Hey guys !

This is something I have encountered in several packages (also from previous releases) but I forgot to mention it. Anyway it seems like it slipped through beta again:

This is e.g. for the IAF Westwind 1:
In the [General] section of the aircraft.cfg file, "atc_WW24" should read "atc_model=WW24"

I suggest to check all the aircraft.cfg files as I have seen this small error in several aircraft folders for different models.

Hope this helps,

Greg

The one I downloaded does say atc_model=WW24. :?

Hmm... I've extracted the package to a temp folder again and now it does say atc_model=WW24... :smt017

I'll try to reconstruct the problem and get back to you before I think I'm crazy :lol:

Yeah please disregard... the problem has been located in a script that has nothing to do with MAIW. The aircraft.cfg files in the packages are fine.

Sorry for the trouble. Mods feel free to delete :oops:

So the airport that HAS scenery works fine... but my Ben Gurion has trees and the tarmac, buildings in bad places, and aircraft crowded around a non-existent terminal.... any thoughts? Is the AFCAD made to work specifically with the freeware Ben-Gurion Scenery? Perhaps I missed something...

As I understand, all MAIW releases are to work primarily with the default FS9 scenery unless noted otherwise.

MAIW has ceased to released add-on scenery with the packages.

I will check out my copy to see if I can confirm your findings.

But I'm sure the authors will chime in soon also.

You'll have to ask John abuot the Ben-Gourion afcad, I don't know much about it. I did the Sde Dov afcad and scenery so that's the only one I'm sure about.

BTW, we have not ceased to release add-on scenery. Quite the contrary in fact. We have changed the way we release it, but I assure you, it will still be part of packages when available.

Hi Calvin

The LLBG afcad is designed to work with the default scenery which does not have any terminal buildings. I will be releasing a version to use with the freeware LLBG scenery which I found too late to incorporate. Not sure about buildings and trees. in bad places. Do you run with autogen turned fully up?

Yeah, is that the problem? it never bothered me before.

Looks like it. I'll see if I can get an exclude for autogen items. It seems to be a problem in the Israel area for some reason.

Hi, if someone needs it, I modified the Ben Gurion AFCAD that comes with the freeware scenery, I tried to make it as close as possible to the afcad MAIW supplied.

The problem is that I don't know how to upload it to the forum, so if anyboy wants it, let me now and I'll send it.

I sent you PM so you could send me that AFCAD.

I want it too! Perhaps Joseph29 will post it here for you so all who want it (probably lots) can get it without making you send email after email.

I find myself in the same place, when installing freeware Ben Gurion Airport (LLBG) 2006 by David Rosenfeld. Is the above AFCAD available somewhere to download or may I please some of the owners to drop me this to RipPipPip =at= gmail.com?

Same goes with freeware Sde Dov as "Sde Dov Finel LLSD" by the same author exists ...
or by Nir Behar, even better :smt031

Any chance of getting the LLBG afcad throw my way as well? I managed to patch the afcad that came with the scenery, but I'm still getting the odd B703 at the regular pax terminals :roll: So pretty much anything would be an improvent :lol:
