When you recompiled the file where did it go?It should be in your Scenery/World/scenery subfolder - and it's name should be Traffic_PAI.bgl

It is in the correct place =)

Try disabling your Traffic_030528.bgl file by renaming it Traffic_030528.bgl.BAKSee if only the PAI traffic then loads. And be sure your Airline Traffic slider is set fairly high.To restore the default traffic file, just restore the name.

Still doesn't load. Also tried to rename the PAI file to 030528, but I guess that was a long shot =/

I assume you did use the full name - i.e. Traffic_030528.bgl - and yes, that was a long shot.A couple of thoughts - 1. You did not need to recompile the PAI traffic file - decompiling it did not disturb the original file at all. However it appears that when you did recompile, something went wrong and the original file has been overwritten now with a corrupted one.2. What size (in KB) is the PAI file now?3. What Operating System are you using - XP or Vista?If Vista, try turning off UAC and the recompiling the PAI file again and see what happens.To turn off UAC, go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and turn off UAC (User Account Control). All this assumes that you have not removed any of aircraft which the PAI installer placed in your aircraft folder.

1. Probably, but I didn't change anything2. A little over 30 MB3. Vista4. My UAC has never been onFound out that the United Airlines Pack is working, but that's weird since i installed all 40 packs together.

Well I am out of ideas - unless your airline Traffic slider has somehow been set very low.I gave up on PAI traffic well over a year ago in favor of the World of AI installer and packages.To me they are a much more refimed way of adding traffic - separate Traffic files for each airline (instead of all being lumped togethe in one large Traffic file), models which seem to be easier on Frame rates and a very versatile installer.One can still use PAI packages to fill in any "gaps" if WOAI does not have a particular airline.But WOAI in combination with traffic files I create myself work well for me.

I understand. I was planning to use WoAI, but I also got problems with that one, as you can see here http://www.world-of-ai.com/Forum/viewtopic...f=23&t=7581Thank you very much for your help anyways =)

I am not one to give up quite so easily.One last suggestion -Delete the PAI Traffic file and delete all the PAI aircraft which have been installed.Disable the default Traffic file as I suggested earlier.Run the installer again (check with PAI to be sure you have the latest version) and install only one or two packages at a time - not the 40 which I believe you said you had done all at once.Start up the sim and be sure your Airlines slider is set rather high - Settings/Traffic.Check to see if the aircraft for whatever package(s) you installed are now "flying". Obviously you would need to be at an airport which is served by the airlines in question.If they are, then exit FS2004 and install a couple more packages. Check each time to see if the aircraft display.One easy way to check on AI activity is to install the free TrafficToolbox utility from Microsoft.http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2...x_sdk_setup.exeInstall it anywhere and then place a copy of the TrafficToolbox.dll in your Modules folder. You will now have a new tab on the menu bar at the top of your screen (in windowed mode) named Tools. The Explorer option will display all AI traffic which is active in your area and the state of each one - sleep, taxi-in, taxi-out, enroute, takeoff, landing etc.All of this will involve some time and effort but if you insist on using PAI packages it is likely worth it.Not sure why you should have any problems with WOAI as so many of us use them with no issues.Good Luck!

It worked !!!A million thanks for your help and patience :D
