  1. Hi guys,

    I was wondering if its possible to have a mix of different textures at the same airport for the same vehicle?

    For example, can I have two types of pushback truck, lets say a mix of Iberia and Spanair textures or a mix of GateGourmet and LSG Skychefs catering trucks at the same airport?

    So if I fly to Barcelona, sometimes I'll get an Iberia pushback truck and a gate gourmet and then another time I'll get a Spanair pushback and LSG catering or a mix of these combinations?

    Thanks

    Dan

    Daan,

    With the current release you can assign textures only to an airport or a region, so whatever aircraft you fly you get the same textures on an airport. In a future release we can assign textures to airlines but how that will work is unknown at this stage. Keep in mind that AES works only on the aircraft you're flying, a random assignment of textures I don't expect but you never know what Oliver will come up with :) .

  2. Did you check it on a default airport, look's like the FSX Snow effect, not related to the scenery at all.

    Thanks for your quick response. I think your right, EDDL (default) same effect. Could something be done about that, weather is ok without snow? I checked with the default fair weather in FSX which has 15 degrees celsius, still these snow effects. I have Antartica installed, can that have something to do with it :unsure: ?

  3. Hi,

    I installed over the weekend FSX on my new PC. At the moment only FSX and Aerosoft scenery is installed with fresh downloads from my shop-account.

    On a number of GAP airports (GAP2-2012 and GAP3) I have dirt and smoke showing up when taxiing on taxiways and on the runway. This happens at EDDV, EDDP, EDDH,, EDDW and EDDT. The other airports EDDG, EDDK and EDLW are ok as well as EDDM (non-GAP).

    I hope someone can help me with this.

    Regards,

    Rob

  4. go to you Aerosoft Update/FAQ Account and Download last Update

    I'm must be doing something wrong but when I go to updates on the Aerosoft site and select Mega Airport Frankfurt I can only see Service pack 1 and a fix for static aircraft. Tried to register but get the message that the product is already registered. I have the installation file for version 2.0 (I think it was a free upgrade from MAF2005 as my order-history shows that I bought it in 2007). B.t.w. just noticed that Aerosoft Launcher also did not recognize MAF being installed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  5. Hello Christoph,

    I've re-downloaded and installed the latest version (v1.01) for FS2004.

    But I still can't find the configuration file where I can de-activate/delete the static aircrat on P7 !

    The only option present on my system is the "ELLXTraffic.exe" file, but this is only valid for the AES vehicles, right ?

    Or, could you point me which file I can delete to finally get rid of these odd looking 747s ?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Jeepee,

    Start menu; all programs; Aerosoft/Luxembourg Airport 2004/Airport Config Tool, after you start the tool select Program/Configure Airport

  6. Hallo,

    You should not proceed changing the develloper created AFCAD. As there is used a semi transparent texture for the taxiway the standard afcad taxiway design would be visible underneath. As the designer wanted to have the aereal picture visible instead of afcad standard design he made those taxiways invisible by setting their width amount to zero. Instead he created a platform covering the taxiways , parkings and so on. This causes exactly avoidance of dirt and bouncing effects as an afcad designed taxiway does and should not be the reason of Scotts minor problems - I think, there are mistaken small gaps within the platform near the linkings - maybe Chistoph could have a look on it.

    Greetings

    Rolf

    Hallo Rolf,

    Thanks for your feedback, as I said the developer (Christoph) might have had a reason for this. Scotts minor problem is/was also my problem, after line-up clearance it takes an unrealistic amount of trust to get the plane moving as well as when vacating the runway in the areas where the taxi-link has width zero. I'm looking forward to hear some feedback from Christoph.

    Regards,

    Rob

  7. The problem is in the AFCAD. All links between the runway and the main taxi-way have a width of zero which means your wheels are in the dirt. Changing them to 36,58 meters (width in rest of the AFCAD) will solve your problem.

    Make first a backup of your AFCAD, the developer might have had a reason for this and the change can create another problem but I haven't found one yet.

  8. Hello guys, I have a problem when start FS9 in SBGL with the AES ready, and is that the passway can't move to the aircraft, only the stairs and baggage truck can move, the aircraft I'm using is the SMS A330-200, parked in the Gate 44 in Tropicalsim SBGL

    The most rare thing is when I switch to another aircraft, like the Project Opensky 737-700, the passway can move normally, I have both intelliscene.cfg files installed, one for the A330 and the other for the 737 downloaded from avsim and flightsim websites, but still nothing with the A330

    Any suggestion about why is this happening and how to fix it, please?

    The door is out of reach of the gate. Most likely the default aircraft position in FS9 is not the right position for the A330 in AES. Use the AES-menu to move the aircraft to the right position. Otherwise check the door position of the A330 in the configurator.

  9. I have been trying to resolve a problem with AI traffic (UT2) not crossing RNWY 09/27 enroute to 18 L but holding at N2 idefinately . Any help with this?

    Could be a wrong AFCAD active compared to the wind direction (use the AFCAD-tool to align) or a user plane on runway 09/27

  10. just to advise, managed to solve my low FPS problem by changing my Anisotropic filtering settings in the ATI card from 16x to 8x. Seems to work a charm with this scenery with my frames jumping from 12fps to 35. Not sure why this has such an appreciable difference with EDLV and I have to now re-tweak the rest of my settings to get rid of the dreaded ATI shimmer but it works nonetheless!

    Fantastic looking scenery btw!

    Good catch, lowering the setting on my ATI-card doubled the FPS

  11. Sorry SQ024 I didn't see your reply earlier..

    The AFCAD has parking areas designated 'Ramp Cargo', (Gates 607-616), and the aircraft.cfg file has the atc parking type entries as I posted above. But ATC on arrival at EGLL still only offers 'Taxi to Gate' (i.e. PAX). Is there anything more I can do?

    Thanks,

    M.

    that's not what I meant. Open your Afcad in Afcad2. Double click the parking spot you want to assign to a parking area in stead of a gate to open the parking definition. Change gate into parking (or N Parking, NE Parking, etc). See attached file where Gate 614 is changed in Parking 614. Taxi to parking (or North parking, NorthEast parking, etc) is now offered as option, draw back is that ATC clears you to taxi to parking without mentioning the position.

  12. I'll try - but does that affect what options come up in the FS9 ATC window?

    M.

    No, you have to assign the parking spot to another identification area in the parking definition in AFCAD2, use in stead of Gate; Parking or in case you want several parking areas N Parking or SE Parking.

    I guess we are screaming in the desert because nobody answer since dicember.

    who could help us??? :(

    Hi,

    I agree that the internal development team of Aerosoft could have been more responsive, it looks like they only respond in the german forum. Also my FPS are lower after applying this "performance improvement" update.

    What you can try is the following:

    In the folder Antalya 2010\Antalya_sc\scenery there are four files named LTAI_object_place*. Change the extension of LTAI_object_place_dense.bgl into LTAI_object_place_dense.off, start FS and check your FPS. If not happy continu with switching off LTAI_object_place_medium.bgl.

    I gained a few FPS but still FPS are less then airports like LEBL, EDDM or EDDS

    Rob

  14. .

    MAYBE THAT IT HAS TO BE WITH THE TRAFFIC.BGL FILE

    AI traffic is not generated by the scenery but by UT2. EHRD is only served by a limited number of airlines, from the top of my head CityJet (only weekdays) and Transavia (mainly summer season). If in UT2 there are no flight scheduled for these two airlines to EHRD then no traffic shows up. Have you check UT2 if there are flights scheduled for this airport?

  15. Hi

    After instalation Barcelona ElPrat X - scennery problem with the Barcelona coast was occured..... its mean that the coast of Barcelona is sharpnes

    Please check the last page of the Barcelona FS9 release issues, problem is likely caused by Mallorca and/or Ibiza scenery.

  16. I already have the latest version of EHAM from the FSDT website (and AES 2.08), paid up and fully registered.. Also, as this was a test setup (as per my FSDT thread) I have no clashing sceneries - but exactly the same thing happens in my full DS9 setup on my FS PC.

    Still at a loss after reading other posts I'm afraid.

    Martin

    In which directory did you install FS9 because it sounds like you have a Windows7 UAC problem?

    Read these topics: link1 and the 4th post in this Link2

    Vista UAC works the same as Windows 7 UAC

    Rob

  17. Where is the readme located?

    Andrew Dixon

    In the Amsterdam Schiphol folder after installation.There are no update files available only a new installer so you first have to install before you know what is changed. Maybe because the update is not announced yet it's not officially released but that's what this scenery is suffering from the beginning: Communication. It was Robinn who noticed a new version number on the installer. More then 53.000 views and 550 posts (+ the posts in the removed FS9 thread) for this scenery must indicate something.

    B.t.w. I agree with the observation of Arnaud (#550) that the EHAM FS9 thread is gone and it looks like the support from Gerard (which is appreciated) is only focusing on FSX. When EHAM FSX was released I'm pretty sure that in the FS9 thread was mentioned that the issues of FS9 and FSX would be combined and adressed.

    Having said this I admit that the effort of Gerard on taxi-signs is released also for FS9 in the 1.14 installer.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    I might have to recall my statements on the FS9 thread, first post in this thread is made on February 17th. This was the date that the FS9 version was released. This thread is initiated by Er!c and not Shaun so I'm not sure any more that there was another FS9 thread.

  18. Hello Rob,

    I cant say the ATC sent me out to sea for miles and miles before getting onto the approach, they brought me in at an angle of 95 then about 35 but I ended up landing fine on 36R in FSX.

    Hello Shaun,

    As mentioned in my posts I could only check in FS9 if I could recon the problem of Tomaz. The only problem I could see was the AI-traffic behaviour trying to land on 35R.

    If ATC vectored you properly to 36R in FSX the question of Tomaz in the original post is answered.

    Rob

  19. That's the problem.. I don't know if there's a genuine issue with it that's why I asked a simple question here if anybody ever landed on LTAI. As I said before, it may well be my problem but I can't know that until somebody says:"I landed there. No problems." The only person, SQ024, who tried to help also encountered problems.

    I hope you understand my problem.

    Hi,

    Again I only checked the FS9-version but can imagine that the AFCADs for both versions FS9/FSX have the same errors in the approach definitions. For runway 36R the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is positioned at the wrong end of the runway, that's why the AI-aircraft have a wrong approach heading (see picture in my previous post).

    Runway 36C has an error in the missed approach definition. This has no effect on the AI-traffic because they can land most of the time.

    What I assume is that because of the error in the approach for runway 32R ATC is not able to give vectors to final and you get "forgotten" above the sea. With the corrections I made I get vectors to Initial Approach Fix (IAF) and can use the ILS to land. For some reason ATC still clears me for a visual approach although the approach is defined as ILS. I still have to work out what the problem is.
