QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Aircraft do not park and taxi correctly, the runway start position is off.

This occurs when multiple “Afcad” files for the same airport exist on
your system. W hen installing any Addon Airport, a lways make sure
that you don’t have another Addon that also covers the sa me airport
and if you have an AI Traffic Addon such as MyTraffic, make sure
you disable the Afcad file(s) provided by that Traffic Addon as well.

Can’t obtain clearance when holding at the runway entrances.

The hold-marking in this scenery have been placed at their real -

world positions, which can be too far from the runway for the Sim
engine to handle. The solution is to taxi closer to the runway until
clearance can be obtained.

FlyTampa-Configurator.

The FlyTampa-Configurator Tool can be found in the /Prepar3D

v4/FlyTampa/ folder. If you have trouble running this Program,
make sure that Prepar3D is not running and that you right click and
select “Run as Administrator”.

Ground Textures do not load and the airport appears grey or white.

This will happen if the Addon is added to the Scenery Library the
traditional way. It must be added to Prepar3D’s “add -ons.cfg”
instead, see below.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

After installing, Prepar3D still loads the default airport.

This Addon cannot be added via the traditional Scenery Library.

Instead it must be added to Prepar3D’s “add -ons.cfg”. Normally our
Installer will do this automatically but if it fails to do so you can add it
by using one of the three methods described below. Note that if the
Addon is added using the traditional Scenery Library method, there
will be problems such as ground textures not loading, among other
issues.

1. Go to the Prepar3D folder, subfol der /FlyTampa/Airport/ and run

the file labeled “Add-to-P3D.cmd ”.

2. Run the following command line within the Prepar3D main

folder, replacing the path at the end according to where you
installed the FlyTampa Addon:

Prepar3D.exe “-Configure: Category=Add -on Package,

Operation=Add, FileLocation=Roaming, c: \Prepar3D
v4\FlyTampa\Airport\”

3. Edit the “add-ons.cfg” in Notepad manually by loading the file:

C:\users\USERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\Lockheed
Martin\Prepar3D v4 \ add-ons.cf g
Add an entry to this file similar to the following :

[Package.1]
PATH=C: \Prepar3D v4\FlyTampa\Airport
ACTIVE=true
REQUIRED=false
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Hong Kong Heliports.

Hong Kong features 2 landable Heliports. One is located on the

rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel, the other is the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Heliport
by the Shun-Tak building.

AI Traffic for Kai-Tak.

Kai-Tak has been closed since 1998 and is therefore not included in
the flight schedules of the default Flight Simulator as well as modern
AI packages such as Ultimate -Traffic, MyTraffic, W orld -of-AI etc.
Some Addon packages offer option s to create new Traffic or redirect
existing traffic from another airport, such as VHHH.

Redirecting your existing Traffic from Hong Kong’s new airport

(VHHH) to Kai-Tak. To perform the red irection of traffic from VHHH to
VHHX you must first decompile your main Traffic BGL file
(FS/scenery/world/scenery/). Two of the three resulting TXT files
must be edited as follows: In Airports***.txt insert line VHHX,N22*
19.01',E114* 12.11',0. Optionall y remove the existing line containing
the VHHH entry. Save the file. In Flightplans***.txt use the Search &
Replace function to replace all VHHH instances with VHHX. Save the
file and recompile your Traffic BGL.

Some AI aircraft don’t land on the runway centerline.

Each AI aircraft flies the IGS approach differently according to the

Flight Dynamics in its’ aircraft.cfg file. This was also the case at the
real Kai-Tak with various airliners using slightly different procedures.
Some AI models will have dif ficulty aligning to the runway in time and
land on a tilted angle etc.

AI-Traffic jams.

W hen runway 31 is used AI traffic congestions can easily occur. This

is a natural limitation of Kai -Tak’s taxiway layout that the AI engine
cannot overcome. Fortunate ly, runway 31 is used very rarely if you
rely on real world weather.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Installing into another location outside the Prepar3D folder.

This Addon must be installed into the main Prepar3D folder at first,
but it can be moved t o different location afterwards. To do so, simply
let the Installation complete, exit the FlyTampa -Configurator Tool in
case it is running and use W indows’ File Explorer to move the whole
FlyTampa folder structure from \Prepar3D v4\FlyTampa\ to another
location. It is vital that you move the whole FlyTampa folder and not
just the Airport subfolder, otherwise the FlyTampa -Configurator Tool
will no longer work. Afterwards you need to re -add the entries to
Prepar3D’s “add -ons.cfg” by running each /FlyTampa/Air port/ Add -to-
P3D.cmd or by using one of the three methods described above.

In case of an update or when installing another FlyTampa Addon at a

later date after having moved the folder, simply install the new Addon
into the main Prepar3D folder as usual an d move the folder again
afterwards. W hen asked to overwrite existing files from a previously
moved FlyTampa folder, click yes to overwrite all the files.

How to Uninstall.

Simply delete the folder(s) with the Addon files, usually located in:
Prepar3D v4/ FlyTampa/Airport/

If you have several FlyTampa Addons installed, only delete the

respective Airport subfolder you with to uninstall, not the whole
FlyTampa folder.

Upon starting Prepar3D again, the entries for the Addons you deleted
will automatically be removed from the add -ons.cfg.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

The following Prepar3D settings marked green are recommended for this Addon.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

W e do not recommend editing the Prepar3D.cfg file, especially not to add

tweaks previously used in the FSX.cfg.
