Some problems about the AI traffic, help me!

[shushengerdai]

Hi, everyone. I'm your new friend. I've made a new airport, and I want to add some AI aircrafrts to it. After I made an AI traffic, I've got some problems.
1. I want to let the AI aircrafts landing at any runway, just like Runway 02 or Runway 20. Everything work well at first, it means the AI aircrafts can take off and land Runway 02 or Runway 20. But when I change the flightplans, the AI aircrafts just take off and land Runway 20, and they can take off Runway 02, but when they approach on the final, the ATC just let all the AI aircraft "go around" , never let them land Runway 02. I don't know why.
2. When the AI aircrafts take off Runway 02, they just turn left. So if I want to make them turn right after they take-off Runway 02, what I need to do?
3. I have an AI aircraft called Cessna CJ1, and I want it park the position which I assign, for example, I just want it stay Parking 12, how to make it?

Thank you!

Hi, new friend,

Welcome to the forum (and me).
1. It would help if you would tell us if you are working in FS2004 or FSX (or P3D) and what program you are using to make AI and what program you use to make the airport suitable for AI.
2. What airport are you speaking of?
3. If you want an aircraft park in the position you assign, you have to code the airport parking spot for it and add the same code to the aircraft.cfg (in the [fltsim.x] > atc_parking_codes=xxx).
All joking aside, do not hesitate to upload a screenshot or an AFD file to help us find out how to help.

1. You'd probably have to attach your airport file for us to see the problem when approaching.
2. You cannot fix this - they will turn in the direction of their destination airport.
3. In the Cessna's aircraft.cfg file include this line in that livery's fltsim section:

atc_parking_codes=CJ1

and in the parking spot 12's Properties, set the following Parking Code:

CJ1

Now it should usually park there, unless there is not enough parking for the other planes and they park there first.

Thank you, Roby.
1.I play the FS9, and I use the TTOOLS to make AI. I compile three text files (Airports_ZUXJ.txt, Aircraft_ZUXJ.txt and FlightPlans_ZUXJ.txt) to Traffic_ZUXJ.bgl.
2. The airport which I mention is called Xinjin Airport (ICAO code is ZUXJ, it locates in Chengdu, China), due to this airport isn't created by other people, so I make it.

Thank you, again!

Thank you very much, I will try it again.

Here is my new airport, you need to create AI for it to find the problem which I mentioned. Thank you.

Hi,
1. Your afcad airport looks OK but you have no approaches and your pattern altitude is at the same elevation as your airport.
Other than that I see no reason why ATC should tell your AI to go around unless it has to do with your flight plan (too high altitude for small
distance between the two airports in the flight plan?) or a badly configured AI aircraft.
2. Tom answered that question.
3. We both answered that question.
PS: sorry I do not have the AFCAD program anymore and cannot send you an af2 file with approaches defined.
Will be back tomorrow as it is almost night here. Could be that I overlooked some stuff. Maybe Tom Gibson can take over when he wakes up, because he is the expert in FS9.

Hi,

AFCAD cannot create approaches; it uses the default approaches (if any). If a completely new airport, it is VFR only. Using ADE instead of AFCAD, you can create approaches for new airports, and if you add an ILS frequency will even offer to create a simple ILS approach for you (making real approaches is not a trivial task). You can even load your AFCAD BGL file into ADE to avoid starting over.

Regarding your AFCAD as it is, the magnetic variation is set at -140 degrees, which I'm sure is not correct. The nearby airport ZUUU has it's variation set to -2 degrees, which is probably correct. Try resetting the variation in your airport properties (right click a white area) to -2. That will give the a runway true heading of 220 degrees. The magnetic heading is then 222 degrees.

Finally, you should rename the runway to Rwy 22/4, to match the magnetic heading. After that, don't forget to check/change the names of the start locations and black runway lines too.

After this, check your AI traffic.

Hope this helps,
