FSDT Chicago O'Hare, JFK and MyTrafficX 5.2
« on: October 18, 2008, 09:02:42 pm »
I just wanted to alert DreamTeam users to potential problems with the KORD and KJFK products if you have MyTrafficX 5.2 installed.  I recently upgraded MyTrafficX to version 5.2 and started seeing double runways/taxiways. For instance, Runway 9R at KORD also had the number 10 superimposed over the runway and several additional runway lines. Frame rates were drastically low too and in the single digits. I checked my scenery.cfg for double entries and looked in the ADDON folder for duplicate airports but found none.  I then recalled MyTrafficX installs AFCADS for their AI aircraft.  To fix this problem, I simply renamed the MyTraffic AFCAD's to BR2_KORD.old and BR2_KJFK.old.  I just hope now MyTraffic AI will be able to properly takeoff and land at KORD and KJFK.  I hope this helps others who might encounter this problem.

Best regards,
Jim

Mr. Burkhard Renk has always recommended that users will need to go into the MyTraffic folder and remove/rename the AFCAD files (BR2*KORD.bgl and BR2*KJFK.bgl) so that they don't conflict with add-on sceneries (like KORD's / KJFK's) installed/default ones.

Good Luck!

Thank you very much.

Yes, this has been already discussed here:

The AFCAD files included with a Traffic package are usually always based on default airports, just with better airlines assignments and more parking slots.

But, since a 3rd party addon scenery usually comes with its own AFCAD, is always best to use that one. MyTraffic or other AI models shouldn't have any problem using that one instead.
