I have the scenery from UK2000, which looks good, but no AFCAD for it! I tried using the default AFCAD, bit the a/c won't take off, just sit on runway! Anyone help me?

The first thing that comes to mind: missing hold short nodes or hold short nodes that are too far from the runway.

The default AFCAD has no runway / taxi links, only start positions on the runway.
So not really set up for AI.

Portland is now closed except for the Coast Guard copter which is moving to Lee-on-Solent soon due to Government cuts.. I did do a scenery for Portland that matches the VFR scenery abd is AI friendly but never tested it on the default scenery.

Hi Dave

Send me your email address in a PM and I'll send you what I've got to try out. As I say it was designed to fit in with VFR Photographic scenery.

Cheers
John
