TTools for MSFS Forum

I need help. I recently backdated my KJFK to 1979, in preperation for installing RetroAI's files (Who wouldn't want to go back to the 70's? :D) But after compiling the American Airlines 1976 file in TTools to see if it would work, I went to a number of American hubs (O'hare, JFK, DFW) All of which have enough and big enough parking to handle the old AAL 741's, and there was no traffic at all. I run FS9 on Window's 7, started both FS9 and TTools as an admin, and the compile went without a hitch, and i verified the traffic file was in the correct folder, and that all the aircraft it needed were correctly referenced in the 'Aircraft.txt' file. What could be my problem?

When you download a woai ai traffic package and the ai flightplans in that package are based on the 2008 summer season(example), would you need to change fsx to that year and season to have the ai traffic showup? I am tempted to start using woai if this is not the case... Thanks. :)

Does anyone have any Janet flight plans, or better yet, traffic files, for FSX? I have been trying to update a FS2002 Janet filghtplans.txt with AIFP and have not had any success. In FS9 I had them but lost them all when my computer crashed. Thanks, Bob.

I want to reroute all my AI traffic from VHHH to VHHX to populate my FlyTampa scenery. The way I did it with FS9 by simply changing all VHHH references to VHHX in the TrafficAircraft bgl in FSX/Scenery/World/Scenery folder does not appear to work in FSX. Can anyone point me to the right track please, I am not all familiar with the TT tool? Initially FSX did not respond (hence the title of this topic) but I could reinstate the old traffic bgl to its earlier status and FSX now responds normally. Thank you.

TTools made it so simple to do this in FS9. Is there a simple way (utility) to accomplish this in FSX? Thx

I have a question regarding compiled AI flight plans. When a flight plan has been compiled into a bgl file does it contain all the information it needs regarding the aircraft used in the flight plan? I'd like to to some house cleaning in my SimObjects\Airplanes folder and I'd like to know if removing aircraft from this directory that have been used in AI flightplans will prevent those flightplans from displaying in FSX. My thought was to create a new sub directory (SimObjects\AI Aircraft) to hold all my AI aircraft but I'm worried that the existing compiled flightplans will not be able to reference this directory.Any advise would be much appreciated.Cheers,Dave W

i dcont know if everyone feels the same way but the ai sounds are terrible, every jet sounds the same...there arent any real life sounds for ai planes or instructions on how to work with that.. does anyone know what to do about that aweful annoying sound when the aircraft passes by that is trhe same for any aircraft

Hi Folks.I have been making and compiling Flight Plans for some years now, but I have a quick question. After creating and then compiling into TT Tools , (lets call it) Flightplans_package_1, Airports_package_1 and finally Aircraft_package_1, a Traffic_package_1.bgl file will be created. So far so good.If I wished to transfer 'Package 1' on to another computer, so I could see AI traffic relating to this package and lets say all the relevant aircraft folders where installed correctly, could I simply cut and paste the package_1.bgl file into the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\scenery folder without having to compile again.Any ideas or answer…

G'day all,Having a little bit of a problem compiling some flight plans I made.I'm getting the following Error:" ERROR in file C:\Line 6 (error location shown in red) :AC#380,A6-A parameter is missing, expecting the AI percent here."Just wondering if anyone could please explain to me why this error is occurring.I've tried compiling other FPs and they've worked fine.Cheers,EK433B77W!

OK, here's my newest dilemma. I have the Guzman Concorde. Now the 3D panel allows me to see my nose visor lower and raise, however my 3D, and outside views show no change whatsoever. Any ideas please?

I just got UT2 yesterday and I have noticed that there are alot of the, Default airline called something like Dadeulus or something like that. How can I remove that "FAKE" Airline?

Hi all, I have a question about 2 flight plans I made: AC#60,N799FX,35%,24,IFR,14:00:00,00:00:00,230,F,7790,KPDX,17:00:00,00:00:00,220,F,7791,KSFO,20:00:00,00:00:00,240,F,7792,KMFRAC#61,N899UP,35%,24,IFR,14:05:00,00:00:00,230,F,7880,KPDX,17:05:00,00:00:00,220,F,7881,KSFO,20:05:00,00:00:00,240,F,7882,KMFRthe planes take off and land at the locations just fine except when they return to KMFR they come in on visual rather than IFR, like I said they land ok, I am just curious as to why they switch over to visual approach coming back to KMFR. The runways are ILS. Thanks in advance for any input Dave

I wanted to let you all know that a new AI model is available to populate the virtual skies, the MD-11 from Globusworld.They are known for their repaints and flightplans (often for overlooked airlines), and this is their first foray into AI models.

Hey Guys,i'm about to go grazy and do really hope that someone can help. About 5 Months ago, i've had some trouble to get VTBS running on FS9, since it was never part of the game there was no AI traffic at all. After a few days, i found some step by step tutorial here in some forum on how to get my traffic 06 to use VTBS instead of VTBD. I wrote it down back then, and guess what. I can't find it anymore. Now i've got Incheon Airport downloaded, but My traffic uses Kimpo Airport for Asiana and Korean. I've tried to schedule a new bgl, but it did not work at all. Could one of you maybe give a step by step on how to do it? Starting with the Dump Airport List. I did already c…

So after a very long while from having to update my AI I reinstalled FSX because of constant crashing caused by something I could not find. So I have been reinstalling AI packages with the WOAI installer and nothing shows up.I have the sliders to the right for traffic, AFCADs installed for airports, and the traffic files and aircraft are all in the correct places. The only thing I have changed from FSX being stock is deleting the Traffic.bgl file to get rid of default traffic. What could be wrong now?

I have figure out from the last few messages here on how to get aircraft on the list and get ai working and its great...but im wondering how to advance the AI and get them to fly out of different runways and different side taxiways, if thats what they are called (coulered in black) comiong from the north parking spots (checkered) and then the runway 27/9 which is also a checkered color. How do i get them to randomly hold shot at random hold short nodes along the main runway...any idea...or is thais impossible??

ok this might confuse some of you...i used to have a few aircraft doing touch and goes at cyxu my local airport in AI, i had the alphasim p-47 and the chipmink doing touch and goes. Ive since removed the aircraft both from the flightplan and from the aircraft list...but today after making new plans i see this....dont know if you can see this but there are 2/ aircraft ive removed from both aircraft and flightplan...ive tried deleting the bgl and it keeps coming back..anyone know what to do with this...and also now i dont have any flightplans for cranbrook but there seems to be aircraft i had in the aircraft list and the flightplans text file that are doing what i asked for…

Hi, ive been doinf alot of flights around cranbrook lately and loving each moment but something is missing, AI!! I have a few ai packages from PAI installed but not GA AI so i thouight maybe i could create a few flight plans and i looked up how t do it and mike stanton's website gave me alot of help, but im wondering about adding aircrft to the list so i could make whatever aircraft i wanted to takeoff from there....is it possible to add aircraft to the list??thanks in advance...and can i just add the ai text into the flightplan.txt file??FPAC#58,N1342,50%,4Hr,VFR,12:00,,025,R,0000,CYXC,14:00,,025,R,0000,CYXCAC#20,N1382,50%,4Hr,VFR,12:00,,025,R,0000,CYXC,14:00,,025,R,0000…

Several years ago I purchased a programme called Trafficboard created by Josef Dernberger. To date it is the easiest AI programme I have ever come across. For some reason I just can't get on with any other AI programmes.It was so easy to import flight plans, creat new ones and export to FS.....I've recently changed my PC and now using windows 7 but this programme will not work.I've tried to contact the creator but guess he has retired from flight sim programming.Is there anyone out there who would be prepared to have a look at it if I email the files and see if it will work with windows 7?I'm more than happy to pay for any time spent on this.Failing that is there a very s…

I've assigned BaE146 and RJ100 Ai aircraft to flights in and out of London City Airport (EGLC). Whilst the aircraft depart okay they're not landing and just perform a missed approach.For those that don't know this airport has a glideslope much steeper than normal for environment reasons so inbounds descend quite rapidly. Watching the 146's approach they only attempt to land half-way along the runway which doesn't leave them enough space to stop so they just go around.The modified AFCAD is supplied by Ultimate Traffic so I would expect the ILS etc. to be correct. From my limited experience with AFCADs the ILS looks to be in the correct position but with Ai landing so far a…

Hi guys,I've just installed Bangkok (VTBS) into FS9, and I'm attempting to get FS traffic to arrive and depart etc.I believe I can use TTools to decompile the traffic BGL file(s), then load the flightplans text file into Wordpad and use Search and Replace to change all instances of the old airport's ICAO code to VTBS. I'm having a few problems with the decompile. I can't seem to get the program to locate my traffic files. I've read the readme file but it doesn't seem to help. On the right hand side there are no traffic files showing.I'm already using MyTraffic AI.Cheers,Ben

I have been out of Flight Sim for a number of years, and I've recently upgraded fro FS8 to FS9. I'm now slowly removing the Soars and the Airwaves and replacing them with real-world planes and more flight plans. I kind of like to do this manually. I know there are packages out there, but I'd just rather do this the old-fashioned way.I've heard that there are tools out there for working with the AI traffic file. I can edit the file by hand and deal with the TTools compiler, and I'm having no trouble doing it. But, it's time-consuming and kind of tedious.So, what's become available in my long absence? Thanks.

I hope this is the right forum for this.Even though I know the basics, I'm relatively new to this, and I was wondering if it was possible to land AI aircraft on two runways simultaneously? I have FS2002, TTools 2.02, and Afcad 1.4. I have added about 80 flightplans with TTools, and modified a few airports with Afcad. I am finding though that with all the FPs I'm adding with TTools, the two runways I'm using (O'Hare specifically) are getting rather worked. I use one for takeoffs and one for landings. Is there some other control I'm not aware of, do I need a new program, or can it not be easily done with the FS I have?Any help appreciated.

Okay, I finally got may WOAI working but now I can not get my aircraft to park at the proper gates. I have NO duplicate AFCADs and this is happening at ALL airports, yes I have updated the AFCADs using AFX...(never had a problem before). I did a clean install of windows (with all updates) and FS9 (with 9.1 update) to try and resolve this issue...no luck in that. What would be causing this problem? I have explored all the probable causes and still clues as why this is happening. :( :( Thanks.77L
