• 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.

Hello fellow simmers.

I have a problem. When I make a flightplan, the aircraft departs as planed but it never return. What can I have don wrong?
With regards Kurt:confused:
 
Need a littkle more info, Kurt. Please send me the compiled traffic file.

Don
 
Kurt, you're making this much more difficult than it should be. Please tell me which flight plan leg doesn't return and what, if any, other problems you are experiencing.

Flightplan

Hej Don

Every of my flightplans contains 2 legs. Leg nr. 1 allways works. Aircraft is taxiing to runway and depards as planed. But leg 2 where they should return to my airport do not work. It´s the same if I am flying between 2 other airport. At the moment i´m only flying in europe ( timezone ). I´m sure I do something wrong.

I've looked at a number of legs. There does not appear to be anything wrong with the traffic file and it validates without error. (AIFP's error checking is very comprehensive - some would say too much so.) So, I suspect the problem lies in your system or your interpretation of when the flight should return. Are you checking against local time or GMT? The traffic/flight plan files always use GMT, but AIFP will display either.

You state that every flight departs but does not return. Have you checked whether or not it departs on the return leg at the proper time? Do the return legs show in your Traffic Toolbox Explorer? Do you have any compiled-for-FS9 traffic files on your system anywhere that FSX can "see"? FS9 and FSX traffic files do not "play" well together.

While not likely having anything to do with your current difficulty, an activity level of 100% (as you have in all your flight plans) means that your traffic sliders must be all the way to the right all the time for these a/c to appear. As well, I notice you have a number of WoAi aircraft for which the cruise speed is programmed at 200 kts. You should restore their cruise speeds to the normal value for those aircraft.

I am quite certain the problem is not the fault of the traffic file, so you should look at the "environment". Sorry I can't be more specific. But, without having access to your system, there's not much more I can do. However, there's a troubleshooting guide at the end of the user manual and several "sticky" posts in this forum that you may find helpful.

All Works

Hello again Don.

I don´t know why, but after a few regulations in my flightplans, every thing works now. Aircraft departs and return, cars are driving around the airport, and I am happy. I´m very thankfull for your help.

With regards
Kurt:wave:
