The original PHNL scenery is from a long time ago, you probably don't have it installed into FSX. Did you install the FSX version that is on my scenery page? Did you add the PHNL scenery folder as a layer in the Scenery Library? I downloaded from AVSIM and installed what was labeled as an "FSX conversion by Kenny Fox, you, and Bernward Bockheim". I forgot to add the PHNL scenery as a layer. Shame on me. Started FSX and the classic scenery was there! Yay. But also the modern aircraft - WOA - appeared too. So maybe I need to move them somewhere else? Still have not run across that CalClassic core file the download made reference to -- maybe had something to do with the FS2004 version? Maybe just ignore it altogether? I moved the modern aircraft and now they are gone as expected. Thank you.

That scenery reference about the Core folder was from MANY years ago and I can't imagine that anyone would have installed it into FSX. Thus you will not have a Core folder unless you install a different scenery that contains that folder (the current Honolulu scenery does not). So yes, ignore it - it does not apply to you.
The modern aircraft are present because you have not renamed the trafficAircraft.bgl file in the FSX/Scenery/World/scenery folder to trafficAircraft.bgl.orig. That way you can keep the modern aircraft if you wish.

Tom, just want to let you know I've been trying to search for FS9 files as you suggested in your emails of May 11 and 12. No luck yet, but one odd thing: after removing some files (almost on a try-and-see basis), I did get a MATS transport aircraft to reappear at KJFK. Otherwise, still no AI traffic in the Northeast. I'll keep trying. Thanks again for any suggestions.

If you got a MATS aircraft to appear, then you should have the rest of the traffic as well. Do you have a year (1957, 1959, or 1962) checked as active in the Scenery Library?

I believe it's 1962. The KLGA scenery I'm using is 1950, but does that make a difference for traffic?

Well, now the MATS plane is gone too....

No, only the layer checked in the Scenery Library will determine the year of the AI traffic.
Have you moved all of the aircraft folders from the FSX/Aircraft folder into the FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes folder?

So far as I know, yes. Have spent some time tonight using AIFP to find and convert any FS9 files (just a few found), but no luck yet. Can't thank you enough for the continued help. I'll keep trying tomorrow.

Alright! After much trial and error and think I found the offending files--when I remove the Central Europe, East Germany and EGLL files, my Northeast US traffic came back. I'm feeling VERY relieved and very appreciative of your help and guidance! I'll continue tinkering to see if I can get EGLL, Central Europe and East Germany working. While I'm at it, I really have to commend and thank you and CalClassics for absolutely wonderful aircraft and scenery. This is all pretty amazing.

There is a function in AI Flight Planner to search folders for FS9 Traffic files. You can use that, or I think the files all start with the word Traffic.

Hey guys,
I'm very happy calclassic's vintage AI traffic is working with FSX. Thanks again for creating this wonderful package!
But there's one thing I need your help: For performance reasons and other reasons it don't want to use addon airports. Furthermore the AFCAD files coming with the AI do not work with FSX. So the problem is that some airports the AI tries to fly to it or from it just do not exist (e.g. XDEN). Do you have any idea how to solve this problem without installing the addon airports?
Two suggestions: 1. Is there any chance to get the vintage AFCAD files (file ten) running under FSX? 2. Is there a way to edit the traffic file to set the origins and destinations to the standard FSX scenery? (XDEN > KDEN and so on).
Thanks a lot for your help,
Zacke

Hi,
What do you mean the AFCAD files do not work? They work for me in FSX. I need more information before I can help with #1.
For #2, you can move traffic to other airports using AI Flight Planner. Load the flight plan BGL file. Then Flight Plans/Reroute Traffic.
Hope this helps,

Hi Tom, thanks for your very fast reply. When I install file ten (the AFCAD files) into FSX it seems not to do anything. The core folder is there and activated but I can't see any changes in FSX's scenery (e.g. KDEN > XDEN).
And as far as I know FS9 AFCAD do not work in FSX. Or am I wrong?

FS9 AFCAD files work fine in FSX, as long as the surrounding scenery is still compatible.
The AFCAD zip file in the AI package generally has AFCADs for airports that are NOT available as full airports from my scenery page. Thus XDEN is not included in that package. You would need to install the Stapleton 1958 package to get that airport.
Hope this helps,

Sorry, but I can't find scenery differences with core folder on or off. I'm using FSX's standard scenery only. With the AFCAD files there comes a file "Aiport Changes". If there's written "(Classic AFCAD Package)" and that airport is not present as full airport scenery on the scenery download page, shouldn't it then be present from the core folder as AFCAD? Seems I'm missing something.
