aquince Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am working the LAX sector, departures only at a medium rate (just getting my feet wet). All departures from LAX go as expected, but every time I get a departure from one of the secondary airports in the sector (SMO, TOA, etc.) the pilot will contact me, and the data block for the flight will indicate a climb to the tower-assigned initial altitude, but the icon doesn't move away from the airport and the data block indicates 0 knots for the speed. I've only seen 5 or 6 departures from airports other than LAX so far, but the same thing happens every time, without exception. Any ideas? Thanks!

aquince Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I tried to attach the zipped Game.log, but it is 118kb, too big to upload - other options? There are two planes that showed the behavior, N337DD and N521BW, departing from SMO and TOA, respectively. Note, only GA aircraft have ever departed from the secondary airports when I've played, and the only GA airplanes have come from the secondary airports, so this could be an issue with GA flights rather than the airports. Please see my details below: your Operating system including 32 or 64 bit and the language - Windows 8.1, 64 bit system memory - 16GB video card and it's memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 did you install openAL - yes did you install Speech and set it up as it described in the manual - yes if you report gameplay problems or possible conflicts please make sure to attach the tower.log file from the main Tower! 2011 folder - this is in Tracon 2012, so I believe the game.log file is the correct one, please let me know if I should be looking for something different Note, I also have installed Real Traffic for Tracon 2012 Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I started a new game and got a GA aircraft coming out of TOA early in the game. However, zipped it is still 21kb and won't upload. I can get it down to 16kb as a .zipx file, that type is apparently not uploadable. I am open to suggestions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707FAN Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Aquince I has this problem some time ago. I think I fixed it by noting the type of aircraft that was causing the problem. Go into the airplanes.txt file in databases folder and make sure they are in the list of aircraft and note their codes in that file. Open the "plane Ed" in the Airplanes folder and load the aircraft .apx file into it. Check that there is info in the "Close to ALT 0 feet (tower) section. Also add some figures to the close to 12000feet (tracon) area. This may not be needed but it can't do any harm. Kev M Brisbane Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 ... zipped it is still 21kb and won't upload. I can get it down to 16kb as a .zipx file, that type is apparently not uploadable. delete the file from the feelThere folder. start the game. play (attempt to play). now you will have a small file to upload.

aquince Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 delete the file from the feelThere folder. start the game. play (attempt to play). now you will have a small file to upload. That's actually what I did when I got the 21kb file. I'll try it again tonight, maybe I'll get one of the GA flights earlier before the log file gets too big.

aquince Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Okay, here is the log file showing a GA aircraft coming out of TOA. The speed shows 0 or single digits and never changes. The plane does respond and will climb to the assigned altitude, but doesn't move from the airport. Thanks for the help! game.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that all of the GA planes popping up are type TRP, which I don't recognize from the real world and doesn't appear to be represented in the airplanes.txt file or an option to loan in the plane editor. Not sure where to go with it from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 One additional thing I noticed tonight while playing - all of the flights in question show "Ga" as the SID. I had assumed this simply referred to a general aviation flight that was not following a SID, but I thought I'd mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707FAN Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Aquince Did you sort this problem out? I think you need to look at the odd ball aircraft types that turn up in the schedule and are not in the aircraft.txt files and add performance charateristics to get them to work. I have tried to incorporate various business jets and other types into my schedules but it becomes too hard to get performance details etc. Kev M Brisbane Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 No, still no response on the issue. I'm hoping to hear something from scoobflight - I'm not really set up to make adjustments to the game without guidance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's been a couple of weeks, so I'm just checking in to see if there's been any progress on the review of my issue. The issue makes the sim pretty much unplayable when working departures. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 We've seen some issues with the GA departures in the past but since the latest patch it went away. When did you purchase the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelThere_Vic Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 You should have the latest version then. Is it happening at each sector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I have only worked the LAX sector to this point, but I will try the others tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Worked the MIA and LAS sectors tonight. I did not have the same issues on either of these sectors, but none of the aircraft types were TRP like I see in the LAX sector (mostly AN6 and AN24s).

FeelThere_Vic Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Please confirm you see TRP and AN24 in the same sector. It seems like one of them is the default airplane type and the other is Nyerges Design real traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquince Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 TRP appears only in the LAX sector, and is the only GA aircraft type I've seen in the LAX sector. I saw AN6 and AN24 in both MIA and LAS, but not in LAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fracasado Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hello Aquince, I remember having had frozen or extremely slow moving aircraft some time ago. In my cases the log showed no particular error message but the aircraft speed logged was in the range between 0 and 5 knots only. In 707FAN's post above Kev M indicates that the problem might be related to the files airplanes.txt (as it is named with my installation of Tracon) and to the file schedule.txt I think you need to look at the odd ball aircraft types that turn up in the schedule and are not in the aircraft.txt files I do agree with his suggestion. I could solve my problems by checking that every aircraft type used in schedule has an corresponding entry in airplanes database. I did detect aircraft types in schedule which were not listed in airplanes.txt. Correction was easy: You may use a text editor and modify the aircraft type given in schedule.txt to a valid aircraft type from airplanes.txt. Remember to backup your files before modifying them.
