• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AI Aircraft AFCAD Problem

Hello
I need some advice, because I am desperate.
And although I have an airport with ADE created a Sea Base, so far that has worked well! Airport Compilert everything without problems, then loaded into the sim and airport my AI fliers are displayed on the parking positions. Also, I see fliers in the air, which shows that my AI flight plan works! But what does not work at all is that the AI fliers leave the parking position the stay just stand and disappear. Do not understand that, I have to adjust something there that the airmen get the clearance for the taxi ??

This is usually due to there not being a hold-short node in the taxi-path to the active runway.

Hello Thanks for the answer, but I have inserted Hold Short.
Here's a screenshot of the AFCAD.
It's a water airpot I created.

Best, I can't tell much from a screenshot. We'd need your ad4 file to diagnose with certainty. But, for what it's worth, I don't see a runway link. Your taxiways seem to be connected to the edge of the runway. They should be connected to a runway link.

OK, I can see there are hold-short points.

I'm no expert on water airports, but will a runway width of 0 work? Also, your runway link is segmented, i.e., there are multiple, sequential links. This may or may not be a problem. You don't have runways start points and finally, you have declared two runways, but only one is visible and linked. Has, perhaps, Flightsim made the invisible runway "active".

If none of these issues leads you to a solution, someone else more familiar with \water airports will have to jump in.

-You have two separate runways! ;
- the (default?) 01W /19W is still there;
- your runway center line is not on any runway;
- your water runway name does not coincide with the water runway name (it says that the center runway link is REASTW???);
- and some more things that do not look right.
 
Hello Robbystar

When I create the water runway I have the runway Eastw and Westw. But when I put the runway link I get this 2 lane. But I have to set a runway link or not? Here's a new try!

PS: I think I have found the mistake ......

I use always concrete 0 M for taxiway and runway,and no water runway.
Make your hold short no draw.
Make more exits or the airplane must taxi a long way.
And what Roby say remove runway 01/19 ,if you can't find it use the fault finder and set a start and remove than the runway.

Hello Jan

Do you also use for the taxiways concrete I understood that correctly? How would an airport look like you could give me an example please? With a parking + taxiway and runway as red thread.
The 01/19 I have removed but it still still does not work.
 
Hello Robystar
Thanks for the file but I can not download it !! I tried it with 2 different browsers.

Here is another attempt also this has not worked again. In the picture you can see the plane and also with running engines. But they just do not move.

Your parking has to be a dock.
Left click on the attachment and a window should show up where it says 'save as'.

Hi Robystar
So if I want to save, only a black window, see screenshot.
So the parking spots have to be docks then it would work.

You have to save it to your desktop or wherever you want it to and open it with ADE and not with your paint program.
I think it should work when you make the parking spots 'docks' but I have not tried it yet.
Usually I make the taxi links and the runway 1ft wide (they will ot have any texture at that size).
 
OK
Die Ersparnis hat funktioniert.
Aber auch das Auswechseln der Parklücken brachte keine Lösung, jetzt lassen die KI-Piloten die Motoren nicht mehr an.
Also werde ich bald aufgeben, das kann nicht wahr sein.
 
Vielleicht hat es damit zu tun dass deine Airport altitude in ADE -.046 m aufweist und die Links überhaupt keine Breite haben?
Sorge auf dafür dass dein Flugplan richtig ist und die Destination auch ein richtiger Wasser airport hat.
Ich habe in P3D keine AI Wasserflugzeuge. Daher kann ich es auch nicht ausprobieren.
