So do I just make the first and last airports 5B2 in the Flightplans?

One more thing. Can you go into the hangars you place in ADE? I'm not sure if I crashed from hitting a wall or just going in.

If they are library objects and have the doors open then you should be able to go inside them

It all depends on the plan you want your ai to fly....
How about the first question?

...That one. It seems too easy.

It is quite easy, and explained in the Traffic Tools help file (Readme.htm).......the best thing to do is read it thoroughly and keep it handy for reference.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Well, I officially have my first add-on on SimV. It's this airport modification. It's in the FSX scenery. Someone put a 5B2 on Avsim :'( but I think mine looks better :). Except I didn't include the parking lot like he did :'(. I don't think I'll get this flight plan thing. So if anyone has  the time, the airport is out there to give some plans to.

Will do for next time. I am already working on a more updated version. Seems like I always find something to improve on.

Unfortunately Dave is correct.  ADE has a fault finder that helps deal with problems.  You can run it from the menu Tools > Fault Finder.  This identifies the problems that Dave mentions.  The manual offers some idea as to what is wrong and what can be done to correct them.

If you look at the airport in Google Earth or maps, you will see why I did that. If I make taxiways with no lines or lights, will ai be able to know where they are?

You can make taxi links and apron links with no markings or lights. AI only need the invisible path.

AI needs a complete path to follow.
