Can't see any AI traffic at TNCM

Post by Chris Catalano » Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:09 pm

What am I doing wrong? No matter WHAT I do, I see no AI traffic at TNCM. I even installed World of AI packages, and still nothing. The only thing I seem to get is 2 2 American Connection planes at night. I am using Ultimate Traffic. I was hoping to boot up TNCM and see lots of jets, but I don't even see a single heavy. I see tham in the screen shots, but not when I boot the airport. I even deleted any competing AFCAD files. Is this normal for the Fly Tampa airport?

Thanks,

Chris Catalano

The VFR France package - is that a free download, or is it the package that comes with the VFR France addon payware package? If it is a downloadable package, where do you get it?

Thanks,

I guess jorgehmosteiro is talking about the Saint-Martin FranceVFR package which is a scenery addon including AI trafic for TNCM, TFFG and TFFJ airports.

Chris, you say you have Ultimate traffic? When was the last time it was updated with a current schedule pack?

Just as an FYI - I run UT with an older schedule and see traffic fine.

One thing to remember is there appears (with that older schedule) not to be a lot of heavy iron traffic. I count only 13 jets a day MAX - that is generous since nine of those do not fly daily - only certiain days (some as few as once weekly).

If you use UT - try the Timetable function by departure airport - then visit the field roughly 15 minutes before a scheduled departure (make sure day is correct if that flight is not daily). Works fine for me.

Yeah I am not sure how many heavy jets actually fly to TNCM. On my system the biggest are the AF A340 and the KLM 747. The rest are 757-level or below. Lots of little "puddle jumpers" running commuter flights around the islands.

I use UT's latest schedule pack, and although I use custom flightplans for many smaller and obscure airlines, the big operations are all UT- so my FPs are a little out of date.
