Run collectairports.exe, it came in the same .zip as TTools. (If it didn't then get a newer version of ttools).

This is your problem, you need the airport code for Brize Norton in your airport txt file.

add this and then recompile
EGVN,N51* 44.99',W1* 34.97',288

Cheers grahamwil & planespotter ive put in to the airport text file brize norton code and compiled ttools again. BUT still get no traffic. When i started this i had to put in  the aircraft text file a extra line for my vc 10 as such AC#179,490,"VC10 C1K RAF 2004" IM wondering if this aircraft is not being spotted somehow with ttools so it isnt coming up in the traffic although i have changed my vc10 aircraft cfg. errr does that all make sence sorry if it sound a bit complicated
cheers flying bart
ps Im going to the tristar to see if i have any joy with that ???

FB, check to see if your plane is even showing up in the drop down menu?

I use copies of all my flyable AC and then rename the UI manufactorer=military AI.

This way I know it's the right version if it shows in the drop down menu.

If it's there then we know it's not the airplane but either the afcad or the flight plans.

Is your radius parking big enough to have this show up?

Are you using the flyable plane from DSB for the Tornado?

If you copy the whole file and rename it AI_Tornado, then remove the panel folder completely.
Then go into the texture folder and remove any internal bmps. The VC ones are the first to go, these don't need to show for AI and just eat frame rates.

You might need DXTbmp to look at some of these files.

DXTBmp is a program that changes the format for people to paint for the most part.

Some people save their textures with MiPS and some w/out. One adds detail while the other takes away but also saves on Frame rates.

depending on what format the files are saved in you will need that program to open and view the bmps. Kirk Olssons F-16 is like this.

I always add AI to the end of my cfg title lines and then change the UI Manufactorer: to AI Military.

this way you won't loaded the flyable version and can scroll down in the drop down menu under AI military to make sure your AI loads correctly

If you change your Airfile so it won't load than it won't show in the drop down menu

all you need to do is copy the title line off the aircraft.cfg.

Go into your aircraft.txt and paste that over the Tornado line. Very simple  Wink

does the airport you are using have parking spots? If not the planes will disappear when taxing.

But it sounds more like a bad flight model. If you have another fighter that works, just use that one. rename it to typhoon(what ever the stock one is called)

Example, if you DL the NEMAI package Michael MacIntyre has a F-16 AI FM which is different that Kirk Olssons FM that comes with the flyable version.

You can rename the air file to Typhoon.air then use the aircraft.cfg that came with the NEMAI F-16. Remove the F-16 texture entries and then copy and paste the Typhoon textures on the F-16.cfg.

Copy the contact points and lights section from your typhoon and replace the ones on the F-16 sections. Your AI Typhoon should now land and TO just like our NEMAI F-16  Wink

let me know if you get stuck
