Hello:

 

I am unable to find proper forum in FSX to discuss no static airplanes. Have tried everything including reinstallation. No airplanes taxing or parked at hanger. Please help. sacb52man

Hi sacb,

This forum is for discussion of the discontinued "Flight" program. Ask questions regarding FSX in the FSX forum on this site.

Incredible - Nels or Rick moved this forum '(edit: MS Flight) all the way down, and still they end up here ? The bottom of the barrel I suppose ...

FSX doesn't have static (i.e. never moving) planes, except with various add-ons, such as ORBX. But you mention taxiing, so that's AI (Artificial Intelligence) aircraft, which should be available when you're not in multiplayer mode. There's actually a "traffic" setting where you can control how much AI you see.

 

So if you've got no AI and you've adjusted the settings to show traffic, and if you're at one or more of the larger airports (doesn't have to be LAX), then you have to wait a few minutes, depending on where you are and what time of day (and maybe some other factor) before even the first of the traffic will show. Sometimes it might be more than 10 minutes, other times/places just a couple of minutes or so.

 

If after all this you still don't have AI traffic, then somehow you've lost the BGL files that set it up, or else you've renamed the aircraft that they use for AI (a few are just for AI, not flyable, some are flyable).

 

Or maybe someone else knows other factors, or maybe I'm misunderstanding you, in which case you need to correct my impression of your problem(s). Or, given your login name, you're only at military fields, which won't have traffic.

I agree with Larry! First you need to let us know where you are. If on a military base, there will be no AI or static military aircraft unless you have downloaded and installed them separately. I have some Naval Air Stations that included Static aircraft parked on the ramps. Some major updated airports like KATL will provide some static airliners parked at the gates.

You have been simming since 2007 (join date). So you might have just recently installed FSX Deluxe plus Acceleration. Right? Did you un-install your 'old' FSX? All traces?

 

FSX 'GOLD' has 'Deluxe' version of FSX, and then you add Acceleration to that. But you can't just install Acceleration over your 'old' FSX install. I don't believe that will work.

 

So tell us what you did to install. Also your specs (just curious).
