NL2000 AI airplanes disappear

[jorgenandersen]

I have an odd issue - from time to time my NL2000 AI airplanes disappear from my AI flight plans. I can easily get them back by just using the installer to re-install the NL2000 libraries, but it shouldn't be like that, right? Once installed they should stay.

My installation is a little unusual. It's a Windows 8.1 system with 3 hard drives, the main FSX installation is on my F: drive, and I have a lot of photoscenery on the E: drive. Windows and everything else is of course on C:.

Can anyone explain why this happens? I can read Dutch (with difficulty), and I cannot see any threads where this has happened.

Thanks in advance -

Hi Jorgen

Did you also install WOAI aircrafts and traffic?
And when you change the settings to : disable : aircraft casts shadow on the ground, is it disappearing too ?

I have some WOAI flight plans and aircraft, but am not sure that it was when I installed those that the NL2000 aircraft "disappeared". The NL2000 flight plans were still there.

I have not tried the "cast shadow" fix, but I can certainly do that.

Occassionally I have this same phenomena and use the following solution:

Set all your sliders and settings as described in the NL2000 manual and save this configuration.
When AI planes disappear, simply reload the saved configuration and everythings is normal again.

It does not solve the root cause, but it solves the problem anyway.
Hope this suggestion helpes, so no need to reinstall NL2000 stuff.

I think I have solved the problem.

The tool that I used to look for missing aircraft, ACA_2013, is the problem.

I first started to suspect that when I noticed several default aircraft that are present in FSX were shown as not present by this tool, so I got AI Flight Planner v. 2.2 and it shows the aircraft present in the flight plan.
