TTools for MSFS Forum

x( Each time I download a PAI re - paint, and then look for it,in FS aircraft selection,it locks up the model, and I get the following message, "AIRCRAFT INITIATION FAILURE"Will appreciate any help.

On the next update?

Hi,Just a simple question,How can I change the aircraft ID in an aircraft.cfg file so I can use that aircraft for a specific flight plan?I want to know where the aircraft ID is written in the aircraft.cfg file so I can modify it.Thanks,Falcon 20

I've been buggering about with TTools, GA Traffic etc. I thought that everything was returned to normal and then I noticed that all of my AI planes seem to be flying in pairs, or certainly very close together. They are so close in some instances that at first I thought that FS9 was simply duplicating the name of the aircraft on screen, then I saw the other plane tucked in behind.Any ideas how best to get everything back to normalThanks

I'm trying to simulate the traffic at my flight school. I'm wondering how much of it is possible to do in FS2004 and what is not.The flights include: (note that when I say "land" I mean land, taxi to parking and shut down)1) Circuit/pattern training (depending on where you're from! :-)) at the home field (airport A)2) Local flights, i.e. take off from A, fly into uncontrolled airspace, do some exercises, fly back and land at A3) Take off from A, fly to B, land, take off again and fly back to A4) Take off from A, fly to B, do one touch and go, fly back to A5) Take off from A, fly to B, do one or two touch and goes, land, take off and fly back to A.6) Take off from A, fly t…

I can no longer get CollectAirports.exe to find the airports in FlightSim 2004 even though they are all there. When I run it, it gives the following completion notice: Collecting FS2004 Airports ... Airport count: 0 Collection completed, created file: Airports_FS2004.txtThe file is empty. Also, a CollectAirports.ini file is created but it is empty also. I've tried using "FILE|Locate File Simulator" from the pull down menu but even though I point to the location (default directory). I still get the above results. Can anyone help me with this?

I have built a huge AI traffic and had big fun doing so, but meanwhile it starts to kill my flying activities, too much traffic on taxiways and no chance of landing without the "go arround" command from ATC. So I started to fly with AI traffic disabled and reactivated static aircrafts of my add on sceneries. These often look ugly, I would like to add "my own" static aircrafts using the same fine models from AIA, FSP etc. I'm no scenery designer, my idea is to write flightplans that "don't work", I'd like to have planes sitting at the gate that don't move. Does anybode know a command line for flightplans.txt that makes a plane sitting at the gate the whole day? Thanks for …

Hi,I am having ago at producing my first AI planes at an airfield that I have put into FS9. My first attempt was a TNG that I wanted to start off at 2.30 pm, carry on until 4.30. That seems to work okay however when I wanted to create another flight from my Airfield to Gloucester Uk, I put that down to take off at 14.45, which it did, however I followed it to Gloucester but it didn't land it carries on and on and.....well you get the idea. I have also noticed now that when I go into the decompiled file the times that I put in seem to have both gone to starting at 00:30:00 and 00:45 respectively.What am I doing wrong:) CheersPaul

Not sure if this is the correct forum (is there an AFCAD forum looming out there?), but oh well.1. - Does AFCAD2 (or FS2004) have the "smarts" to allow aircraft to enter the runway from two different entrances? (not sure what the proper aviation term would be for that?)Tried forcing some AI to enter from a different taxiway by closing a certain taxiway but the AI went right through it!?2. - Re-activating good 'ol Hong Kong Kai Tak (VHHX) airport with new AFCAD, scenery, lanclass, etc. I see when I use just the original FS2004 AFCAD ATC works properly identifying it as "Hong Kong" but the minute I use my modified AFCAD I loose it. Are these two related? Just will say "t…

i cant seem to find the traffic.bgl file i dont even have a scenery/world folder can someone help me

Does anyone know of a good AI Model T-37 or T-38 that I could use with Sheppard AFB? I'm currently flying the Microsimulator T-37 and would like to enhance my flying experience at Sheppard AFB.John:-scatter

My aircraft are spinning out of control after taxi. They receive instruction from the tower then move about 2 feet then just start spinning like crazy then disappear. Fault finder finds nothing wrong. Really confused on this one...well, it is my first AFCAD build and I'm ready to give it up. Any help would be great! -Mikehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/79754.jpgThe lines in red are "blank" taxiways and they are attached to Taxi A.

I'm using Don Moser's Alaska Scenery, kodiak 2002, and have no problems with this as such. However, I'm trying to get AI aircraft to fly into one of the fields, Kodiak Office. I'm using FS2002. I've created an AFCAD file but the name of the field in the afd.bgl is KOFF - duplicating an air force base somewhere. How can I change the designation of the airfield in the afd.bgl?Thanks in advance.

Hello.I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not it is possible to assign a specific runway to a flightplan.Let's say you want to have an AI aircraft due TNG's on a specific runway. Taking into effect wind direction of course (let's say either 09 or 27). Is this possible? If so, how?Thanks!

Is this possible?Plane takes off from Airport A, comes up to Airport B and does T&Gs. After done, still in air, returns to Airport A.

I used to have a shortcut for the FS2K2 ICAO list while I used TTools. But I can't seem to find the ICAO list in FS9. Without that list, editing and creating flight plans is very difficult.Anybody know where the ICAO text file is in FS9, so I can make a shortcut to desktop while editing flightplans?????Thanks again!!!!!Rick

Hi all,I've written a C# .NET program that give Airport Trafficsinterfaced with FSUIPC. - Available information : Aircrafts : - At Gates/Parkings - On taxiway out & in - On runways out & in - Takeof & Enroute to ICAO - Enroute/Pattern/Landing/Go Around from ICAO - Planned Arrivals. If this is interesting, I'm looking for a couple of beta testers.I don't think this is ready for general distribution yet, but would like some broader exposure. Prerequisites :- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (V1.1.4322) must be installed- FSUIPC version 3.22 or later no registration needed.- Can be used with Widefs registreded.- A processor over 1.8MGz.Anybody brave enou…

:-roll Anyone know if the toolbox sdk will work in windows 98?. I have been trying to set it, but the toolbox.dll will not show up,even though it is on the download disk. Thanks.

OK, so I'm using TTools 2.02. I compile my flightplans and get an error: "a flightplan specifies AC#58444 that aircraft is not in the aircraft.txt". So, I think, fine, we've seen that before and search my flightplans.txt for a stray aircraft that isn't numbered correctly. Odd thing is, there is no AC#58444 to be found anywhere in the flightplans.txt. What now? :-hmmm any clues appreciated.Misha

Hi all,Do the codes used for the "atc_parking_codes=" entry have to belong to a specific list of valid codes or can you make your own up?I'm having a problem with getting an AI aircraft to appear at a specific terminal. Here's the situation:Alliance Airlines (Australia) operates some domestic flights and some international flights from Brisbane, using the same aircraft.Using the parking code of QQA I have the aircraft correctly appearing at a few specific gates at the domestic terminal of the airport (gates are set to allow only QQA parking with AFCAD). The international flights should operate from the international terminal so I have added a [fltsim.1] section to the a…

Hello everyone.One question:Traffic look is able to give a list of the situation of the planes on the ground or airborne.Very practical to check and see the AI traffic on a given airport.But from where does TrafficLook get this information? (Obviouly from the FlightPlans but what I ask is from where PHISICALLY!)And if it is available somewhere, wouldn

Hi,I would like to modify the AI in the game to only use a select list of aircraft (anything pre-1970).Is there a simple way to do this? If I just delete the planes I don't want from the plane folder, will the AI automatically select from the remaining planes that I have left in the folder?ThanksTrout

:-hmmm Playing with AI aircraft at london Heathrow A/P, lots of activity, would be nice if you could hear the controllers,Any ideas anyone.

I download the new Denver scenery And I can not get anthing but the default airline at the gates Can some one please explain to me how I would do that.

Can anyone answer as to what happens to AI planes whose weekly plan does not return it to it's origin by the end of the time period? Does this plane simply wink out of existence and begin its cycle again? Alternatively, is there a way to make a 48hr or monthly repeat cycle? I'd swear I've seen this in the past in other flightplans.txt files, but could be mistaken. I ask because I'm programming a flight series which takes two full GMT days to complete (SIA-LAX-SIA)
