I taxi her towards the gate, and get a good view of a Continental AI plane (That is so cool I think I'm gonna pee my pants Embarrassed!  The tails of some default planes are in the background though Angry!  I gotta gid rid of those.)

The only easy way to do that is to delete all of the stock MSFS flightplans (including general aviation flights) or take an airline you like and assign that airline's planes to the flights instead of the stock planes.

First, download TrafficTools by Lee Swordy...

as for F1 style taxi'ing  a ryan air plane did that in manchester a few weeks ago they went so fast and onto an active runway without clearance, a departing A320 had to slam its breaks on full to avoid hitting it. Just because the pilots for this low cost airline wanted to save a couple of minutes a day, they almost killed 150+ people I wont say southwest are like that i have never had the pleausure of flying with them Roll Eyes so i dont know, but it wouldnt surprise me.

Uh oh... I'm going to Florida on Spring Break via AirTran Airways, and the retyurn flight is operated by RyanAir Embarrassed I guess I should be worried lol...

WRONG!   Wink  Easiest way by far is to simply rename the traffic030528.bgl (I think the numbers in that file name vary..that is what mine is) located in your FS9/scenery/world/scenery folder by simply changing the .bgl to .lbg or something.  It disables all default traffic.  Works for me!  Grin

Really?  I go to Yucca, so I'm gonna have to say it:  Ghattis=Ghetto Shocked Roll Eyes

On a different note,  I can't believe talking about SWA would spark enough posts to make a "flaming" folder thingy.  That's pretty cool.  And you know, we really can't say that one airline is unsafe and another isn't.  There will be bad pilots and good pilots for every airline, and the FAA and other aeronautical administrations wouldn't allow an airline that was a true hazard to fly.  And if any of ya'll have pocket pc's or Palm PDA's, I just bought I game at the COMPUSA in Lubbock today called Airline Manager for ( Shocked) $2.88!!!!!!  It's really cool.

I figured jay only wanted to get rid of the commercial flights- not the general av. ones Wink...

P.S. Jay- If you like that sort of game- I found a good one called Airlines 2 for my PC- it's pretty cheap, like $10 Grin
