TTools for MSFS Forum

Hey guys,I am creating a large AI traffic file and two files I am trying to modify wont change on the Flightplans.txt file. As a matter of fact, I modify the flight from 1 to 3 hours on two flightplans, and the file changes back when I go to compile.Anyone know of this problem and is there a work around on it?BillLHC

Hi, does anyone know where to get a batch version for NewBglAnalyze in order to convert AF2 AFCads to xmls? I have tons of AF2 files and like to port them but doing it one-by-one with fs92fsx NewBglAnalyze interface is unrealistic at least.Thanks!=S.V.=

Hi,Apart from FS9, I am still an FS8 user and I 'd like to know if there is a way, in an overlay airport, that the airport's sole tower regulate traffic as if there were a single airport, because now traffic taking off from the one, bumps into traffic coming to take off from the other. Obviously two Towers are heard and I think this might be the problem. I wonder if someone of the experienced simmers has found a workaround to this. The two airports' traffic share the same runway for TO & Landing.And a TTools question : why ATC directs in most of times user aircraft to always the same parking position, no matter if a/c has been edited properly beforehand, assuming that…

Does anyone know of a Tutorial which explains how to setup active crosswind runways?There was a detailed post on the subject over at the Project AI site but since they have changed their site, that data is no longer available. Hopefully someone saved that info and will be willing to share it.Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.David "Opa" Marshall

Hi all l`m not sure if this is the right place.. but here we go. l`m new to IA l have PAI and ultimate traffic installed but l would love to replace the aircrafts with better paints. l have grabbed a base model and repaint but didn`t see the model in flightsim.. any help on this? l have grabbed the text and pasted it into the aircraft file for the first number being 0... please help..regardsPaul

I was wondering if anyone knew of an AI generator such as GA_MAKERThanks, Benji

Can TTools work on Vista Ultimate Edition?

I was playing around with creating some AI plans. Everything seems to be fine, however if I go to an airport, there are way too many AI planes on the ground. One particular issue is planes are sitting on the ground that aren't scheduled to depart for several hours, or are daily flights that are displaying on the wrong day - e.g. a flight that departs W, Th, and F, is showing up on saturday and jsut sits there taking up parking.Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on the matter.

Hi all,I am working on custom scenery for my local airport, so I decided to add a few more dep/arr throughout the day for more realism.I created several custom routes and they work pretty well, except for one thing. Around 1600 everyday, I have a Baron 58 landing. Approx. 5 minutes prior, there is a C172, AI generated, which lands. No conflicts, no issues, until the Baron reaches a parking spot. No matter which open spot the Cessna takes, the Baron will use the same spot, even with many spots open.I know how to correct this and that is not the issue. The question is, WHY does this happen? I don't see other AI acft "double parking. I'm thinking it's probably the size of th…

I have a powerful machinewindows vista businessfsxit's running smooth as silk.I install woai and i don't seem to get much traffic at places like LAX, LAS, MIA, etc. im cranked up to 100%mike

Greetings all,This is my first post here, and I hope the problem with TTools can be resolved.The problem, when I compile TTools it states the number of aircraft Ihave 4573, but I infact have 4633 in my Aircraft.txt. TTools Compaionalso counts 4573.Resently I lost 149Gb of my fs9 then TTools counted 7000 aircraft.Please I would really appreciate help with this problem as all my AIafter 4573 won't show.Thank youDave.

Hi,I addapted my Afcad2-file for FS9 to the new situation of my airport and locked one runway end because this is more realistic.I observed the take-off of two aircraft: one Boeing followed by a Piper Cherokee. The Boeing did his job, but the Cherokee didn't and stayed a long time at the start location until it disappeared (time out).What could be the reason of this behaviour ? Should I give this Piper more time ?Greetz. Jos

Hi all,I need some help. When I search an AFCAD at project ai afcad I can't dl. I get a "Forbidden Access from this Server" mesg. But, on the the Home/Main page I can dl all the linked material. Is this just a hangover from recent troubles with the server? Maybe I should register with the site? What I need right now is the AFCAD for Gary V.'s Sheremetyevo UUEE (by Kristof Savski) and the PAI one is the only one of which I am aware. ANY help would be appreciated with gratitude.Thank you all in advance,Cheers,Tosh:-zhelp

Can anyone please tell me what is the latest vers of TTools and Afcad ?

I have made some AI TNG flights using Quad City Ultralights, But unfortunately they take off, turn, then on the downwind leg fly nicely into the hill side. How can I make them fly higher?

Hello (again),I'm using multiple traffic BGL files, one per airline actually, like traffic_klm.bgl, traffic_air france.bgl, etc., but I was wandering if it isn't better to have only one complete traffic file in FS9 because every bgl file has it's own airport data stored inside if I am not wrong.So, does anyone know of this is influencing the performance of FS negatively?thanks, Bastiaan

Dear friends,Recently I intended to make my AI traffic more realistic so I started downloading many realistic AI traffic plans from Avsim. Together with FSPainter and AI Aardvark aircraft they really make a difference however I'm facing some weird things:I noticed that almost none of my AI's were actually landing; they simply appeared at the gate a short time before they have to start their next leg.Changing the airspeed in the aircraft.txt files of the fp's, from the original cruise speed, to 200 knots solved this, but I still don't know why that is... (does anyone?)btw, all flight plans use exact arrival times (the @ symbol in the flightplans.txt) Now AI planes are land…

I was an avid and experienced user of FS2002, TTools, and AFCAD.Then when FS9 came out, I could NOT make that sucker stay stable onmy old system nor new system. I did install the patch too, yet CTDswere always lurking in the background.The latest version of TTools and AFCAD were employed in FS9 as they were in FS2K2.Now I learned that TTools 202 was done only reluctantly by Lee Swordy, and something about an SDK for FS9 and FSX that does the same things TTools and AFCAD did.Would somebody in the know explain to me:1. If not TTools 202, then what works best for FS9?2. If it's an SDK, where do I get it?3. What's the latest utility to use for FSX, or is it invented yet?4. A …

Is it possible when using an Ultimate Traffic Time Table flight to become that flight and replace the AI flight. For example, if I wanted to fly UAL 947, which departs KIAD for KLAX at 17:45, can I delete the AI flight so that I can become that flight, leave at the scheduled time and not have two flights out there with the same call sign and destination?I know I can change the flight # or leave at a different time, but I've always wondered if I could replace the AI flight.Thanks in advance to any replies,John M

Hello. I'm new to AI and swapping out planes. I just bought UT because I wanted more realistic traffic at my airports. Unfortunetly, my system is dragging now FPSwise because of it. Isn't there a way I could simply swap out the AI planes I have now with other ai like Ardvark and let UT handle the whole compile and flight plan issue?

I am trying to learn to make some custom AI flight plans in FSX and I am having problems figuring out the zulu times.I have created some custom aircraft types and flight plans but I can't seem to get the flights to show up.Example of my custom aircraft:BE58-5,Beech Baron 58 Paint1,200,40,120,1,661,4000,HARD,6,RAMP,50,no,noExample of my custom flight plan:BE58-5,NVA58,10,ONE_HOUR,IFR{0600,KHOU,4,10630,KHPY,4,1}I thought this would start the flight at 0600am for a simple 9minute flight but the flight never seems to work.Question: I did alter the min flight distance to 1 mile and don't think that has anything to do with it. The default is 50 miles. I think it has somethin…

Hello, I'm new here, so if I'm asking things that have been asked before, please be patient (I DID check older messages, but didn't see anything).I'm trying to automate generation of AI-traffic in a configurable way. I'm pretty far, except for a few details, for which I need help. What I have so far:* Importing BGL files that have been translated to txt by TTools.* Assigning them to categories. (business jet, training, prop transports, etc)* Generating traffic patterns following a day/night schedule, based on category.Together this allows me to generate varied traffic with any (AI) plane that I want in any way that I want. But I don't know what I want!So I imported traffi…

Hi,I really know nothing about AI, and, given that:1. my computers come to a screeching halt when I add AI, and,2. My addiction to FS is bad enough without getting involved in the thousands and thousands of repaints and AFCADs out there;I'm not super interested in getting into the details at the moment (maybe later as my computers improve).Anyway - I have gotten involved with loading FS on other people's computers (usually low end), and once in a while I would like to turn it on just to see what it's like even if I end up with a slide show. So that I can get a base understanding and perhaps something a little useful I have the following question:FS comes with default AI …

I've seen some posts on other forums.Need some folks with FSX running FS2004 traffic files to do some checking.The issue reported is that aircraft are flying on the wrong day.To check this you will need flight plans / schedules which are not every day. i.e. a flight which is only on Friday, or everyday except Sunday.Check the airport - see if the aircraft lands / takes off on time. Change the day one day forward and one day backward. Record the results.From previous work with the beta traffic file, one person has noted changes in the day of the week data storage structure.Let's hear your results.

Does anyone know of a way or utility that will allow a user to decompile a BGL file (or convert a FlightPlans.txt file) into an XLS file, where you have columns seperating aircraft type, departure, destination, times, and weekly frequency? This is the exact opposite of what MRAI's compiler does.For instance, say I want to take United's current schedule and reintroduce DC-10s on the routes they once flew, particularly Mainland US to Hawaii. Previously I have done this by seeking out the various airports (PHNL, PHKO, etc) and just changing the associated aircraft from 757s or 767s to DC-10s. The problem now is I have DC-10s in weird places they don't belong (ATL, MHT, YVR…
