AI..

Hi Chaps 
I downloaded a traffic file today from EarthSim. It's a freebie designed to cover the IoS and is fed from Lands End, Newquay, Bristol and Exeter. The pack includes an AI DHC6 and AI BN2.. both from Henry Tom. I loaded it up and found the DHC6 no problem. However.. the BN2 wasn't showing anywhere. I ran the flightplan through AIFP and it showed no errors (which is a shock in itself)!!! I made notes of where the BN2 was supposed to be at given times and checked for it but still no sign.
Now me hearties.. I have Airline traffic switched off in FSX, GA on 30%, Road traffic low, Boat traffic high and tiddly boats around 12%. I've found that switching Airline traffic off cuts down the probability of getting an AI error when closing (having closed) the sim. In desperation, I turned Airline traffic up to 1% and there appeared the BN2
Anyone know why the DHC6 shows fine with Airline traffic off yet the BN2 doesn't??
I've looked at the aircraft.cfgs of both models until the screen as become a blur but can't see anything that would make one an airliner and the other GA 
My problem is sorted but I'm curious to know why one shows and t'other doesn't.
EDIT: Moments later.. a thought struck me.. is there an atc_airline entry in either model. Answer.. yes.. in the BN2!!! 'atc_airline=skybus'
I'll leave this thread up just in case any of you get caught in a similar situation 
EDIT#2 There IS another problem but one common to old HTAI models.. solid black prop blurs
I should be able to find something to fix that
Cheers
