The readme file is pretty sparse...

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.

Hi,

If this is actually an FS2004 flight plan, it will suppress all "real" FSX flight plans and they won't fly.

You can use AIFP to convert that plan to true FSX format so it won't suppress the rest.

Hope this helps,

Though I didn't install it, I did download it and checked the traffic*.bgl file.

The problem is that the Traffic*.bgl file was compiled in FS9 (FS2004) format. FSX will use traffic files in FS9 format but will then ignore all traffic files in FSX format. The solution is to convert the DC10 traffic file to FSX format.

There are a couple of programs that can do this for you:

AIFPC-http://aifs2.pvdveen.net/?p=145-can convert traffic file format.

AIFP2-http://stuff4fs.com/open.asp?Folder=AIFP&JS=TRUE-a full function ai flight planning tool for FS9/FSX.

It took a lot of reading and a few youtube videos but I think I got it!  Thanks for both of your help.  AIFP is a pretty cool program.  After I got the hang of it, I have been creating AI flight plans left and right!

With this program can anything become a AI plane?

Well, not scenery.  :)

Anything that is AI or flyable can be turned into an AI aicraft.
