[SaabGripen121]

i'm having problems i install the package, put the scenary on and use edit voicepack but there is never traffic at the airbase
could someone help me

Am I right in thinking that you use FSX? If so it won't work straight out of the box for FSX you have to do a bit of conversion.

This forum is only for FS9 support. FSX support for every package is given by users who have FSX installed on this forum http://www.militaryaiworks.com/newforum ... =15&t=6975

Now, if it is an FS9 problem then tell us whether you see the scenery or not.

[SaabGripen121]

No i am using FS9

[SaabGripen121]

Yes I see the scenary but no aircraft

[Firebird]

OK in which case there are some standard things to check.
Firstly, that there is only one afcad for EGXC. There are several ways of doing this but the easiest way is to use afcad or afx and search for EGXC. If there are more than one they will tell you.

The next thing to check is that you have your traffic percentage set to 100% in FS9. if not it will reduce the amount of traffic you see.

Check to see if you have got any other EGXC scenery installed that could be affecting this.

The next thing I would do is go here , http://aifs.pvdveen.net/, and download ACA2005 Aircraft Analyzer 2005 and run it against your system to see what errors it picks up.

My feeling here is that you haven't added the scenery. The reason being that you would get some aircraft appear at Coningsby, plus the Jaguar traffic bgl is installed in the scenery folder. If you don't install the scenery you will not get the Jaguars.

Let us know what you find.

[SaabGripen121]

i have no duplicate files of coningsby, but i ran the program you asked me to run and there was no aircraft from coningsby on there i believe that may be the problem

[Firebird]

OK so if ACA2005 didn't pick up any errors then we can rule out that you have the flightplans installed but no aircraft.

It means that either the flightplans are not installed or neither flightplans nor aircraft are installed.

Lets get basic in your FS9\Aircraft folder do you have the following folders :-
MAIW_NBAI EF Typhoon F2 RAF Coningsby
MAIW_NBAI EF Typhoon T1 RAF Coningsby
MAIW_NBAI_JAG_GR3 RAF Coningsby
MAIW_NBAI_JAG_T4 RAF Coningsby
MAIW_PAI Tornado RAF Coningsby

In your FS9\Scenery\World\Scenery folder do you have:-
Traffic_Military AI Works 121EAW.bgl

In your FS9\Addon scenery\MAIW RAF Coningsby\scenery folder do you have :-
Traffic_EGXC_FlyBy.bgl
Traffic_EGXC_Jaguar_6Sqn.bgl

Finally, in your FS9\Addon scenery\Scenery folder do you have :-
MAIW_AF2_EGXC_DEFAULT_MM.bgl

If you have have all of those then you have the scenery, afcad, aircraft and traffic files to see the aircraft.

[SaabGripen121]

I don't have the Aircraft files, the traffic file or the scenary file.
i only have the jaguar flypast file

[Firebird]

Errm well the package hasn't been installed then.

Now one question occurs to me, do you have your FS9 installed to the default directory, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9, or somewhere else? The reason is that the installer assumes that is where it is. If it isn't then you need to alter the path to the correct place.

If you have the folder somewhere else then you can just drag and drop the folders from where they were installed to the correct place, or delete them all and re-install to the correct location.

Does this fix the problem?

[SaabGripen121]

yes i have it in C:/Program files/Microsoft games/Flight Simulator 9 but i also have it in C:Program files(x86)/Microsoft games/flight simulator 9

[Firebird]

Sorry, I didn't quite understand.
Are you saying that the problem is fixed now, or that you know have the folders in two places and it still doesn't work, or that the folders are in C:/Program files/Microsoft games/Flight Simulator 9 and your FS9 is in C:Program files(x86)/Microsoft games/flight simulator 9?

[SaabGripen121]

No i haven't solved it
the package is in the two places but it still dosen't work

[Firebird]

OK lets try something, an I am not saying that this will solve everything but it has to be worth a try.

Delete both installations that you have in your system completely. Re-install being careful to point the installer to the location of your FS9 folder, and then re-check the folders that I mentioned a few posts ago. Hopefully, this time somrthing will click into place.

[SaabGripen121]

YES!!! I have some ai traffic there now thank you so much! but i don't have all the aircraft i have a few typhoons and some jaguars no tornados

[Firebird]

Progress! OK so it seems that the original install was at fault here.

Now the fact that you have the Typhoons and the Jaguars mean that you should have the Tornados as well. There are only 7 of them. 2 of them are 25 sqn and reside in shelters on the southern side of the airfield, parking code of QRA, the other 5 are of 41R sqn and park on the front line of the apron.

Now to see all of our traffic you have to have your traffic percentage set to 100%, if it is lower than this then not all the traffic will appear.

What I would do know is check to see you can see the F3s in the HAS, and see what your traffic percentage is set to. Also now that you have some traffic rerun ACA2005 and see if any errors pop up.

[SaabGripen121]

Another problem though is that i think the afcads did not install properly because there are hangers but no taxiways to them there is just grass and some of the buildings are right in the middle of taxiways that are there

[SaabGripen121]

also i don't have all the typhoons and jaguars just a few

[SaabGripen121]

ACA2005 said the typhoons were missing ATC_Parking codes and types, ATC_Airline, ATC_ID, ATC Flight Number. The Jaguars were; not in the flightplans, missing ATC_ID,ATC_Airline,ATC Parking codes and types. This was the same with the tornado's

[Firebird]

OK whilst I think about the ACA2005 results, can you do the same checks that I asked back in the 2 May posting.

It doesn't sound like the RAF Coningsby scenery folder has been activated properly. If you didn't remove the entry from your scenery.cfg when you uninstalled it it, can you do that now. Then try re-adding it. I don't think that this is the cause, if it was you wouldn't see any Jags.

The checks say where MAIW_AF2_EGXC_DEFAULT_MM.bgl should be. Everything seems to be saying that you have another EGXC afcad in your system or that the package one is not installed. The easiest way to check is that is to open up either AFCAD or AFX and look for EGXC. They will list all the afcads found in your system for EGXC. Hopefully you will see 2, MAIW_AF2_EGXC_DEFAULT_MM which is the highest priority and the default one which has no parking.
The reason I think that you have another one is that the default has no parking spots so nothing would appear. You don't have UK2000 installed do you?

[SaabGripen121]

No i don't have UK2000 installed but in the afcad file there is nothing with MAIW_EGXC on it. There is no MAIW_EGXC files in the scenary file as well
