TTools for MSFS Forum

Hello Guys,I am following this forum for a very long time now, and can always find my anwers. But now i really #### up the main traffic.bgl file in FS2004. I... ehhh replaced all aircraft with the klm B737... LOL... i like KLM but this is a little to much ;-) Who knows the place to get the original .bgl ?? Thanx !!GrtzArjen

First of all,I have 6 different Ameriflight aircraft types with a total count of 32 total.The flights are all out of KPDX or have KPDX as one of the legs.I used AFCAD to modify all the airports where these flights go to so that AMF has parking for these AC.When I started this endeavor I tried out only three flights and they appeared to work fine.At KPDX they were just about all parked,some coming or going.Now that I've completed all of the airports,and flight plans....there's not one Ameriflight AI in sight! Day or night!What a let-down!I tried removing most of the recent flights from the TTls folder to see if the original ones still worked...no joy:(TTls loaded everythin…

Hello all!I am coming back from a reformat, and I remember the last time I was working with my AI traffic (UT) to get things looking good, I had stumbled across a program that I am almost certain I just had to click a button & it set airlines to gates all at once instead of having to chance each aircraft, & each gate.The problem: I cannot remember the name of that program, nor if I heard about it here, or elsewhere.I seem to remember it being something like AI traffic Organizer, or something to check flight data? But I do not think it was AITM.Any help would be wonderful.

Hello All.This is my first post of any kind on this forum and I hope I'm lucky enough to find an answer to my problem.Using Traffic Tools to edit my FS9 AI Flight plans, I have been trying in vain to remove the numerous AI caravan flights that appear throughout my FS-World.No matter what I do, the flights are always there when I hit CTRL-W to view other nearby traffic.I have essentially replaced the default traffic.bgl file with a file that contains only downloaded AI flightplans and does not contain any of the default FS9 traffic.I have also removed any reference to the Caravans in the aircraft.txt file that TTools refers to.After doing all of this, I have re-compiled th…

Hianyone able to tell me why the following is happening?I have altered the default scenery for RAF waddington.Everything works ok untill i place three aircraft macros at a sertain location.After that, when i try to start flightsim it updates the scenery files ok but when i try and goto the airport just altered it gets so far through the loading process then just stops.In this certain location there are a couple of excludes. The scenery works just fine if i place the macros somewhere else so it cant be the macros. The exludes dont seem to bother any other macros at this location either, IE buildings and so on. aalso, if i place just one or two aircraft macros at this locat…

Hello GentlemenMaybe you could help me with a little problem.I built a fictious airport with afcad 2.21 for fs 2004. The fault finder tool says it is OK. I made a simple flight plan. I can see my planes arriving to my fictious airport and park ok. But the problem is when the flight should depart from my fictious airport the plane simply disappears.Any idea?I thank you very much for your forthcoming assistance.FriendlyChristian, Paris, France

Hi guysI have an idea that may sound silly and perhaps its not even possible, but if it is then maybe it is posible to have AI arcraft follow any roune you chose or at least fool AI trafic into doing soI read somewhere once that something could go wrong with the airport in AFCAD (or was it somethig too do with traffic tools) that would cause an aircraft to aproach an airport for landing but instead of landing, it would just do a low pass over the runway and fly on. Anyone have any idea what im on about?Anyway, my plan is this. Would it be possible to build an airport with afcad, placed where ever you want an aircraft to fly to, but instead of it landing have it fly srtaig…

Does anyone know if its possible to get an arcraft to fly to an airport, do an aprach but not land there but fly onto another one?

My impression from reading the last month's posts on this forum is that people are using AITM with FS9. How are you doing this? When I installed the program, it assumed that I was using FS2002 (which I still have on my computer). Is there a way to switch this to FS9 so that it reads the correct airport and aircraft data? Thanks for your help.

Hi ,A week ago I downloaded the Afcad2.21.But , it is too complex and I need some words of help.Where have I to install this file in FS2004 ?Which planes have I to use to get some AI-planes in my sceneries ?Is it allowed to use it in add-ons ?Is there a difference between Afcad and 'www.projectai.com' ?Is there a very good and detailed tutorial ?I'm very sorry , but I'm lost in this Afcad-history. I don't know it anymore.And to be honest , I'm a little bit stressed and mad about this Afcad-system.I'm looking forward to get some help.Otherwise , I have to take Prozac. Just joking. Haha. About the Prozac.Kindest regards ,Tom.

Hi,I am a newbie and keep reading about AFCAD. I have searched the file librairies to no avail. Can someone tell me where to obtain AFCAD and is it free/shareware or payware.Thanks,Jim

Hi,I am using AFCAD 1.4 with FS2002. Have created overlays for O'Hare (KORD, 2ORD, 3ORD, 4ORD). However, I try to create an IFR flightplan to one of the overlays (i.e. not KORD). When requesting clearance to one of the overlays, the airport is referred to by the ATC as 2ORD and not O'hare.Does anyone know if something in the AFCAD file controls this? Or if when you use overlays you should use EditVoicePack and create new callsigns for the overlay codes?thanks

Greetings all,I have tried to find an answer to this elsewhere, but to no avail. I moved the default traffic file (traffic030528.bgl) to another directory on my HD so as to remove default traffic. Now, I understand that TTools uses this file (and I want to manually add FPs that are not in MRAI wizard format) Does this mean that in order to compile downloaded third-party FPs using TTools, one necessarily has to accept that the default traffic will be flying around? In other words, can I compile a bgl file from scratch (i.e. without decompiling the default file first)? Or, alternatively, can I put the default traffic file back to where it belongs in the scenery folder of FS…

Can anyone confirm that the aircraft number in aircraft_xxx.txt is used only by the corresponding flightplans.xxx.ie, can I have AC#1 as a B737 in aircraft_xxx.txt/flightplans_xxx and AC#1 as an F-16 in aircraft_yyy.txt/flightplans_yyy.txt?George

I have recently downloaded ARNZ AI AIRBUS TWINS to inject a bit of reality into traffic at my local airport. One texture (MY TRAVEL) installed as oer readme guide,two others (Air Malta & Easyjet) I was able to insert into the AIRBUS TWINS folder created in FS aircraft. Each of these appears OK when selected in FS 2004,but I cannot get them to function as AI traffic. I added MY TRAVEL to TTools aircraft file,first using name as config entry,but no joy. The flightplan is OK as it worked fine when I substituted a default FS aircraft.I then tried various names, starting with AIRBUS TWINS in which all the downloads are placed, without success. I note that you suggest only …

Hi all,when i use my ryanair 737-800, atc is not calling it "Ryanair"ATC is saying no Airline name just the flight number from theflightplans.txtOtherwise ATC is working perfectly with the aircraft...It seems that my AI can only speek, the "normal" ones, likePacifica and Landmark etc......even with this settings in the aircraft.cfg ?atc_id=EI-DAOatc_airline=RYANAIRatc_flight_number=105Please help, i am looking forward to have my Ryanair correctly flying. Thx

I am a newbie.I am having trouble making AI conduct TNG's.My civilian aircrft work great.A320Beech 1900DMy Military aircraft are tempermental.F18 Super HornetP3CAll on VFR flight plans, departing at 3 min intervals.To my knowledge FS9 should allow multiple aircraft to conductTNG's.At times my F18 Superhornet will behave correctly andthen for no apparent reason decides that it doesn't want to doTNG's and flies into the stratosphere.The P3C takes off climbs to 1000', turns left (left hand circuit ineffect at CYQQ) then descends and crashes (disappears).Each aircraft have ther own Aircraft.txt, Airport.txt Fightplan.txt and traffic.bgl.

I can no longer "Open Airport". I can click on a Previously Modified Airport but cannot work on one that is not in my "Recent" list. anyone out there have any ideas?

Good day,TTools converts traffic.bgl in txt files...is there any program or a OCX, that convertsany bgl into a txt file?Is there any Program that delivers, like CollectAirportsairportdata into txt files, but with additional infos, suchas runway and ILS data?Thank you, this is my first post, i hope i didn

hello dear friendsi have following problem at different airports with my ai traffican airport like Luxembourg, ELLX, which has no gates and planes are parked on the ramp, they taxi in the parking spot , and afterwards just can taxi straight out back to the taxyway. but my AI planes, always make a short pushback, and then a sharp turn to join the taxyway via the way they took to get to the stand.is there a way to tell AI traffic not to pushback, but to simply taxi straight out??thanks a lotMarc MullerLuxembourg

Is it possible to have letters in the flight numbers in TTools? I tried to enter "D02" and "D002" as a flight number, but TTools gives me an error message. If I enter "0D02" the compiler works, but in FS the aircraft is just called "zero" (and if I decompile the bgl the flight number has changed to "0000").I'm trying to make some military AI traffic and where I come from the callsigns are e.g. "Uniform 57" or "Delta 02" (each AFB has its own letter and the number is the fin number).Letters in the flight number works if I fly the aircraft myself, but doesn't it work for AI aircraft?Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

When I enable VASI on the Runway/Lights page, they do not appear on FS9. Can anyone explain how to make them appear? (or is this a function of the scenery bgl?)George

Anyone know if the visual duration for Ai a/c can be extended.I have been trying to follow a 128 mile flight,halfway there,fs returnes to the home a/p.I must now go to the destination a/p to continue the flight?,

Anyone know how to asign a parking code to an AC, without all of the same type of AC.in the system taking on the same code?:-hmmm

I've been messing around with one of the ai flightplan building utilites and have made up (using their latest schedule) flightplans for the new Independence Air. Trouble is I made these in "24Hr." format which means KIAD is littered with the crj's. If anyone knows a fast way of changing these to a "WEEK" schedule (to keep the aircraft moving) i'd appreciate any advice. Here's what i've come up with so far.
