EHM AI Traffic

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with the downloadable EHM AI traffic. I've followed the FS2004 installation instructions in the readme but they're still not there. Here's what I did;

1) I extracted all the .PAI files into the dekstop. This created folders which I then placed into my FS9/Aircraft folder with all the other EHM planes.

2) I copied and pasted the flight plan .BGL file into the Scenery/World/Scenery folder...

but there still aren't any traffic! Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Ben, Where are you looking for the traffic. Are you placed at a big airport like EGLL?

edit: Another thing, don't know if this makes any difference, but what's your air traffic density. You can find it under settings -> air traffic. I think it should be above 50% for the traffic to work.

The first place I thought I'd look was EHAM, since it's a hub, but there aren't any planes!

My air traffic density is at 100%...

Hi Ben,

it is a returning question. Tha main point is you need not only large airports to see AI traffic, but airport with lots of available gates. The gate positions, and airport layout is stored in AFCAD files. These are phisically BGL files stored in the Addon Scenery folder, and you can alter them with a program called AFCAD (AFCAD2 for FS2004) You can download airport layouts (AFCAD files) from AVSIM freely.

If you have lot of AI planes, you need lot of free gates. I installed an AFCAD file with 100+ gates at EGLL, and when I enter to the airport it is almost full with currently maximum ProjectAI planes installed. Then the game decides somehow, that which of the awaiting AI planes can appear on the available gates. That is why you cannot see some.

I installed AFCAD files at every EHM hub, except LSZH (because I could not find any for them). Still there aren't any traffic. I'll try and re install the AI traffic. Fingers crossed...

edit: Well, that seemed to work. Thanks for the help guys!
