I searched for this and couldnt find anything specific. Could someone point me in the right direction for creating a traffic bgl for a particular airplane?

Thanks

Hey Byron,
if you download TTools, the manual included in it describes everything you need to know about creating flight plans for AI aircraft.

You may also want to take a look at www.projectai.com as they have loads of flight plans.

Good luck.

Sorry but I am not sure what you mean by recognize all of your aircraft. Tongue

Do you mean the aircraft that you assign to a particular flight plan? Please be more specific as to what you are trying to do and also what kind of errors TTools gives you. That'll give me a better idea on how to help you.

Sorry,

I meant that Ttools does not show all the planes I have in my aircraft folder in fs9. I have a military plane that I would like to set up a ai plan for.

hmm...sounds like you need to add the right line to your aircraft.txt file after decompiling the traffic.bgl

the readme file that comes with traffic tools is pretty good at explaining this, but I'm having problems as well... it keeps saying that the airport is not in the airport.txt file even though it is... Wink

Good luck with your traffic endeavors!

Hi there again Byron.
when you decompile your traffic file, you will end up with 3 files; an airports, aircraft and flight plans text files. The ones you need to worry about here are the aircraft and flight plans text files. In the decompiled aircraft file, make sure there is a line for the military aircraft that you described above. Give it a number like the TTools manual asks for. Make sure that the name in that line is the same as in your aircraft.cfg file in your aircraft's folder.
Then make sure that the number you gave that aircraft in the decompiled file is the same number assigned to the flight plan in the decompiled flight plans text file.

I hope this helps. If it doesn't, let me know. Maybe we can look at each one of your text and .cfg files to see where it goes bad. ???

Good luck buddy.

simple fix.

Copy the 3 files you are using for your military flight planes.

Rename them

aircraft_Military.txt
airports_Military.txt
flightplans_Military.txt

now put these 3 new txt files into the ttools folder, complile these new files and you will have a new military BGL file.

I do this for most of my packages, it keeps the aircraft separate and makes it easier to edit and fix mistakes Wink

If there is an airshow with in 2 states of me I'm there&&&&&&

I may be way off base, but you must add aircraft manually with TTools... It doesn't offer an Aircraft Collector (like the Airport Collector). You must add each aircraft individually (other than the default) to the aircraft.txt file.

P.S. I wouldn't create .BGLs for each aircraft... that could take up a lot of hard drive space, I would break things down into the following...

General Aviation (Small prop/jet aircraft)
Commercial Aircraft (727/737/Etc)
Military Aircraft (F14/F15/Etc)

HP Pavillion = p7-1233w
3.20GHz Processor
8GB of RAM (expandable to 32GB)
Radeon 7560D - 4059MB
1TB SATA Internal Hard Drive
