Speaking of the non-display of AI planes in the apt, especially the "Heavy" ones like A380-747-777, I'm thinking about what happened to me after I generated my AI traffic using a 747 that I didn't see in any area of the departure apt while on the arrival one I regularly saw it arrive but after landing, before preparing to leave the runway, the plane disappeared.

After a series of searches I found that it was all due to the fact that there were no pitches in the AFCAD of the departure / arrival apt large enough to accommodate the aircraft.

When I created the pitches in the departure / arrival apt with ADE, choosing the largest one in Default Parking Type: RAMP CARGO and positioned it on the airport apron using ADD TAXI LINK to connect them to the TAXI POINT of the route that goes / arrives to the runway , the 747 was regularly displayed on the stand created at the departure apt and, after landing at the destination apt, it duly arrived on the stand created in the destination apt.

All this makes me think that, especially in large apt and busy times, if the medium / large pitches are insufficient, the AIs are not displayed.

A test could be to increase the number of medium / large pitches with ADE on the apt AFCAD and possibly, if the available spaces are few, delete the small ones and replace them with medium / large ones obviously remembering that all the pitches must be connected to the path that goes / arrives to the runways.

I need a bit of help. I have been successfully using AIG AI planes for quite a while, my airports have been well populated.

Now, with the required update to the software, I find I have perhaps 1 or two planes where previously there were dozens. 

For instance at Heathrow, there was only 1 Air New Zealand and one Qantas at mid-day today.

The Menus are not as "obvious" as previously and I can't find where to see what planes I might have or how to activate them.

Can someone please help?

Air new zealand stopped flying to Heathrow in 2013. There shouldnt be any at all. 

Is the qantas a 747 or 380.  If so neither should be there either.

That was the via Hong Kong flight I believe. Although they stopped their via LA flight in 2020, so you’re correct that they don’t go there anymore. 

I have verified that AIG in the Quantas flight plans has inserted numerous flight plans with EGLL destination:

from WSSS to EGLL done with an A380 and from YPPH to EGLL done with a 787-9.

I will have to check my database, as 2013 is a bit too far back, even for me......

Both of which no longer exist. 

Its Darwin on the 787 (Perth is still closed) and the 380 WSSS hasn't restarted yet and might possibly not as the yeild predictions are low, reason being it has to reroute over Saudi putting on an extra hour to the flight time, people will more than likely book the Darwin Sydney instead, what's the point of going via SIN TO SYD if its going to be the same as DRW SYD

On a separate note the  lhr drw keeps landing heavy in DRW due the landing weight due to the alternate fuel and it keeps burning the Runway due to THE HIGH  temp in DRW. 

The DRW LHR is also damaging the Runway in DRW due to the MTOW as its an extra hour flight Time to avoid Russia, they are leaving bags at the moment. 

I know a few people at QF UK.

I had to Google it as I couldn't remember when they shut down the ANZ UK Cabin crew base. 

I see your mates at flybe at going to sell a LHR AMS against BA and Klm. Good luck with that.

Again,the devil is in the detail.

Correct, Yes they closed the LHR local cabin crew base down yes.  Same as Cathy Pacific did recently with their 747 locally based pilots. 

I cant remember (for once) if United and Jal still have their local LHR UK cabin crew bases anymore.  I don't think so, but could be wrong.

I live in Rome (Italy) and there are many press releases relating to the first direct flight Italy - Australia operated by Quantas between Rome Fiumicino LIRF and Perth YPPH
which should start next June 23, 2022.

This is one of the press releases illustrating this new direct connection between Europe and Australia:

" From next June it will be possible to fly directly from Rome to Australia.

Qantas, the main Australian company, will launch an unprecedented direct connection with Italy on June 23, 2022, with three weekly frequencies between Rome Fiumicino and Perth and continuation to Sydney, for meet the growing demand during the summer period.

The flight will last 15 hours and 45 minutes. A sign of the resumption of traffic. Another novelty is the strong increase in connections with North America next summer, US carriers will make between 15 and 20 flights a day, with volumes equal to or higher than pre-Covid levels.

Rome is the only connection in continental Europe, the choice to serve Rome as the first and only point in continental Europe is the result of a long collaboration between Qantas, Aeroporti di Roma and the main national institutions of the two countries. "For the first time in the history of civil aviation, it will be possible to fly directly between Australia and continental Europe, with a non-stop connection between Rome and Perth, the westernmost point of the Australian continent. Passengers from Rome will also be able to choose whether continue on the same aircraft to Sydney or start their stay in Australia by visiting Perth, says a joint statement from Qantas and AdR.

The connection will be made by a Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner, configured by Qantas in three classes with 42 seats in Business Class, 28 in Premium economy and 166 in Economy class for a total of 236 seats. "

Correct. They are recruiting cabin crew like mad in London, for the new FCO Rotations and Singapore rotations

It will be crewed with LHR local base crew on their 56 day block rotations. 

The flight deck will be aussie based.

Thank you  Fluffyflops for the confirmation.

I will now insert this flight into Quantas' AIG Flightplans in anticipation of seeing this 787-900 pass where I live,  when it lands on 25 of LIRF.

 Not a problem. A very good friend of mine is at 'Qantas UK'  AS Cabin Crew at LHR. 

Anything else let me know.
