TTools for MSFS Forum

I know Lee Swordy sometimes posts in this forum, so I wanted to make a suggestion for a new feature: mass import.It would be extremely easy if, for example, all txt-files in a map could imported with a few clicks

Hi there,I'm probably one of only a few still using the Trafficdatabase SDK from MS to create my AI flight plans. I now have a problem, I'm starting to make realistic flight plans for EGKK using the PAI aircraft, but once I input the flight plans, and compile the data, I get no aircraft in FS for the specified flight times. Also in the stats director, the files produced show no aircraft activity. If anyone understands what I've just said :-lol could you throw me a fw pointers.Cheers

Hi all, i recently added some gates to JFK, LGA and EWR from a download by another author, but i noticed that when departing airport, ATC doesn't say contact new york depature or new york approach, it says only departure or approach, till i get to boston or washington area, there must be some change to frequencies title in afcad, itried to look it up and comparing to other airports for spelling and so on, i change d few but still all i get is a plain center, departure or approach around new york areaany advise or help or how to change them or spell em in comm freqncies are very appreciated and helpfullMany thxKraamer

Anyone know how to manually add an airport reference point in AFCAD? I found that when I exported one of the defaults, modified it, and then exported again...the airport reference point went away.Boyd BarkerSenior Command CaptainBOS Hub ManagerWestWind AirlinesTry my DF737 Checklist at http://home.houston.rr.com/checklist/checklist.html

I've uploaded ComponentAI v1.0. There are a couple of things to note.ComponentAI now supports flightplans in the formats of both WorldAI and Project AI, so you can mix and match aircraft and flightplans from all sources.The program is now licensed as a demo for 6 months.If you downloaded the Beta version in early August and did not contact me for a license upgrade, and install v1.0 now, the license parameters won't be overwritten for security reasons. For an upgrade, click the Register... button when you start the program, and contact [email protected] by October 1 with the Customer Identification Number given in the dialogue box.Netscape users, if you …

Hi all, Simple question I hope. I have been using AFCAD for quite awhile now without any problems. Now, for some reason it woun't let me link to FS2002. The programs loads fine, I can open the desired airport. I can draw line and dots, but the red cross hair is missing and it won't lock onto the a/c in FS2k2. Any insights? Thanks in advance.Per Ardua ad Astra (CYZX)

Is is possible to insert comment lines in the flightplans.txt file? If so, how? Thanks.Sidney Schwartz [KPDX]

Anyone know if it is possible to edit the radius in smaller increments than the 1 meter increments AI Traffic Mover allows? Also, is AITM the only program that includes the ability to edit the aircraft radius?Matt

I'm having a problem getting traffic to arrive at Nadi (NFFN) airport in Fiji. The 767s that appear at the gates when FS2K2 is first started will depart on time, but the ones I have scheduled to arrive from other airports never contact approach or arrive. Any clues?

hi therecan anyone tell me what the difference is between TTools and AFCAD?i have seen some people make some files which need AFCAD and they say that a/c dep runway 1R and land 1L for example,i need AFCAD to be installed,so once i install this, and import this file into AFCAD and go to this airport, will i see the AI aircraft land and depart at these runways?will this also work with projectai planes?also will ATC give me clearance to taxi to the active runway i.e 1R?thx

Hi,I added with afcad2.2 parking spots and a runway to ETAR, and made some plans to it.Every time the plane gets the IFR clearance, it disappears.Any idea?Johan

Hi,I would like your opinion on the following:I sometimes observe that AFCAD designers put one or two blue nodes after the "hold short" red node and before the runway node.Is that allowed? I always thought the red node must be the last node [/b]before[/b] the runway.I have noticed some strange behaviour when such blue nodes exist.Stamatis

G'Day, i have all PAI auto installer files setup as a project in AITM, so i can modify them as i want but my airport.txt is missing airports. i've got about 1900, with 4 or 5 being overlays. just woundering if anyone has a "complete" file (without addon overlays), and how many airports in the file.thanks for your helpMichael Normandeau

I thought that the only time that FS adjusted was the arrival time. I thought we could put in a dep time and leave the arrival time blanck and FS would calculate an arrival time. What I tried to do was to take the arrival time as calculated by FS and add two hours to the arrival time and call that the departure time for the return trip. Essentially this would have ensured that none of my aircraft would sit at a gate for more than two hours. However after the compile when I decompiled and went in to look dep/arrival time all my times had changed. I had also changed all my times so the bulk of my departures would occur between 5am and 11pm, it seems FS redistributed the …

I know this has been discussed in the past but it has been a while wince I have seen any discussion. Just wondering, with all of the wonderful releases and advancememnt in the community, incredible programming and ease of use of applications - along with the release of the SDK's...Is there any opportunity to get these AI lights working during daylight hours? I have tried but I do not know the layout of FS as much as others but still I look almost eevryday - been amazed at what I have learned. I think this would be one of the major finds for FS2002.

Hello to you all, fellow flightsimmers,I advise you about the availability of my collections of AFCAD files for various US states (and in the future othe countries). For the major airports are available multiple-layer versions.I'm uploading ALL US states on www.flightsim.com, so I hope you'll try.I hope to hear your comments and suggestions.Greeting, Paolo (italian_flyer)

i was wondering how i cld change ai reg nbr quickly in a specific airline flightplan txt without going 1 by 1 when you have over a 100 flights,i,e: N123UA, N124UA, etc... or a random reg, is there a tool you can do that with, in notepad i cldn't find option for reg nbr, i cld replace other stuff but not randomize the reg..many thx for help

Greetings, Where does one find the program traffic Tools by Lee Sworldy? I plug it into the file library and it doesn't find it. Is this something one must buy? Thanks for your helpDave

Several of us have been discussing the possibility of coming up with a standard set of aircraft/gate radii to allow aircraft to taxi to their correct gates.If you have access to the PAI message forum, check out this thread. The more input we have the better.http://forums.projectai.com/htdocs/dcforum...mID2/310.html#1Matt Fox

I preemptive thank you to anybody who could solve this one for me. Just finally got the guts to screw around with AI and added a whole bunch of new flights and planes to traffic.bgl using TTools 1.2 Now the only flights that work are the new ones I added, the default flights no longer fly even though they are still listed in Aircraft.txt and Flightplans.txt just like before. Any body what to clue in this clueless newbie? PLEASE....

Hello, Is there a source within FS2002 (AFD Files?) where I can get the time zone for a given airport. I'm trying to create a program that creates AI flight plans based on real world departure stats. I need a way of converting the times (which are in local format) to GMTany thoughts-DN

Hi,After installing base setup and all of the PAI auto-installers, I only have very sparse ai traffic. At most airports only 1 or 2 aircrafts appear. Usually they don't have any landing gear.The strange thing is that almost on every airport I can see labels of ai-aircrafts but no aircrafts at all!Somebody has an idea how to resolve this problem?beaZ

Does anyone know why my 747's (ai traffic) would lose their landing gear for no apparent reason. I have been using the same aircraft for the past 4 months with no problems at all. Now, just tonight I start flying and while I am at NZAA I have 2 QANTAS 744s next to me with no nose gear. What happened? I recomplied the Traffic.bgl file and I still have the problem. Why would this just start after a few months of problem free operation? I have never seen this before on my system. HELP!!!
