AI aircraft lands and taxi's to parking. After the scheduled ground time, the aircraft taxi's to the hold short point, but fails to contract the tower for take off clearance. AI sits there and waits until it disappears. I have run the fault finder (none) have made sure that the hold short point is close enough to runway centerline, made sure there is a tower freq associated with the AFCAD, made sure no broken links etc. Where do I go from here?

hmmm which airport is this for?

It's KRCA. Some how I must have screwed things up as I have an AFCAD labled stock that has mil parking, alto not realistic in any way, and I have a mod AFCAD with the same plus one spot with larger radius and coded for AF1, so suspect that it was intended for a small AF1 package. At the moment, I am unable to identify the source, but seem to remember that I modified this one to include the other parking beyond AF1 to support the GATTAF package (a real quickie job to be sure on this AFCAD). Some how after modding the AFCAD, I apparently caused the additions that I did on the mod file to also appear on the stock AFCAD (how I did this I have no idea) so, I do not have a ref stock AFCAD that would be as all the other mil fields in FS - ie no parking etc. I think I remember that this didn't work for GAFTTAF but was in a hurry to move on, and now it reappears as an issue, and I would like to clear it up, but again, don't want to spend a lot of time right now, as I have other more pressing things to do. If there is a quick fix, great, else the issue will continue!

It could be because the runway entry point is into the under and over shoot on the stock airport
I had this problem !

Are you using the MAIW AFCAD?

Gary

No - Don't know where the MAIW AFCAD comes from. Where?

In the meantime, will mod to use your correction suggestion as see what happens!

Ron

Having the taxiways terminate at the main runway instead of the overshoot area was the fix. It now works ok! Thanks Gary. Now, another thread becomes a printout to post at the back of my copy of the AFCAD manual.

Glad it worked, it took me a while to figure out why they would not take off!
