Hi Edd, Glad you're enjoying it. The UK indeed looks very different. Take care,

Yeah, it sure does. Too bad I was ill for most of December, otherwise I could have done the Skyways Yorks too, as well as the Globe Air Ambassadors... :/

We can always do another update later. I just had some time over the holidays to get this out - took about 12 hours of solid work to get it out (and I'm sure there are mistakes in it, of course...). Take care,

Hi Tom,
I checked some of the Afcad's of the Indochina Scenery. At Tan Son Nhut appeared an Air France Caravelle (1959 traffic). It might be a mistake. I think these flights should be done by a L-1049C (AC#22 instead of AC#24 in Flightplans 1959). The Caravelle seems also to be scheduled for flights to Khartoum or Dakar. I don't know whether such flights were really done by Caravelle. May be that could be checked and adapted at the next update.
Thanks for all. Bernard

Hi, By no means is the traffic perfect yet. The 1959 AF traffic is generated by a modification of the 1958 AF schedule. You will note in the 1959 Airline List that it is listed as: Air France 1958e This means that the 1958 flight plan file was modified to add new aircraft for 1959 (i.e. the Caravelle). So we added some Caravelles to the most logical flights, but even these have errors, as you have seen. But I'll look into that and see if I can find some more logical flights to choose instead instead of those. Hopefully someone will be able to do a true 1959 Air France schedule some day - in this update we did get a real 1962 AF schedule. Hope this helps,

Well, the Caravelle was introduced into Air France service in May 1959, being second only to SAS (April '59), being first used on the Paris/Orly - Rome - Athens - Istanbul route. As a full Air France '59 schedule currently lacks, I just searched the SAS schedules to cross-reference what they did with their Caravelles.
It seems the furthest East SAS' Caravelles went in '59 was Teheran (SK843, 845 and 847 on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays respectively, with return flights SK844, 846 and 848 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays respectively - route was Copenhagen - Stuttgart - Geneva - Rome - Athens - Beyrouth - Teheran) Indeed, looking at other West-European Caravelle operators, it seems that up to the late 60s Caravelles rarely ventured further East; I do remember seeing shots of a Sterling Caravelle at Colombo, present-day Sri Lanka, but they used the later 'Super' Caravelle version by then.
The furthest South SAS' Caravelles went in '59 was Khartoum (SK965 on Wednesdays, and SK966 return on Thursdays): its route was Copenhagen-Düsseldorf-Budapest-Athens-Cairo-Khartoum. So that would have been possible. Don't know about Dakar, though.

Have discovered an odd thing, I seem to have double the traffic. Last night at Rome Ciampino I was number 2 for take off behind TWA 131 with another TWA 131 behind me. Traffic volume also appears doubled and monitored FS9 ATC talking to two different aircraft using the same flight number.
Only traffic enabled is the the CalClassic 1957 scenery and it only contains the Traffic_1957.bgl and TrafficWorld_1957.bgl files.
Tried removing and reinstalling with no joy so any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance. Chris.

Take a look at your Scenery Library. If you have a layer called Propliner AI Traffic and/or Early Jet AI Traffic you need to deactivate both of those.
Hope this helps,

Hi again,
I've made a tiny update to the AFCAD file in the package. It didn't include proper versions of the Rose Bay (Sydney) and Lord Howe Island seaplane bases, so you might not be able to watch the Ansett Sandringhams come and go. Just download and reinstall.
Hope this helps,

Re-visited the issue and determined that the problem was located between the chair and the keyboard. I had edited and recompiled the Traffic_57.bgl file to change airfields in Dakar from GOOY to the ATC-43 GORF and simply renamed the original file as Org_Traffic_57.bgl thinking that renaming would be enough. Obviously FS9 loads the .bgl file regardless of what it's named. Moved the original to my backup file folder and the extra traffic is gone. D'oh. A very embarassed Chris...

Hi, No problem. That's why I rename all BGL files to xxx.BGL.bak or similar - if they don't end in .bgl then they won't be loaded. Same thing for .dll files too. Of course some people might want to see double the traffic...

I never tire of watching the AI come and go but trying to keep to the timetable schedule and finding yourself as Number 7 for takeoff from LaGuardia... Chris

Hi again, I've made a tiny update to the AFCAD file in the package. Thanks Tom! The original produced this fine sight, even if it was the wrong side of Rose Bay. The default coastline doesn't exactly help non-locals ATB MikeW

Hi, Nice shot. You're lucky it's at Rose Bay at all - I had trouble enough finding that. There was an AFCAD for Rose Bay in the original distribution, but none for Lord Howe Island. The new one is a bit better, but we still don't know exactly where the seaplane base was, and how that relates to the default coastline (which isn't very close...). Thanks,
