Adding Aircraft Traffic, airport gates, etc, to your Sim - AFCAD, TTools, Project AI, AI Aircraft, etc

A little help...

Postby Airshow_lover » Thu Jun 15, 2006 11:39 am

hey, i was wondering, what file controls the AI traffic?

If you read my thread here, you know my problem.

I'm going to get the AI file from a different computer and copy that one on to the computer that is having problems with FS.

Will, that work? And which file do i need?

The location and name of the FS2002 ai traffic (ai flightplans) file is'...\FS2002\SCENEDB\ATC\Scenery\traffic.bgl'.

You should be able to find it on CD2-FS_Disk_2\SCENEDB\ATC\Scenery\traffic.bgl

From your other post
how can i view a .bgl file?

You cant view the contents directly. Use TrafficTools 2.02 to decompile the file to view/edit the contents.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

FS9's default traffic filename is traffic030528.bgl
"7. The AI Traffic File
The Traffic Database file contains all the AI flight information for Flight Simulator. The stock traffic file is named "traffic.bgl" for FS2002, and "traffic030528.bgl" for FS2004 (the numbers are merely the creation date of the file). FS2002 will only work properly with one traffic file, but FS2004 will allow any number of them. A traffic file can actually have any name as long as it ends with .bgl, but for consistency TTools will always begin the traffic file name with the word "traffic". You can extend that name with any suffix you want, for example "traffic_KORD.bgl" or "trafficAALEastUS.bgl".

"And which file do i need?"

Roger that, then . . . "The stock traffic file is named "traffic.bgl" for FS2002," this part applies from Lee Swordy's TTools' Readme (qouted in previous post).
