Can someone tell me how I can add Airports such as the stock St Athan or Swansea to be AI enabled? I have added parking to them with AFCAD and a tower, but they don't show in AITEs airport list, even after another decompile with Ttools! And can someone say how to add the downloaded aircrafts to fly AI? All for FS2002 Pro.

Ok, have you read the readme that comes with traffic tools? I found this very helpful for doing things such as adding add-on aircraft to the AI traffic.

As for adding the airport, I believe that you have to actually add a line to the Airports.txt file...the line will contain exact coordinates to the airport...

not sure how to get these and how they actually work though..:-)

Jarred is on the right track use ttools to add ai to your airport and unless this airport does not exist in FS all you have to do is start FS and go to that airport.  Once you find it press the alt z keys at the same time and take notice of the lattatude and logitude in the top part of screen and use those numbers to put in the aircraft txt file. You can also go into slew mode to get the same info.

I think you mean Shift Z...  :P (Sorry!) Great, does the same apply to aircraft, only with the (AirED) Section '105 *Aircaft Type=2 entry as 2?
Thanks, Dan

P.s. I have read most of TTools help.

much easier way, IMO

open AFCAD, do a search for the airport code you are looking for.

once the airport comes up click anywhere on the airport and then click properties.

It will give you the code, Long/Lat, you will need to take the last 2 numbers out of each line, then add the altitude.

It should follow suit to all the other lines in the airport text.

Thats what I did  ;)
