MAIW USAF t-37 package

[pietsteens]

I had this package installed and worked perfectly. The other day I re installed the Microsimulator T-37 again from flight1.com and try to fly out from KSPS.
Oeps, all the WofAI/MAIW T-37's on the apron where gone. I un installed the orginal T-37, but nothing changed.
Downloaded the MAIW package again and when re installing it thru WofAI installer it says:package already installed do you want to repair ? Saying yes, it comes up that installer can't find the textures, while the whole aircraft with all the textures is within the aircraft folder of fs 9.

What might be the problem ?

I assume that you are using FS9, so say if this is not the case.

Firstly, the only thing that I can think of to cause your MAIW traffic to disappear by installing a flyable plane is that as part of the package a new afcad/scenery was installed. Was this the case?

Your second problem is how did you uninstall your T-37 package? When you use the WoAI installer you have to use it to uninstall as well, you can't just delete stuff.

I think that the best way to proceed is to work out your original problem, as if it is a new scenery issue then re-installing will not sort it out. Once you have fixed that then you could manually re-install the WoAI package to a new location and copy the parts across manually.

See if this helps you and let us know how you get on.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the quick.
Yes I installed the AFCAD from the T-37 package.
By un installing the T-37 I meant the Microsimulator package. The only AFCAD I use know is the MAIW KSPS default one, (I assume this is the one of the WofAI/MAIW T-37 package ?

[pietsteens]

I don't understand it. The afcad I use is the right MAIW one. (The Talons are visible) but none of the T-37's
The package is somewhere in the files, the traffic file is in the right file, yet not a single T-37 shows up.

How can the installer say : can't find the textures, while the whole WoA PSAI t-37 with all the textures is in the aircraft folder ?

(my OS is W7 and fs9 )

thanks for your help.

OK so you have uninstalled your flyable PC.
If you do not have a second afcad, this I believe as the T-38s appear. Unless your afcad has no slots for the T-37 there is a problem with your installation somewhere.

Now I can't go into the WoAI workings too much, as I never used it. I always installed those packages manually. One reason why the installer may not find the textures is that the folder has been renamed, or the textures. This on it's own will not be the problem, as the aircraft would show up w/o textures rather than not at all.

What I would suggest is using a traffic checker. For simple checks I use ACA2007 lite, and for more in depth checking I use ACA2005. I would suggest downloading these tools from this website http://aifs2.pvdveen.net/.
I would run ACA2007 first, as it is simple and checks for common issues whilst ACA2005 you can check for a lot more things and you need to configure it for best effect.

Let us know what your ACA2007 report finds.

Thanks again Steve !
I noticed with ACA 2005 that a lot of files did not have a unique title ( not only this package ) So I decided to delete them all.
Then I re downloaded this T-37 package and installed it again and yes, everything is back to normal now !!!!

(the only thing is, that I have to re install a lot of other WofAI packages again, but that will be no problem and it's a lot easier andd quicker then finding the bad files.

Thanks again !!!
