Updated Approach file for AI flying the Canarsie approach
virtuali:
There was a small problem in the approach.bgl file for the Canarsie approach. Update this file in your FSDreamTeam\JFK\scenery folder, and AI should now fly the Canarsie approach correctly.
Starting from tomorrow, the installer will already include it.

If, by "available here" you are refering to the file posted just above this message, that's NOT an AFCAD! Or, more precisely, it's not a standard AFCAD in the common meaning of the term, it's a partial AFCAD file containing just approaches, and nothing else. This way, regardless of the utility used, one can edit and tweak the main AFCAD without fear to lose the approaches. This is specifically valid if using the old AFCAD program.
The regular AFCAD is named AF2_KJFK.BGL and is installed with the product.
If, instead, by "available here", you are refering to the AFCAD files posted by Harpsi, keep in mind Harpsi it's just an user that likes to post AFCADs for our product, but these are not really part of the product.
--- Quote ---2) What program do you use to build, save, edit your afcad? AFX or Afcad v2...
--- End quote ---
We use the old AFCAD just to place parkings and taxiways, then we decompile only those sections, then we write the rest by hand in XML, that gets compiled by the default MS BGLCOMP compiler.
--- Quote ---3) Did you test this Afcad?
--- End quote ---
Yes, of course.
--- Quote ---4) Can you make another? using afcad v2.
--- End quote ---
I guess so, AFCAD are usually tweaked a lot after product release. We had plenty of them for Zurich and O'Hare
--- Quote ---5) Why does these seem so difficult. KORD works fine with triple the amount of runways?
--- End quote ---
Right now, the top priority is to be sure the program works for everyone, without crashes that, as we have seen, are 99% of the times caused by something else. After the dust is settled, we'll go back to the AFCAD. We had 3 PATCHES for Zurich, and most of the work was, in fact, the AFCAD. And you'll find a lot of AFCAD discussion in the KORD forum as well. Once we find what can be considerable a stable release from all the discussion that comes along in the forum, we usually merge all together in an "official" AFCAD that, even without using all tricks for enabling multiple runways and such, can be used as a good compromise for everyone.
--- Quote ---6) Why does it seem the afcad becomes corrupt when edited.
--- End quote ---
What do you mean with corrupted ? It can't be opened anymore ? It shows up wrong data after being saved ?
--- Quote ---7) Why are airplanes landing on hidden runway 34 way out in the middle of the city, then proceed to take city streets to taxi to the terminal????
--- End quote ---
I can't see this, not with the AFCAD we provide as default.
--- Quote ---9) Can this circle to Land approach be cancel for now and can you send files that just have regular stright in approaches?
--- End quote ---
Of course. As explained on the manual, there are two approach files we provided: one for the Canarsie approach, the other for the regular straight ILS13. Just look at the two sub-folder under JFK\Scenery.
--- Quote ---10) Can you include the default afcad in the next set of down loads?
--- End quote ---
If, by "default" AFCAD you mean our own, instead the one on the forum, it has been always included.
--- Quote ---Since it seems the answers from the owners seem to take awhile can anybody help me out? I will take the default Afcad for now...
--- End quote ---
If by "answers from the owners seem to take awhile" you mean there's not enough support on this forum, can you please make an example of a support forum with a faster response time than this one ? I would be interested, because it is probably manned by robots...
If, instead, by "answers from the owners seem to take awhile", you only mean regarding the AFCAD, I've already said that we usually wait a little bit to see were all the AFCAD discussions leads to, before updating the official one that comes with the product.
P.S.
I removed your other messages, because you posted copies of the same message in all forums. One it's enough...

And he wrote to me directly about all these issues. I already gave my answer as well. Some private phrases were a little bit unpolite...That´s my comment.

Hi Umberto
I am sorry but this new fie didn´t change anything. I have 0 % of aircrafts landing on the runway :(
They fly almost perfect the Kai Tak approach so I believe that´s not really all flight models...

I already posted a list of aircraft which flies the canarsie approach correctly. On my system, it's about 70% of the AI I tested.

--- End quote ---
It's not *only* the flight model, nobody said that. It's a combination of flight model, tweaks to approach file AND (if you followed all the discussions) AFCAD and even frame rate on the machine used.
This doesn't mean the approach file can't be improved, but the dependency of a flight model remains.
