Not really a error, but the aircraft cfg has the callsigns as "Maple" but the readme says the callsign is "Magic". I am pretty sure it's just a mis print in the readme.

"Magic" was in the 134th FIS back in the day, but they never named a callsign after him. :lol:

    I have a question about the parking. Where would C-130's park? Would they park with the F-16's or at the other ANG parking area? I have 2 C-130's going to KBTV and they are always parking in the cargo area with FedEx.

    Joseph29,

    In the real world large military transport aircraft visiting the VT ANG park at the north end of the parking ramp just north of the the flightline hangars, but I was not involved with the development of the MAIW 158th Fighter Wing package and am not sure if and where parking for AI military transport aircraft was placed in the MAIW KBTV AFCAD.

    BTW...There is no other VT ANG parking area at KBTV. The military facility, hangar and parking ramp at the north end of Rwy 15/33 is actually for the helicopters of the VT ARNG.

      At most co-located ANG/Civil operations visiting transports will usually park at the FBO or Air Cargo ramp and be processed by contract services rather than the military. This is mostly due to the fact that most ANG operations do not have much in the way of transient services available, and FBOs are nicer.

      I've got a perplexing problem. Much of my military AI has disappeared (first noticed at BTV), but was working fine the other day. The scenery is fine. I've run ACA 2005 looking for the normal suspects (missing, sim, model). I also redownloaded the 158th package and ran the install as the admin (running windows 7).
      The following packages are also effected
      GLANG1
      CFB Trenton
      FAM (Mexican Air Force)
      Pensacola Texans
      C-17 AMC east Coast

      Here's the real curve ball, Bangor KC-135's are still showing

      Due to a windows hard crash and a corrupted backup I've been slowly reinstalling MAIW so I've only replaced a few packages thus far.

      Any help or other thoughts is most appreciated.

      Try moving your traffic slider back to 100%, it may have somehow gotten changed to a lower setting.

      Joseph there are parking issues at Burlington. As Mike stated there actually is no ANG parking for anything much larger than the fighters. The North Base complex for the ARMY National Guard is only a few years old and from my limited research was (as Mike says) used only by the Army helos. However as it was the only space large enough to house a cargo aircraft I DID insert a parking space onto it's southern apron. However I was never able to reliably get the AI to use it and did not 'code' it because that would have severly limited it's military use. This is also why I didn't code the FedEx space for them - in smaller regional airports there is a good deal of 'park where you can' when you are transient military. If you have specific aircraft that you want to use it I would suggest just installing the parking code(s) you prefer on the space and that should help you out.
