AI traffic

[bookman]

Hi All,
I have just started to use MS2004 - I ported over from X-Plane on my Mac and so I hope I have sent this to the right forum. My problem is that I have installed AI traffic and when I go to view the said traffic I have two of the same aircraft, I have taken the AI planes out of my aircraft folder but the problem still appears. I would appriciate any help or advice that anyone can give me.

Thanks in advance

This happens when the 'new' ai flightplans are an edit of the default flightplans. Typically the author will simply substitute ai aircraft with 'real world' liveries for the default ai aircraft (usually airlines) and recompile the flightplans with a new name.

As 2004 can have multiple flightplans (traffic_*.bgl files), you end up with  multiple instances of the generic ga and commercial flights.

A few ways too remedy this:

Edit the duplicate flights out of the flightplans using TTools, a daunting task.  ;)

Use only one of the flightplans at any time by moving the others (out of the sim), or renaming the other 'traffic_*.bgl' files (something like 'traffic_*.bbb).

Stick to  add-on flightplans as you would get from AI web sites, such as ProjectAI. These are normally 'custom' built and do not include any part of the default flightplans.

Hallo Dave,
Thanks for the advice, I will keep the info for the next time but unfortunately I have had to re-install as Simcontol completely wrecked the  simulator. I could not use any add on - (active-camera), still it's a learning curve for me at the moment but not very impressive.

I will press on and hope for the best, again thanks for the info much appreciated.

Yours Aye!

Danny
