Interesting. I did not know that. Maybe they take more of a northerly route and come down the atlantic routes offshore of the US but that would require alot more fuel burn. The BA flight is a Gatwick to Kingston flight which lasts around 9 hrs so I doubt they use any route other than the norm The s...

NO - don't touch that one!!!

If you cannot find Scenery.dat - you have it hidden. Don't worry, but it may take several cold shutdowns of FS and your computer and restarts before all the changes take place.

Also do not start FS at TNCM from a saved flight before the change.

I don't know the settings in Henry's current AI Twotter - but the one I first installed when it first came out took 2,700 feet to rollout and stop.

I upped the toe brake scalar to 1.25 to get to stopped faster.

Some folks have stated that the Henry T BN-2A lands correctly at St Barts.

They have replaced their Caravan and Twin Otter AI with the Islander FDE.

Remember that the contact points and lights sections have to match the model - not the FD setup.

You can close a runway on only one end in FS2004 - there are at least three default runway setup this way in FS2004 we have found so far. They are: EDDF: Rwy 08R Rwy 36 EGLL: Rwy 05 There two requirements for this to work. 1. Mark the AFCAD file for Rwy 27 at TNCM closed for landing and takeoff both...

I want to get back down there so bad.

The US Navy sent me to live on Antigua for four years - Feb 79 - Oct 82.

Got over to St Barts and St Maarten a few times.

I have a different wife now, and I can tell from the way she looks at some of the pictures we have - I better get to working on that trip.

That tells me the problem is within Ultimate Traffic, and NOT related to the scenery. Have you created Assignments in Ultimate Traffic for all the airports in the flight schedule of the airline? There are a lot of small airports in UT which are under their IATA code, but with no airport assigned to...

I notice that heavy traffic is somewhat light at TNCM. Certainly as compared to Seattle - TNCM is really a small city airport - which happens to be located in a resort / vacation destination. Seattle sees almost 29 million passengers a year - The latest numbers I can find are about 1.5 million pass...
