AI Assistance needed

I have put together an AI Traffic file for an airport I just completed (Loring Int'l_ME16). It incorporates small and medium GA Spots, a few Cargo spots and several large GA spots. I ran the fault finder for the AFCAD (done in ADE) and found no faults. Loaded the sim (FSX) and was happy to see many default and custom aircraft parked or taxiing. However, lol, one J-3 Cub seems to have it's own taxi route which takes it out into the countryside and back again, always the same circuit. The commercial traffic (MD-83 and larger) want to bounce all over the taxiway on the way to the rwy. All medium and small aircraft seem fine, they taxi and take off as they should. Any idea what might be causing the errant behavior of the J-3 and the commercial jets? I used Airport AI Enhancer XP3D for the traffic work.
 
Hi, my first thought would be, maybe you have another version of Loring lurking somewhere on your install, ive just check'd with ADEX and the default ME16 is just a runway with no taxiways, so i dont know where your cub thinks its going, you havent installed any Military versions of Loring in the past when the ICAO code may be different ?
If there's another scenery conflicting with your's, that my also explain the jumping, a slight difference in altitude's between the two, just a thought.

cheers ian

Thanks ian,

Correct, the original airport was simply a runway. . .Bill (WND) and I collaborated on building the airport up to a more reasonable facsimile of what's actually there. We added the taxiways, parking ramps and parking spots along with several custom buildings and some additional default hangars. A much better version of the airport. As far as I know there was never a second version of Loring (Military type) installed. . .this should be the lone version.
 
Tail-draggers are notoriously bad at taxiing. Try substituting an air file from one which behaves.

I dumped the J-3 and substituted the default Airliners for the ones I was using. . .fixed. Thanks for all the input. . .I don't do AI as a general rule but this airport just seemed dead without it.
