I downloaded an addon scenery found here on Surclaro. Chas2k4u.zip http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op=search&query=chas2k4u.zip . I can fly this scenery all that I want to and it generlly looks wonderful; that is if you might not mind the heavy frame rates (6 - 10 on my computer). With the default Scenery in place (addon turned off) there are 20-30 AI craft parked and / or in taxi / taking off. With the Addon turned on, there is NOTHING. Just a baren empty airport. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

Thanks.

(to the mods, i dont know if AI TRAFFIC is where this should go, or in SCENERY -- so here it is)

Give me a minute, I'll have a look.

UPDATE: OK, The AF2_KCHS Goes in the scenery folder, inside the Addon Scenery folder. Move it, dont copy and paste it.

Then the whole "Charleston Scenery" folder, goes into the Addon Scenery folder.

Close it all down, run FS9, go into settings/Scenery Library/Add Area, then navigate to Addon Scenery folder, open it, look for Charleston Scenery, click on it, press OK, then OK again, exit FS9, then restart, you will then find it in your directory. Airport ID: KCHS

There is plenty of parking, so as long as your AI traffic slider is turned up, you should not have a problem

oh i had forgot to mention, that i also have AFCAD 2.2.1 and i had transferred all the "original" parking codes to the "modified" or addon bgl's, in the thought that if i had the right parking codes, then ATC would know planes could park in certain spots, and hoping that they would just show up... but i will have a look at what you suggest and try it out. Thanks.

The new Afcad takes care of that, you should not have to do anything to it.

well, 1/2 way off the subject of this.... but i just tried to go into my AFCAD221 program, and it is saying that there are NO Stock airports. EVERYTHING is a modified airport and it will not open anything. hmmmm

its not only KCHS.bgl 's.... its every airport in FS9.... i wonder if having FS9 and X on the same HDD with AFCAD is what is causing AFCAD to mess up?? Rolling Eyes

(scratches head feverishly)

edit: i mean, everything is working fine.... i can fly just fine, see scenery just fine, see AI just fine (just cant see AI at addon airport) and i would hate to have to uninstall / reinstall if nothing is technically "broke" ... oh well. guess i just cant edit any airports. Rolling Eyes

First, having Fs9 and FSX on the same drive does NOT mess up your AI or AFCADs. Second, there could be a couple of reasons for the AI not showing up. First would be flight plan errors, second would be AFCAD goofs not having parking properly linked to the taxiways or wrong size parking spots not allowing designated traffic at that airfield.

I had the same problem a couple months ago with AFCAD, that your having now. Just get it again, and reinstall it.

And no, you do not need to delete or uninstall it. Just get it again, and put it in the same place.
