Hi everyone. I was wondering if somebody could just give me a basic on something. I have beenn using TTools for a while now. I have NEVER done anything to it. The only thing I ever do is download aircrafts from Project AI, then run the installer and there you go, I have ancraft in my airports, (obviously if that is where the flight plan is programmed).

My question: How do I insert a certain aircraft to be at a certain airport. If and when I do this, can I also make it so that that aircraft is at that airport whenever I go there?

EXAMPLE: Let's say I wanted to put 2 Tigermoths at a little local airport near me. Everytime I go to this airport...there they are, collecting dust! Can this be done?

Thanks for your time

Easy, Dave.

If you want them to be more or less static, just create a weekly flightplan containing 1 short flight out and back to a nearby airport at a time when you wouldn't normally be there. They'll go and return - but you'll never see em do it!

If you want em always to be in the same places, you might have to mess about with radii, but that's easy enough.

Hello and Thank You roger for for your response. To do this, what do I do, open up the compiler?

Dave,

When making changes to the Traffic.bgl file via Traffic Tools, always start by running the Decompiler. Then edit Flight Plans.txt, Aircraft.txt or Airports.txt (whichever of the three are necessary for what you are trying to do.) Always finish by running the Compiler for the changes to take effect in fs2002.

Good luck,

Erik

Yes, Flight Plans.txt, Aircraft.txt or Airports.txt are main files to use. I love Traffic Tools and can offer you an advice.

Before you compile your new flight plan, read the following:

The airports.txt file is fine and should not be messed with. It has all 1,345 airports that Traffic Tools supports. You can use it as a reference to find the airport code which flightplan.txt needs, but you never need to edit airports.txt.

When you download a plane, you need to add it to the aircraft.txt file. The AC#NUMBER is the next number in line on aircraft.txt - So, if you have 40 aircraft, your new AC will be AC#41.

Then, you can use that in flightplans.txt, the heart of Traffic Tools to ad that aircraft to the list and then create the line explained in readme.doc

readme.doc has good detailed information on configuring your flight plans.

I hope this helps.
