Be easier to post a screenshot like commoner's. This intrigues me.

When i installed FS9, it created a file in my documents called Flight Simulator files, its where IFR flight plans/saved flights etc end up

i thought that was normal :-?

but anyway, thats where i use to download addons and stuff, and also where my TTools programme is and where anything decompiled by it goes

The plot thickens i guess

The full path of that folder is: C:\Users\Callum\Documents\Flight Simulator Files

OK. I can't see the full path to your FS Traffic Files but I assume it's
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\scenery

Look in your TTools folder for a file named TTools.ini. This should list details of how your TTools is set up. Open it in Notepad & post the text here.

[callump]

yeah, the full file path is as you stated

the contents of the TTools.ini file are:

[General]
UserDefinedSourceFolder=
ActiveSourceFolder=DEFAULT
UserDefinedTrafficFolder=
ActiveTrafficFolder=FS2004
SelectedAirportsFile=Airports030528.txt
SelectedAircraftFile=Aircraft030528.txt
SelectedFlightPlansFile=FlightPlans030528.txt

Exactly like mine. The only difference I can think of is that I'm on WinXP. Conclusion: It must have something to do with Vista.

[callump]

ok, i agree with you there

on the plus side, everything works and all i have to do is put up with overcrowded airports and unrealistic airlines

Thanks for all your help everyone

Ill keep plugging away with it and if i suddenly have a break through ill make sure i let you all know

Thanks again

[Hagar]

What would happen if you delete everything from FlightPlans030528.txt & recompile it? You could take a back-up copy of the file first to be on the safe side. Must be worth a try.

PS. I just tried it. It works fine if you leave a couple of flight plan entries in there.

[callump]

Unfortunately that was one of the first things i tried and i just got an error message telling me:

ERROR: Unable to write to output file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\Scenery\traffic_TEMP

Didnt see that bit when i posted, ill try it now, with all fingers and toes crossed

[Hagar]

Try leaving a couple of entries in there. They can be for somewhere you're not likely to fly. One might do it.

[callump]

It worked
And ive loaded fs9, heathrow and theres not a soar, pacifica or landmark flight in sight

You were right, i just left a couple of flightplans in from places i never go to and it worked fine

Thank you very much for your time and effort, i really appreciate it

callump, forever indebted to Hagar

Whoopeeeeeeeeee! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I'd still like to know why you cant find that BGL file.

[dave3cu]

Curious, does the traffic030528.bgl file show in Explorer now?
