Is New Orleans KMSY an empty airport?

Featured Replies

I have the LatinVFR scenery and AIG traffic. All gates are empty. I certainly have American, Delta, United and all their feeders, but none shows up. The only plane its me.OAEEDX4.jpg

Far away two lonesome cargo planes

What´s wrong with New Orleans? I have traffic elsewhere. I departed KMEM with lots of FEDEX planes.

I have the scenery installed in P3D v5 and have no issues with AIG traffic. (I don't recall having to do anything special with the AFCAD.)

Of course, the old terminals (on the lower right in your photo) are empty now with the AI traffic using only spots at the new terminal. American, Delta and United are all represented with my AIG as well as Spirit and Southwest which are major players at MSY.

Thanks for your feedback. Then something must be wrong on my side but I have no idea. I don't think it's an old FS9 traffic file surviving the last years. My traffic works great everywhere else with AIGTC and .bgl traffic. I think I will ask at AIG what could be the cause.

Try another time of day. I've seen KMSY relatively empty several times.

Just a suggestion...do you use makerunways.exe? It's a free utility by Pete Dowson that manages the runway database within the sim. I use it for ProATC-X and refresh the database with every new scenery install.

Might be worth a try.

The mayor did just order a vaccine mandate today so that may be affecting traffic 🤣

Oh no Covid made it into the sim 😱

I was able to get some traffic. Putting the sim traffic slider to 100% what has been stupid all the years is now obviously healthy. Reinstalling LatinVFR scenery did the rest. Something most have gone wrong completely before, since the planes were standing at the default parking spots which are at the old terminal which doesn´t exist in the LatinVFR scenery.

I replied also at the AIG forum, but where is that retro UAL B732 coming from (its own retro bgl or something that you added to the AIG plans)? You have checked the ADE to ensure that the parking sizes are adequate?

That´s the user plane. Milviz Boeing 737-200 for P3D4, used in P3D5. Only the radar is CTDing the sim, so this had to be removed. 

I checked the ADE, but since I don´t know what planes the airlines use, what sizes shall I check? How do you check this?

Here´s a pic with the defined parkings. The airlines are correct as I can see. I increased the smallest parkings from 59 to 63, don´t want them to overlap if I made it larger.

Could also try to remove airlines but that has also backdraws

Here the actual image from another perspective with terrible weather this evening.

 A 59 foot radius should be fine for any single aisle airliner aside for the 757 which aren't as common as they used to be. What about the possibility of having a traffic limiter? FSUIPC has one built in. If you have it, check to make sure that its not on. Are you running any other tools, like AI Companion?

That´s the one I have but it should be off. Just had another check this morning. Looks like all new terminal stands are in use.

I think the problem is solved. Thanks for your help!
