Lynn & Bill Lyon's Goose package

[hobby]

Here in the UK my sons and I much enjoyed "Cutter's Goose" in the TV shows "Tales of the Gold Monkey" in the 1980s.
I was very pleased to download "Cutter's Goose" but I am unable to see any of the AI traffic included in that package in my FS2004.
Can anyone help please?
I have tried finding substitute aircraft eg P M Stone's PBY can be seen and operates well as an AI acft. Even some of the fS2004 stock acft such as the Cub cannot be seen as AI acft on my setup.
All elements of Bill's package seem to have installed in the correct FS2004 locations and the AI package acft appear in the FS2004 "aircraft list" as expected.
I am sure that it is I who is at fault but help would be appreciated please.

There are 3 elements to the AI in the Goose package and all must be in their proper location.

Please look in scenery\world\scenery for

Traffic_KW.bgl
Traffic_TOGM.bgl
Traffic_WC.bgl

Please look in addon scenery/scenery for

AF2_TGM0.bgl
AF2_TGM1.bgl
AF2_TGM2.bgl
AF2_TGM3.bgl
AF2_TGM4.bgl
AF2_TGMA.bgl
AF2_TGMB.bgl

There are others but if these are there they all should be.

Please look in the aircraft folder

There should be 18 aircraft whose naame begins with cg

Also please check that under Options/Settings/Traffic that both airline and general aviation are checked and the density is at 100%

Then load the Classic Goose Dawn Flight and change the time to 8 am and the day to Wednesday. You should see a Boeing 314 on the opposite side oif the lagoon. Advance the time to 9 am and the 314 should turn and taxi out to the water runway

I am very pleased to tell you that all is now as it should be. Thank you for your help.

MY ERRORS WERE
1) I do not normally have any scenery in the Addon Scenery/Scenery file so that I had not ticked that box on the FS2004 scenery Library. Now Corrected

2) I had not ticked General Aviation in the Options/ Settings/Traffic. Now corrected.

I have flown three different test flights since reading your answer Bill and all work as they should. An excellent package, thank you once again.

I could only find 16 rather than 18 acft files, plus built in variations, but that is of no consequence.

I may have extra planes from the beta test so the number is not important. Glad you got it working

Not sure if you're still following this thread or not Bill, however with interest I read it in it's entirety, my setup appears to be complete, however when conducting the test you said, I don't get any B-314 across the lagoon. I have 2 setups, FS9 + FSGW3, and didn't work on either of them.

The Goose is one of my favorites by far, however, almost laughingly, when you load the Avalon to Long Beach, I get a Lear Jet in the Water on FS9, and nothing on FSGW. Not sure what the problem could be, but I keep experimenting. I looked for severalhours for the phantom planes I've read about in the Bermuda Triangle, havn't found them yet.

Anyone ever come up with a fix for the autopilot. The best way I have come up with is to run FS in the windowed mode, also the the Crown Stack in the Undocked windowed mode, cycle through the views once, and it will stay on for most instances, however I still find my self nosediving into hard objects when the FS speed is set to 8 or 16.

Anyways, I degress, any pointers could be appreciated.
Love FSGW, and I'm sure the team puts in countless volunteer hours for the benefit of the FS community, I for one THANK YOU!

If you set your time and date to Wednesday February 2, 1938 at 8 am local time 2200pm GMT you should see the B314. (the 22:00 GMT is the important number)

Sir, she just isn't there. Files are all there, settings are as directed. I'll keep working on it.
