TTools for MSFS Forum

I need assistance in how to replace current AI Aircraft and AI Flight Plans with updated ones. I would like the simplest/least confusing way to do this as I have tried it before and got lost. Result was double flights of the same exact flight. I tried decompiling the old AI Flight plan but they are still intact. Not sure why. Many Thanks.BrgdsMike

The Ai package that I have contains a traffic Bgl as well as the flight plan files (3) The instruction is to recompile the Traffic file using the flight plan files. My problem is that The program will not allow me to delete the existing Traffic file. Any help please??

i am having problems with ttools it wont let me compile flight plans to FSX!

I ask here because I'm looking for a replacement of Rana's FS Manager's AI traffic functions...and that program uses TTools. I've asked everywhere about suggestions for an AI utility which performs ALL the functions that FS Manager did for AI traffic...but that is able to open the long, complicated traffic BGL filenames that are installed in FS9 by World of AI packages...without much luck. The suggestions that actually work do not perform the functions that Rana's program did for AI management. Most of the suggested programs will not run (yes, I have every Net framework and blah, blah installed LOL! ;)) I would be perfectly happy with FS Manager but since going to the ind…

Hi to all again... how do I change departure runway assignments for AI traffic?I'm using the FS9 RPLL (Ninoy Aquino Intl' Airport) scenery, damn planes taking off and landing at RWY 31, while the real one have its departure/arrival runway at RWY 13...I have no problems with RWY 06/24 on this scenery though...I know its an AFCAD issue... I just don't know how to reassign departures/arrivals to RWY 13...thanks...

My AF2 bgl file displays gate numbers which are obsolete based on the latest chart. I want to edit the Afcad file and change the gate numbers to the correct new numbers.How can this be accomplished if at all? What do I need to do?thanksDom

I am working on a small airport (KDYT, Duluth MN)...It has both land and water runways...Is there a way I can make float-planes do TNG on just the water runways? So far, they only land on the concrete, which is a bit awkward! Thanks,Steve in Kansas

Hi: Trying to learn this AI stuff...Have been trying to get an airplane to do a continuous touch and go circuit around the airport...Can't seem to quite get it right...Here's what I have so far:AC#102,N1051,75%,1H,VFR,01:13:00,TNG00:00:00,010,F,6820,KHYS,01:13:00,TNG00:00:00,010,F,6820,KHYSCan someone look it over and tell me what is wrong? I am assuming that the departure and destination airport are the same, and the times determine how long the plane will fly the circuit, but I still am missing something... Thanks a lot...Steve

Hi again to all...I want to ask if there's any program out there that can open an FS mdl and unfolding it - turning the 3d model to a flattened object with multiple pieces that can be assembled physically - i.e. like a model made from sheet material...I expect some copyright issues, but this will be just for personal use... I'll be using models to teach somebody as well as teach on the simulator... I'm helping someone get an F/O rating for the King Air 350...any feedback will be much appreciatedthanks guys!!!

I installed Ray Smith's AFCAD for CYVR and modified it by adding parking for cargo aircraft and placing them in their proper location.I opened, saved and complied the AFCAD a few times as I was not satisfied with the placement of aircraft. I added the AFCAD to my Addon Scenery\Scenery folder. When I exit the flight and close FSX I see there are numerous "Cannot find AFCAD" error messages on my desktop. The airport scenery and AI aircraft are all visible so I am not lacking in that area but for the sake of learning can someone tell me why I am receiving the message?I read that if an AFCAD is compiled many times that the boundaries shrink, is this the issue in my case?Thank…

Maybe this is a simple problem...I have removed all 'Traffic_' bgl's... including FSX's standard traffic bgl, except the boat traffic bgl from the 'Scenery,World, scenery' folder...thats fine except I am still getting stock Ai traffic showing up in the Sim.I do not have any other traffic bgls in any other folder and have done a file search for all files with the word 'traffic' in them and still I have stock Ai showing up in the sim...is it possible for traffic to show up even if it is not prefixed with the name 'traffic' in the filename and if so what could it be named and what size could it be (assuming its the stock Ai traffic file)...so that I could search by file size…

Hi all,Pardon the FNG question. I've been trying to set up flights between different airports and a "round robin" flight where an aircraft takes off then returns to the airport where it started. I put in what I thought ere reasonable flight times but the aircraft usually flys a lot longer.Any ideas??TIA

Well I've finally upgraded and can enjoy FSX.But there seems to be issues around the simple joy of adding my own AI Traffic. I've searched for a month on the forums, but I could not find any single source for a comprehensive AI Traffic guide for FSX. Is there a document out there that I can get?I know TTools no longer applies in FSX. I find AI work tedious, but very rewarding. I don't want a package. More fun creating my own AI aviation world.OK. This is what I have learned regarding FSX:1. The SDK utility is cumbersome. In a word, junk.2. I can use FS9 fomatting for the AI flightplans, but I need to then run them through a .BGL utility that converts the files to FSX form…

Good day all,I'm having a fiddle with some of the AFCAD textures...Does anyone know what file is used by AFCAD for "Water"?Thanks in advance.

could some one post a video of ttools? using this tool is very confusing to me, help, pleasseeee!!!!!

I have created several flights using TTools. Short flights, such as a series of touch & gos, I have no problem with. I can "hook" onto them via the Traffic Explorer and follow them completely around the circuit from start-up to shut-down. However, when I start a flight lasting 30+ minutes, approximately 13 minutes into the flight, the AI airplane disappears, it drops out of the Traffic Explorer, and my flight returns to my departure airport with the spot view upon my own airplane.I am running FS2004 on a Windows 7/Home Premium 64bit system with plenty of memory and a 1GB graphics card.I have read all of the documentation that I can find both for AFCAD,TTools, and the …

Hi,Background:Have recently downloaded ARNZ AIS-AI Concorde using AVSIM download. Although the WOAI Installer 2.4 did not seem to recognize the zip file, I managed to install aircraft using the procedure mentioned in the doc file. Also managed to see the existing aircraft schedule in TTools after re-naming the bgl file to Traffic_Concorde.... (without Traffic infront of the downloaded bgl file name, TTools did not show the schedule). Subsequently have scheduled both BA and AF aircraft to fly some routes using my adon airports - with plenty of the gates available and also with proper parking codes for both airlines. Also have applied the same parking codes to the aircraft …

Hi, I had a question regarding the WOAI packages that are not available because Charles Dayruff withdrew permission for his CRJs/ERJs to be used.I heard that WOAI is looking to find replacement models. I am seeing alot of new paints appearing from Charles himself for his beautiful new AI Malcontent CRJs......is there any possiblility that WOAI will use the AI Malcontent models in the future?I saw a note on his release of his CRJ200 recently in the avsim library, he says at the end "See you on January 24th." I can only assume its some announcement of some sort, maybe his website will be updated, who knows. But I think it would be great to see Charles's regional aircra…

Hi All!Ive started getting the most irritating error message,whenever I try to compile (see enclosed image).Traffic tools hilights my altitude for the flight, and tells me that it should eirher be an "R" for registry or "F" forflight number,while these values are already entered properly.The error message is an error itself.Its to the point where I can no longer compile new flight plans.It does however recompile existing plans without proplem.Replacing the Ttools exec. doesn't help.I give up. Any ideas. PLEASE!THANX (enclosure)

Hi all, as first I apologize if such an issue has been discussed before, I've had a brief search in the forum but I haven't found anything exactly matching the problem I'm experiencing, but maybe I haven't searched so finely......Using FS9.I'm slowly replacing my old Justflight Traffic2005 AI with real world fps and AIA/TFS/PAI/AIG etc. aircraft, all downloaded from Avsim and other available sources. At the moment I'm something around the 40% of the replacement.Therefore I'm currently using a sort of 'hybrid' traffic.bgl file, partly made (the part updated by me) of weekly, @, fps, and partly (the Traffic2005 part) by 24hrs, non @, fps. I'm compiling (TTools) my fps to a…

I have AI traffic on my old computor,Windows XP,and I like to transfer my traffic on to my new computor,Windows 7 64 ,what is the safest way to achieve this??Can I simply transfer the map of AI traffic ,TT tools ,aircraft ,...

I know this is a subject that appears on these forums regularly and prior to posting, I have trawled the forums looking for an answer, but with no real luck. I am using Zhyhulskiy

Hi, I have installed an addon for some airfields complete with its own Ai and its running fine, i want to add a few more Ai of my own to it using TTools , can someone just point me in the right direction, i can't remember where to find the new Ai list and their flight plans, I have used Afcad and TTools but it was many years ago and i can't remember the procedure! Thanks for any help, Roger.

Hi All, I lost my custom made flight plan so I am installing WOAI. I have noticed that WOAI has a separate traffic file for each flight plan, unlike PAI which installs the FPs into one traffic file. Question: Do you leave them separate (which FS9 says more than one FP may cause conflicts) or do you manually integrate them along? How do you all make it work without problems? :( Thanks,77L

Hey,I
