PIT so i hope this wont mess things up.Thanks to anyone who can help!Pat

Is ther a maximum number of legs per flight that you can have in FS2002?For some reason this flight does not appear in FS2002.

I'm currenly using FS2002 and adding flight plans. I've noticed that some flight plans have airports that are not in the Airport.txt file. I believe I have to add the airport to the airport.txt file, but where do you obtain the correct info about a certatin airport?For example, where with in FS2002 can I find airport info that contains this info: CYEG,N53* 18.58',W113* 34.78',2372

I have recently installed two new Hawker Hunter AI aircraft. The flight plans work fine and ATC uses the correct call signs that I have inserted into the aircraft.cfg. However, when referring to these aircraft for traffic alerts etc, ATC still uses the term "experimental".I have checked EditVoicePack and there is a correct aircraft model sound for Hunter yet I cannot get FS9 to recognise it. The EditVoice help suggests that I need to install an AC_MODEL sound - but I can find no advice on where to find the ac-model list.V grateful for any help in changing "experimental" for the correct ATC call.

Ok. So I added some traffic then went into FS to observe. The traffic flew to about 5nm from the airport then disappeared and appeared parked at a gate, without completing a propper landing and taxi. I thought "Ok well I'll check take off". So I waited and the plane lumbered out and took off. I followed it for a bit. It got about 15nm away from the airport and disappeared. I added 15 minutes to the arrival time, recomplied and abserved again. Exactly the same thing happened. Can anyone help? Do I need to install the 9.1 patch?Thanks in advance,Crackers

Howdy All, For some reason all of my AI ground traffic is gone. Also the ai aircraft that should appear parked are not there. I uninstalled and reinstalled FS9. My afcad bgls for the local airports have many parking spaces and the traffic bgl generated from TTools is were it should be. I have also gone to the traffic setup and have the slider at 100% and GA and Commercial checked.Any help is appreciated.p.s. not a newbie

I have version 2.02 and I have been humming along just fine with Ttools, having done many, many ai routes with it. Last night I doubleclicked the exe file and it won't open at all. Strange. I went and re-installed a fresh exe file, and nothing.Does anyone have any idea what might cause this and how to fix it?Normally I can fix anything in FS9, but this one has me baffled, any help will be appreciated.Lee:-hmmm

Hi all,I would say I know a lot about AI traffic in FS9(AFCAD, TTools), but what I can't understand is the BASICS of how a flight works.eg:EGCC-EGLL takes 32 Minutes to complete one way (according to TTools)An A320 leaves EGCC at 12:00 and it will arrive at EGLL at 12:32 (approximately) Right?If the repeat time is 2Hr then what time will it take of from EGLL?AND what time will it arrvive at EGCC?What would happen if the repeat time (say 1 Hr) is shorter than the time it needs to return? Does the repeat time mean at EGCC or EGLL?Thanks Mike Brand

Does anyone know if Empire Airlines is a PAX mover OR Cargo??At http://www.flytecomm.com/cgi-bin/trackflight I don't see any other Cessna Caravan 1-208 + Cargomaster listed. So I figure these are Fedex?I want to make FltPLns for PDX FE Locals.

So I am reading posts that say AFCAD 2 doesn't allow crossing runways to be used?And I see some AVSIM Library files with banners proclaiming a new method to achieve crossing runway usage.For example; I want to make Milwaukee Mitchell (KMKE) use runway 1L for arrivals and 7R for departures, These runways cross each other approx midway. KMKE has parrallel runways, but one of each parrallelis way too short for commercial use.Is the method to do this different from AFCAD 1?Will the AFCAF modified airport do strange things? Will the AI actually use the crossing runways I tell them to?I need some direction here before I plow into AFCAD 2 or else I'm sure I'll screw up something…

How can I assign AI aardvark planes to the default flight sim 2004 flight plans (replace default aircraft with aardvark ones) Thanks a lot in advanceTyler

Hi,I'm looking to add the RNZAF Skyhawk package for FS2002 as AI to FS2004. I have an FS2004 Skyhawk that works fine, however when I change the aircraft number over (having tested the flight, which works), the plane doesn't appear on the tarmac.The FS2002 plane is flyable, although it did give me the "do you want to disable features etc.etc." line when I started to use it. Is there something missing from the aircraft.cfg, or is this a lost cause?Cheers,Mike.

Hi there,I am using afcad2 for fs2004 and i made some adjusments for Amsterdam airport regarding runway use. I.E. i closed 24 for landing... saved everything... so i was flying from EFMA to EHAM and guess what... "expect visual runway 24" ... well i be.... $@#@$ Please help !GrtzArjen
