Could I please get a link to this? When I installed traffic X it looks as if it's added a new afcad.... So I'm gonna need this to fix the problem.
Thanks,

FSX Airport Scanner, from this site:

Thanks for the link! :) However... There is not multiple afcad for DFW found.... the jetways are in the wrong planes and I start in the wrong parking position.... any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
TPG
-
If the jetways and parking positions are wrong, it can only means there's another ACAD in conflict. Sorry, the program must have missed it, but there's just no other explanation for it.
-
Well I had show all Active scenery ares, and KDFW didn't show up in the list...any suggestions?
-
If you are refering to an option in the FSX Airport Scanner, you better ask the program author, we never used it, we only know that it supposed to find duplicates AFCADs, and it usually works. There's a discussion board about it on fsdeveloper.com
-
ok Now I have noticed that the jetways aren't the ones that are custom designed by FSDT... and I've checked the file with the afcads myself and there is no KDFW file... However the afcad in the FSDT file is fine... could the jetway model problem also be an afcad problem...
-
It's just normal that you would see a different jetway model (probably the default one) in the wrong AFCAD, this just confirms even more, it's a duplicate AFCAD which was made for the default KDFW, calling the default jetway models.
-
That's disappointing... I guess I can't use Traffic X with this... time to get a new traffic program. :) Thanks anyways.

You can use your traffic program without any issues, the only thing you need to do, is to remove the AFCAD for KDFW that comes with it.

I am having this same problem. When I spawn in at a gate, it puts me and the AI in the wrong position.

If the AFCAD is the correct solution, how do you fix it. I don't know where to go to find these (or even what they are) files.

The solution was already provided in my first post: use the FSX Airport Scanner, from this site:
http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/
to look for duplicates .BGLs for a certain airport, and remove all related to KDFW, except the one in the fsdreamteam folder, and the MS default in the main Scenery folder, of course.

I don't see anything called scanner on that site. There is his scenery and ADE. Should I use the ADE and the scanner is a component of that?

Following the ADE links, there's a link to a Download Center, the FSX Airport Scanner is there.

Done. It didn't find any duplicates.

I'm sorry, but you must have made some kind of mistake using it, or there might be a problem with your FSX registry keys, so the Airport Scanner can't find your correct FSX folder (I'm just guessing) but I can only confirm that misplaced AI can only be caused by a duplicate AFCAD coming from something else, which you have to find.
Also, I assume you have KDFW on the top of the Scenery Library, which is where the installer puts it by default. If you moved it, there might be problems like this, which are caused by another AFCAD anyway.
Further evidence it's another AFCAD, is that you also have default jetways models showing (other than being misplaced, they are not our model), and jetways comes with the AFCAD .BGL.
-
Oh, I agree. There is definitely another airport under there. It has to be the default because this is clean install just a few days old. There is no other scenery in the system.

If you have the KDFW scenery on top of the Scenery Library, which is where the installer automatically puts it, then no, the default scenery can't create such problem, because the AFCAD that comes with KDFW is made to properly exclude the default AFCAD for the default KDFW.
This problem can only be caused by another AFCAD, coming from another product, which was made by modifying the default scenery, which is why you see default jetways in the wrong position.
OR, it's be possible you modified (or installed some modifications) for the default KDFW AFCAD and save it back with the same name ? Then yes, in this case, there might be such problem, because if default parking positions, and especially jetways, are moved from the default position, our AFCAD can't exclude them anymore, which is the same as having another AFCAD in conflict. In this case, you'll have to restore the original default AFCAD for KDFW.

When I went to check the priority, there was a traffic X file above DFW. I unchecked it and all seems right with the world. The traffic X file was installed after DFW so that seem to be where the problem was. Thanks for the help.
