• 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.

FSX AI traffic disappearing after 5 minutes

Same question here! A friend told me if I follow the ai in an inset window it will disappear in awhilw. I tried followoing an ai in slew mode, stayinig behind it but in view. same thing happened.

How can I adjust the AI traffic disappearing time from 5 minutes to a longer time?

It is hardcoded in AIPlayer.dll.
Have a look:

A fix for 5-minute AI timeout limit for FSX SP2 (finally)

Hi all, My first post; I usually just look around and download stuff, but have found something worth sharing -- a fix for disappearing AI aircraft when they remain stationary for more than 5 minutes. AITP-X has already been released, and that's good for FSX SP1, but not SP2, as many will...

Pretty involved to try to fix, I guess, I only wish we could see ai landing and taxiing to parking. AND, follow them in flight to ai destination. also- hahaha very annoying... Set up parking with proper radius, coded for the specific ai, and it quite often appears somewhere else to park instead of where yo told it to park! sheesh!
 
Thank you for your reply (A fix for 5-min AI timeout). I did all you said to do, but when I went to line 000011B0 I did not see the "72" to change to "8F".
Possible the "72" should be in HEX format, but it is a perfectly good Hex number. I started in computers in the 1960's and then all we knew was hexadecimal format.
Thank you again for your reply.

Thank you for your reply, I use FSX and did decompose ai_player.dll as stated in the instructions. Then I checked the left most column of the HxD output, but only found line 00 00 11 b0 . The line looked like this :
00 00 00 00 40 6F 40 00 00 00 00 00 69 40 08 11 00 00.
This is where I am lost. Any help would be welcome.

out of ideas...
 
Thank you for your informative reply. The line that looks like your one is on my computer line 0000F0

So I will do the unthinkable and modify my file. After all I do have a backup.
I will let you know what happens.

As an aside I have travelled in Germany extensively and so I am curious about your "Greetings from Bavaria" if you do not mind.

Your idea WORKED. I changed the value to 8F, then lined up 4 airplanes at ESSA runway 26 to takeoff on 2minutes intervals. No plane disappeared, they all waited their turn before taking off.
I need to do more testing at other airports (most likely KSEA).
Thank you for your suggestion.

My system is Windows 10 , AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.60 GHz.
I followed hgschnell instructions with one exception, that is the line where to find the entry. My line was different than his. But trusting hgschnell (he must be a Genius.) I made the change in AF_Player and it works great. Went to ESSA Runway 26, lined up 5 airplanes for takeoff and watched them take off one by one with none disappearing.
I suggest you do the same and see what happens. By the way I made 3 backups of AI_Player on 3 different external devices.

I am running FSXse and I have found 2 entries in my AIPLAYER.DLL that have the code "C0 72 40". I changed the 72 in both entries to read 8f and now my AI traffic holds for ~16 minutes before spawning off.
