Hi all,

I am trying to add AI aircraft to fs9 i have read instructions over and over but i have no AI traffic i am using simple AI and ttools if poss please can you give a list of most common probs and i will try them ALL, my wife is giving me hell for spending every evening on the PC but i am not going to give up untill i have my own traffic

thank you all,

Ian.

Here are a couple, Ian
Are you DECOMPILING TT and then doing the add on work and then RECOMPILNG? That is the sequence and w/o following it there is no added AI.
Are you using established airports that are in the airport file?
Is there PARKING AVAILABLE at these airports at the new flight plan times? No new AI w/o all of these.
Use DEFAULT aircraft first to establish the procedure and that way you are sure that the AC is compatible and not the trouble.
When "looking" for your add-ons are you looking at the corrrect GMT or Zulu time ... not local time.

"i am not going to give up untill i have my own traffic " Definitely a step in the right direction. Let's look at it another way:

As mentioned, we all have FS9 airports with accompanying AF2 files so NOT having airport(s) is not your problem.

The actual file which controls the AI flights is a *.bgl file; usually traffic_XXXXXX.bgl. It is placed in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\Scenery\ by TTools.

Here's the three (3) filess and these work!



The traffic_XXXXXX.bgl is Compiled using TTools from three (3) files:
airports_xxxxxx.txt
aircraft_xxxxxx.txt
flightplans_xxxxxx.txt

Now, if this sounds complicated, I cannot understand why.

Any errors in the *.txt files will be identified by TTools and it WILL NOT COMPILE if any of the three.txt file have errors.

Basically, each file only needs one line (except the airports_xxxxx.txt) because we need two(2) airports. Only one aircraft is required and only one flightplan to make it work; after that, one can add as many aircraft, airports and flihgtplans as wanted.

Again, hoping this helps

Decompile it in Ttools and look at the *.txt files
