AI Traffic craft missing performance data

[wkitty42]

these are how they appeared in my debug log... all i've done is grep them out and then sort and uniq them... the first one is apparently missing even the craft's name... no idea what schedule that might be in... i'm posting these here so that this missing performance data may be added where it is needed... i think we'll also see at least one craft is listed with two different names... case matters!

This is an ongoing cleaning exercise that I am taking care of., The errors are non blocking.

I am pushing an update for the 330 350 and 747 today. Won't touch the Antonov and Tupolev aircraft as most of them are linked to old traffic files which we are likely to delete soon (no longer operating)

I went through all traffic files some time ago to identify the "aircraft with no name" but couldn't find it. Maybe an AI ship of some sort ?

Cheers
Ian

thanks for the feedback, ian... i figured there someone was keeping up with these but just wanted to make sure... by my count, there's 44 of them including the one with no name... i'm guessing you see/saw the two b1900d's?

[BecOzIcan]

Yep

[gooneybird]

A while ago I started adding data for some GA aircraft to my local file but I've been though all my FG stuff this afternoon and can no longer find it, probably an old nightly that has since been deleted

[wkitty42]

i'm hesitating as to whether it would be a GoodThing<tm> to find and enter this information for these craft or not... i would think "yes" because these craft models can be used by others and having the data means that someone else won't have to hunt it done later if/when these craft are used (again)...

with that said, if i wanted to do this, where is the file that i need to look at, please? i'm guessing they're all listed in one file but perhaps each craft has its own??

i've looked in the wiki but "performance database" redirects to something about doing VNAV stuff

[BecOzIcan]

The tag lives in each traffic file, look for <actype>XXX</actype> in each aircraft definition.

My approach so far has been to only create entries (or aliases) in the perf DB when recreating or re designing an AI aircraft. This is because we have been doing a lot of cleanup of traffic files for that past year with the help of Macin; We ensured that all updated traffic files only include IATA aircraft codes (with a match in the perf DB) so the number of errors decreaes automatically as we correct the traffic.

data/AI/Aircraft/performancedb.xml

In the experiments I did with GA aircraft it did limit speed and altitude etc. regardless of what was in the traffic file.

[wkitty42]

ok, thanks guys!

@gooney, i should have seen that...

i've also got a few other AI related things that need fixing... i'm not sure if i should just list them somewhere or post their fixes in their own topic(s)... since you guys are the ones working on the AI craft, i have no problem getting the fixes to you for posting to FGData... at least two are typos with one of those requiring either to fix the xml containing the typo OR to rename the file the typo is pointing to... personally, i'd fix the xml and leave the file name as it is (in this one case) but i guess that's up to you guys...

[BecOzIcan]

Send me the details like you did with the Qantas one and I ll cordinate fix.

Cheers
Ian

[wkitty42]

ahhh... ok... i did do that, didn't i

[edit]

it has been sent...

[BecOzIcan]

Received. Will look into it.

Cheers
Ian

[wkitty42]

ok... i've made all the listed changes (except the last two) here and so far, everything seems to be OK... i haven't done the last two because i've been busy chasing down what OSG commit has broken my FG... that and i have to dig into the other craft to figure out how to do a plain white "-default" craft livery like has been done with another of the AI craft...

FWIW: fixing the problems adds two more craft to the "missing performance data" list...
speaking of that, i think the one with the blank name is maybe an error in the code and nothing to do with the craft... i hope to dig into that in the near future, too...

Could not reply to your message as you are not set to receive PMs apparently.
I had a look at your list, below proposed resolution:

1. I will fix :
> MSR EgyptAir
> BBR Santa Barbara (Ceased operations in Jan2018 but not much traffic left in Maiquetia at this point)
> AAL American Eagle (Outdated Traffic File)
> FTR Finistair (o Livery, Outdated Traffic file)
> VOZ Virgin Australia Outdated Traffic file)

2. I will get rid of the traffic files for
RNAF (Private): no update since 2015, JetFighter aircrafts
TYA Nordstar : Their ATR flights are apparently not tracked, I cannot verify/rebuild the traffic file at this point. Will be re assessed later
JAF JetAirFly : Ceased operations, fleet now handled as TUI Belgium under code TUB

Cheers

I found the data I used for the SAAB 2000 in the performance database.

Code: Select all

    <aircraft>
      <type>S20</type>
      <base>turboprop_transport</base>
     <climbrate-fpm>2250.0</climbrate-fpm>
     <takeoff-speed-kts>110.0</takeoff-speed-kts>
      <cruise-speed-kts>367.0</cruise-speed-kts>
     <approach-speed-kts>170.0</approach-speed-kts>
    </aircraft>
   <alias>
      <match>SAAB 2000</match>
      <match>Saab 2000</match>
      <match>SB20</match>
      <alias>S20</alias>
    </alias>

@wkiity42, I can add some more of the missing data when I find it or are you already working on it?
