AI don't taxi....

[gypsymoth]

I've installed this nice airport (LA ROCHELLE - ILE DE RE v2.0 Pour FS9 from here) & have made up a small fleet of AI to use it.

Taxiway:(Blank) shouldn't cause the problem.

A common reason for this behavior is 'broken' taxi routes, i.e., the parking spot is not connected to the departure runway.

In AFX, run the Fault Finder (in the Tools menu). It should tell you if there are any unconnected links or other problems.

Edit: downloaded '1LFBH_La_Rochellev2FS9.zip'. If that's the same file: The Afcad (AF2_LFBH,bgl) is a total wreck. Few, if any, of the parking spots are connected, and there are dozens of other errors and omissions that will keep ai from departing.

Thanks Dave - pity as it"s a nice looking airport.......
Many thanks for your trouble!

Hi,

If you want to try salvaging it, load the file into AFCAD and choose Tools/Fault Finder.

Yes, well, I've been experimenting with it since yesterday when Dave replied but as a beginner it's a bit hit & miss.   I must say that I'm deeply unimpressed that it's so bad & yet part of a nice airport .........

Gypsymoth,

If you like, over the weekend I can fix the afcad so that ai can use LFBH and e-mail the file to you.

If you can I'll owe you a bottle of Wild Turkey 

I've been playing all morning in my learning mode....but I have to keep reading the tutorial every 2 mins as I realised I didn't do the right thing.  After 4 hrs (shhhh!) I gave up & emailed one of the blokes on the readme.  He's just replied that he knows it doesn't work & SORRY but he doesn't know how to fix it.

It will be great if you can fix it but in your own time as & when.  I can wait.  I'm going to go on to make flight plans for all my tropical islands now I know how to do that

Thanks for sending the repaired afcad Dave.  It works a treat.
They all t/o & land beautifully..........
Terry.
