I have made an airport and now I want to give it some AI flights. I have TTools and a tut on making the plans but after compiling the flight plans in TTools and start up FS9, FS9 says it is compiling the new scenery but I go to the airport and nothing is there. What am I doing wrong?

Few things to check for starters:
Does your airport have adaquate parking for the AI a/c?
Are you looking at the right times? The AI traffic is scheduled on GMT time so check
/World/Time to make sure GMT matches.
Are you starting at the right airport? AI's initial departure is from the last airport on the line.

The problem appears to be the times. Re-read Section 21 of the help file, in particular the paragraphs under 'Leg Sequencing'. Of note:
All times used in flight planning are GMT and in 24 hr format. The period you program is the 1st period of the day which begins at 00:00:00GMT.
All legs must be completed within the repeat period, thus for you 2hr period, times should fall between 00:00:00 and 1:59:59.
The first departure time must be the earliest time in the sequence (nearest to 00:00:00 GMT).
Try this line. I'm not sure if this was your intended schedule, but should work. Keep in mind they are GMT when you go to view the flight. You may have to adjust the altitude as I dont know the elevation of the airport.
....once a day.....

And/or this one.
.....repeats every 2 hrs.........
