Traffic appears at airport - does not land (Read 312 times)

Hi all,

I have an AI Air New Zealand 767-300 fly from Auckland to Perth (Australia) (real route), but the plane just appears at the airport when it approaches it's arrival time. It does not appear in the air space and land. I don't know if it has to do with the distance between the airports as AI traffic does work normally with closer airports. What's happening???

Thanks!

There's a problem with AF2 file but without a screeenshot I cannot report what that problem is. Run Faultfinder on the AF2 file.

Thanks for the reply! They are the default AFCADS. I will do what you mentioned.

I checked with the fault finder - only fault was an isolated group of taxiway links which don't mean much. Other AI traffic land fine, seems that international type traffic has this problem. ???

Just a thought on this one.............

I had a similar problem when I set up an airport I designed with AFCAD and then populated with AI shedules. Most of the AI routes into the airport were short, about 30 mins flying time. I went to my airport at a busy time on my shedules when aircraft should have been landing, but nothing.......only aircraft taking off.
I checked everything and found no faults, so I returned to the airport and waited 30 minutes, low and behold! aircraft started landing.

My assumption was that the clock is set when you start FS and that landing aircraft will not appear untill they have had time to fly their complete route. I don't know how long it takes from Auckland to Perth, but maybe this is the reason?

I am probably wrong, but from my own experience with short routes I thought I would throw this one in.

Thanks for the reply Ivor!

It takes about 7h 35min (if I remember correctly) to fly from Auckland to Perth. I have waited 40 minutes before it's actual arrival time, but the plane just appears at the gate, no landing. ???

I will try other long distance routes again.

Could you post the line from 'flightplans.txt' for the flight?

Hi Dave,

Here is the line:

AC#1,ZK-VQF,1%,WEEK,IFR,6/03:05:00,@6/09:40:00, 350 ,F,0175,YPPH,6/10:55:00,@6/18:20:00, 360 ,F,0176,NZAA

Fixed arrival time might be a problem ??? I'll just try it without a fixed time.

Thanks

EDIT: I tried it without a fixed arrival time and that seemed to 'fix' it as the plane is 'enroute' now. So it does not like those fixed arrival times then. ???
