General Aviation

[aladino52]

My General Aviation Traffic is up to 100% but there is none at airports. Any advice?

Do you see GA planes in the sky but not at airports?

[aladino52]

No. No where

Some airports do not get GA or ANY traffic at all.

Do you have, or have you used, add-ons that modifies traffic in any way?

While I am not experienced enough to offer a solution for now, one way to verify that you really do have 0% GA traffic is to activate the Traffic Toolbox from the SDK. While FSX:SE has limited SDKs, Traffic Toolbox is definitely included by default.

1.) Go to your Steam FSX\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK. Copy and paste the contents of the dll.xml file to the dll.xml file in C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX (if there is already a dll.xml file there). That folder is hidden so you need to turn on view invisible files in Windows. If there isn't a dll.xml file in the Microsoft folder already, copy the dll.xml from the SDK folder to the Microsoft folder.

2.) Edit the <PATH> of the Traffic Toolbox section of the dll.xml in the Microsoft folder to the correct file path of TrafficToolbox.dll file. You can use spaces. Mine is C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll

3.) Allow FSX to install the Traffic Toolbox when it starts up.

4.) During your flight, go to Tools (newly added) if the top menu bar.

Select Traffic Explorer and it will list ALL the AI planes in your general vicinity. You can also change more AI traffic settings than the normal game settings. See if any GA traffic shows up there. If they don't, list the add-ons you have now and have used in the past and hopefully someone who is better with GA traffic can help out.

Any Help Please

Are you using default traffic or do you have any addon's? If you are using the defaults the skys are pretty empty even on 100% settings. If you want busy skys might be worth looking at some different AI traffic packages.

I am using default and some ai traffic all I want to see back is the default general aviation

Are the "some AI traffic" you installed compatible with FSX AI traffic?

[aladino52]

Yes WOA and MAIW thats all I have I really dont know why they disappeard at 100% it should be some default GA on fsx-se

WOAI and MAIW are FS9 TTools compiled flightplans and not compatible with FSX AI Traffic. You have several choices.

1. Delete WOAI and MAIW FP's and the FSX GA should appear

2. Compile the WOAI and MAIW TTool FP's with a Utitlity like AIFP

This will convert the FS9 TTool flight plan traffic files so they can be used with FSX Traffic Files that have been compiled with the Traffic Database Builder compiler.

[aladino52]

They are already compiled for FSX., or I wouldn't be able to see their airccrafts.

I'm having issues getting my traffic toolbox to show up in fsx and I followed all the steps above

I am not sure where you are getting your information from but invisible AI planes has nothing to do with how a flightplan is compiled.

Just because you can see the WOAI and MAIW AI planes does not mean those FP's are compiled with the FSX timing code for the spawning in the visual AI Zones.
