No acft at Andrews

I loaded MAIW ANG aircraft from around the country successfully, except I have no F-16's or the PAI Presidential acft showing at Andrews AFB. My FS9/addon scenery/scenery has several KADW bgl files - AF2_ KADW(9kb), MAIW _AF2_ KADW_default(45kb). Should I delete the 9kb file and force FS9 to use the larger 45kb file?

Yes, just use the MAIW provided AFCAD and delete the other one.  ;)

That didn't fix it. Still zero acft at Andrews - KADW. Martin Field in Balt has A-10 & C-130 on the ramp, Richmond has F-16's on the ramp. Zero at ADW. Downloaded from the same package.

MAIW has a package just for Andrews. Have you installed this yet?

Also check and make sure your traffic slider is not set at zero.

If you have Afcad, simply open up KADW and look for the modified file. Check to ensure (1) parking is in place, and (2) run the error check tool to see if any links, etc. are not set right.

Another thing (and this happened to me recently), check all of your addon scenery folders to make sure a duplicate-named .bgl doesn't exist somewhere else - or else try doing a search for other similarly-named files.

Still no acft. Parking allocated.....error check tool showed nothing wrong. BTW - I have acft at Andrews in FSX but my machine doesn't have enough memory to really use it. I'm stuck with FS9. Any more ideas???

Have you seen these same AI planes at any other airports in FS9? Maybe try a test with backing up these flightplans, then modifying the functioning flightplan to use traffic that works at other airports (e.g., substitute the intended aircraft for a PAI United A320, or a default Cessna C172). Another way would be to take existing flightplans from another package that does work (once again back them up first) and change some of the arrival or departure locations to KADW. If no aircraft show up after attempting this then the problem is with the airport somehow.

(p.s. - I have the KADW package and the aircraft appear in FS2004)
