What's the tool for making AI traffic routes?

I searched the downloads but I couldn't find anything.

No, Traffic tool combines the text files into a BGL file. How do I make these text files? I doubt they created manually without any tool.

You can create your own text files in notepad. I normally do so by pasteing a few lines from the text files created by decompiling the default (or other) trafficXXXX.bgl file to use as templates.

One utility I have used, briefly, to create the files is Traffic Route Creator. It seemed to work well, I just prefer the manual method

Here are a couple of links to sites that have AI aircraft and schedule packages for FS9.

..mm....personally I just add to the three files I already have from TTools...ie...airports, aircraft and flight plans....first though, you have to understand how they are made up....Google for tutorials on the subject, it isn't "rocket science" by any means, or I wouldn't be able to do it

Try this tute...it explains just what each section of the text file does.....once you master the "art" you can have any aircraft flying from any airport at the times you want.........spare some time to master it and you will really have fun..........commoner

The Traffic Routes Creator need a text file with airports information Longitude Latitude Elevation etc. Where this info can be found?

Well gpktm..Go to the airport you want in the sim, and open the Map...the info is there.....may be other sources but that is what I use....commoner

Much easier method...open AFCAD and enter the ICAO...double click on a blank spot of the airport and voila .

Where this info can be found?

First open TTools and decompile the default 'traffic030528.bgl' traffic file. (Or any other custom traffic file you want to obtain the info from.) The resulting airport and aircraft text files are what TRC is looking for.

If you have installed NEW airports that are not in the default traffic file, run 'Collect Airports.exe' (from your TTools program folder or TRC>Traffic Tools). Use the resulting Airports_2xxx.txt file as your airport text file.

Then open Traffic Route Creator and goto File>Settings (if the settings window doesn't auto open). There you browse to locate the files/folder needed by TRC, including the airport and aircraft text files created by TTools.
