bertfulker Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have recently been trying to make the UK air force bases a bit more active. I have had no trouble with aircraft and flight plans at about 10 bases so far until it came to Shawbury , when I was using FS9 I never had a problem with this base, but now with FSX I just cannot get any aircraft to even show up there. I have done everything as you should with regards to parking slots etc. and used flight plans and aircraft that I know are correct but nothing will work. Now I know this does not sound very logical but this is a fact.Can anyone think of a reason as to why just the one base would behave in this way? As a matter for reference I have used both the stock base and also one that I downloaded from this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Does it have any parking spaces? - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertfulker Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Does it have any parking spaces? Yes it does, I started with a blank airfield and added the parking I needed with ADE, just as I have done with about 10 other air fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvieno Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just a few small questions. Is the traffic slider up high enough? Do you have the aircraft in your library? Or does the title= match what is in the aircraft.txt file? Are you at the airport the right time when traffic should be around? Is the traffic file in an active scenery folder? http://my.flightmemory.com/pic/tvieno.gifhttp://www.vatsimsigs.co.uk/Status/1136602.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The parking spaces also have to be connected correctly to the runway. If not, traffic will disappear before reaching the airport, and will not enter the runway for takeoff, or not even appear on the airport.

The answer to all those questions is YES...I have created plans for the given aircraft for other airports and watched them leave and return without a problem....but not at Shawbury.....do you think its haunted lol.

I have checked this and all is ok....ADE fault finder also confirms all is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvieno Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 You sound like you know what you are doing so forgive the rudimentary questions and I am willing to bet the answer is a simple fix; it is just trying to get to that answer is the problem. Do your flight plans have the correct syntax? With no extra commas, colons, etc. Is there by chance you a FS9 traffic file someplace? FS9 traffic files will supercede FSX traffic files rendering them unused. http://my.flightmemory.com/pic/tvieno.gifhttp://www.vatsimsigs.co.uk/Status/1136602.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davecook Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I would be very interested to see responses to this thread as I have been experiencing similar problems: I am using aircraft models which perform exactly as expected on other airfields, I am using a 'Touch and Go' flightplan which works on other airfields, I am trying to apply these models and flightplans to an airfield which, according to ADE, is perfectly acceptable (with suitable parking slots and no faults in the taxiways), and I have checked for FS9 flightplans. Everything seems to be in order but - the aircraft just do not show! While not a programming expert I am no nubie either and I have succesfully programmed AI activity at a number of airfields but, for some reason which escapes me, the procedures I am using just do not seem to work on some airfields. My rig specs: ASUS P8Z77-V Rev3 IZ77 4D3 LGA1155; Intel Core I7 3770K Ivy Bridge3 5gHz/8Mo; SSD 500Go Agility3; DD SATA-III, 1To, 7200T, 64Mo cache; DDRAM III PC-12800, 2 x 4 Go; NVidia 1060GTX TI SC 6Gb 1563-E3 (not over-clocked); Power supply - 850W Corsair HX850; Windows 7 Pro 64bits, FSX Gold (SP1+2, Acceleration).

FS9 traffic files will supercede FSX traffic files rendering them unused. You were absolutely correct....there was indeed an FS9 plan tucked away amonst the FSX's.....I think I know now how that happened..I expect you know anyway, but for the benefit of anyone else having a similar problem.....when I prepared the file for compiling in Flight Planner I did not realise that I had not checked the FSX box and it seems like it is always set to FS9 by default.Thank you very much for the help......and as you rightly suggested ...it was a simple fix. The morale to this is ...measure twice ...cut once. Many thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvieno Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Glad to see you got it all sorted out. :D http://my.flightmemory.com/pic/tvieno.gifhttp://www.vatsimsigs.co.uk/Status/1136602.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
