Siron.....see all those pretty little aeroplanes down there at Kloten (Switzerland)? They are what you get with Project AI. Notice a lot of them are SWISS as you would expect. They all go about there business flying around the world taxiing, taking off and landing when told they can by ATC, so you had better ask for permission to take off and land too lest you want to cause a nasty accident :P

I presume that you now know how to download the airline pai files.....for each airline you want to ad do THIS...............

1.. Open the installer and browse to the PAI file you want to add......see first pic which shows the file on the desktop where I dragged and dropped it from the ZIP file. it is highlighted see it?. now click OPEN

Image

2..This pic is what you got when you clicked open right? So now click NEXT a few times and INSTALL when it says so and you will finally get to the last pic and then clock CLOSE..when you then fly you will see planes at airports all over the place. Bigger the airport ..more planes OK?

Image

Image

3 Do that for each Airline you want to add ....if you don't get that siron then I guess I can't explain it any better old son ::) ::) ::)

commoner, you had been such a great help, I will try as you had instructed. Thank You very much.

Hope you do not feel offended by my shallow knowledge.... I really appreciate all that you had done.

So what plane or planes do you usually fly?

Been a pleasure siron :D..........ask all you want in these forums and if you find out something good , let us all know about it. That's what makes this such a great place to find out stuff....make a different post for different subjects though...you will have noticed that this post started out as ILS approaches and changed to AI traffic. best to make a different heading, then other folks know to join in with their own solutions.;D ;D

I fly 747-400 for "work" and still love the Cessna 172 for sightseeing and checking out stuff..bye for now...commoner. ;)

Thats another nice airport you have there!! haha... So you are in the 747? So its you who did not clear with Ground huh??

Anyway one more question, for ILS approach, when on A/P, I reliease that ALT will be take over automatically right?

When will it take over precisely? i don't know, cuz some time it takes over, sometimes it does not.

I tried many times, I kinda figure out that once the GS is center it should take over, am I right? Hmmmmm.... but then again sometimes even when it takes over when its center with the GS, it will still go outta GS and dive right down. :( ???

Man...so many confusion here...

hehe

Yeh! Yeh! my fault as usual ;D....IMAGINE the glideslope is a laser beam that radiates UP from the start of the runway you will realize that it depends on your altitude when you actually make contact with it

Thank You yet again!! Now I am even clearer a step to ILS!! So regardless where you are, you would most proabably be able to intercept the GS, in a matter of time right?

Hmmmm..... hehe here comes another question, I tried the 777 on ILS, well I sorta OFF the A/P juz before the threshold, somehow the plane do not flare probably and infact lift off from the runway again... I had to dive the plane so much to let it land, but its not realistic anymore, it kept landing with the front wheels!!

Hmmmm any advises on this?

Thanks mate...
