Do the aircraft numbers in all aircraft files need to be unique?I downloaded rafai.zip, installed the AF2 bgls and compiled the flightplans ok. However, certain aircraft do not show in FS9. I also checked the flightplans using yRoute and they appeared ok.What else can I check?George

I've been using AFCAD successfully with CoF for some time now but recently, I've found a bug that makes the sim crash after I make an alteration at the airport, like a new parking space, for instance. I'm not even trying to do anything with traffic, I just want to add some spaces but now when I go to the airport I've just saved, the sim acts like it's going to load the flight, gets to 0% and then boots me out of the sim without so much as an error message.Anyone seen this before?Thanks for any help.[/size]http://dogcreek.allwebco.com/

This is a really neat Program (Thank You Microsoft), but it would be better if there was a way to save the Flights in it to a Permanent AI flight. The program shows that more IS possible than what we have now. I am sure that someone down the road will write a program that will capture the flights created in explorer into a traffic.BGL file but I thought putting the idea up might egg a few programmers on. :-sun1

I've been away from the forums for awhile, so I apoligize if this question has been answered.My link to FS Painter's site is defunct. So I'm lost. Has FS Painter moved or disbanded?Thanks!!!Rick

I am not able to get ATC to send me to the proper parking slots. My AI are fine. I have used the AC editor to make sure my Aircraft are properly set up to go to the parking slots but the tower wont send me there.

If you are like me and want to know in advance where you will be parking your aircraft when you land you can create your own personal parking spot by enlarging your parking to the largest radius +10. I found that by "stacking" parking spaces on to of each other with a radius for each of 200 feet I can get my taxi to the same spot no matter what aircraft I fly.

I am relatively new to ttools and have been adding some planes and textures etc for some airports. I have plenty of parking space and also plently of runway length, started doing them at heathrow but:The planes appear, but never taxito the runway and take off.Why is this? I even substituted the plane for a standard original plane but still it never taxied and took off. Any help would be appreciated greatly. JHere is one of the flight plans I ised and the one I tested to see if it works...which it doesnt.AC#423,CS-TEI,10%,WEEK,IFR,6/14:38:54,6/16:46:31,150,F,5156,EGLL,6/18:09:19,6/20:16:56,170,F,5157,LPPTThe plane is a Air Portugal A320, if that helps?

Hello Folks,What changes do I make to use flyable planes as AI?I would like to use small Cessna size aircraft as AI traffic. What do I need to change on the flyable planes to make them more frame rate friendly AI traffic? Do I just delete the panel folder? Or does any know where I can get small AI use only planes? All I keep finding is large Boeing 737 type AI planes. Thanks for the info,Danny

Dear all,living near EDDF, my most beloved flightplan goes to LEPA, a 2-hours-jump with good visual scenery etc.Having spent some time at both airports in real life, I wondered...Both airports have (at least) dual parallel runways (okay, actually both have 3). With AFCAD, I can assign one rwy each for departure and one for takeoff - does not work for LEPA for whatever reason but at EDDF no problem so far.But, ATC still seems to handle both runways as one - one aircraft can only land on one runway if the OTHER one is clear as well... that differs a lot from spotted real-world ops (especially at FRA, where You often can see a takeoff while another aircraft is on VERY short …

Dear Friends,I have a problem with active runway selection by AI in LEMD (I guess this also happens in several other airports with two runways or more...)LEMD has three runways: 36R/18L - 36L/18R - 15/33. In real life, default assignement for deliveries and departures are:From 0700LT to 2300LT: Dep. 36L - Arr. 33From 2300LT to 0700LT: Dep. 36R - Arr. 33I made a (simulated) flight from LEMD yesterday, at 1130LT, and active runways for departures (as it was being used by AI planes) was 36R. This is wrong.Is there any way of fixing this? Thank you very much in advance.Best regards,

What features would you like to see in a Traffic Tools Helper Application?I am thinking of writing a helper for Traffic Tools for those who are not fluent with editing files on their own.

There was a program for FS2002 traffic that worked with TTools. It was called AirExTT by Nicki de Wet. What this program did was randomly generate AI flight planes for selected aircraft and TTools imported them into FS2002. Anyway, I was wondering if there is a freeware program like this that works with FS2004.

Hello all,the first ALPHA version of my upcoming GA-Trafic generator is on ALPHA test now. Currently I have only a few ALPHA/BETA testers and would be happy to get some more.So if you intrested in GA Traffic, have some time to test ALPHA/BETA versions and willing to share youre time and knowledge with me, contact me with a private message here or post in this thread.Some word about the currently released features and what to come ( + means in next ALPHA, - means planed feature)+ Read all, includes additional AFCAD2 made, installed Airport BGL and use them for GA-Traffic if there are GA parking spaces available+ Use the correct GA registration for the generated traffic+ Us…

hi,does anyone know of a way to have two, non parallel runways active?I'm trying to modify the LLBG afcad so that A/C would be able to take off from Rwy 26 and land on 12. FS however insists on using only 30/12 (the shorter of the two).Normaly 12 is closed for T/O. When I try closing 30 as well (in an attempt to force departures to 26 - the only rwy remaining open) FS just ignores the closure of 12 and directs takeoffs to that runway.Anyone with an idea?Thanks//Mike

I am trying to get CFS2 aircraft to show as AI, but instead one of the default jets shows up. I have :1. change the aircraft name in the aircraft text to match the title in cfg.2. I have made sure the sound is aliased to a working aircraft.3. I have added items to the cfg, following an example of an aircraft that I have gotten to work.What I am I doing wrong and what must I do to fix this situation.Any and all help is appreciated.Joe

Do I understand this correctly:AC#14,N453DD,3%,24Hr,IFR,10:59:53,11:42:36,050,R,0100,KAVP,21:59:56,22:42:39,050,R,0101,KMDTMy default Beech Baron (ac314) will leave KMDT at 10:59 GMT and Arrive at KAVP at 11:42 GMT. Leave KAVP at 21:59 and arrive back at KMDT at 22:42. This will happen every day.If that is correct, then I need some help because after recompiling I never see that aircraft at that time at that departure location.Any help is appreciated.Joe

Being new at using TTools and programming for AI, I made my first attempt today. Rather than try to send an airplane from Point A to B, I decided I would stay at my local field KJAS and try a touch and go program. I downloaded TTools, unzipped the files and then compiled the FS2004 traffic 030528.bgl to come up with my three text files for airports, aircraft and flight plans. For my aircraft, I used the MAAM B-25J Briefing Time. Since this was my first added aircraft, it was #60. I made up the touch and go flight plan based on the illustration in the TTools instructions. After doing another compile, I went to FS9, changed to my KJAS location but did not see the AI air…

I have recently installed an add-on scenery for Zurich which results in my parked AI aircraft all floating about 30ft above the ground. I have tried raising the airport's altitude using Afcad, but this does not solve the problem. I am using Ultimate Traffic. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.Airdog

I have a grave problem with TTools:I start from a perfectly clean flightplans.txt file (from MRAI), but when I try to compile it I get bizarre error messages, usually the compiler points at some ICAO code and tells me "AC# expected".THen, when I check the flightplans.txt file I find that some ICAO codes have been corrupted. FOr instance, KLAX comes up as "KL^X" or EHAM would come up as E!AM, and so on. Can happen to any airport, with any weird signs. Sometimes it has to do with the flightplan.txt-file suddenly having a manual page break (I see that from a copy that I opened in MS WOrd).What can I do??? I have re-installed AITM and TTools several times, just cannot figure …

Dear simmers,I am looking for military AI planes: F16, F4E.F, F5, C130, Eurofighter,Mirage 2000. Especially for a "good" F16.-For the time i use original military planes for the AI traffic, low framerates. There is a method which you copy the entire folder of the specific aircraft to another location, remove the panel folder (some remove the sound folder as well) rename it, and then copy it back to the default FS Aircrafts folder. Also, some changes has to be done inside the Aircraft.cfg file.Does anyone knows these changes that have to be done inside the Aircraft.cfg file?The military planes (original ones - not AI) i use for the moment, travel in low speed. Mostly 255 k…

Hi all,Haven't done much with AI in FS2004 but very impressed with the stuff from project AI, I have skies full of real aeroplanes, a great improvement!I think I understand what's needed to create a succesful flightplan but I have a problem with KSBP. I set up suitable gates for a UAL Beech 1900D that shuttles between KMRY and KSBP. Downloaded the correct textures, modified the aircraft.cfg, added the plane to the aircraft.txt file and everything compiles is TTools. I came across my Beech 1900D flying from KMRY and KSBP and it looks fine, followed it to KSBP, landed ahead of it and waited for it to land.After landing it disappeared, but I can't figure out why, the gates…

I can fake it for jets with superspoilers... I've got active carriers all around the world flying Dino's F-14B. But the taildragger-prophead AI pilots won't use the spoilers. They also don't appear to use brakes (at least until much too late). (needless to mention none of the AI will use a tailhook or be ArrCab compatible) Any ideas on how to stop these guys but-quick on landing? (half of them still taxi back after running off the end of the carrier, while the other half do some really strange things upon rolling off the end of their world *grin*).

Hi,I want to make AI traffic flightplans for the Royal Netherlands Air Force and Belgian Air Force F-16's but i don't know how to make that line with the Airport ID and time's can someone help me with this.Regards,-------------------------------Martijn KosterThe Netherlandshttp://home.hetnet.nl/~burner86/Afbeelding...O%20MARTIJN.jpg

is it posible to make ai traffic do touch and goes at selected airports please reply or email with info or send links to help
