I have ut, and am trying to tweak a couple airports. Through afcad I can edit existing overlays, but I don't know how to add one. I've tried to create a new one through ut, and tried to export/import an overlay I saved under a new name, but when I open it up, it opens under the previous name...example2mdw--I save and then export as 3mdw.when I import it, it won't open as 3mdw, but 2mdw.Whadda am I doing wrong?

I have searched the NAVAIDs in AFCAD and there I can find most NDBs but not the Outer Marker NDBs, but still the outer marker NDBs is visible in the map-view/GPS. Where is the information stored that makes the outer marker NDBs appear in the map-view/GPSI have added a new Outer Marker NDB outside a new runway with EasyNavs. I have added it to the NDB .bgl-file in the directory drive:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFS2002SCENEDBWesthemusseScenery.The NDB works just fine however it does not show in the Map-view or GPS. How do I make it appear there?Thank you

How do you export NDBs (and other navadis) from AFCAD?I have put in a new NDB in one of the existing NDB-documents. And I would like to export that NDB-document to a text-file, in order to share the "add-on" with other users, and use the export as a backup, in case I have to reinstall all FS2002.Thank you in advanceMike

Hey guys,Got Airport 2002 for father's day....(wonderful kids ;)) anyways, my Project AI aircraft are not showing up at the airports. Do I have to edit this Airport 2002 to add gates, or do I have to do this in AFCAD? Even if the PROJECT AI planes don't have a place to park, shouldn't they still show up and just disappear? Airports in 2002 vol are:1. KDFW2. KATL3. KLAX4. KORD5. London Heathrow6. Charles DeGaulle 7. MunichAny ideas guys?Doc

I'm using UT and have modified the AFCAD for my own personal use of SImFlyers PHL. However after shifting a few gates my AI aircraft all float above the ground in this scenery. Any ideas how to fix this??Another question I have is, short of reinstalling my FS 2002 how can I put the Piper Cherokee aircraft file back in aircrafts for my AI aircraft which was accidentally deleted somehow??

Hey guys I have been paying attention to the forums regarding using the "not built for AI" planes such as the FFX models. I basically have a grasp on what needs to be done as far as using a different air file for the model to act as AI but what I dont understand is what needs to be changed in the aircraft.cfg file to make it land properly?Is there some links out there that explain how to do this?Thanks.JP

For awhile now I have been looking for AFCADs for the following airports: Islip-Long Island MacArthur (ISP/KISP), Malmo-Sturup Sweden (MMX/ESMS), and Salzburg Austria (SZG/LOWS). With these airports either I could not find a AFCAD for it, or the AFCAD was for a download scenery and not the default airport, so I decided to try and make a AFCAD for these airports myself.What do I need to make a AFCAD and how exactly do I make the AFCAD?

Hi everybody, (hi doctor nick, for those Simpsons fans)I had a quick question about AFCAD files. I'm setting one up for an addon scenery of KFLL I just downloaded. I thought I had it completly finished and everything was working fine. I have a few problems with it. When I select some of the gates to begin at I get a warning that says you are going to collide with another object. I know that I will not collide with another object so I don't know what the problem is. Another thing is, when I fly into the airport on a flight plan, I cannot taxi to a gate, it only gives me the option to taxi for takeoff. Thanks for any help!-Kellan

I've decompiled the traffic.bgl and in looking into the aircraft.txt it doesn't show any military aircraft that I have installed.Can someone please help me?

I have editvoicepack, and it doesn't seem to work. I have almost all of the PAI installer packages. Sometimes, if the callsign was not included in FS, or editvoicepack, it won't read. I imported about 200 callsigns, and they still say "Airbus N700MS" or "993" instead of "Air Portugal" or "Air Malta 993." Can anyone help me?

Greetings,I'm just learning how to set up AI traffic and I specifically want to try to set up vessels moving around the water under AI control while I attempt to fly aircraft in formation. Basically, want to set up video captures for US Coast Guard training development.Granted, on other option would be to use multi-player and have one person drive the boat while someone else flys the aircraft. But, I'd rather set this all up on a standalone for individual use.I've downloaded TTools, but still not sure if what I'm trying to do is not outside the scope of FS2002 AI.Any suggestions...?Thanks, Dave

I have discovered that simply entering an ATIS frequency and name via the Ttools menu does not work. What exactly does it take to actually install a working ATIS for an FS2002 airport?Stamatis

Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to make my AI aircraft unselectable in the sim for me to fly. I have heard that if they are not selectable as flyable aircraft then your sim doesnt take so long to load up. I am looking for a way to disable them, so to speak, yet still have them buzzing around as AI aircraft, as Ultimate Traffic has done with their models. Is this controlled by an entry in the aircraft CFG? Thanks.

I don't know how to install flightplans. I downloaded the nececary airline aircraft for the plans. Now, how do I install the plans? I think I put the aircraft in their respective PAI aircraft folder, right?

Hi All,I recently added Canadian North flight plans to my fp database and when I go to Yellowknife airport, aircraft that are supposed to taxi onto runway 15 to take off from runway 33 just stop and hold short of runway 09/27. Any good documentation out there on how to make aircraft taxi onto a runway, turn around and take off?Thanks for the help!!Mikehttp://www.members.shaw.ca/madamo/boeingsig.jpg

I have installed Holger Sandmann's AI Helicopter 101 Jet Ranger Starter Kit. I have not been able to observe any AI 206b aircraft to date. Holger has suggested a number of possibilities for me to investigate and, having done so, I now think I am messing up in the TT area. Hence posting here. I use TT Traffic Magician. The only thing I can think of that might be an indication of my problem is that the Airport.bak file does not show the heliports (CYV2 for example) whereas the Airport.txt file does. I note also that the CYVR position minutes differ in both files. Should both the bak and txt files be identical? Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks.Gary (CAM3) :-rotor PS…

I made a new afcad file for an airport. It was initially an uncontrolled airport, but I wanted traffic. Got the traffic working great and the AFCAD done. The only issue I have now is the traffic will not land. They only overshoot the runway. I've checked for errors in the AFCAD file, but find none... any ideas?Thanks

hello all, i have now learnt to downlaod ai traffic,use afcad etc and found a new hobby watching aircraft at airports! can do with some help again, is there another way to move planes that land to where i wan't them rather than using ,AITM,which at the moment looks a bit daunting, or is it easyer than it looks? thanks and regards.

I've gotten a load of PAI flight plans. Now, i've downloaded a seperate flight plan for American Eagle. Will FS2002 read both flight plans, or do they need to be incorprated together???And by the way, my flight sim experience is slowly becoming alive thanks to you guys. Thanks for all your help guys!!! :)More questions to come, I'm sure.Doc

Ok hope I can explain......lolI'm adding my first 727-000, and 737-400 aircraft to my sim. Some of the models are the FFX/SGA, and Mike Stone's aircraft. My question is this. Do all the aircraft need to be on 1 cfg page in notepad?? Confused?? Here's what I'm talking about.Rough copy so you can follow....[Flightsmim 0]Boeing 727-200 Deltaatctextureetcetc[flightsim 1]Boeing 727-200 American Airlinesatctexblahblah[flightsim 2]Boeing 737-400 United Airlinesatctexyada yadaSo, does every plane reguardless of model need to be together in order to fly/use a AI, or is it just broken down into model types?[flightsim 0, 1, 2, 3,...etc]Boeing 727, your airline[flightsim 0, 1, 2, 3..…

I have found some very good AI aircraft by AI Aardvark that perform well with moving surfaces and have a low frame rate hit. Project AI also have some good files but have become "hard to download" the models for their airplanes. You can find a million texture files for the PiA aircraft on their web site but not the models. Where can you get the models (specifically the B1900 and the CRJs)?Are there any other "good" AI aircraft available?http://iflyrc.hypermart.netI'd Rather Be Flyin'

i was going over the instructions for making new parking spaces/gates for airports and the afcad file says that if i wanted to do just one or two, then i don't need to be specific in my placements, but if i wanted to do a whole section of the facility, i have to get fsuipc, afcad and line them all up as close to the taxiway as possible. WHY?what's the difference between placing one or two parking spaces and placing 10?

Everything is starting to come together as far as the cfg file thing. This is my next question.My Aircraft txt. Say I have a CRJ-200 Comair, which I do. I have one D/L of the plane. Since I have only 1 model, can I repeat the aircraft txt, with this 1 plane.AC#37,400,"Delta Connection CRJ-200"AC#38,400,"Delta Connection CRJ-200" AC#39,400, "" "" "" "" "" "" ""AC#40,400, and so on and so on.......Speak up you PROS!!!!!! :)And thanks to all who have helped me out these past few days.DOC

Has anyone really studied the relationship between the two? TTools say's "This specifies at what level of the FS2K2 'traffic percent setting' (on the ATC setting window', this flight will appear. If this is 56%, then the AI flight will appear if the traffic percent control is 56% or higher. If you run with 100 percent all the time, then this value is not important." Like many, I've downloaded many "real life" airline schedules only to find myself bombed with unrealistic numbers of planes ( the Delta schedule from the Realistic AI-Routes website put 80+ planes alone at KATL at once) Anyway, I've been trying to understand the relationship between the traffic setting and th…

All of my AI traffic is gone! I guess, when you replace the default planes, it gets excluded from the flightplan until you shuffle it using AITM. I shuffled it, and all of my AI traffic is gone, even my project AI traffic. It shows up on the timetable in AITM, but it is not actually there! Help!
