make sure they are GMAX, it will work with FSDS one but the GMAX are less FPS heavy

I assume you have a flightplans file and an Airports file.
You probably have a Aircraft.txt file, open that, and copy the title line of the machine you want as AI in a new line or over an existing one

FSDS2 aircraft work fine as AI

here's a hint on what I do to save frame rates.

Copy the plane that you want to use as AI into a new folder. Rename it AI_F-16, or what ever plane you are using.

First remove the panel folder as it will kill your frame rates.

Then rename this ui_manufacturer= from what is there to AI or as I do, Military AI. This separates them from the flyable planes.


Next in title line: title=F-15C Eagle add AI to what ever is there and copy that line into your airplanes.txt file for ttools.

People also remove the sound folder but for me if your going to have realistic AI planes you need to hear them as well

Where can i find that airplanes.txt file? Thata all thats confusing me.

once you run ttools you will get that plus airports and flightplans.txt file.

Just add them to that and compile
