Have tried all the suggestions posted as well as full uninstalls and registry cleanups.  Still no aircraft at any airports I've downloaded from flightsim.to.

What kind of user are you? With or without a RT license?

Without a license you have the airports that are in the archive of week 1. See the list what they are.

See the Log: you do not have a license. 

Fill in your license first.

Still have no airports in the archive folder and 4 of my third party airports are in the TBLO folder

Ok...

I do not have a license.  I guess I completely missed where static aircraft only show up at default airports unless you purchase RT...is this correct?

I was under the impression that static planes showed up at all airports with our without the RT license.

Even tried running it through PSXTTraffic alongside the real traffic application and that version also has no third party airports in the archive folder

There has to be some sort of backend problem with the archive.zip that psxt downloads because it says its downloading thousands of files then nothing is found in the archive folder other then stock airports

Why don't you post the relevant section of the file in PSXT\output\info\AirportsScanLog.txt for the airport you are looking to populate.

Also, post your parameters.xml file, as there might be a misconfiguration somewhere.

I would suggest you too post your parameters.xml file. I have not had an issue with the archives.zip being empty after installation. Have you tried a full uninstall, deleting the PSXT folder as well as the parameters.xml file and then reinstalling?

It is entirely possible that since only one week is shown in the archive if you don't have an RT license, that the archive that is downloaded is only reflective of the airports that were present in the dataset on that week.

For example, the following airport shows up as not found in your archive, but it's found in mine:

Try find publisher in: C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\aerosoft-paderborn\scenery\EDLP\scenery\EDLP_Placement.bgl
publisher "Aerosoft" found
thirdparty EDLP linked to airports\archive\thirdparty\Aerosoft\EDLP.xml

 

However, for the vast majority (actually all of the ones you included that I also have), the following airports don't exist in the archive (these are only a few - I looked at many more in your list and they didn't show up either, likely because they're too small). Make sure that you have Park Fake checked for those airport that are ultra small or obscure:

EIDL

BIIS

Thanks for your reply.  I appreciate the information, however, I'm still rather confused. 

Are you saying that I need to keep using the program so that it can "learn" the airports?  I've visited 50+ of my 300 or so 3rd party sceneries and the only ones with static traffic are the Asobo ones. Or are you saying that I need to purchase a RT license in order for static aircraft to display at 3rd party sceneries?  The only reason I'm giving this program a try is to better populate static planes in the correct parking spots (which AIG doesn't accomplish).

Can someone explain what the following means:

===> EGPD has 66 parkpos while archived one has 0

I understand that the "archive" doesn't have a .xml for EGPD...but what does "Generated EGPD.xml: 66 positions" mean?  Does this mean that PSXT has learned the airport and now static aircraft should show up?  If so...none are showing up in the sim.

Thanks for your reply.  I appreciate the information, however, I'm still rather confused. 

Are you saying that I need to keep using the program so that it can "learn" the airports?  I've visited 50+ of my 300 or so 3rd party sceneries and the only ones with static traffic are the Asobo ones. Or are you saying that I need to purchase a RT license in order for static aircraft to display at 3rd party sceneries?  The only reason I'm giving this program a try is to better populate static planes in the correct parking spots (which AIG doesn't accomplish).

Can someone explain what the following means:

Try find publisher in: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\egpd-dyce\scenery\world\scenery\egpd-airport.bgl
Searching for the manifest file ... 
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\egpd-dyce\manifest.json found
from manifest.json creator "scotflight" => publisher "scotflight"

airports\archive\thirdparty\scotflight folder does not exist

===> EGPD has 66 parkpos while archived one has 0
Generated EGPD.xml: 66 positions, of which 1 helipad
 

 

I understand that the "archive" doesn't have a .xml for EGPD...but what does "Generated EGPD.xml: 66 positions" mean?  Does this mean that PSXT has learned the airport and now static aircraft should show up?  If so...none are showing up in the sim.

What is saying I'd that since it didn't find an archive folder, it created one for you and that file has 66 parking positions. Or will, however, be empty (no defined aircraft parked in specific spots) until you learn it.

Park Fake could help in the meantime. It won't be accurate until you learn it, but it should still place some aircraft. This mod shows real world traffic that it has tracked, but didn't tend to do anything with small airports until Oark Fake was added. Without seeing a specific list of some 3rd party sceneries that it's not finding, I can't provide input on whether my install finds them.

Nico will have to provide input on whether the week 1 archive doesn't include 3rd party airports.

I appreciate you trying to help...but your explanation makes very little sense to me. I think I'll wait until Nico gets back to provide further guidance and I'll table this program for a bit.  Thanks again for your attempt at helping.

The frustrating part of this is that I had static planes parked at every airport, including all of my 3rd party ones, until the most recent update to version 7.7.7.  After "upgrading" to 7.7.7, the program only populates default and Asobo airports.

I've seen other mentions of strangeness with the archive after 7.7.7. Could be related?

Let me try to explain the data file again, even though Nico will need to chime in on the actual problem...

The XML files are textual representations of each of the parking positions defined in the BGL. Once an airport gets learned (or if it's available in the archive) it has aircraft, airline, time and date definitions under each parking position entry to show the aircraft that it has seen park there. That's what it uses to match a day of the week and time relative to when you're flying to actually decide what aircraft to place.

When you don't have a file available from the archive, PSXT creates an XML file from the BGL it finds, but it only has the parking positions from the BGL. It has no data on which aircraft park at which spot because it hasn't learned them.

Normally, you'd have the archive file providing a basis for placing aircraft and then you would also have the file you have learned, which would supplement whatever the archive file has.

I'm not sure if the above helps clarify things, but I hope so and I hope Nico chimes in on your 3rd party question.

However, if you can send a few of the 3rd party airports it's not finding, I can look for them my archive. The previous list you sent was largely Asobo airports and largely very small airports. Do you have any larger 3rd party airports you use?

I have a lot....

WombiiActual ENBR is a great example.  I had static prior to 7.7.7...now I have nothing.  It's as if the archive file for 7.7.7 only has default airports and my program isn't "learning".  I don't know...this is all very confusing. 

Same for ORBX ESSB (Bromma).  I had static planes at the gates before 7.7.7...now it's empty.

I'm definitely not a new FS user...have had every version since 1987.  This has me stumped.
