Hi Peter,

A quick question. The Traffic_Trident3BEA.bgl.dis and Traffic_Trident3BAOriginal.bgl.dis have a non dis file in the zip too. i.e. there appears to be one dis and one non dis version of both of these files. Are they the same file or are they different.

I will look into that Ben...I suspect an error on my part...in that batch there should be only one active file and that one will be the livery of my traffic Trident that operates between McLeland Field and Seattle. I will correct that by deleting the extra active file. it probably occurred when I was copying them over from FS9 to P3D!

Your modified files work just fine Ben...In fact one of them works now when it did not before! I did as you suggested and took all the FS9 files back out and into their own folder for safe keeping and then I extracted your Zip into where they had been and started it up...Bingo! all that worked before was working and in addition all the Cessnas at Turf Green appeared :welldone:

Although I have not seen the cruise ships move yet the tourist boat Clione did its circuit very nicely. The day of the week batch file does switch the duty cruise ships automatically and I will wait for the time that they should move and check that they do.

I do not have floatplanes working yet but I believe I need to alter the AFCAD files on my water airport, PAMF, for those to work, but I have not yet studied the method.

Thank you again Ben for your work on the files, Ben, you have been very helpful :)

That's great news Peter, glad to here all is well at McLeland field :thumbsup:

The Credit really goes to Don Grovestine for his fantastic AIFP, this is the tool I use for all my flight plans and it has a utility to convert from FS9 to FSX just by pointing at the folder with the BGL's in. :cpu:

I've been using AIFP since Ben recommended it a while back. I'm not sure if I thanked you, Ben, for the HU. The slick conversion tool is particularly useful if you want to use any World of AI traffic in FSX/P3D because WoAI flight plans are still in FS9 format and an unconverted one of those in one of the other sims will cause the disappearance of all your other AI.

Don Grovestine lives in BC, Canada and has put his skills to other uses. He has created several very nice airports in the area and populated them with a ready made AI package to bring them alive. Great stuff for us ORBX PNW people as he's made them to blend in with the scenery. What a nice man!
