Is adding AI as simple as adding new aircraft to my sim? I cant seem to find a "walkthrough" of adding new AI to my game. Any info is appreciated.

yeah how do you do it?
can you add default planes that you have on your system to an ai flight plan?
how do you make ai flight plans?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!

There are basicly 2 options for adding AI traffic to your Sim.

1) Download pre-packaged AI add-ons. These normally contain both the 'flightplans' and the aircraft. Check the 'Sticky' at the top of this section, or browse the Scenery sections of the SimV download page.

2)Add your own ai traffic. You'll need 'Traffic Tools'- http://www.simviation.com/fs2004utilities1.htm
The included help file, 'Readme.htm", provides a good 'walkthrough' and 'how-to'.

Most FS download sites, including SimV. Some have ai specific sections. Others, you'll have to look in 'scenery' or 'aircraft' section.

Thank You

John Goodwin has a good Creating Simple AI Flightplans walkthrough.

May I suggest for one's first AI flightplan tests to copy&paste some of John's coding into your test flightplans. Once you get this working, change the airports, aircraft and altitudes to your own choices.

This is the old-fashioned way (by hand) but I believe it is the basis for gaining control over one's AI aircraft flights.

Having said all that, I use Ultimate Traffic but still enjoy coding my own *.BGL AI flightplans using Lee Swordy's TTools v.202. There is no limit in FS9 to the number of Flightplan_files.BGL one can have.

Here's a TTools, AI *.txt file sample (before Compiling):
