Problem - Same Flightplan Different Airports

Problem - Same Flightplan Different Airports -Solved

I'm having a problem where AI Aircraft using the same flightplan appear at certain airports and not at others. The flightplans all compile without error using TrafficDatabaseBuilder from the Flight Simulator X SDK. When I compile the flightplan for use at KSPG (St. Petersburg/Whitted) the aircraft appears and begins touch and go flights but when I compile the same flightplan for CYKF (Toronto/Buttonville) the aircraft never appears and is not listed in Traffic Explorer. You would assume that the problem must be in the airport data but I cannot see the problem. I've attached the flightplans, aircraft and airport data that are used to compile the flights.

Can anyone spot what is wrong?

====================================
This flightplan works...

0100,KSPG,12,,0130

Hi Folks

Dave -
Just in case its the blindingly obvious
and both plans are active.

An aircraft cannot be in two places at once.

Change the tail-numbers in the second plan.

I don't think ATC cares about tail numbers. I'm looking at Traffic Toolbox in my FSX right now and see three 172s with the same tail number.

My guess is that there is some limitation in TDBB. I know of a few peculiar things about how it sets up traffic. I suppose tail numbers could be one.

In my opinion, AIFP is a far better tool for AI.

Problem Solved

I downloaded an FSX Utility from ADE that searches through all the scenery files looking for duplicatre airports. (FSX Airport Scanner) The program found a duplicate airport BGL for CYTZ - Toronto City Centre. Once the file was removed the AI aircraft re-appeared and the problem was solved. Here is a link to the utility.

Thanks to all for your help
