Hmm! I'm obviously doing something wrong, after I did the change the aircraft shook and shuddered on taxi then as it was about to takeoff it bounced all over the place, plus I could see the gear was still down.

Thanks Steve, I just downloaded the latest version, yes a bit different that the one I had, I will try again mate.

Col.

I did a search and on the MCX forum it said this was the stable version (v1.3.00) so I downloaded it, I'll see if I can find the version you refer to unless you have a link please.


Col.

Is this the MCX you have, I've tried different things but no luck, I think I'll just have to live with the gear down?

Col.

I got some step by step instructions of how to do it, I was doing a few things wrong, the last step said to rename the model that has been converted then 'SAVE' it but also make sure it is renamed in the sim, I did this but still the gear is down. I saw a clip on Youtube where one guy altered the CF...

Thanks Henk, I must have done something wrong, I've not used MCX before, I thought I had it sorted but on the test the model bounced all over and the gear was still down, I'll keep at it.

Col.

I asked this on another forum, I think I read somewhere the best way was to use MCX to lock the wheels up but I may have misread it, I have got MCX but couldn't see where to do this. I was told in the other forum it can't be done with MCX but it can be done in the aircraft.cfg I looked in to it and ...

Hi Pete, I had CARGO but I was advised on another thread to put RAMP_CARGO, but saying that CARGO didn't work either.

Col.

Hi Pete, Yes I did that and the file is in AddonScenery/Scenery folder, I changed a few of the parking spots to make them bigger to accommodate a few more cargo aircraft, not sure if it worked because they are still parking at a gate. I changed the atc_parking_types= from CARGO to RAMP_CARGO but sti...

So as not to highjack another thread and take it off topic, I can't get my head round ADE175, I have used the old AFCAD program for FS9 no problem but this one has me slightly puzzled. If I want to modify a default airfield for example add more parking or change a taxi route etc, when I compile and ...

Funny this came up, I recently downloaded a Cargo CL-44, I had the atc_parking_types=CARGO but it still parks at a PAX gate.

Col.

Well I deleted SuperTrafficViewBoard and kept this AiTrackerX to follow the AI, I've done long and short flights and it stayed with every one of them. Also I notice when I used PlanG before the yellow icon aircraft faced in all directions plus the pink route line would be erratic, now the aircraft f...

Just to add to this, you can also change the size of a parking spot as well, not just have it as what AFCAD puts it down as.

Col.

I have not had a lot of time on the sim but managed 3 longish flights over 100 miles, I think I've got in to the hang of Ai Tracker X as well, I used it to follow the last 3 flights and it stayed with the aircraft the full journey. So not sure now if it is a problem with Super Traffic View Board, I ...

Hi Steve, Yes I've tried different aircraft and some journeys are short but a lot ore over 100 miles, sometimes I can follow the whole journey then other times not, it appears to be random, but I don't like this pot luck thing. Another thing what I've done is put my traffic files in their own folder...

Something definitely not right with my setup, It is happening a lot now, I follow an AI aircraft for various distances, some almost at the destination some hardly at cruise and I lose it and sent back to the origin airport. I know there is parking at the destination, I go there and do a return trip ...

I've used flayables for AI sometimes, mainly because they might have more detail or I couldn't fine a texture for the AI, some work no problem as Reggie said above others I've had to tweak a bit, also if I do ever swap parts of the cfg I also use the air file from the one I'm swapping from.

Col.

Just tested the other water afcad, aircraft was there and from parking to takeoff all was fine, I was half hoping something wasn't right with it to explain the error earlier, but now I'm puzzled.

Col.

Hmm! This is getting me puzzled Greg, I did an ai flight earlier using AIFP and followed it with SuperTrafficViewBoard, again I kept with the aircraft till it was about to go on finals then I was kicked back to the origin airport. The thing is though it was a seaplane flying from 2 new water airfiel...

Hi Greg, I think I realised my mistake, the first one I tracked was one I programmed using the default FSX route then selected the aircraft in the AiTrackerX program, when you do that you are sort of inside the aircraft. The other way I did it go to the departure airport and select the aircraft that...
