Take a look at my Dropbox for a ORBX PAKT AFCAD:

Thanks so much. I'll try it out.

Cheers, Ed

 I've got ORBX PAKT working fairly well. It's not perfect, but they do taxi to and from the parking. The big issue here is the slope is massive, it's a 60+ foot difference between the parking and the runway less than 800 feet away. The issues I'm seeing now are the AI landing a bit short prior to the TDZ and taxiing from the runway down to the parking they do go into the terrain, but not on the way to the runway

Nice weather. Lucky you!.

Cheers, Ed

Hi guys,  I couldn't get an answer on the main thread so I'll try here. 

Question regarding install.  Is it just a matter of copying the AI folder into Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons and activating the addon, or is there something else required?

Deactivate the static aircraft, go to ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_PAKT\Scenery and rename PAKT_ADEP2_TRB_NoPark.BGL to PAKT_ADEP2_TRB_NoPark.ORIG, and copy my bgl to the same folder

Hi Christoph:

Could you please check if there's any other file(s) I should deactivate/disable in the PAKT Orbx folder indicated above?. I still see ORBX static objects (like the Alaska Airlines B737 and several other GAs. Additionally, they are suspended more than 100ft above the ground).

All the rest is looking good, including my AI aircraft properly parked at the new spots.

Thanks, Ed

That should be all. If you use the Lorby-SI Addon Organizer you can activate it from outside the sim, otherwise you can activate it during the next P3D start-up.

This is due to the reference altitude which remains the same. Needs to be adjusted

Hi Christoph:

Problem solved. Forgot to realize that you can disable the static objects using ORBX Central, in the PAKT configuration tab.

Now everything is working perfectly!. An Alaska B737-800 from KSEA landed on runway 11 and rolled-out downhill to its parking position without issues.

Thanks so much.

Cheers, Ed

Awesome!

BTW, for those who want to know, Latin VFR's KFLL has been released!

Could somebody post a step by step tutorial for this? What great work!!!

Thanks so much,

Did you buy it?. How good it is regarding FPS?.

I have the old KFLL from FSDT, so need to find good reasons to buy this version.

Cheers, Ed

i bought and like it.  I find it to be pretty good on FPS.  But more testing to be done.  Seems less hungry than Miami.  If you want a better looking and more up to date FLL then you should get it.  I'm very happy I did.

Hi Ed,

Performance is excellent. I highly recommend it!

[AnkH]

Could it be that this "tool" affects AI globally resulting in totally unwanted behaviour of road traffic and waterplane AI? What happens to road traffic that basically "sinks" into the ground due to a tunnel entry? Will this traffic then simply continue above ground, resulting in road traffic crossing airports on certain sceneries where road traffic was moved below ground without using this DLL? How well did you check those "side effects" of the AI.dll?

[Johnny19]

I also bought KFLL yesterday, really nice, performance is good. What I had is a CTD in flight after a long time, and a p3d crash upon exiting. Could the new dll be the culprit? Just asking.
