Re: "Where Eagles Dare"

I would tend to agree there, John.
What is achievable in '24 is remarkable but it is hampered by the shear scale of the project. With FS9 it was far more limited so they could get resources to address issues.

At the moment on the official '24 forums it tends to be a lot of people sounding off on ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

The FS9 folder contains libs for FS9 and the FSX folder contains libs for FSX.
It is that simple. If you are using the wrong lib then objects will either not show or will have no textures.

If you are in any doubt compare the two folders. You should have the same number of comparable libs in each.

MAIW Scenery Library Objects folder is for FS9, MAIW Scenery Library Objects FSX is for FSX.

Re: Marine Corps CH-53 Sea Stallions

I did a quick check and Mark didn't do flight plans with his Sqns. It seems like nobody else ever released an archive of plans only.
It seems that the best chance is that somebody who created plans for themselves is kind enough to zip them up and make them available.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials

According to sources the L100-20 is a 2.5m stretch and the standard -30 is a 4.5m stretch. Therefore if you want complete accuracy you will have to stay with the HTAI model for those.

If they are not included anywhere then try searching google. Quite often something like '909th ars callsign' will highlight a page that has an answer.

Re: Missing texture in scenery

There are flightplans out there that specifically mention the PAI model.
Now it could be that people have amended those to fit the MAIW model, but with the issues that you had trying to get your system up and running they may be wary of trying to expect you to do that.

It might be that somebody ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

The most obvious reason that there is no traffic at a location is that that there is no traffic file that contains any movements for the airfield.

If you have checked and found that you do have one or more traffic files that contain movements then the next thing to check is that you have the ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

I will believe you. I just feel that if you have issues then simplify it as much as possible.

Now if you will were to simplify it and you still had issues then there is something else at issue other than paths. Sometimes you have to go back to basics to find the issue.

Keep of a copy of your ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

Are you sure that full path names are acceptable rather than relative pathnames to the SimObjects folder?
If they are then try putting the pathname in quotes due to the spaces.

The other thing that could be a factor is that C:\Program Files (x86) is a restricted folder as far as the OS is concerned.

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

Making a copy of the traffic files would not cause this issue - unless you deleted the originals as well.
The traffic files have to be be found in a valid FSX path to be picked up, so on their own the files on your desktop would not be found.

Now, the fact that AIFP couldn't find aircraft says that ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

From what I see they should do.
What I don't know enough about the sim is whether or not the config expects the defined folders under the default Simobjects location or not.

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

You see that Simobjects is only for models so if you moved your traffic files under your new folders then I don't think that they would show up.

If you moved them then put them back into the \scenery\world\scenery folder and see if your traffic reappears.
Now looking at that requestor it would seem ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

You are trying to make things too separate for your AI stuff. The folders defined are simple one level elements. To do what you are trying to do will need you to define each individual named folder and add them individually to FSX.cfg.

I don't understand why you would wish to do it that way. Put ...

Re: AI Aircraft appear at some bases but not others

From what I understand is that the short is yes you do as MCX uses tools from the SDKs in its conversion.
In reality you need the one that loads its current format and understands the structure, and the other one to save to the new format. If you were to expand to include FSX mdls then you would ...
