TTools for MSFS Forum

I have now been searching all over the internet for FSPainter BA A319 and UA 762/763 aircraft without any luck. Does anyone know if such repaints exist? Btw, I already have these AC in PAI, but they just don't look right next to my FSP lineup.- Oyvind

I am looking for some military AI flight plans like B-2's at Whiteman or Stealth's at Area 51. I have tried creating some but they don't work. Please help. Thanks, Bob.

I am wondering if there is a utility out there that will automatically create the entries needed for the aircraft.cfg within each folder..it is very hard doing many of these for multiple textures..are there any tools that can help. ALready have the renum.exe..i thought someone mentioned something about a texture checker...this would be a great program if there was one available. If you have the textures installed in the folders, just some utility to make these entries easier.Thanks for any help anyone can offer

Much Thanks for the UA A320 referral. Another missing AI aircraft is an FS Painter A320 in Jet Blue livery. Anybody know if one is available? All I get in searches is Mike Stone's, which isn't well suited for AI operations.Thanks for any support!!!Rick

Is there a way to place static aircraft at an airport? For example, I'd like to have a few rows of F-15s at an AFB, but I don't really need them to fly around.

Hi all,This problem might have been raised on this forum, but anyhow I didn't find it.I have Sheremetyevo (Moscow) with two parallel runways and made an overlay afcad for the two separate apron's (Domestic) UUE1 and International UUEE. So, each side has its own runway (and only one). Strange enough, the planes which land on UUEE taxi first a few meters to the right terminal, then make a turn and finally go to the wrong apron, although no taxiways are drawn in this overlay part of the airport. So, while UUEE becomes gradually empty, UUE1 is filling upAny ideas? Capt Barfbag?Robert

Does anyone make a Dash-8 in the blue USAir colors? Thanks Jeff :-jumpy

i'm starting to rework my current version of KPIT and i was wondering if there is a way to have certain airlines go to a specific part of the airport when they land.for example have all the US Air park at the main terminal/gate/parking spot while having others (NW,AA...) go to the gates that are further west and have cessna's and other general traffic (FED EX, UPS) head to another part of the airport.i know there is something called aitm but i have trouble with that since there's an error message saying there is a file that is not available.is there a way to rework an airport without aitm as an aide?

I have uploaded several third party AFCAD files with different degrees of success. I do have one issue that has got me stumped right now. In SOME airports I find a problem when an AI plane lands, taxis to the gate, parks and then starts up again to leave on its next scheduled leg. When it is time to start taxiing out of the gate, the plane disappears! Obviously, it found the gate when it landed so why this behaviour? As stated, this only happens on some airports. Any insights would be appreciated.Gil Diaz

Hi!I

Hi,My RAFCAD EGLL for Gary Summons's London Airports is ready. Everything works OK apart from one annoying thing, which I can't seem to remedy.Aircraft which park at T4 or cargo have to cross the active runway to get there.Once they reach the hold short node just before the active, they are quite rightly told to hold short for the departing aircraft.However, once this aircraft has departed and the next one is teeing up in the runway, there is plenty of time for the aircraft to cross the active, but it never happens. It is never again contacted by ground control to continue taxiing and after fifteen minutes it dissapears.If I remove the hold short nodes, as soon as it con…

Alright I understand the concept of overlays for arrivals and departures. But how do I implement them into the design. Do I close all the runways except the one I want to use for Arrivals and the same for the overlay for the departure? Thanks Jeff :-hmmm

i recently tested a plane i installed and i went to KSTL for the test. when the plane landed, it completely disappeared as soon as it hit the runway. i know this has to do with afcad and that's not the problem i have.my issue concerns why there were planes at those spots at the terminal in which the "fault finder" listed as being unconnected to the airport.if they are unconnected, there should not have been planes there at all. in fact there were planes there and they did ask for clearance to taxi for departing, but never moved after that (due to the unconnected nodes).in short, how and why are there planes in spots that are unconnected to begin with?eh!

Guys,Is there a tool/way to automatically assign your AI a/c to all flights in a new flt plan? I only have about 10 a/c in far east liveries and have downloaded flt plns for JAL, Singapore, etc. Would like to be able to use my limited # of AI a/c on all these flights to keep from having most of them eliminated. Relatively new user of afcad/ttools/aitm. Thx for any help!Note: Apologize if you've seen this post twice. Posted very early this am, but can't find my original post since new format change.Regards,

My apologies if this question has been answered before but a comprehensive search of this forum has not revealed the answer to my problem.I have been given an addon scenery for an airfield which does not exist in flight sim.I followed exactly the directions in the AFCAD Manual and created the basic entry for the new airport, using the SEED file from a nearby airport, suitably amended.I then developed the AFCAD file to include:RunwayTaxiwaysAll Comms frequenciesAll appropriate hold short points3 GA small gates to test the sceneryI ran the fault finder and was pleased to see "no faults found".I inserted the new airport details in the Airports.txt file.I then created 3 fligh…

Howdy:calling all experts in .air and aircraft.cfg file setup, particularly with respect to AI traffic: could you please have a look at my post in the aircraft design forum?http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...g_id=9515&page=Thanks a bunch!On my side, I now feel comfortable to answer questions about setting up AFCAD files for really tight spaces: my CVN74 Stennis carrier file with 4 "gates" is operational - yeah!Cheers, Holger

i have read and read every help document out there and i still am lost. is there anybody out there that can give me a detailed step by step instruction for manual installs once i get past the texture install.things i am lost on: how to make the aircraft cfg file match the flight plans(no registration or flight # for the cfg file)...getting the right flight plan for the right plane...and so much more i can't even begin to start.i have sat through medical clsses and understood what the professor has said, but i can't get this???? what's up with that!

hello all, i have overlay for los angles to use all 4 runways, following instructins in afcad, i have learnt to put in some ai traffic to fill it up ok,how do i program the aircraft to use the north side of the airport i am not sure about this yet, i have klax and 2lax in fs , any help would be appreciated , and i know this has nothing to do with flight simming except the time i spend on it !!!but today 14 april i have been married 41 yrs . thanks and regards to all for the help.

Hi,is there a way to change the default (18.000) transition altitude that the AI uses. At my airport the TA is 7900 msl.It would be nice to hear realistic clearences for FL160, instead of altutude 16.000Please help if you can,Assen.

is there anybody that could give me a hypothetical flightplan for the following pic...the AC# would be 41008

Well, these are the mistakes I usually make:When you add an aircraft to the folder, makes sure the the "flightsim.x" lines (flightsim.3, flightsim.4, etc.) are in order, starting at zero, there are no duplicates within the same file, and there are no holes. Anything else and any planes after the last in-sequence one will not show up.Make sure the text after Title= is copied EXACTLY into aircraft.cfg. All spaces, capitalization and punctuation must be preserved.Assuming that your flightplans.txt file is correct and TCompiler didn't give you any errors, I'd suggest running AITM. The latest version has a check which looks for planes in the aircraft.txt file which it has t…

Hi,I've nearly finished a RAFCAD for EGLL.I'm beta testing it at the momemt and everything is fine except for the fact that for example in T1,where planes park park in a "u" or cul-de-sac on opposite sides of the bay, but use a central taxi lane. When one plane wants to depart and one wants to enter they face each other and then dissapear after fifteen minutes.How do I get around this? Do I add a hold short node just outside of the parking "u" and keep getting errors when I run fault finder, or is there another way around it?ChrzPiggin

Well you are at the beginning of a new and rewarding time.You have successfully installed the aircraft- well done.In order to have the aircraft recognized as AI traffic you need to do two things.1) Allocate numberCall up your list of aircraft.txt in your text editor and you will see all the AC#.... numbers and titles such as AC#1273,405,"B737-400 Qantas" or whatever numbering system is there.You need a new number for your Northwest aircraft. Insert a new line and add the new number and then the description exactly as you have it on your aircraft.cfgTo be really safe I would recommend that you copy and paste the description - even an extra blank will stop the aircraft show…

hi everyone....i need to reset all the default airports back. when trying to restore all the files thru AFCAD 1.4, a DOS box pops up for a quick second displaying the message "Bad Command or File Name"...disappears...then a box appears telling me that it can't find a CAB file. i have the correct FS CD's in...actually have tried all 3..to no avail. i have a zip file that contains ALL the original files in the AFD directory...my question is this: if i just copy all those original bgl's back into the AFD directory, will that reset all original airports??will that also mess up any add-on airports i have like German Airports?what route should i take here?thanks for any he…

Ok, this is going to seem really stupid, and I will prob. kill myself when I hear the answer. But..what do I need in the folder for AI aircraft? example...lets say I download an AC that I want to use strictly for AI..but it comes with everything to fly it..(ie panel) and it shows up in the aircraft I can choose from. What do I need to get rid of just to have it as an AI aircraft. Im guessing Model, texture, air.file, and AC.cofig. Is that correct? Thanks Jeff :-doh
