AI traffic not taking off

Featured Replies

Greetings all, when i am taxing to the active, usally behind behind traffic 9/10 the plane infront sticks on the taxiway and im left there for ages waiting to get on the runway, before i would go right through it but now i use fspassengers i cant. Im using justflight traffic 2005 and this happens at uk2000 Gatwick. Any ideas guys?Cheers,Chris

Hello again Chris,This sounds like a hold short node which is too far from the runway. In the case of UK2000 EGKK I think it is safe to open the AF2 file with AFCAD and run the fault finder.Regards,Ren

My pleasure. Believe me, it's quite simple.Before you start, make a backup of your EGKK AF2 file (AF2_EGKK_UK2.bgl) and store it in a safe place.1. Get AFCAD2, it is probably here in the library, or (if your search bounces because of the library hack) in the library of Flightsim.com.2. For easy access make a shortcut to the exe file on your desktop.3. Open AFCAD and click the top left symbol (open). A new screen pops up and AFCAD automatically starts collecting all your installed airports.4. In the open space next to the 'search' button type EGKK and press the button.5. In the lower part of the screen you will most likely see two search results: one is the stock EGKK, the other is the UK2000 one, indicated as MOD. Select this file and press the OK button.6. You will now see the airport in AFCAD style. You can navigate with the arrow buttons of your keyboard and zoom in or out with the mouse wheel.7. Select 'Tools' at the top of the screen and then Fault finder. Uncheck the items you don't need. I suggest you leave only Hold short limits and Default start locations checked.8. The Fault finder will show you where the problems are (hold short nodes are shown in red). If there is indeed a wrongly placed node, you can move the node with the mouse pointer.9. Save the file. That's it.I hope this short guide is clear enough to help you solving your problem. AFCAD comes with an excellent manual though, so you should be OK anyhow.One word of warning: Do not open recently published airports like UK2000 EGCC or Aerosoft EHAM with AFCAD2; bad things will happen. I'm confident however that in the case of EGKK you're OK.Good luck and have a nice weekend.Ren

Thankyou so much Rene, things like this i never had a clue about and now you have showed me something new to solve those fs mysteries. Thanks again for your time, enjoy your weekend,Chris

Not sure of the exact filenames involved here, but if you do add a second AFCAD for EGKK you might want to remove or disable(rename the .bgl) the problem AFCAD first to prevent duplicates. :(

@ Chris and Onur: Thanks for your kind words guys!@ Mike: You are absolutely right, therefore the installation guidelines which come with the file Onur suggested, explicitly mention the removal of the original AF2 file before installing this one. Regards,Ren
