I know this has been covered before but I can't seem to find any recent posts on this subject. Recently I've noticed that some AI aircraft disappear after receiving clearance to taxi. Is this related to the node connectors/taxi designators?If you know the answer, please help.Thanks!:)Matt Zagoren

Most likely. When the AI starts it's taxi and the path out of the parking spot is not viable due to broken links, the aircraft will just disappear. Go into AFCAD and check the taxiways and nodes to make sure they are actually connected. Many will appear to be connected but however are separate nodes that just overlap due to carelessness during AFCAD construction.

Kevin,Thanks for the info. I'll have to open AFCAD and look at the offending airports. :)Matt Zagoren
