TTools for MSFS Forum

Two questions:Is it possible to change the names of the parking spaces from Gate Small, Medium or Large to say Gate 1 or Concourse A, Gate 1? In other words can we give individual names to the gates?I am working on adding AI to an airport and want to have 2 airlines parking at different parts of the airport. Do I create 2 overlay airports so that I can put gates and AI for one airline on one overlay and gates and AI for the other airline on the 2nd overlay? Specifically I am working on KSTL and would like to put TWA/AA traffic on the C/D concourses and SWA traffic at the east terminal.Thanks for any assistance.ERIC PAGE

Has anyone had any luck finding GMAX military aircraft? If so, what and where? JeffDetroit, MI USAGO WINGS!!!(as in NHL, not The Discovery Channel)

Here's how to set up a light aircraft to fly a box-pattern cirucit at your favourite airport, rather than flying from one airport to another. I added this line to TTools FlightPlan.txtAC#8,BRN,49%,4Hr,VFR,01:48:00,02:03:00,020,F,0001,YBUD,02:20:15,02:35:15,020,F,0001,YBUDYou may have to change the AC number. In my case No#8 happens to be the default Beech Baron. Callsign BRN. He calls up ATC, taxies out, and executes a very nice scenic circuit over Bundaberg at 2000ft. Finally lands and parks again. He departs at 0148 gmt and againat 0220 gmt. Awesome !!!!

Anyone else noticed that it will park at any gate - even small ones? I guess it must be something in the model file that controls it as I use the 777 air file.

Just an FYI, I have completed and uploaded my KNKX dual runways overlay. New!

At KLAX, I close 25R/7L and 25L/7R and also 6R and 6LThe only active Runways left are 24L and 24RThe AI planes takeoff from 24L as expected.However, ATC directs all landings to 7L which is closed.When the planes come in for a landing, as per ATC instructions, they line up with 7L, but at the last minute, just before touch down, they veer off to the left and land across the other runways. I would say, they have a heading of roughly 20 degrees.Would appreciate any help. I would like the planes to use 24R for landing.Thanks.Abe

Ok i hpe someone can help me out here, Ive downloaded and installed a Posky 747-400 aicraft taking off from Honolulu and leaving for Los Angeles. On the ground in Honolulu it taxis and takes off fine however upon arrival into KLAX, the aircraft tends to dive and dissapear in front of the runway. Now here is what i have tried:Used the default 747-400 air file.....no joyUsed the default 737-400 air file.....the plane doesnt even show up arriving in KLAX.Can someone please help me out here?Thanks,John

A new airport (KIND - Indianapolis, IN) was recently made available on my website http://www.buckeyediscus.com/fs2002/With this new airport, written by Fr. Bill Leaming, I discovered another really nasty bug in Add A Gate. Luckily, it only took 4 hours to track it down and fix it. Please download the latest build(61) from the website above and overwrite the existing addagate.exe you currently have.thanks-johnp.s. sorry for releasing this so soon after 60, but that was a nasty bug.

Goodday Flyfriends.Maybe stupid but who's willing to help me???I read a lot of stuff about AI and I really dont know how its works and what it do.Can somebody tells me what files I need to download to work with this.and how it works??I would appreciate your replys.

I've just uploaded MergeAI and MapAI for FS2002 to Avsim and Flightsim. Should be available in a couple of days.MergeAI and MapAI are used to automatically map aircraft installed on your system to be used as AI with the many flightplans available. MergeAI merges and rationalizes descriptors of aircraft, flightplans, airports, and airlines from multiple flightplans installed on your system. MapAI then maps installed aircraft to these plans, matching airline and aircraft type. If you have multiple liveries installed for a particular airline and aircraft type, MapAI will use all of them for AI. Exact and close matches of aircraft type are supported. Used with TTools by Lee S…

Hi,I use AFCAD and AITTOOLS for my first AI traffic at my favorite airport. First I have removed all previous flights and then I have added 8 new ones. I use only 3 AC to perform all these flights as you can see below:B737 200 (AC#35)from FMMI at 08:20->FMMT->FMNM->FMMI at 12:00.B737 200 (the same AC#35) from FMMI at 13:00->FMSD->FMMI at 17:00.DHC6 (A#34)from FMMI at 9:20->FMMT->FMMI at 12:00.DHC6 (A#34)from FMMI at 12:50->FMMS->FMMI at 16:00.DHC6 (A#34)from FMMI at 16:50->FMMT->FMMI at 19:50.DH8 (A#33)from FMMI at 07:20->FMNR->FMMI at 10:00.DH8 (A#33)from FMMI at 10:20->FMMH->FMMI at 12:00.DH8 (A#33)from FMMI at 12:20->FMN…

Is there a place to get real world airline Itineraries?like, departure times type of aircraft etc??Sorry to ask this, I am new inn this forum

Which is better, Add-a-gate or Afcad? Can you do something with one you cant with the other? Just curious. Currently using Afcad.Thanks.Mike

Hi,I've written a program that explode AFDFILES FS2002 in multiple text files (.txt).- Airports --> icao, airport name, city, state, country and region.- Airport's --> Runways.- Airport's --> Towers location elevation.- Airport's --> Gates (wingspan and gates name).- Airport's --> Import to TTools (Airports.txt).- Airport's --> Import to TrafficDataBaseBuilder (SDK) (Airports.dat).- Airport's --> Coordinate , elevation.- Airport's --> TimeZone and Daylight Saving Time (DST).All these files have a unique key [iCAO] code from the Airport.If this is interesting, I'm looking for a couple of testers.I don't think this is ready for general distribution…

Hi, first, excuse me if my question sounds dumb, I

Anyone who has been to KMSP knows this is how it reall is with northwest. Link to screenshot I put in th other forum.http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47

KIND - Indianapolis, IndianaFiles for both "AFCAD" and "ADD A GATE" are included in this zipped file. Use either one, depending on whichever program you have.Over 60 Gates have been added to KIND.Runway 5R/23L are used for takeoffs.Runway 5L/23R are used for landings.All taxiways have been corrected for proper names.Use of these modified files should not harm FS2k2 or your computer, but as always, I accept no responsibility for your dumb mistakes... :)If you need assistance installing this file, please don't hesitate to email me:[email protected] Fr. Bill LeamingUploaded to AVSIM, but until it gets there... :)http://catholic-hymns.com/frbill/FS2002_Pi...D_AI_Update.zip

Some folks have expressed difficulty in getting AI traffic to work at "3 character code airports," such as 3HO, 79J, 05C, etc.Well, having spent the best part of four hours this evening, I am happy to report that it does work as expected, but ONLY if the two airports are far enough apart... I don't know how "far," far enough is, but I do know that I now have AI a/c happily shuttling between KORD - 05C, KCGX - 3HO, 3HO - 79J, etc.I do know that it will NOT work between say, 3HO - KVPZ (Hobart-Sky Ranch and Porter Co. Muni. in Indiana)There is no need to create 'dummy' ICAO codes for 3 character airports, as some have suggested! :)I'll keep experimenting until I can discov…

Hey everyone.I think we should get together and see if we can figure out a way to increase the taxi speed.its causing me quite alot of problems and is simply annoying having planes going around because the 737 won`t clear the runway in time.I`m thinking,initially..I know nothing about FDEs,but is there a parameter in the FDE that governs ground friction / drag??..could this be altered..and would it alter the taxi speed.Just a general what do you think thread because the last one you did about gate sizes and why the planes goto certain gates was very productive and got a result..lets try it again!

Hi, all thanks to those who provides us with some cool ad-ons, i have big problem, iwanted to add some gates into my home town GMMN{casablanca}, but i screwde up, when i run fs2002, all ground ATC and AI were missing, not only that all airports within EURSWAFD.BGL have same problem, i am not sure what happened , all i did was adding some gates to gmmn then saved it using add gate, i tried to solvr problem with afcad, nothing changed.Cld some please let me know how to make these airports work{it's only ground atc and ai missing , after takeoff i get normal atc and ai}, or how and which CD i get this file back.All help and suggestions highly appreciatedKraamer

I've got a few of John's and some of World AI's plans installed and Johns plans make sense. Overnights are accurate- right now using World AI, I have Boston fully populated at 7am (I mean almost all gates are filled with DAL or USAirways jets) none of the other carriers that should be there! I also have Boston roughly configured for the correct number of gates, but there are some space constratints Especially in Terminal B- no new Usairways gates, and the AA side is not big enough.Tim

Spent 6 hours today working on the KIAD and KPHL hubs, as well as added a few POSKY A330 and B767. Now those models worked fine yesterday.When I Recompiled, as I've done 40 times before that, the compiler program stopped. Just stopped and bounced me back to the TTools folder. It wasn't finished, and it didn't give me an error in a line listing like it has done before.I had to decompile and just for experiment, removed 2 of the 4 POSKY notations in the aircraft notepad. The recompiler worked, but I had lost my 6 hrs of work. Has anyone experienced this too?My only answer thus far is;-This was the biggest recompile I have ever done. Both KIAD and KPHL are big. Maybe it was …

I'm told that there is a fix for the overlay problem in AFCAD now. Is this a fix from Lee? If you recall he said that the overlay feature screws up the AI so don't upload overlay airports. I was told two days ago that there was a fix for that now.Pete

Gents, Just an idea for any AI traffic designer, how about KOSH during EAA where RNWY 36 has 3 landing zones and Taxiway ALPHA gets turned into RNWY 36R and also has 3 landing zones. Parking up the wazoo, aircraft landing every 30 seconds etc... Would love to give a go at it but currently knee deep in gauge projects.Any takers ?Roman(KGRB)

Dear All,Sorry a few questions rolled up into one here !!I am using AI traffic editor and I have de-complied the traffic.bgl and made a new flight plan as a test from Norwich to Gatwick departing at 10.00 am repeated every 4 hours with PSS A320 AirtoursI am also using AFCAD editor and have placed three new parking positions at Norwich (medium) which is fine no problem.when I actually start FS2002 (Pro) and jump to Norwich around 10.00 there happens to be two A320's on separate stands, My only question here is that I had previously made another flight plan from Norwich to Edinburgh, but I am certain that I deleted it ? how can I make sure that I did ? I did watch the two p…
