Hi,I noticed that the default aircraft count is something like 59!can we add more, then add the relevant flight plans.Thanks.

There is a genuine real-world flight by a cargo DC3 that originates at Long Beach (KLGB), flies to Catalina Island (KAVX) and returns. I am trying to re-create this flight with the default FSX cargo DC3 using AI Flight Planner.It nearly works, the DC3 leaves KLGB and heads for KAVX but never lands, I learned today that it gets within one mile of touchdown at KAVX and then goes around, I have watched it do this twice (quite dramatic!!) I don't have the patience to keep waiting but I suspect it will keep going around until it times out and disappears.KAVX is slightly modified using AFX but other planes seem to land and take-off there OK. There are at least 3 parking spots…

I am about to install packages from PAI .I already have many from WOAI. Is there any danger that these 2 will overwrite each other? I have American AA from WOAICan I also install American from PAI without a problem?Thanks for your help and advice, I'm new to this AI stuff .Any information and resources about AI that you recommend to help me learnare appreciated!

Hi there, got a question on AI aircraft sounds.If you notice while doing some plane-spotting, AI planes all have their respective sounds assigned to them.For example, the large jets have the loud "large jet" sounds, the Learjet 45 has the "small jet" sound, the turboprops have their turboprop sound, and the smaller GA aircraft has the piston properller engine sound.Thing is, I have AI aircraft that are regional airlines (eg) the Embraers and the CRJs. How do I make them have the "small jet" sound just like the Learjet 45 AI aircraft? Right now, they are using the "large jet" sounds, and i don't seem to be able to find the exact setting in the Aircraft.cfg file that lets m…

I apologize for such a newbie questionHow are you supposed to build the AircraftTypes files for TTools database builder?I see all the default aircraft for FS9 in there. I have a bunch of aircraft from World of AI,which I obtain and installed using the installer. I don't believe any of it is in there.Am I supposed to type all the info into this file? How the devil does it get in there!So much to do , so little flight time. :}

Hello,I just buy Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel.It only works with original aircrafts of FS and not with add ons such as Pilot In command Boeing 737 (nothing works except gers and motors) and PMDG Boeing 737 800-900.Is it normal? Does a specific patch exist ?Thanks for your help !

Hello!I'm trying to make some military AI do VFR touch and go's at KNFL. I have no problems at all with most of the AI aircraft I'm using (AI F-16 by Henry Tomkiewicz, several MAIW AI aircraft), but I can't get it done for the F/A-18 Hornet. Both the Hiroaki Kubota and the Team FS KBT Hornets (light versions) refuse to do VFR pattern work! They taxi and take off as expected, but then they fly straight to the horizon. Normal AI flights seem to work just fine for these models as they land and taxi to a parking spot when I don't put TNG in front of the arrival time.Anyone who can help me out here?Regards,David Bernard

Hi,I am desperately searching for an actual MRAI/WoAi FP for Jet Airways of India. There only is one to install manually in the File Library, but I do not have enough time for that, please halp me!Thank you

Can anyone please help me work out why I cant get any output from the Traffic Database Builder in the FSX SDK. I'm running FSX under Vista(32) with Acceleration installed. I've gone through the correct previous SDK SP1 install, then uninstall sequence, to arrive at what (I think) is the correct updated Acceleration SDK. Works fine while in FS with Tools/traffic map, traffic explorer etc OK. But not when trying the TDB. I've long given up trying with customized schedules and addon aircraft types, but cant even get any traffic.bgl file creation when trying the TDB.exe with only the default FSX airports and aircraft types files. I'm running TDB exe under command prompt ("run…

What can I do to get a little more traffic at that airport? I am using Ultimate Traffic 2004. I've been told that If I visit the airport at a certain time, there will be some AI traffic there. I'd like to have traffic there anytime I visit the airport. I'm also using Flytampa's TNCM scenery. I've fiddled around with TTools before. I was able to divert all AI traffic that normally lands at VHHH to 8Dragons Kai Tak scenery. Would I essentially do the same process? Pick a international airport that I never fly out of and divert them to TNCM?

I have PAI installed and am using it very successfully ... thisis for fs2002 ... Last night and this morning tried to download a couple of airline packages from their site but for some reason the site is working properly. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise ... as perhaps it is a good time to learn something about creating my own ... or at least using some of the many packages of updated schedules that are available in the avsim files.I know to download TTools ... mainly for the instructions that come with it. I also know that there are ai aircraft available ... Now the basic question (or would this be something explained in the TTools instructions ... using the flight p…

Just wanted to say that I figured it out thanks in no small part to Dean Chamblee.I downloaded two of his flight plan packages for Aloha and Hawaiian airlines ... along with the necessary AI aircraft .. from here at avsim.Since I already have ProjectAI installed ... following his directions ... all were melted in perfectly.I had sent Dean an e-mail thanking him.. but sadly it came back ..so wanted to post it here ... and if you know Dean .. please do pass this along..Dean,Just wanted to drop you a line ... I have the ProjectAI flight installer and had been using their packages ... with great ease.I recently went back to using FS2002 (long story) ... and loaded some of the…

The aircraft are now missing after i loaded World of AI traffic Is the FSX files in another file? Where is the traffic file located?

Hi.can anyone please tell me how to add air traffic control at an airport I have added.the airport has a correct afcad, and I do have ai there, but I don't get air traffic control. all I get are options to announce to the other traffic that I am clear of the runway or taxiing to a runway etc. but no ATC.can anyone please tell me if this can be fixed.I do also have the airport listed in the airport list, and it's compiled etc.Many thanks for any help.

I have installed PAI on my machine. I then saw that TT tools was part of the installation. My problem is;How do I get see what AI I have installed?How do I program them?How do I change them?PLEASE I need help.

I need to help learning how to install AI aircraft/flightplans in FSX. I have tried using the AIFP compiler but I can't get the right planes with the flightplans. Basically, nothing is working and I can't find any detailed directions on the web. Any help would be great. Thanks Kip

Is there any out there?Thanks.....

Hi fellas,Apologies if this has been covered before. Basically I've just upgraded to FSX, and I'm wanting to use my AI flightplans from FS9. I've transferred my AI Aircraft to the FSX aircraft folder. I also have saved my Aircraft, Airport and Flightplan.txt TTOOLS files. Is there anyway I can get these working in FSX?

Hello Everyone,,AI traffic around my local US airport is rather sparse, and I am looking to establish more of a real-time environment by adding a few of the many AI flightplans for carriers that frequent my home airport. However, the plans are usually global, and would introduce many more flights to areas of the country that I do not frequent.I thought I read somewhere that, although AI flightplans would be active thru the use of the AI slider, that only AI flights within a particular range of the home aircraft are actually created, thereby avoiding any hits on framerates for flights on the other side of the world. Can anyone confirm this, and if so, would anyone have an…

I want to simply add some flight plans to an airport in FSX using the World of AI models. Alliance airport in Ft. Worth is a maintenance base for American Airlines and I want to have some flights in and out of the airport for AAL aircraft.It is also a FedEX hub and I want to add some 727s there since there are only MD-10s and 11s scheduled right now.How can I either edit the flightplans that came with the World of AI aircraft to add some flights or how can I make a separate file. I'm possibly going to design and update this airport along with the AFCAD so I'm thinking a stand alone traffic file will be better?If someone could just point me in the direction of editing th…

Hello everybody, Hopefully somebody will point me in the right direction.I've recently decompiled the traffic files supplied with the UK2000 scenery's. The reason for this was simple..GA flying at night ! Would anybody know of anything I can use to edit the times in the plans ?I had ages ago, a flight plan creator which you could enter the field to fly from, give it a distance to cover, but it would also tell your flights to be home before XX O'clock. It was similar in appearance to Mike Hollands, GA maker but had the additional benefits mentioned. Any body remember the name...please !

Hi all,I've been using Ultimate traffic for a long time, have modified it extensively, but now I am thinking of building my AI traffic from scratch. Flight plans from a well known group have many errors in them. AITM reports Departure before arrival, wrong flight levels, min or max turn around time and most of all, too many legs in a weekly flight plan. How do these errors affect AI behaviour? For example, how will an AI behave, if it's weekly plan begins on a sunday at 05:00UT and ends on next sunday at 8:00 or even on next monday or tuesday? How to correct that if it needs to be corrected, because the quantity is huge? Does this need to be corrected in the first place? …

Hi all,When I try to compile a traffic file I get an error message saying my flight plan lists an airport not in airport.txt when in fact it is.Any ideas?Thanks, Joe
