i mean does this affect FS ATC freq?

Well. I don´t use the ATC from FS. I just fly online. BUt anyway those are the right frequencies for all Zurich area.

Thank you for the update. It seems to become much better. What I don't like is,that I still have all the heavy Swiss Traffic (A330 and A340) standing on Terminal 1 and Gates C and D.
Swiss heavies must stand on Dock E Midfield. If this could be modified, it would be great.
Thanks for the good work.
Best Regards
Patrick

Hi

It is possible of course, but I don´t think you can have all heavies at dock E. For example at this moment I have the simulator opened and there are 8 swiss heavies at the airport. Probably more will come because some of them coming from americas and so on, will arrive in the morning. There are only 10 gates where the 330 and 340 can park at terminal E, and of course I am not counting all the other big jets from other airlines. Maybe it is too little... Some of them will go to gate G and to the gate B as well (B31-39).

But it is done. Here it is. Try and make comments please.

Hello
great work with the afcad, :)
 just wondering, the ATC doesnt recognize the new IZW ils rwy 28, its still "visual approach" is it possible to make the ATC (the default fs9 atc) to recognize it ?

Good question. I don´t use FS ATC so I don´t know how to do that. Anyway, maybe because of the fact that it doesn´t come with the stock file it is difficult to have it in that way. I accept suggestions from everybody.

I had the same probleme on the LFSB scenery, we have here now a new ILS on RWY 34 but it's not recognized by FS9 ATC services.
French friends told me that you must also edit an .xml file into FS9 (don't know where) to make it useful into FS9.

If somebody has more informations...

Best regards.

Well. If this work upgrades to an xml file, then I don´t know how to solve it. Jim Vile at the projectAI foruns is the specialist for that kind of things.

Anyway, maybe it is not important to be worried about one runway that is almost never used. This afcad is prepared to be used with runways 14, 16 and 28 during 99 % of the time. It will be very unlucky if you have the winds in some way that obligates you to use 10, 32 and 34.

But I didn´t understand: do you have this problem with Zurich or just Basel?

I'm experiencing "floating AI planes" using this latest AFCAD you uploaded.

AI planes land just fine, but they appear to be floating 5-10 metres above the ground.

Also, there appears to be two runway textures showing on RWY 14.

Any ideas?

Double afcads? Another scenery installed or mesh in that area?

Hello harpsi,

thank you very much for your work on the AFCAD!
Landed with winds 330/6 and FS9-ATC directed me to RWY16/14. I don´t know how you managed that but this is really nice  :).

With the new Com-frequencies the ATIS is unavaiable on my system. I modified the AFCAD "ZURICH ATIS" to "LSZH" (I think for the ATIS it has to be that way), but this did not solve the problem.  :-\
How does this work for other users of the AFCAD file?

Regards
Hans-Christian

Well, about the winds question it is easy. If you know something about the star system, you have two ways to build it which is something about the order of the runways:
- if you write 10/28, 14/32 and 16/34, then AIs will use 10/14/16 or 28/32/34; ok, both combinations we don´t want them
- if you write then 14/32, 16/34 and then 28/10 instead of 10/28, then AIs will use: 14/16/28 or 32/34/10; the first combination is really nice, and the second combination we don´t want it; but since you have 14, 16 and 28 in use, you will have a lot of winds possible: with 330, AIs will choose 28, so then 14 and 16s well; winds 90 for example AIs will choose 14, so, 16 and 28 as well

About the second question of the ATIS, well, I don´t have any problem th AIs. They land, they takeoff and so on. Maybe you are talking about your own aircraft. Well, I didn´t try because I don´t use FS9 ATC, but anyway, if it is a name´s problem and it can not be solved, well, I must wait for ideas like you as well. :)

If you want to hear ATIS messages:
- LSZH instead of ZURICH ATIS, you're right, Hans-Christian;
- frequency should be 128.525 as it was initially instead of 128.520.

I copied it from the vacc_sac website.They have 128.520 and not 128.525. Anyway here is a new one with all ZURICH words changed to LSZH as well as some minor changes. :)

When I say that it should be 128.525 (even if it's wrong) I mean it's the only way to have the ATIS for those who don't fly on-line and who (like me) don't know how to change the FS default frequencies. If somebody is smart enough to do it please, please, please... that would be great.
