AI traffic viewer for FS2004

Hi guys!

Are there any programs that I can use to view info about the traffic around my airplane [like heading, type of aircraft, speed etc.] for FS2004?

Also, how do I view any particular AI aircraft I want in FS2004? I know I can use the key CTRL + W to cycle views of AI aircraft after opening a new window, but I tried that and the program skips some aircraft while cycling. Alternately, is there any program I can download to achieve the same?

Furthermore, can someone give me a list of good programs using which I can alter the AI aircraft schedules, without me manually modifying the flightplans.txt and then compiling it using TTools? I have AITM and since it does not support FS2004 yet, I wanted to know which programs other than that which do support FS2004 are capable of doing the same thing as AITM.

Thanks

MICROSOFT,

Try yRoute.  Do a google search.  It is freeware.  It is a front end for TTools.

It has some nice features that AITM does not have.  But AITM had some features that yROute does not have.  ALl in all so far I like AITM better...... and am awaiting the update.

best,

Microsoft,

I'm not sure what to tell you regarding the cycling views of AI aircraft.  When I use the Ctrl+W command I usually get to see most of the aircraft, or enough to serve my interests................

For a more thorough look at the traffic around you, I recommend ACRAD, which can be downloaded here:

It does require FSUIPC to run with fs2002.

I used to have ACRAD running on my networked laptop using WideFS abd FSUIPC back on fs2002.  It was a really nice touch...... inflight radar.
