How long ago did it happen?

What's the last thing you remember doing before it happened - like deleting or modifying files?

What have you already tried to fix it?

it happened a few days ago.

well, i know a few weeks before i deleted the FS2002.cfg file. Other than that, nothing...i dont think (not including adding aircraft)

I first thought: "oh, my AI traffic percentaqe must be at zero..." so i pulled up that menu and it said it was at %100.

So...?

Did you check for the ai traffic file-'...\FS2002\SCENEDB\ATC\Scenery\traffic.bgl'.

Check the FS2002\Aircraft folder for a file named default.dp. It's quite possible you deleted it by mistake.

If all else fails, backup the stuff you want to keep (downloaded planes, etc.) then reinstall FS... Tongue

Have you added any AI traffic or just using the defaults?

That shouldn't be necessary. AFAIK uninstalling FS2002 does not remove any addon files. The best & quickest method is a duplicate install of FS2002. Rename the FS2002 root directory folder to back it up then do a fresh install in the usual way.

Right, before going to all that bother let's recap. You confirmed you have default.dp in FS2002\Aircraft. Make sure a file named airlines.cfg is in the same location. As previously mentioned look for traffic.bgl in FS2002\SCENEDB\ATC\Scenery It's possible this is missing or corrupt.
Mine is 10.8 Mb. You can't read traffic.bgl any sense in Notepad but can decompile it with TTools to check it out.

It's a long time since I did any of this with FS2002 so it's possible I missed something. These problems used to be quite common.
