• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

1.6.29 compile keeps empty

I've got a problem using the new 1.6.29 version.
a big bug I presume...

tried with 2 flightplans already (First Air Winter 2009 by AIG and Ethiopian Airlines Winter 2009 by AIG)

on my laptop with FS9 installed I get the message on both that an airport is missing. normally I just continue to compile the bgl and fix the issue later.
but now when I say compile and choose the option to ignore the error there is no .bgl file after the compile.

tried it also with Ethiopian Airlines Cargo Winter 2009 by AIG which does not report an error in available airports, but that also gives me no .bgl file

going back to my latest backup version 1.6.25 and trying again on these 3 flightplans gives me 3 nice .bgl's
 
OK I've found out what goes wrong after doing a search for the bgl file by name on my entire harddisk...

they were put in my FS9 folder\Addon Scenery
this was somehow changed from my standard setting after the upgrade.

please close this topic as it has been solved and is a non-issue...
 
sorry but there does seem to be something wrong with 1.6.29

it keeps saving to \addon scenery
I can change the path one time, but the next flightplan that I compile automatically goes to \addon scenery (although the save dir says \scenery\world\scenery where I really want it)

hope you can fix this as this is really annoying

The compile feature works as expected on two of my computers. My XP machine has FS9. The AIFP update wanted to compile to the addon scenery folder. After I changed it to world/scenery, it compiled to the correct folder each time thereafter. On my Vista computer with FSX, the AIFP update retained my World/scenery compile location from the previous version.
Do you have problems with any other software? And what OS do you have?

relatively fresh WinXP Pro x32 install (incl. SP3 and all updates up untill now)
FS9.1 is installed and a few tools.

I use this laptop primarily to compile my AI-traffic and to test out scenery/aircraft, however I do sometimes use it to fly also.
It is an old (4-years) laptop though so performance is fairly low.

Up untill now I never got any issues with AIFP.
 
It appears that AIFP.ini, located in the main AIFP folder, handles where files are saved.
Check the properties of it to make sure it hasn't been set to read only.
The line Last Compile To Folder= tells AIFP where to save compiled traffic.

that's also correct and pointing to c:\fs2004\scenery\world\scenery

strange thing is when I open a flightplan and choose compile, the path he shows me is correct but when I then say compile it still puts it in c:\fs2004\addon scenery
also when I change the folder at that point it defaults to c:\fs2004\addon scenery

could it be that my fs-folder is not in the standard location but c:\fs2004 ???
 
Yuku, it doesn't matter where the destination folder is located.

As far as I can tell, the last-used traffic file "save-to" folder is preserved and is used for the next compile unless you change it.

Would you please give me a "step-by-step" of what you are doing and also send me your AIFP.ini file.
