Hi all,

I am trying to add AI aircraft to fs9 i have read instructions over and over but i have no AI traffic i am using simple AI and ttools if poss please can you give a list of most common probs and i will try them ALL, my wife is giving me hell for spending every evening on the PC but i am not going to give up untill i have my own traffic

thank you all,

Ian.

"i am not going to give up untill i have my own traffic " Definitely a step in the right direction. Let's look at it another way:

As mentioned, we all have FS9 airports with accompanying AF2 files so NOT having airport(s) is not your problem.

The actual file which controls the AI flights is a *.bgl file; usually traffic_XXXXXX.bgl. It is placed in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\Scenery\ by TTools.

Here's the three (3) filess and these work!



The traffic_XXXXXX.bgl is Compiled using TTools from three (3) files:
airports_xxxxxx.txt
aircraft_xxxxxx.txt
flightplans_xxxxxx.txt

Now, if this sounds complicated, I cannot understand why.

Any errors in the *.txt files will be identified by TTools and it WILL NOT COMPILE if any of the three.txt file have errors.

Basically, each file only needs one line (except the airports_xxxxx.txt) because we need two(2) airports. Only one aircraft is required and only one flightplan to make it work; after that, one can add as many aircraft, airports and flihgtplans as wanted.

Again, hoping this helps

Decompile it in Ttools and look at the *.txt files
Make yours the same only different

Thank you i now have AI traffic, i will be back with more questions

once again thanks.

Ian
