AI Carrier FSX - explain this Flight Plan to me

I installed FSX - AI Carrier Scenery and the instructions gives you some flight plans so you can view the AI aircraft in action. I see what appears to be 4 flight plans but none of it makes sense to me ... just a bunch of numbers with no instructions what to do with them.

It's been a little while, and I know I've forgotten a bit of it.

3 files work together to make a traffic.bgl :

Thanks ShaneG,
   It is making some sense and perhaps I can re-construct it with TTools or AIF Planner ....   I'll check it out.

Appreciate

That could be flight time, like I said, I'm a little rusty on this.  ;D ;)

31 minutes makes more sense.

,060-heading
,F- can't remember





actually, the 060 is the Altitude.... 6000 feet, and the F is FLIGHT NUMBER



AC#5100,T606,1%,8Hr,IFR,00:09:30,00:31:14,060,F,0684,TNCM,02:39:30,03:01:14,070,

Aircraft #5 - in your Aircraft.txt file
5100 - Speed
T606 - Tail Number
1% - Ai traffic must be set to at least this amount for craft to show
8Hr - flight occurs at this interval
IFR - type of flight plan
00:09:30 - Departure time
00:31:14 - Arrival time
060 - Altitude
F - ATC is to use the Flight number and NOT the craft Registration #
0684 - Flight number
TNCM - Where is this aircraft supposed to start the flight from.


AI Flight Creator program

if anyone wants the program, either GOOGLE for it, or contact me and I will email it to you as I do not remember exactly where i got it at this vert minute.

Capt.Propwash,
  I appreciate the feedback .... I'll get it eventually.  I did try the carrier you mentioned but the settings interfered with the carrier I already have installed and ended up putting my aircraft (default is a Cessna 172 in the flights it creates)  under water.   :'( :'(   Anyway .... I'm learning, and your comments helps in that regard.

Thanks again,

granted i do not have vista, but exactly what carrier package do you have?? I have FSX Deluxe, and maybe i can run the flight plan files through my TTOOLS and fix a few bugs in your plans to make them a little better.  Maybe even add a few more craft to it.

if you could provide a link, that would be great!

Actually I run everything on an XP system first before I install on my Vista System so when I break something I still have a working system.  ;D ;D  So my signature is my "best" system ....    ::)
Yeah ... I picked up the carrier addon here: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads- ... tails.html under the file name FSX_CV.zip.  I had forgotten where I downloaded it from so I Googled it ... and lo and behold it seems others also could not see the traffic as advertised.  Seems to be some error in the flight plans!  :o  It does look pretty cool though:

now i remember why i never download anything from them..... they REQUIRE you to pay $5 to have a membership to be able to download ANYTHING from them.   doesnt matter if it is FREEWARE or not, they still charge a fee to be able to download it.
