KDOV is the place and C-5A's are the aircraft (mike stone's to be exact) after using simple AI i made some flights from KDOV to ORBS and KDOV to ETAD, KDOV to EGUN, and KDOV to RODN, none of the aircraft are present (yes i went to the PAI's AFCAD site and got airport mods for all of the above bases....

here is the info simple ai made

AC#9278,MI87943,99%,Week,IFR,08:30:00,00:00:00,280,R,7943,ORBS,08:00:00,00:00:00

,275,F,7948,KDOV

I checked to make sure i had the right aircraft name in the TTools aircraft file.

any suggestions?

You currently have your aircraft fly that route only once a week. To make it work you need to add a number 0-6 to specify the day of the week it should fly. For example the first one would be

AC#9278,MI87943,99%,Week,IFR,

08:30:00,00:00:00,280,R,7943,ORBS,

08:00:00, 00:00:00,280,R,7944,KDOV

1 means it will leave monday at the following time and 2 means it will return tuesday.

If you want it to fly more often just change week to 24 and it will fly every day. Do not add number unless the route is weekly.

Make sure your traffic slider is at 99% or more (or reduce the % value in the flightplan). Make sure your at the right airport at the right day/time, GMT.

The 1st and 2nd plans look ok.

3rd plan-second leg departs from etad before it arrives from dov.

4th and 5th plans-the legs are out of order, they must progress from the earliest (in the week) to the latest. The only time that can cross over from day 6 to day 0 is the last arrival.

A good tool to assist checking out ai traffic is the MS FS2004 Traffic Toolbox SDK. The 'Explorer', allows you to check on the status of flights. As it lists the GMT day/time it helps assure your in sync with the flightplan time.

And remember: there are in fact, two (2) sets of these flightplans.

The ones you've posted and the ones viewed after Compiling and Decompiling using TTools. The latter are the ones FS9 uses and really, the only ones worth considering.

If the former contain significant errors, TTools202 will not Compile them.

P.S. Using M.S.'s C5 as AI could turn one's FS9 into a slideshow (if used in sufficient numbers).

One other thing to check is the parking radius that you are using for the C-5 spots at the various bases. If my memory serves me correctly the Mike Stone model C-5 uses a 49m radius for parking while the sort of "agreed upon standard" for AFCAD parking radius for the C-5 is only 44m.

So if you downloaded a bunch of AFCADs from PAI they most likely have their C-5 radius, or general Ramp_Mil_Cargo slots set to 44m. This may prevent the Mike Stone model from showing up.

There is a way to change the parking radius of that model using AFCAD. Otherwise you can just go through the different bases using AFCAD and change the parking radius to 49m for all the spots where you want that AI model to park.

If that still doesn't do the trick or you have other issues with your military AI aircraft I invite you to come see us over at www.militaryaiworks.com
