Hi everyone,

    I've had FS2002 for awhile now, but just got around to installing it last week. I'm slowly getting the hang of things, and have actually landed completely on a runway twice now. 

    Anyways, I've got a couple of questions.

1. Is there some way to change the default settings for 'Create A Flight'? I don't fly a Cessna and I don't like Meigs. I'd really like it if I could set it for a different plane and location when it opens.

2. Has anyone made a Terrain Avoidance add-on for the autopilot? Low-level flight (500') is fun, until you smack into a 600' high hill.

3. I downloaded the B-52 AI program that adds AI BUFFS & KC-135's to Barksdale and Minot AFB's. (along with Kotaro Akikawa's B-52H) Now, the AI instructions say to copy certain things into the 'airport text file' and other things into the 'aircraft text file'. Well, I've checked the entire FS2002 program, and I'll be darned if those text files exist. Can anyone give me the "B-52 AI Installation For Dummies" version of installing this? I'm at a total loss here.

    Well, I'm sure I'll have more questions, but that's it for now. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out with this.

    Take care.

Well, sort of . . .

First off, you need to get Traffic Tools (by Lee Swordy), which is a program that takes apart a file in your FS that controls all the AI in there.

You can get that here:

If the current interface doesn't suit you, there are several others out there, as well as a document source that explains in detail how to utilize the actual text documents themselves.  Just do some sort of search for the Traffic Tools by Lee Swordy Instructions, or somesuch.

THEN there will be the files necessary to modify with the downloaded flight plans.

A girl!!!!!!! Wow.... Welcome

Reply #1:  Yep, Flight Plan sets the AI level at 1%, FS settings are set to 100% AI traffic.

Reply #2: Not JUST a girl, but a girl who can fly rings around alot of guys in a B-52 or an F-16. I just can't add AI traffic or land. Actually, I can land just fine, but so far only 3 times was actually on a runway.

Hi.

I did a file search in the entire FS2002 directory, just 1 copy of flights.bgl.  Oh well, it was a good suggestion.

I'll keep trying what I can, if I still don't get my AI traffic to show up, then I'm going to uninstall FS2K2, do a cleaning/defrag, reinstall and try again.

Please keep the ideas coming guys. Something's gotta work!

Hi everyone,

    Here's an update on the missing AI flights: I downloaded and installed AI Flight Creator, which is supposed to run with TTools, which I also have. I set up AI FC, and when I ran it I got a "Filtering Errors: Checking ackup file date Error 53 file not found".

    I don't have clue if the missing file is part of AI FC, TTools, FS2K2 or a part of the AI flights. But I'm getting pretty annoyed with FS2K2 not showing any AI flights that I add.

I was just beginning to wonder if there was such a thing as a female in a cockpit.    Even more so on a simulator.  I think a poll would show most of us r males.
My sisters and my Mum just can't understand whats up with me, - I think just the same of them!
Welcome Sue and enjoy the site. 8)
