Hi Doug,

You'll have to download and install a freeware program nammed "AI Carriers v2". You will find it in the FSX utilities section... or FSX Misc, I don't remember.

However, before trying to run this program, please launch Windows Update, and ensure that you have all of the updates for .NET Framework.
Also make sure that you have the Java runtimes installed, too.

This program is quite simple. Once you have installed it, it will auto-launch with FSX, just like FS Recorder for example. When you download some FSX carriers, usually in the readme you can find the instructions to make this carrier work with AI carriers.

When you are in the game, you just have to press SHIFT+J, a window appears (same look as the ATC window), and you have the choices between all the carriers, and then you can choose where to make it appear, with choices like:
- user position
- 1nm away
- 5 nm away etc...

And the cool thing is, once it has appeared, you can call the SHIFT+J window again and give the carrier instructions to go forward, turn, stop, dissapear etc... :)


Hey, I had that on a older computer and just tried to install it on my new one. Now when I start FSX I get this error while it is loading, "Could not find the main class: flightsim.aicarriers.Main. Program will exit." Then I click ok and then FS loads. The title for the box that pops up is "Java Virtual Machine Launcher". Do you know what I could do to fix it? Thanks!
