AI Aircraft will not land

Hi All
I have added afcad files to default airports in New Zealand and added new aircraft to use as AI traffic. The new aircraft appear at the airports, but when an AI flight approaches the airport it gains altitude and flys off. Any suggestions

Cheers HSV

Hire some more prefessional and capable pilots  ;).

Sorry..... couldn't resist.

That is usually a sign that the parking has an issue.  Did you run the fault finder in AFCAD?

best,

Hsv,

If an AI aircraft overflies the destination airport, you might want to check a couple of things:

1. If the flight plan for the aircraft involved is VFR, try changing it to IFR.

2. Also check the cruise altitude for the flight plan and make sure it is appropriate for that type of aircraft and for the flight distance.

Furthermore, it always helps to use add-on aircraft in the AI flight plans that were designed for AI traffic use.

Good luck! :)
