Little to no Float AI in P3Dv4 (resolved)
« on: January 15, 2019, 05:59:22 PM »
Okay so running P3Dv4.4. Used the greatly detailed "how to" to install TongassX into P3Dv4. I used the method of not having FSX. Doing it that way I dont get a Control Panel...maybe not a biggy.

So the Scenery works, no CTDs, Saw the Dash 7 depart from PAKW, I see boats moving...the only thing I really dont see is a lot of float plane action. I modified the Twin Otter and turbine Otter and saw no mention to do anything to the Beaver. So I use little nav map and really see no ai float planes. I did get one Beaver at 63A to depart but it just circles and lands shortly after.

Its been years since flying Misty, Tongass and Glacier but I could of swore there was plenty of float planes both at docks and enroute. I tried doing a flight and tuning into 122.9 but heard no AI float planes.

Any thoughts on what it might be?

Beaver is already an FSX model so didn't need to be converted.   I randomly jumped to PASI at 1000 Local time and used the Views, Change View and Air Traffic drop downs to quickly identify 8 floats under AI control at that point.....only 2 were in the air at that moment. 

My General Aviation Traffic is  set at 10%.   What AI traffic do you see with those settings in the Air Traffic drop down?

Just the one private one that I saw at 63A. N54691 going from HYG to AGN. No Twin Otters or Otters or Turbines just that one as a float. Plenty of boat traffic. My GA traffic is set to 100%

Figured it out. All the other planes are commercial. I had commercial traffic set at 0 because I use UTL and have that for my commercial planes. Turning up the commercial traffic gave me all the planes back.
