I'm seeing the same thing. First time I've tried PAI in FS2004. It worked great with 2002 but I installed several packages and went to the airport listed in the Readme as the hub for those flights and there isn't an airplane in sight. The airport is deserted. Does anyone know of a way to verify the PAI flights after installation?

Have you double checked that you're traffic is set to 100%?  I was wondering how you get only PAI to show up, and not the default 737's, and cessna's.... anyone know how to do that?

I checked the airport in ACOF. The first AFCAD file doesn't work so I downloaded a different one from PAI. I checked that by selecting the airport in the "Creat A Flight" screen and that shows parking spaces. I have ample parking and the PAI file for the AI traffic installed correctly (as far as I know) but still no AI aircraft.

Still can't get onto the Help board over at PAI but I sent an email to their support person. I'll let you know what comes of that. Tried having the form over there resend my confirmation email three times and checked that the email address was correct and it was so the forum just isn't sending today. May be a server problem with their forum server.

Budd...what d'yah mean "that don't work"..not much to go on there eh?...Did you get the Installer Yes?...then download an Airline PAI file to your desk top...open the installer and point it to the PAI file and click open YES?..Then keep clicking the next button til it gets to the end....then close the Installer. You should the see aircraft all around the world. Say you pick AA then you should see them mostly at JFK etc maybe ....Swiss will appear more at Kloten and so on. get different airlines and set the AI slider to max...just do the simple install don't try to complicate things by customising things....if that don't work then your set up is different to mine. ;D ;D Did you download the USER manual?

Here's a sample at Zurich Airport.........they move out and return as aircraft do y'know ;)

If you simply want to see your favorite a/c flying instead of the default, that can be done fairly simply with Traffic Tools, available here....

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Well, I still haven't gotten the military aircraft to show. I installed an AFCAD file that gives Elmendorf parking spaces and a package of aircraft that is supposed to be based at Elmendorf but whenever I go there the airport is deserted. Just nothing but empty parking spots.

I registered yesterday for the PAI forum but haven't recieved my activation email so I still can't post the problem. I tried emailing the person listed as the support contact for the installer and this is the answer I got:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.projectai.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)


I tried three times to have their system resend my forum activation and all three times I didn't recieve a reply.

EDIT
Just tried having the activation resent and still no email. I have all spam filters turned off and I confirmed the email address by copying and pasting the email the forum has listed as mine into an email to myself. I got that but not the one from the forum. Wonder what's going on over at PAI?
