OK. I now have WOAI and MAIW files together in FS and they work!

I completely cleared scenery/world/scenery
I imported all the WOAI files from my FS9 installation
I added my, supposedly converted to FSX, MAIW files
It works

I can live with this for now

Thanks to everybody for your help

I really appreciate you guys trying to help me here.

I added traffic_MAIW_2sqn_RAF_Tornado_GR4_FS9_FSX.bgl plus same file name but 9sqn, 12sqn and 13sqn

These files were converted from the source using FP_FS9_FSX. I added them to my WOAI files in
scenery/world/scenery. These WOAI files were added ...

Removed one or two suspect files found in other folders, but no difference. Placed WOAI files only in scenery/world/scenery which worked perfectly. Then added four MAIW files which immediately stopped the WOAI files from working. I even had a go at attempting to convert all the WOAI files using FP ...

You understand correctly. Whilst the converted files have FSX suffixes, AIFP sees them as FS9, though I take your point that others would have experienced the problem if it were the case which means Im doing something daft.

Yes I did remove all FS9 files when I converted using AIFP. The files had ...

Yes all converted bgls have_FSX.bgl suffix

I spoke too soon!

When I re add my FSX WOAI traffic files to the converted MAIW files in scenery/world/scenery, I only have MAIW traffic showing. When I scan the scenery/world/scenery folder with AIFP for any FS9 files, it lists all of the converted MAIW files as FS9. I assume that if these files ...

Success!

I converted all FS9 files using FP_FS9_FSX and all is perfect. Strange that it didnt work with AIFP.

I hope that this is of use to others who are having problems seeing traffic and I would like to thank
Steve for helping. Its much appreciated

I used AI Flight Planner and this is what happens when I open one of the converted traffic bgls. At the same time a window opens asking me if I want to "add the missing airports to airportList.dat based on available information"
Shouldnt the airport codes be four letter ...

Progress!

I removed all traffic files from scenery/world/scenery then added all original unconverted FS9 traffic files, and I have traffic. Now I have to figure out why the problem arises when I convert the files?

Yes I did create the Airplanes folder, and all aircraft are in this folder. I thought that there may be a problem with this folder so just to test, I transferred all MAIW aircraft into simobjects/airplanes but still no joy.

Thanks again

Here are the contents of the [Main] section of my FSX.CFG

[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals ...

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

The civilian traffic which is all WOAI appears to work in all locations. I removed all non MAIW traffic bgls from scenery/world/scenery to see if that would make a difference, but no. I do have the NellisHumvee file in this folder but I have ...

Steve

Thanks for coming back so quickly. Problem solved! I had other folders for the same a/c. Now I have everything right except for one thing.......no traffic!

I have converted all traffic files to FSX and they are sitting in scenery/world/scenery in whch there are no rogue FS9 files. . My ...

First of all, thanks for the FS9 to FSX tutorial. I have just spent most of the day converting all the packages. All has gone well apart from when I start up FSX I get multiple notifications of repeat model names. I have gone through the cfg files for the C130's and they all have different names ...

First of all, thank you for all the work that goes into these packages, its much appreciated.

I have recently loaded the Herc Package into FSX and each time I load FSX I receive a warning that i cant have a/c with the same name. The a/c cfg file is clearly showing differently named a/c. Any ideas ...
