TapA321 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi guys, I have only just noticed an annoying problem with Portland FZ2 by Flight Scenery, where the AI have a tendancy to park on top of each other. This happens mostly with the Alaska Airlines aircraft, but also sometimes with the United/Delta/Continental aircraft on the otherside of the airport. I researched the problem and only found one place with information on the topic but that didn't explain how to fix it, it just specified the problem that 'Taxiway B3 doesn't have hold Short call' and so some AI aircraft are not contacting ground and being directed to a correct parking place. :yes: This is a very popular addon so I thought a few people over here might be experiencing/experienced the problem. I hope that this post makes sense! I really appreciate any help and replies! Thank you! George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,195 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Sounds like you have another AFCAD, do you use JF Traffic? If so, disable the JF AF2 file and see if it helps. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Joe, No I don't use JF Traffic and I don't think there is 2 Afcads, because that would deduct frame rates and I get quite good fps there. I think it is a problem with the original Afcad and I have been directed by a member of the JF forums to download one of avsim. This might have fixed this problem, but makes some aircraft park in weird places, like United park in the GA area. I'm still trying to find a solution, though. Maybe I could add the hold short done myself using an AFCAD editing program? Thank you for the reply, George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Sorry to hear your having trouble with KPDX George. Personally i used WOAI and PAI with KPDX with no issues. What traffic programs are you using ? A long shot but you don't have any static aircraft do you ? Also take a look in the manual as it mentions using a tool called scanfd to check for duplicate afcad files. Hope you get this one sorted. Flying Portland up the coast to the freeware Juneau was one of my favourite routes. steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi there Steve, I make all my own AI, with the odd WOAI package here and there, but I have just recently updated my database to summer 2008 flightplans, so I don't use 2007 un-updated packages from WOAI. However, I don't think the traffic is the problem because the other person witnessing the problem was using Ultimate Traffic. I think the thing I need to do is edit the AFCAD to have a hold short node, only I have absolutely no idea how to edit afcads as I have no knowledge of them whatsoever, and I don't really like to fiddle with things when I don't know what I am doing. So, perhaps, I'll have to see if someone who does have knowledge of AFCADs could make the alteration for me, otherwise I might have to stick with Double parking AI :yes: I might see if I could put up a post on the FlightScenery forum, but their customer service is awful! :doh Thanks for the help George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well sorry of no help and don't expect much over at flight scenery, the developers jumped ship long ago onto other projects and only a few die hards talk over there now. Traffic X is out soon not that helps you much. steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Problem Fixed! I changed one of the dones off of taxiway 'B3' to a 'Hold short done' using Afcad 2.21 and it works! I also changed some of the parking positions to realistic ones, because some reason the US Airways were parking in the GA area? Thanks for the help George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,195 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks for letting us know George, I am rubbish at AI questions as you can see so I am pleased you got it sorted. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
