I have recently bought, the entire England and Wales Justflight Photographic Scenery range. Some are for FS2002/FS2004 and you choose which version, you want to install into, for me FS2004. However, when I run FS2004 and follow AI Aircraft in England, the scenery doesn't display correctly at the height detail becomes visible i.e. 1500 Feet the colours are not correct, and the detail is disappointing. I have tried everything on Maximum, i.e Frames Per Second, and all the other Scenery and Graphics Card Hardware settings on Maximum. I have a Quad Core PC and an Intel HD graphics card, which should be more than capable of displaying the, scenery to the best resolution and quality it can be. I mean this Justflight Payware series, is more than 13 years old ! What settings should I have, and where am I going wrong ? The AI Aircraft I have installed in FS2004, can be displayed very well. Any help would be much appreciated. Eddie

Hi there, I have noticed, that in Ultimate Traffic 1 which I have. A number of Airlines checked, in the compile have Flightplans, but have no Specific Airline or texture repaint assigned to them. As I had been wondering why, so many Airlines I had selected for compiling hadn't appeared, in Flight Sim 2004. I went on web.archive.org, and found one or two repaints I wanted. one for Air Wales for the ATR-42. On the Original Ultimate Traffic Flight 1 archived website. I also found some repaints, using web.archive.org from the old Project AI website. i.e. Volare Airlines. The Ultimate Traffic 1 AI Aircraft, are from Project AI I have found out. But unfortunately alot I wanted, were not there. Is there anywere on the internet, where you can get all or at least the majority of them ? I know I could assign some WOAI AI Aircraft for a particular AI Airline, in Ultimate Traffic 1. Using the Aircraft Assignments section. But even the WOAI Website, doesn't have alot of AI Airline packages, for many of the AI Airlines in the Compile Menu of Ultimate traffic 1. And the older liveries of the Aircraft. Any help and information someone could give me, would be much appreciated Regards Eddie Winch

Hi A32xx, Thankyou so much for your information, I did what you suggested to do, with the NL2000V3se AFCAD File. I.e. move it into, the FS2004\Scenery\World Scenery folder, and the problem I was having seems to have been fixed. Many thanks Regards Eddie

Hi there, I have a problem, with the Freeware Program Jabbgl. I am trying to change the elevation, of runways and other parts of the Stock FS2004 EHAM (Schipol) Airport in the file AP949130.bgl to the Elevation values, of the NL2000V3se EHAM Airport. However when I run this Program, and I try to change the elevation in that File for EHAM Airport, what I input gets change to 0 everytime ? I have tried other numbers, and the same happens. I am running the Program as an Administrator. I am doing this so my AI Aircraft no longer float at, Payware Aerosoft Mega Airport Schipol for FS2004. They are above the tarmac in the air a few inches , when taxying, landing, static etc. I worked out this is due to me installing the NL2000V3se Freeware Scenery package. I have backed up and moved all the NL2000V3se EHAM Airport Files. So the AI Aircraft hovering, both parked and taxying and landing AI Aircraft, appears to be the only issue now. There doesn't appear to be any other clashes with the Scenery so far. Could someone help me sort this problem out ? Any help would be much appreciated Regards Eddie

I have a problem with the AI Separation Program, using the settings of 6,8,5,20,8,35 I also have the same problem, when I use AI Smooth and AI Separation together, using Dave Sheffield's recommended settings. AI Traffic Conflicts that are moved, simply disappear completely, and don't start the approach again, to the given airport, in this case Amsterdam Schipol. Like is supposed to happen in AI Separation. Can anybody help me find a solution ? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Eddie

I really recommend, people downloading and installing, the NL2000 Team's NL2000V3se "se" meaning "Special Edition" if you havn't allready. It took me ages to download, it took many hours and leaving the download running, one time all night, and another time for over 12 hours. But I am really glad I did. Because it really is a very impressive, scenery package. So much detail ! Factories, Wind turbines, elcectricity pylons, Helipads, Airports, and very detailed rivers and Photoreal Scenery, including many buildings too and major cities in Holland. Also an amazing AI package, including AI boats, including Ferries and Hovercraft sailing from Rotterdam port etc. And AI Military Aircraft and Jets, F16 Jets from Leeuwarden, Lockheed Orions from Valkenburg etc. and AI Helicopters flying around, including Chinooks and AH64 Apache's ! and more ! And there is a menu, which allows you to enable and unable different Scenery AI etc, to help improve frame reates, on lower end computers. So it does take ages to download, but it is definately worth it. And make sure you backup the files, in case you lose them. Eddie Here is the Website Link to the Download Page, for this Package :- https://www.nl-2000.com/2009/12/nl2000-version-30-special-edition-download-instructions/

I have found the Package in question, in the FS2002 section in the File Library, so it was on avsim.com afterall.

Hi Dave, Yes the reason I decided to download that package. Is that I couldn't find an Air Jamaica repaint, from the more modern AI Airliners groups. I.e. The Fruit Stand, AI Aardvark etc. For an Airbus A340-300. Only for an FSPainter A340-300. If anyone knows of a more modern one available, could they tell me where I can download it from ? Another A340 version, would be fine. It doesn't have to be an 300 series A340.

Hi there, I wanted to download the following, FSPainter's Airbus Base Files Package :- ai_airbus_complete_120685.zip But when I did a search for it, here on AVSIM.com after doing an Extended Search, in the File Library. The .zip File in question, doesn't appear to be there, even though it is supposed to be. Can someone tell me, another website I can download it from? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Eddie

I used TTools yesterday, to compile some AI Traffic Files for FS2004. I am wondering, is it possible to add @ symbols, to the arrival times, of all Flightplans, in an AI Traffic .bgl File. Without having to do it manually yourself ? Which for a File with many Flightplans, would be very time consuming, if doing it in notepad after opening the Flightplans File. Is there a program available that can do it for you ? And if so which one ? As I would like to do that for a particular AI Traffic .bgl File. Update :- After doing a pretty thorough search of Flight Simulator Forums. I have found reference, to a Program called ATSymbol.zip But I can't find it to download anywhere so far. Does anyone know of a website, where you can download it from ? Any help and info would be very much appreciated. Best Regards Eddie Winch

Hi 3Green and ronzie, Thankyou very much for your information, And thankyou 3Green for the links to the Program I was looking for. I very much appreciate, you both helping me. I have downloaded the Program in question, and I am going to run it very soon. Best Regards Eddie Winch

Hi there, I have looked at the following Website's, download Section, for the Program Aircraft Analyser 2005 :- http://aifs2.pvdveen.net/ and it doesn't appear to be on there to download. I downloaded from the same Website, and have run Aircraft Analyser 2017, but it doesn't appear to have as many Options and functions as the 2005 Program. As I have read the documentation, on the same Website from the 2005 Program. Does anyone know, of another Website, you can download the 2005 Program from ? Or if not, if someone has this Program, could they Email it to me ? My Email Address is :- eddywinch82@gmail.com Any help and info would be very much appreciated. Best Regards Eddie Winch

Thanks ronzie, for your helpful reply, it's much appreciated. Eddie

I see ronzie thanks for your suggestion. Could it be a scenery problem ? i.e. could the EHAM Data for the Mega Airport Schipol, be different to the stock FS2004 Schipol Aiport data ? And that cause an issue in AI Smooth ? i.e. in the RO.db file if the data is different for the Aerosoft Mega Airport would I need to change the numbers to match in that file ? Could it only be using data from the Stock FS2004 Airport ? I.e. akin to the problem mentioned, with a non Stock Scenery on page 1 of this thread ?

And it happened before, when I was using just AI Smooth V 1.11 and tried again with V 1.20 same settings with both. Even without running AI Separation V1.1, the AI Aircraft in question disappeared in Flight on approach to the Airport as did others. Also can AI Aircraft i.e. an Airliner be deleted in flight, by FS2004 if there is insufficient parking or unsuitable parking, at an Airport when it is approaching it ? Or will it always approach, land and then disappear on the runway only ? Could it be to do with what has been discussed in this thread ? I.e. the Scenery in question is Aerosoft's Mega Airport (Amsterdam Schipol) i.e. not a stock FS2004 Airport. And when I mean vanish i do mean that. Not disappear briefly, and or be slewed back by AI Separation, to start it's approach again.

Sorry I will space my text out, i am at my voluntary work at the moment. Will sort that out when I get back. I am just saying I was running AI Smooth and AI Separation together, with Dave Sheffields recommended settings. This AI Aircraft in question disappeared, on approach to the Airport a Vueling A320. When I ran FS2004 again at the same time day etc without those 2 programs running, the same AI Aircraft didn't disappear on approach and landed. Why would that happen without those two programs running. But would with them running ? Could a moderator, please edit my previous post so it has paragraphs ? There is no option for me to edit the post. As too much time has passed. Eddie

I am using AI Smooth V1.11 and AI Separation V1.1, together when running FS2004. With the recommended settings that Dave Sheffield has told people they should use, when running in tandem with each other. I will try AI Smooth V1.20 again with ronzie's settings, I found on a forum post a while back, or with AI Separation with the above setup I mentioned. Interestingly the other day, I ran FS2004 at the same time Day Month and Airport, without running those two programs. And an AI Aircraft a Vueling Airlines A320, now didn't disappear on approach and landed at the Airport when before it was when running them ? I can't remember which other AI Aircraft did or didn't disappear, but that is interesting in itself. But unfortunately without running AI Smooth V1.11 at least. obviously more go arounds resulted, and as is well known, AI Aircraft are deleted by the FS2004 Engine, if they are told to go around more than 3 times by the ATC. Why would without running AI Smooth and AI Separation, the Vueling Airline now land and not disappear on approach ? Does AI Smooth delete AI Aircraft sometimes ? It seems that if I alter certain settings in AI Smooth V1.11 or V1.20, different AI Aircraft disappear, than before. so a Schedule problem I don't think can be the cause. And is there a way that can be prevented from happening ? i.e. modification of the program (if allowed) in some way ? I have alot of AI Traffic. But not too much I don't think, I have Ultimate Traffic installed. But I always carefully unselect the relevant Airlines when doing an "Ultimate Traffic" Traffic File compile, if I install a new package for the same Airline. Or if say two Airlines have merged, and I install the merged Airline package, i.e. un select the now defunct Airlines that merged to make the new Airline from the Ulitmate Traffic Airline Compile menu when Compiling, and also If an Airline has changed i.e. AIR 2000 became First Choice. I would unselect AIR 2000 from "Ulitmate Traffic" Traffic File compilation, before installing the First Choice AI Traffic package, which I have from WOAI. And the same applies with other Airlines. So I don't just overload FS2004 with Traffic I carefully manage it. Also this deletion of AI Aircraft on approach, happens even when I have disabled General Aviation Traffic. Any help and information someone could give me would be much appreciated. I really could do with help, is is very frustrating having this happen so often and it happens more with AI Smooth V1.20 than 1.11 Could it be to do with what has been discussed in this thread ? I.e. the Scenery in question is Aerosoft's Mega Airport (Amsterdam Schipol) i.e. not a stock FS2004 Airport. Best Regards Eddie Winch

Any help and information you could give me would be much appreciated. I.e. could you suggest what I could edit in it's Schedule, to maybe prevent the disappearing from happening ? I have a version of the Freeware Program AI Flightplanner, which I use for editing AI Traffic Flightplans. Best Regards Eddie Winch

I am just wondering, I am quite happy most of the time, to just view AI Traffic at Airports I have installed, i.e. using the freeware program TrafficViewBoard. Is it possible to use Radar Contact V4.3's ATC alone, for listening to and controlling AI Traffic, without flying ? It is apparently much more realistic than the default one ? FS2004's default ATC isn't effective for controlling my AI Traffic properly. AI Aircraft are disappearing at times, as commands are not given to some AI traffic, after a while and they fly on and on, before disappearing when they were on approach, i.e. being deleted by FS2004. Even when I am using AI Smooth V1.11 and AI Separation V1.1 in tandem with each other, using Dave Sheffield's recommended settings. And if it is possible, how should I go about setting up what I have said I would like to do ? Any help and info someone could give me would be much appreciated. Best Regards Eddie Winch

Just wondering, What should the TCAS Range value, be changed to in the FSUIPC Program when using Radar Contact V4.3 ? The default value is 40.

Many thanks Ronzie, I will do what you recommend accordingly, Thanks for the information. Regards Eddie Winch

Thanks kingm56, for warning me about that, I have done what you say I should do accordingly. Gosh silly me, I can't believe I did that. Many thanks for your reply )) Eddie Winch

Hi there, Update :- I have managed to sort out the installation problem, for the above program I was having. I Deleted the original download .zip File. And I downloaded the Program again. Then this time I extracted the Files with Windows Explorer, rather than the other program I used last time. And now the installation program worked properly. So now I just need the Reg Key for the program. And I have emailed my ID details, to the official website to register the Program, as the Program says you should do, when you first start it. But I have not had a reply yet unfortunately. Eddie Winch

Hi there, Yesterday I paid for and downloaded the Radar Contact V 4.3 program, from the website http://www.jdtllc.com However when I tried to install it yesterday evening, it said that some of the files were corrupted in the File rcv43-1.bin Is that a mistake ? Am I doing something wrong ? I downloaded the program with the Program "Internet Download Accelerator and made a backup copy, on my External Hardrive in case I lost the Files on my computer. Is the problem copy protection ? I.e.if you make a copy, the files are deliberately corrupted, so you can't just pass the program, onto someone else who hasn't paid for it ? Any help and info someone could give me would be much appreciated. Best Regards Eddie Winch

I have noticed when running FS2004 before, that the CSA Airlines AI Aircraft does disappear on pushback. But then when I check the departure section of the TrafficViewboard Progam, a while later the same Aircraft is in the menu in Flight. What could cause that to happen ? Also what causes AI Aircraft to disappear in Flight on approach, I am having AI Aircraft disappear in Flight not crash on approach to the Mega Airport Amsterdam Schipol Addon. I am running AI Smooth V1.20, could a certain setting in that cause that to happen. It seems if I change the Control Batchsize setting different AI Aircraft disappear, i.e. one that previously disappeared will no longer do so, and the order in which AI Airliners land is different aswell ? Any help someone could give me would be much appreciated.
