When traffic is taking off on runway 08 and uses the turning circle,the aircraft doesn't align with the runway after the turn, but takes off on the grass at the side. I have tried fiddling with the taxiways and nodes via AFCAD but with no luck. I have shortened the runway so that the aircraft takes off from the 08 holding point with no backtrack but this does not allow enough distance for takeoff for the 757s etc. and they finish up running out of runway. Not very realistic. Any help on this problem will be much appreciated,Mick Francis

I am considering an upgrade to an athlon 2.200+ and 512meg of 2700 ddr ram with gigabyte mb video card is gforces 64. If you have a system in this ball park, what kind of frames are you reporting with heavy AI installed.***Understand there are many varables to this and really just curious.tks Bill

HiIm using Torben Andersen s nice AFCAD file for the above; it works fine but the static aircraft need to be removed anyone know how...not as easy as moving EGLLstat cos it aint there; Gays update incorporate these into bgl I think?Any ideas or other recommendations of which to use.Can the 7 overlay file by Chong Kezheng be used with this scenery add on or no; likewise I could then use his flight plans??Hope so!!!Any help appreciated..bfnSun

Hi virtual pilots,I have a big problem with my AI-Aircrafts (different airlines). I have build my own flightplans and they seem to work fine. To save as many free gates as possible, my AI-flightplans have around 16 legs, but less than 100. Now to the problem, most of my AI-Aircraft, which landed at e.g. PHNL and must start after 20min again to the next Leg, disappear after they have started their engines.The AI-Aircraft taxi to the gate after landing, switch of their engines, and park at the gate for the exact time, they have to park.I have tested different aircraft, default MS Aircraft, but always the same problem, they disappear after they started their engines, but on…

I just installed World Airport (SimFlyers) gotta say I love them!However the problem is I have already existing files for KDFW for example. Simflyers installes it's new afcad file with gates etc. which is good, the aircraft uses correct rwy etc. but now I end up with these:KDFW - by simflyersKDFW - one I already haveDFW1 through DFW6 - the overlayshaving TWO KDFW is where I see might be a problem? any way to fix it? would simply opening the "unwanted KDFW" file and deleting all it's content (rwy's, taxi all nodes etc) would it do the trick?Thanks for help.Andy

Hi, This may seem like silly question: Why is it that when some afcad file are imported and saved and you go to that airport and the airport is loaded with aircrafts while other afcad imports don't have much aircraft? I have looked at some of the files and they show lot of planes but when I go there, there is hardly any planes. Thank you for any help, S.

I'm looking for Delta Conncection flight plans. I have Comair courtesy of WorldAI, but I do not have ASA, whcih is what I'm really looking for right now (just to add that much more traffic to KATL!) and it is not included in the DL plans, just the Dornier jets in the Northeast. I was in KAVL this weekend, and I have US Airways and Comair represented, but not ASA or CO Express (all of the carriers serving AVL). That and I need to do a terminal building for the airport :) they just show the control tower where the terminal should be.Tim

I screwed up my aircraft.txt file; can anyone email me an original( or near original;)Thanks,[email protected]

Hey everyone,I really need some info. I''m trying to get specific aircraft to park at specific gates. I've tried using overlays, but the airport I'm doing only has one runway, so I ran into all sorts of problems. There are only five gates at this airport, used by 3 different airlines. Is there a way to connect a gate to a specific title in an aircraft.cfg file? Does anyone know a tool that will help me out, of if Lee Swordy is planning an update with this feature? Thanks.

This may seem like a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find any answers to it in the AFCAD documentation. Here goes: Do the AC#'s in the aircraft.txt file need to be in numerical order and can there be numbers omitted in the sequence? Thanks for any input.Ray

Hi,I've added some new AI aircraft with the use of the worldai flight plans. When I go into FS I see all the new aircraft parked at the gates and flying around, but some of the aircraft have no textures or missing textures. I set the aircraft texture size to massive and that helped on some aircraft, but on others I still see partial texturing. Sometimes I can look at an aircraft and see textures on the tail and some of the fuselage, then I'll look at it again and I'll see full texturing on the fuselage and no textures on the tail. Also in particular the Yeodesign 737-200 doesn't display any textures ever. Any ideas?Michael

hi,I just created an overlay for EHAM.Whenever I want to select my departure airport with "create a flight" or when I select "go to airport" in flight,FS crashes to the desktopthis only occured after I installed the overlay,so I guess the overlay causes the whole problem,but why?any help appreciatedregards,Sebastian

Hi,I'm new to this and if this has been covered somewhere else on the forum, I've missed it and appoligize in advanc for the repeated question...In adding planes in the aircraft.txt folder, what does thesecond number (200 in this example)mean and how do decide what number to put there when adding additional aircraft. I've been using AI shuffler if this info is needed.AC#1,200,"Beech Baron 58"Thanks in advance for your help.Jerry

I'm having a serious problem. Recently, whenever I modify or import certain airports in AFCAD, all airports in eurnwafd.bgl become inaccessible through the go to airport menu. No runways, or gates are available and no flight plans can be generated through the default flight planner. I've tried using both older and newer versions of AFCAD (there are only two, right?) and the problem persists. Does it have anything to do with how FS compiles the scenery file indices?Any help is greatly appreciated as my FS is pretty unuseable right now.Misha

Hi allJust started FS2002 & all of my AI traffic has gone!!! (I don't use default AI).Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!CheersJosh

I've about pulled out all my hair trying to figure out how to eliminate all the formation flying by the Commercial AI's.I've tried all the tips/tricks I could find on the forum (2) and I am still getting clusters of AI in all phases of flight.Is there a utility or something that will allow a search to compare orgin/destination/arrival&departure times to eliminate these thesethese AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGG....I'm ok now.Pls help.

Hi there,with PAI, the number of Cargo aircraft available does increase more and more. But: The flightplans for Cargo airlines seem to miss, yet.Does anyone know, where AI flightplans for Cargo Airlines are available (i have been in Newark on Sunday, and it seems to be a larger Fedex Hub, it is SO nice).Thanx in advanceBodo

Hi, I just installed "Yroute" and the author does not give step by step insructions on how to use it. It looks like good program when one learns to run it. Can someone who is familiar with "Yroute" tell me exactly how to use this program? I would appreciate so very much. Thank you, S.

OK, so I went slightly nuts and created ten overlays for KEWR. When I loaded it up first everything seemed fine. All airlines were at their proper gates and were using the proper runways. Here's the odd thing. Three of the overlays are currently unused because I don't have flightplans for them: 1. UPS, 2. other Cargo carriers using the North ramp, and 3. GA. Every aircraft that arrived, no matter what overlay it was assigned to was directed to taxi to the North Ramp parking area, which should not exist as an option in the AFCAD files for any of their destination overlays! What's more bizarre, all heavies (757 and up) never contacted ground and just sat on the runway turno…

Hello,I have had problems with PAI's autoinstallers. Is there anyway for me to get all the aircraft config files without using the autoinstallers?.I have manually installed all of the PAI aircraft textures. What i am looking for is the aircraft.cfg file which contains all the setups for the different textures._________________________________________________________________________EXAMPLE:[fltsim.X]title=PAI B737 SWAsim=Project Ai 737-700model=panel=sound=texture=SWAatc_id=atc_airline=SOUTHWESTatc_flight_number=ui_manufacturer=Project Aiui_type=Boeing 737-700ui_variation=Southwest Airlinesdescription=Project Ai B737-700 Only for use with Ai Traffic!_____________________…

Hi There:Anyone have a few flight plans to/from KMSP Minneapolis St-Paul? I'd be much-obliged!lAlex CN562ZMinneapolis, MN

Hi people:TTools is not updating my traffic.bgl file anymore. It was working fine when I last added a few things to it in June, but although the compiler runs fine, after I reboot FS2002 the traffic.bgl file and all the information therein is from the June modification? Any ideas? I saw JData's post earlier which talked about putting TTools in a new directory....could that be it? Any ideas would be much appreciated, there are a lot of new plans and planes I'd like to add too my FS world.Regards, Alex CN562ZMinneapolis, MN

A couple of yRoute users asked me to add the following to my AI traffic editing tool (One request was a while back, but I don't think I ever announced it):1) Convert all the legs from one airport to another to a fixed flight level.2) Split the traffic at a single airport into two. E.g. If you have KLAX and you add an overlay for 2LAX, initially KLAX will have 100% of the traffic and 2LAX will have none. Using this new feature you can split it 80/20, 60/40 or any other combination (including 0/100) with resolution of 5% You can also use the feature if you add gates to an airport and you want to divert some flights there. E.g. Take 20% of the traffic from another airpor…

What utility do I use to get rid of duplicate AI flightplans without making any other changes to my AI flightplans? Is there such a utility at present?

This is a real news story that appeared on CNN's web site 8/15/02. In case you don't get to it before they clean house, it states that Vanguard, which has filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations, may be purchased by the owners of a popular restaurant chain.http://money.cnn.com/2002/08/15/news/deals...rs.ap/index.htmIt may be a bit premature for the pure real-world AI types, but I'd like to see if any of you repainters out there have any suggestions for a Hooters Air livery...:-hah
