I just begun using FSX and I note that I have no A1 aircraft, either parked or traffic. I have all the traffic sliders set to maximu.Any sugestions on how I may get A1 traffic to operate?Stanner

Look in your computer's Microsoft Flight Simulator X>Scenery>World>Scenery folder and see if traffic files are included as shown in the attached image. Are there any other files starting with traffic?(do a search).

Do you have this problem on all airports or only on a specific airport?

Stanner, aside from what Art mentioned, are you using any addon AI or just the default? If you have other traffic bgl's beside the default traffic bgl, and they haven't been converted to the FSX traffic format, that could cause you some problems. Some addon sceneries also add traffic to their sceneries and you could have a stray traffic bgl in your install that you weren't aware of.BTW, just so you know, it's AI, as in Artificial Intelligence, not A1, which is a steak sauce. :(

Gentlemen:I have only FSX default aircraft. I do have the 3 traffic bgl files mentioned in my MSFX>scenery>world>scenery. I did a search and found only FS9 Traffic files.Stanner

OK - stick in the FSX DVD(s) and carry out an FSX Repair. This should recreate your missing traffic files.

If you have Airplane shadows on turn them off. AI won't show with it on. (Bug in SP2)

Why? He said that he has the FSX default traffic files. I'm assuming the FS9 is also on the computer and the FS9 traffic files found with the search are not in FSX.Stanner, do you have vehicle traffic on the roads?

I'm confused. You said you have the 3 traffic bgl's mentioned. Then you say you also found FS9 traffic files.If you have FS9 traffic files mixed in you need to run those file thru a converter like AIFPC and convert them into FSX format traffic files. I am assuming when you said you searched and found FS9 traffic files they were in an addon scenery where traffic was included?In the end though you wont be able to mix FS9 traffic bgls with the FSX trafffic bgl until you convert the FS9 traffic bgl to an FSX format. If you installed any WOAI traffic all thouse traffic bgls it installs are going to need to be converted.

Yes.... but "default aircraft" is not the same as "default AI", and he didn't say that, Art.

:( I reckon there's a really big communication issue here.

An interesting statement, but this is not true with FSX on my computer.
