Another AI Helo Question

I downloaded an AI helicopter package by Rob Nieuwenhoven (AI heli FS2004) and am having absolutely no luck getting it to work. Have also checked through this site for related topics, all leads seem to point back to this package and how it works well for others. I've tried reinstalling the package a few times, following the instructions to a T, no joy. Also would like to convert a non-AI helicopter (it has a local repaint that's why), to make circuits around my hometown if possible. Thanks for any help.

I don't have this package flying in my FS9 world but did d/l it and took a look. When you compiled the *.txt files into the traffic_helo.bgl file did you get any error messages from TTools? I'm curious about the one-digit times shown in the plans.
AC#2000,AIRWF,1%,4Hr,IFR,0:49:59,01:47:11,17,R,208,EFHX,2:49:59,03:47:11,18,R,2,EFT1
P.S. I have lots AI helos but I make my own helopads (small AF2 airports) and my own flightplans. They all work.

Thanks for your help, I will try tweaking the flightplan info and see if that makes a difference. BTW no error message was received when compiling the flightplans that came with the package.

"BTW no error message was received when compiling the flightplans that came with the package."
Thanks for that info: I did not know TTools will Compile flightplans using one-digit times instead of two-digit times. I must try that sometime.
