Hi Cowboy,
It is quite normal for packages to be started quite a time ago and you have to set a baseline at some time.
Sometimes we get info on an update and can incorporate it and sometimes we can't/don't. The Jordanian Air Defence package is another case in point.
We shall keep that info you have provided for a rainy day, and we thank you.
Disappearing 135's

After the 135's land and turn onto the taxi-way to wait for ground, they disappear. I have checked for multiple Afcads but it looks good. Any ideas?

As bismarck says, runway 35.

The problem I have found with RWY35 Taxi F is.....
NEAREST NODE TO A HOLD SHORT NODE NOT CONNECTED TO IT
This hold short node is not connected to the node that is nearest to it. This can cause aircraft to follow links attached to the nearest node, instead of the hold short node itself.
Also the same fault is with taxi D,E,G

Hmmm, it seems like a fairly major problem fell through the beta testing here.
I will try to have a look at it once I have finished a PB, unless somebody else gets there first.

Just a quick qyestion, in the read me it says the 912th ARS has stood down. Does that mean they are not flying at all? Or just not flying at Grand Forks (maybe moved to another base)?

USAF website says they were "deactivated" all together.

i was stationed at grand forks, when i deployed to iraq the 911 was deactivated, and right before my time in service was up a year ago the 912 was down to two a/c and the reapers were startin to arrive by 130 and the 2 global hawks were landing there, all of which were nsa, and yes they were gonna deactivate the 912 fiscal year 09 which was oct 08 the base is now down to 25 135s

That one took a while to figure out. Of all things, seems like the little access road that was running down the middle of the runway/taxiway complex was to blame for the AI disappearing. I have now fixed the afcad and everything looks good.
Learn something new every day.
Here is the fixed afcad for those who have already installed the package. The KRDR afcad is located in the MAIW Grand Forks AFB/Scenery folder.

Looks great guys, this is home for me

Scenery looks great.
Can anyone confirm they no longer have the white on the tailband? some recent photos show they still say Grand Forks and have the Sunflake but no white....just curious.
