I'll volunteer to run a test version Rich, I'd love to get this fixed asap.

Thanks Simon! I'll get in touch early next week with a test version for you.

[Simon B]

Great, thanks Rich. I'll wait to hear from you.

Hi Rich,

I installed the recent version of Traffic Global this morning (1.1.1.7).
Me too, I have the same problem, but if it can help you to investigate the source the problem, an error message appear just before the popup "Cargo Traffic... Crerating Crago Flight Plans..."
I thing this message is generated by Visual Studio.
The details of the message is in french beacause my IO is a french version (Win 10).

I don't know why but I am unable to copy this message in the clipboard. I am unable to select the text.
So, there is 3 print screen in wich you can see what line number of your code will be the source of the problem
I hope, that will help you:

If I click Continue, this message dissappear and the popup "Cargo Traffic... Crerating Crago Flight Plans..." stay on the top of the screen indefinitely.

For your information, I run the application as an admnistrator.

Best regards.

Claude.

Hi,
I use FSX SE and I have the same problem when creating cargo flight plans. However, at airports, cargo planes are visible and normally operate smoothly.

I'm also running FSX-SE and TG compiler is currently hanging on creating cargo flights.
For me, at least, the program hung in v1.1.1.6 too if I tried to compile airlines+cargo+ga all at once, but compiling each individually worked ok.
Some cargo ai is there because, when TG installs, it's copying a default set of flightplans into your scenery/world/scenery folder (this includes one traffic.bgl each for airlines, cargo & ga). Obviously, these'll be overwritten with flightplans compiled by the program taking into account whatever addon scenery you have in your scenery.cfg.

Thanks chaps.
Simon, I've DM'd you a link to the test version of the app and some instructions. :thumbs_up:

[Simon B]

Great Rich thanks. I'll have a gander.

I only installed the new TG version yesterday but had no problem compiling Cargo flights, still testing.
P3Dv5 sim.

Hello ,

1. I have just installed Traffic Global (EarlyAccess 1.1.1.8)... and compiling Traffic Database never ends when "Include Cargo Traffic" is checked but does the job within a couple of minutes when the option is unchecked.

2. Default Sim seemed to be "Flight Simulator X" (probably because an old install of an A320 freeware from FLY UK wrote a path in my Windows registry), I deleted that path in the registry, uninstalled TG then reinstalled it ;-) But Cargo Traffic still hangs...

Regards,

Didier

EDIT Sunday 10/11/2020: program do not hang when I unselect "Regenerate Schedules" for Cargo Traffic. I deleted all the .BGL but a file TrafficGlobalCargo.bgl was created (and last modified on April 3rd 2020?!):

The bgl`s that P3Dv5 use in the sim, i do not run GA flight and have about 100 major addon airport Europe and North America

Sorry to disillusion you but you'll find that the TrafficGlobalCargo.bgl you have is actually one of a complete 'default' set that's copied into your scenery/world/scenery folder when you install TG.
So the program has not, in fact, actually generated any additional cargo flights.:slightly_frowning_face:

Along with many others, I have yet to get 'compiling cargo traffic' to complete. The program itself appears to be stuck in a recursive loop.

@Capt-Quirk
Sorry to disillusion you but check again compiled on 9/10/2020 size 4,020kb and not the default 2.688 you are showing.
An updated compile today all.

But i have my GA slider on 0% as i tend to fly airliners PMDG.

:exclamation_question_mark: Mine was a reply to Didier's [DaddyBoon] post!

@Capt-Quirk
Ok roger.
P3Dv5 will not put a BGL in the Scenery\World\Scenery as that`s not how it works in P3Dv5.

[Capt Quirk]

@Ray-Fry
Thanks, I was unaware of that. (I stuck with FSX to avoid breaking the EULA on P3D).

Dear Capt-Quirk, You missed some of my words.
I wrote "I deleted all the .BGL but a file TrafficGlobalCargo.bgl was created (and last modified on April 3rd 2020?!)".
So the nice .BGL modified on April 3rd 2020 has been RECREATED by the "compiler" in my "Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\TrafficGlobal" folder ;-)
I guess it has been copied again (so it created at compile date and time but keeps its original "modified" timestamp) in my folder and is not the result of some compilation.

I agree with the conclusion: So the program has not, in fact, actually generated any additional cargo flights ;-)

Hi, I also get stuck creating the Cargo Plans on P3d V5, I'm sure it worked the first time the other day. Did anyone find a fix?

[Capt Quirk]

@skybluerob
No fix that I'm aware of and I've not been able to compile cargo flights in FSX-SE (Win10x64) since v1.1.1.6.
v1.1.1.9 still exhibits the same behaviour of the program endlessly looping when compiling cargo flights.

[Rich]

Chaps,
On the Diagnostic screen, I added a new option for generating a log when compiling cargo. Could you enable this, let it run for about ten minutes and then shut the app down and send the file to me?
The file is called cargo_OutputLog.txt and it's found in TrafficGlobal\compiler

Hopefully this should allow me to work out at which point this is hanging/looping.

Thanks

@Rich
Thanks, Rich! I'll give that a whirl.....
