Hi all,

I'm using FlightGear 9.10.0 on Ubuntu 7.10.  I am trying to create some 
AI traffic around Melbourne's Tullamarine airport (ICAO="YMML").

To create the AI traffic, I modified the existing UAL files to create 
QAN (Qantas) versions. I edited the XML file 
/usr/share/games/FlightGear/Traffic/fgtraffic.xml, and added the line
<traffic include="QAN/737/737.xml" />

I created the file /usr/share/games/FlightGear/Traffic/QAN/737/737.xml, 
and added the lines
<?xml[...]
<trafficlist>
    <traffic include="QAN/737/QAN01.xml" />
</trafficlist>

I created the file 
/usr/share/games/FlightGear/Traffic/QAN/737/QAN01.xml, by modifying the 
file N376UA.xml that is distributed with FlightGear. I replaced all 
occurrences of "KSFO" with "YMML"

When I run fgfs, it displays the following rather unhelpful error message:
Could not find                          YMML

...where there are 26 spaces between "find" and "YMML".  Increasing the 
log level to "bulk" shows the following lines surrounding this message:

[...]

 From file sounds sample = 
/usr/share/games/FlightGear/Sounds/mk-viii/application-data-base-failed.wav
[...]

Does anyone know what this error message means? I assume that the 26 
spaces are intended to contain some kind of diagnostic information.

I thought it was saying that it could not find the "parking.xml" file 
for YMML.  I tried creating the file
/usr/share/games/FlightGear/Airports/AI/YMML/parking.xml

...with only one gate, two nodes, and two taxiway segments, with lat/lon 
coordinates suitable for YMML, but the message still appears.

What am I doing wrong when creating the traffic files?  Why can't I get 
my AI traffic to appear around YMML?

Regards,
Greg Hawkes
