This is normal?

It's probably CIA Zsolt. ;-)
 
Nice pics, Zsolt, as always!

No, this is a bad problem with the FS2004. Erroneously, in the default scenery, ETUO appears as a normal civil airport. THIS IS WRONG! RAF Gutersloh wasn't at all! So inside the manual, we advert to it:

(please have a look at):

4. AIRCRAFT PARKING AND FLIGHT PLANS

Note that the Harriers and Chinooks are parked at their squadron positions as
follows:

Harrier GR3, 3 Sqn HAS area to the southeast side
Harrier GR3, 4 Sqn. HAS area to the west side of the airfield
Chinook HC1, 18 Sqn Big Hangar 1 to the west side

Note that in the default version of Gutersloh, the airfield is used as a commercial
airport. Because of this, default traffic will appear from time to time.
To prevent this, you can disable the default traffic. Go to
FS9 /scenery/world/scenery and rename the file "Traffic030528.bgl" to
"Traffic030528.OFF" for example.

Hope this helps.
 
Thank you to all involved in this project for their work, its a massive undertaking and its been pulled off in spectacular fashion :salute:

There is a slightly better way; decompile the above named traffic .bgl (Lee Swordy's traffic tools will do this)
you get three text files < Airports<Flightplans< and Aircraft

Simply use your favourite text file editor (windows notepad works) and replace any occurrences of ETUO in the flightplans.txt
file with a n other nearby airport code; recompile and you're good to go.

In this one (attached) I've sent the default AI to ETND

It's ment "ETUO", isn't it?

Thank you for suggestion, mate. This is a great option!
 
Took a little dusk drive around the base, and got a few pics.









Thanks Pete for the tip on the default traffic. Had a few unwanted at the base in a earlier session.

Manschy, Will this scenery be done for FSX? If not can you tell me which file controls the tree's?
I have installed it in fsx and have the Alpha problem with ported fs9 objects. I tried to remove them
using IS3 (Instant Scenery) but they are still there. Funny thing is I had a few default hangers show
up, and removed them with no problem. I had already removed any afcad files before I installed to fsx.
Thanks for any help with this.

I have disabled default traffic, but I'm still getting some transients - oh well. I'm sure that rank has it's privileges for some. (I've got a civilian uncle working at a base in the US. He's a member of the flying club there. Up until the 9/11 stuff, the flying club was on base (it's off base now) - so he, as a civilian, has flown a little C172 on to the air force base on multiple occasions. I'm sure that that's probably still not impossible if you've got the right influence...)

Would it damage anything if I removed the GA parking spots from the afcad, though?


It's incredible scenery - I am really amazed by what you've been able to accomplish and still maintain a low FPS impact. This is going to be one the first things I install next time I reinstall FS...

I haven't. Although I HAVE disabled the default traffic, I've replaced it with as much else as I possibly can. I've got 160 megabytes of traffic files! Fully half of that is GA flight plans, so it would be, I think, a heck of a task to identify every guilty file, decompile them, and edit them. If removing GA traffic parking from the afcad would not cause a problem, that would be a much simpler fix.
 
RAF Germany

I've got the Calclassic AI pack installed in my FS 9 with the MS file disabled. So far I haven't noticed any civilian traffic using the base. This also gives you a lot of more period friendly aircraft flying about the area on their scheduled runs to and fro. I've also enjoyed seeing some NATO Starfighters visiting the base from the Owl's Nest collection of AI F-104 Starfighters.

I've had some fun flying back and forth between RAF Gutersloh and RAF Bruggen last night and this morning. I just can't say enough about how nice this new scenery and AI traffic file is.
