In your post you have this
"Since there have been no adverse comments for some time, I have just renamed Development Release 3.2.10(k) to General Release 3.2.11 and posted it.
It should be detected automatically the next time you run AIFP, or you can obtain it directly from http://stuff4fs.com."
1. How can anyone post any adverse comments when that post is closed to comments?
2. The very first post in the thread " Introducing Release 3.3.1.0 (for PV5 Compatibility)" points to a long dead link to download at shaw.ca. Only after going thru a number of pages of comments does one come across the stuff4fs site link. It would be great if that 1st post were altered to always point to the latest version or at least the page where the version can be downloaded.
I have tested this program and have come across a number of bugs that pop up errors with no reason behind them. Especially some errors occur only in some circumstances and not in others.
I started documenting these but gave up as the errors are so inconsistent and so frequent. Let me illustrate this with a couple of errors I started to document.
v3.3.1.6
Clean Install - delete all old files and copy across all new.
Open AIFP - it finds my \Scenery\World\Traffic_xxx.bgl as the correct compiled path
From Menu
Bulk Traffic> Traffic and Parking Analyser
Notice window is NOT fullscreen
Try and resize by pulling bottom right corner and bang!
Aircraft & Airport columns become very narrow
From Traffic and Parking Analyser menu
Traffic Files-> Select Traffic Files
Window opens with a tree view. Navigate and select my \Scenery\World\scenery folder, tick Save as Default Search and click “Use Selected/Checked” button.
…Extracting Airports and aircraft from traffic files window opens with “Abort” as an option button.
Taking a long time so I click Abort and close the Traffic and Parking Analyser window and back to main AIFP window.
All lists still blank so I repeat above - Bulk Traffic> Traffic and Parking Analyser
BUG1: ERROR!!!! Why?
I also notice this same error happens in a number of other places as well.
So I click OK and the window disappears.
Sometimes but NOT always I also get a .net List box exception when I click OK.
Select this option [Bulk Traffic> Traffic and Parking Analyser]from the menu again [repeat the same] and no error!!
So from the tree view I Select the World\scenery folder and let it do its complete analysis without clicking "abort":
So the analysis took some time and returned the window above.
Sometimes, but not always the Analysis returns without resizing the Aircraft & Airport columns. If I resize the window then the columns resize.
Anyway after analysis...
Now as I click each Traffic file in the list at the left I get :
That small window – Preparing airport and aircraft for display. This happens FOR EACH BGL I CLICK in the list. This is simply a waste of time as the initial selection of the traffic folder does the SAME THING for ALL the BGL’s which is why it takes so long. So this data is not saved anywhere because when I select a single BGL in the list at left the same thing happens for that single file that has already happened for ALL the files found.
Since the program has already analysed all the BGL’s it should store the results and simply filter the display based on the first list selection. This is a bug that should be fixed.
Also the analysis returns with some Aircraft in the aircraft list in RED to signify that these Aircraft are not installed. The only option is to Print/save to txt this list of RED a/c. If we are allowed to recompile the traffix BGL's why can I not RT. click or select all red a/c and remove them from the list and recompile ? This would be the most logical approach since we don't need a/c in the list that are not installed as they cannot be shown anyway. The same thing happens with other analysis where the only option is to print/save instead of allowing a correction like when multiple a/c occupy the same bays or the departure of multiple a/c coincide. There is no point in analysis if nothing other than printing can be done although a recompile option is provided!
There are other bugs as well and I can go thru them and document them if it helps in any way.
Cheers.
