AI Traffic
AFX or AFCAD files are used to set up the taxiway layout for AI traffic.
You might be using an AI traffic addon that installs additional AFX
(AFCAD) files for Manchester. Please remove any other existing AFX
(AFCAD) files for LIMC “Manchester“ (most named: AFX_EGCC.bgl or
similar. EGCC= ICAO code for Manchester) except the files included in
this scenery.
Dynamic Ground Traffic (AES Lite)
The dynamic ground traffic on the airport is controlled intelligently,
which means that they are able to detect planes and stop to let them
pass. This technology, based on AESLite by Oliver Pabst, is included in
this scenery. Please make sure to disable the standard apron traffic to
prevent interferences and to improve framerates.
Animated Jetways
During the installation so called “CTRL-J animated jetways” will be
installed. The animated jetways (set parking brake and press CTRL-J)
move towards the airplane door (and, independently from that, to the
doors of AI aircraft if those are equipped with a jetway connection
point). Due to technical limitations in FSX, FSX:SE and P3D the chassis
of the jetways may sink into the ground when docking to a lower
aircraft. This is a problem of the simulator and cannot be solved.
Please note: If there are a lot of AI aircraft at the airport and you load
the scenery directly via the simulator selection you might encounter a
short term framerate decrease as all jetways first have to find/calculate
their way to the right AI aircraft. Once all AI planes are docked, the
framerate will rise back to normal levels.
Scenery Manager
The scenery manager allows you to enable or disable selected features
of the scenery that may hinder performance of the flight simulator.
The scenery manager can be found in your start menu as well as the
scenery folder of the flight simulator.
The Configure button for the static objects shows a list of static
objects that you can disable if you want to reduce the stress on the
engine. These objects are cosmetic and can decrease the liveliness of
the scenery if disabled but it may boost performance on lower end
systems.
