Earl,
That is weird. That has never happened to me, and I have been using this
program for about a year, and I have about 20 general aviation aircraft that
I have let ga-traffic convert to AI. The fact that the original aircraft
folder is still there is encouraging though. Pardon me for asking a really
obvious question, but was the aircraft that you converted to AI which
doesn't show up in your installed aircraft list an aircraft that you could
fly before ga-traffic converted it? Some FS2004 aircraft are simply AI
traffic to begin with, and don't show up in your list of installed
aircraft.The only thing that I can think of is that somehow the directory
filename got changed somehow. When ga-traffic makes AI aircraft, it creates
a copy of the original aircrafts directory to put the AI textures, but gives
the directory a "GA-AI" prefix. For instance, the default FS2004 Cessna
172's directory is named: "c172". After making an AI copy of this aircraft,
Ga-Traffic creates a directory in your Aircraft directory called "GA-AI
c172". But it leaves the original directory alone (or at least it has in all
the aircraft that I have installed). I hope you get this resolved.
