For me my top 5 are: YSSY (Sydney)- Still not confirmed if flytampa are doing a version for this platform LTBA (Istanbul)- hopefully the possible success of KMCO by Taxi2gate prompts them to release this version in FS9 NZAA (Auckland) - I no never going to happen on this platform but a true missing link in Australasia YPPH (Perth) - I know we have a version in VOZ but after the upgrades that are currently going on there would be good to see this given the appropriate treatment especially with the international airline growth!! OMAA (Abu Dhabi) - We have the home of Emirates why not the home of Etihad!! LOL. This would just complement Dubai immensely, especially if it was done with the quality of Fly Tampa's version (Just imagine that approach as you fly over Yas Marina and Ferrari world!!) WADD (WRRR Bali) Not so much the scenery as there is a really good version of this available by BDO but more that I so badly want AES on it LOL (Ive asked, ticked it when people have requested it but Oliver just hasn't given it a response!!) I guess being from Australia you get an idea on my selection but with the majority of Aussies and Kiwis switching to FSX since the start of Orbx I know that it'll probably go untouched in the future (plus its an old platform with maybe little money return?) Sometimes I wish I was a little more skilled at model designing......

Not a problem mate.. Let me know if there are any others as Ive purchased a few airports over the years and have redone a few of those AFCADs to try and keep them as up to date as possible (even freeware if I have it)... For recent additions I updated TJSJ recently which is worth a look, http://forum.avsim.net/topic/442829-latinvfr-releases-san-juan-for-fs9/

No not in FS9, in order to achieve this you either need an aircraft model that comes with a tug feature (i think posky has it?) or use AES for the complete experience But this only works with certain freeware and payware airports (http://www.aerosoft2.de/downloads/aes/aesairports.html)

go to your aircraft.cfg file open it up and look at your airline entries marked under [fltsim.x], example below. [fltsim.0] title=PSS Boeing 777-200LR Alitalia sim=PSSB777LR-GE model= panel= sound= texture=az atc_id=IDISA atc_airline=Alitalia atc_flight_number=1123 atc_heavy=1 ui_manufacturer=Boeing-PSS ui_type="777-200LR VC Model" ui_variation=Alitalia atc_airline=Alitalia atc_id_color=0x00000000 atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0 visual_damage=1 atc_parking_types=RAMP,GATE atc_parking_codes=AZA Within that entry look for what I have highlighted in RED and that will tell you where to find your 777 when in flightsim under selected aircraft

Why don't you upgrade to Dubai Rebooted its amazing scenery, http://flytampa.org/omdb.html

Hi Guys, Once again I was left a little disappointed that many spots on the AFCAD for certain airlines/ Aircraft where missing so once again I have updated the current ADE File, link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1n21mauvdk22gih/TJSJ_ADE9_RF.BGL Current latinvfr ADE file with no parking for the small turbo prop acft such as Cape Air and Vieques Airlink My update Also added more small turbo prop cargo spots, like Ameriflight and others Also updated is more parking to the US Air-force ramp.. To see the changes first check out your current Airport layout (going through all spots) then add mine (backing up current file TJSJ_ADE9_RGM) and recheck.. For additional Ai to bring your airport to life there is a puerto_rico_package and IFL group flightplans available here on avsim...

Hey guys As per my screenshots above for those that have the Fsdreamteam JFK & KFLL plus Latinvfr KMIA V2.x see links below KFLL - https://www.dropbox.com/s/okn7h6w1sxcd3q2/AP_KFLL.BGL KJFK - https://www.dropbox.com/s/jov7jx8txgf00xc/AF2_KJFK.bgl KMIA - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ls0bqgc3ydc2yh9/KMIA_ADE9_RF.Bgl Remember to back up previous AF2 files (for KMIA File is KMIA_ADE9_RGM.bgl) Flukey

KMCO is amazing but the AF2 File is a bit off whereby the Heavies wont show up.. I updated the AFCAD and posted the link in this thread should you wish to use it, http://forum.avsim.net/topic/438329-kmco-orlando-for-fs9-released-by-taxi2gate/page-2#entry2985511

Who wouldn't but unfortunately they don't see it to be Viable like their sister company FSDreamteam to continue development of FS9 as with the new techniques available with FSX/P3D it makes it way to difficult/ "expensive" to port back for little result as new models will need to be constructed... I must say though I was over the moon to see LatinVFR do TJSJ for FS9 after they stated that they wouldn't due to the development reasons above....Yes it is visually different in the surrounds to their FSX/P3D release but man its still amazing and grateful for the support!!

WOW, After latinvfr stated that they weren't going to do this Airport in FS9 on their forums, it is a fantastic surprise to see that the support for the old girl is still there!!! I'm on my way now to pick up my copy!!

Careful using AFX if the files are made by ADE as AFX can delete things done by the ADE program due to the features available with Airport Design Editor... Its free and probably worth getting to replace AFX as many developers today use the ADE program when doing AFCADs

Okay so in the Interim until I decide what I am going to do try this for KMCO.. Back up current AF2 file from your T2G Orlando scenery folder before adding this file just in case you do not like it. On top of my earlier post this will also include the Mountain air cargo C208s parking at the FedEx ramp. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdky6ol893xd129/KMCO_AF.BGL File is made by ADE and came up with zero errors when I scanned.... Regards Flukey

I was actually thinking of doing a massive Payware & freeware upload of all my updated AFCADs for various developers... I'm a little picky when it comes to getting the AI parking spots as close to the real airport (using the Airports website or Wikipedia). Not to hijack but here are a few I have done over time.. Fsdreamteam KFLL - Added Silver s340 parking spots to the united terminal (does knock out two jet bridges but makes the airports more realistic) and updated the FedEx parking for Mountain Air cargo's C208s Fsdreamteam KJFK - Hawaiian & Aer lingus relocation to Jet Blue term, while USair and many one-world partners have moved to the American Terminal Latinvfr KMIA v2 - Includes airline parking for Skyking 737s (on the left of pic 1) and other Caribbean/South American Airlines Does anyone have a request? LOL (I have a ton of purchased airports, hence my reluctance to go to FSX, as Ive spent too much money )

Hey Guys Just an FYI I will be uploading my AFCAD for KMCO to avsim shortly so you can all enjoy this wonderful scenery with the use of your AI. Now it is nothing major only Gate updates to allow Heavies to Park and some minor airline reassignments to the best of my info. Shots below prove AI will park "close" the right spots A1 - American, Jet Blue and International incl. Aer Lingus A2 - Airtran, Southwest and Virgin America B3 - United, Silver, USAir, Spirit, Bahamasair B4 - Delta, Frontier, Sun Country, Air Canada, Air Canada Rogue and Euro Internationals included Thomas Cook (and Norwegian Air Shuttle which will begin at the end of May but unsure on which terminal it'll use) Just got to do a few minor updates but will hopefully be up by the weekend if not earlier. Regards Flukey

You are mentioning "Manual Extraction" as your topic, so I guess you are referring to the "manual Extraction" option in the installer? If that's the case, don't tick it and ensure the fs2004 path is to its correct folder that you have FS9 installed in and all should install perfectly.....

Now that this has been out for a few weeks now, does anyone know if Taxi2gate have been happy with sales on this airport that they will look at continuing FS9 production?

Looking forward to AES becoming available for this airport... Just feels like Im missing something when flying in and out of it atm LOL Would be good to actually know the numbers and if they are good enough for LTBA to be transferred, plus it will show some other developers who may be on the cusp of moving away from FS9 themselves that there is still life in her yet...

Air Tran and southwest operate out of the same terminal satellite, but I have included the TRS code so Air tran AI can still be used while operating.. I did however add the SWA code to those spots as an addition as the merge into one continues... As for my AF2 file its nothing special, its just the Taxi2gate one with slight modifications to aircraft radius/spots only so nothing to do with runway operations

Same, so ive already gone through and updated all radius sizes and updated a few airline terminal moves such as Air Canada from A1 to B4, plus add a couple of airline codes missing from the af2 file (soon to be Thomas cook transfers to MCO from SFB and a couple of seasonal carriers).. Now she's looking the part , just need to add a few more FedEx spots that where missing and fix up that side of the field!!

+1 here but still a 5 star airport and well worth the purchase..... Florida is now stacked and was kind of the missing airport in the area when you have latinvfr KMIA & KEYW, Fsdreamteam KFLL and Flytampa KTPA...... I have purchased my copy and recommend all FS9 users to do the same as sales on this will determine whether we see their LTBA converted for FS9!!

I'm another simmer that would thoroughly recommend the Ifly for FS9 over the PMDG version The VC is one of the best around!! BTW to those that have this acft has anyone come across repaints for Fiji Airways B738 and B737? (I have Air pacific repaint but would love the upgrade to the new livery)

Thx for the tips Steve

This is what worries me, as I am currently looking at upgrading my PC shortly to run FSX... I am also addicted to addons lol.... for FS9 I have HD clouds, water effects, UT, Mesh, VOZ and many airport and aircraft additions including 100% AI and love my long haul flights with not a single issue. With switching to FSX, what would be the base to make it look amazing without causing too much issue with the dreaded OOM on long flights? If getting FTX Global and vector should I avoid getting UT or any megascenery addons or go the other way around? Would a 500GB SSD dedicated to fsx help in reducing issues in long haul flights?
