Sorry. I cannot seem to get the aircraft to show up. I've made sure that the flight plan is in FSX and that all the spots for A/C are correct size but nothing shows. I did have it working at one point ( but not sure what I did to mess it up ). I'm starting over right now so I will see how things go.

Firstly, Firstly FS9 Traffic Files will show any traffic files that will cause you trouble in your sim.
Secondly, Convert FS9 Traffic Files to FSX will convert those files for you.

Can you confirm that you have run the first option and then the second if it found anything.

Yes sir. All FS9 traffic is now FSX traffic.

This seems to be all that I can add to Nellis AFB. I'm using this Traffic_MAIW_65th AS_FSX right now and if I try to add anything else or even use this one Traffic_MAIW_Nellis_AFB_FSX, nothing shows up at all.

It has been a while,however, I've had similar issues in the past. If I remember correctly, in one situation I found a duplicate AFCAD file. The second situation involved using March AFB FS9 scenery in FSX. Only a few aircraft were showing up and none of the scheduled aircraft were showing up when they were supposed to. I did some experimentation and when I removed a file from the scenery folder, sorry I can't remember which file, aircraft showed up just like they were supposed to with no disruption to the scenery. Sorry I can't be more specific than that, hope this is helpful.

I am going to try the traffic files from the one MAIW has here. First one is: Traffic_MIL_USA_USAF_Nellis AFB_KLAS_433rd WPS_FSX

If you are trying different traffic files, check in AIFP that the aircraft in the flight plan are the ones in your airplanes folder.

I did. Nothing is working now. Not to traffic file with the scenery (made into FSX) or any of the separate ones from this site.

I went back to the beginning. Deleted the AB and re-installed everything.

I seem to remember that the original Nellis had a traffic file for the Humvee vehicles so make sure that gets converted as well. AIFP3 should have found it and converted it though.

The thing is here that if any FS9 file was there there then the F-15s would not be showing up. So pick another aircraft type that you are adding say F-16 and check that the spot size is big enough to take them. I seem to remember that the wingspan in bigger than spot size in the the original afcad.

It may be that this will solve some of you issues.

Nope. I have nothing showing at Nellis, even though I went and made all the spots on the AFCAD show the size they needed to be for the F-15.

I am using the Nellis AFCAD that comes with the Nellis AFB scenery and I made sure to make it FSX.

OK, but we come back to the fact that you have to make the spots tie up with that AIAE tells that the aircraft need in FSX, not what was good enough for the FS9 system..

Have you checked the F-16s yet?

No f-15's are showing up and I have the parking pads set for them with size and parking codes. I went with Johns number for the parking size (39.37) but still nothing. I have no FS9 traffic files in my sim either.

These are the traffic files I am using for Nellis AFB. They are from he flight plan folder 0f this site. All aircraft parking pads have been made available for aircraft spot size.

I'm asking anyone and everyone for help and advice. I have aircraft at other AB.

The only other thing that I can think off is that some payware addons had an file that stamped over a large area and basically nullified the afcad.
I can't remember the name of brand but they also stamped over several UK airfields. I remember distinctly that their RAF St Mawgan nullified RAF Fairford.

I think in the US that one of the airfields that affected others was their Fallon.

What it might be worth trying, even if only for elimination purposes is to disable ALL scenery addons EXCEPT Nellis to see if that alters anything.

*UPDATE*
Just remembered that the troubles were caused by some Team SDB sceneries.

Well that seems fairly simple. The aircraft are not in your system. It would explain why nothing shows up.

What exactly is the folder path that those tankers are in?
