Landing at an wrong destinations

[milkyway]

Hello everybody,

don't be worried when reading the header of this topic. I already read the FAQ and how to solve this problem but thinking about this I'm not 100%
confirm with its result. So let me please explain what I've found out and may be you can help me.

I also have had the problem of getting pilots penalties ppints if I landed at wrong destinations. I got these penalties at different destinations like
EDDB, EDDF and LOWW. You may sure I made a correct flight planning with correct ICAO-codes of departure and arrival destinations. After touchdown on
the correct runway and being advised by ATC to taxi to the (IFR) gate, finishing the flight and ending the FsP-flightreport I got always the
information of having landed at a wrong destination (sometimes). You also may be sure for 100 % that I landed at he correct airport.

So to find out what are the causes for these penalties I made once again flights to these destinations with the same result of penalties.

In FAQ it is written FsP is asking FS9 GPS about the closest airport when ending the flight. But what to do? Taxing to another gate of my own choice?
100% unrealistic and for being unrealistic I don't need a program/add-on like FsP (FsP shall give us more realistic feeling, isn't it?).

When parking at the correct destination i.e. LOWW gate 53 you will have no penalty, parking and ending the flight at gate 7 you get penalty-points. I
also found out that "wrong" destinations are always helipads like JFLW at LOWW, JFDT and JFDT at EDDB and so on. Next I found out is that this problem
is in connection with the another add-on TRAFFIC 2005 of Justflight. I suppose this add-on installed these helipad destinations.

So my question is: What to do? How can I remove destinations i.e. helipads, which I don't want to have in my FS-world? Or, what FsP can do to find out
the correct destination? My meaning is, FsP is not working 100% correct and so we have to try to correct the program and not the FS-world?

I'm eagerly waiting for an answer.

So long, greetings Hermann.

P.S. I beg your pardon for my bad English, but I'm not a native british or american citizen. So don't be angry with me if I wrote anything which could
sound like a personal attack for someone. I'm not meaning it so. I'm only fighting for the facts and a good program which I like very much.

I think best thing to do is to remove those afcad files (or edit them to remove helipads if it's part of it) with tools like scanafd and afcad2. Both
tools can be found on sites like avsim. I use both tools a lot after i installed some addon airport which usually comes with it's own afcad files so
that i can remove the original afcad or the ones installed by traffic tools .

Next I found out is that this problem is in connection with the another add-on TRAFFIC 2005 of Justflight.

...you are jolly right! Expirienced the same problem in EDDF, EDDH, EDDM... and it was always the damn helipad
I do not fly helis so I actually do not need helipads! Backup, move or delete all helipads AFCAD files in the Traffic 2005 scenery folder and
thats it!

P.S. dont mind your english, its very good, and the most important thing is to understand each other and not to write a perfect english
here. We are on the FSP forum not on an english literature forum

Hi Enzo

thanks for your tips . I just had a look for the AFCAD-files of Traffic 2005 but I didn't find them in the folder you described.

The only thing I found were the helipads destinations in "lists"-file and also in the airportdata.ini. In this two files I deleted all helipads (after
I made a backup). So I hope they still will work afterwards.

Tomorrow I'll check all with the next flight.

So long und mit besten badischen "Grüßlen" near EDSB

Hi Dutch64,
also thanks for your tips. I just tried to download your recommended programs for deleting from avsim but the server was overloaded. So I'll try it
again tomorrow.

Greetings

I just had a look for the AFCAD-files of Traffic 2005 but I didn't find them in the folder you described

the folder should be: ....FS2004\scenery\Traffic 2005 AFD\scenery... thats where all my AFCAD files from TRAFFIC 2005 are. In that folder
you have all files that look like this: AF2_XXXX.bgl where the XXXX is the code of the airport. Just move, backup, rename or delete all the
AF2_JXXX.bgl files, those are the helipads.
You do NOT nead the AFCAD software to do this! In this case the helipads are own AFCAD files and not embedded in the respective
airport AFCAD file where they are located.
Anyhow get your self the AFCAD software, its easy to use and you can customize airports as you like, it's a great freeware program!
Cheers
