I must say bravo to you and the rest of ACG. What a fantastic piece of work. Ive only looked at the FS9 version at the moment, but wow is all I can say. Absolutely fantastic. Its like being there. You have set a new bar in Scenery design and it will be a long time until anything tops that.

John,
I have missed that one and you did not pm me. Is this still an open question? Can you include the Tornado model?
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
John and I had some discussions about whether the model could be included or not and we concluded that it was on shaky ground.
ACG wanted to set up an FSX compilation of the for two reasons, one, being a bit more user friendly, two, to try and eliminate the 'no traffic appears at the airfield' syndrome. Which they had when they released the Twin bases package.
Trouble is the main cause of the traffic not appearing is more likely to be an FS9 traffic file in the FSX traffic system, and the re-packaging would not cure that. In the end John decided that there was a lot of pain for very little gain, so he went with trying to make it as clear as he could in the manual about the problem.
So far it seems to have been effective, however this is because members of the ACG forum have shown that they can read.

Martin, thanks for your enquiry. I couldn't find the original FMAI GR4 but I found the F3 by the same author and that certainly had a licence condition that did not permit inclusion in other packages. I conclude after discussing it with Steve, that it's not unreasonable to ask users to spend a few minutes downloading the package and your canopy fix. My Marham manual contains a checklist for users with "no show AI" in FSX to work through and so far no one has raised it as an issue. As Steve says, so far they appear to be reading the manual. That has to be good news.
Guys I think I,am going mad .I have go the airfield up and running but the AI traffic is floting to high and as well as the taxiways.
But the signs and has's show up below the taxiways.
The AP948130 sayes that Marham is 22.86 meters ASL
The AFX_EGYM_FS9 sayes Airport reference point is set at 22.9m ASL
I hate to sidetrack a bit, but as the post is talking about airport elevation problems, I noted recently that FSGlobal 2010 includes a tool to correct this problem. Has anyone had occasion to try it out, and if so, was it effective? (FSGlobal 2010 is elevation mesh for both fs9 and fsx)
