Even the beginners tutorial was on the verge of impossible to follow. It said extract the three zipped folders into a permanent folder in My Documents.

Then upon opening the TRC exe, it comes up with the settings designation thing. And in the tutorial it states to designate them to files in the 'TTools folder'. What TTools folder!?!

The TTools folder is wherever you have TTools installed. It contains 'TTools.exe' and the collections of .txt files associated with the traffic*.bgl you are working on.

Sorry about that. The "permanant" folder is just a folder that you will keep. not neccecaraly in My Documents.

First off, I recommend reading the TTools help file (readme.htm). It will help by covering the basic concepts of AI traffic creation, whether done manually or using one of the utilities mentioned

The .txt files only appear after you have 'decompiled' a 'traffic*.blg' file with TTools. By default they are created in the TTools program folder.

There will be 3 .txt files associated with each traffic*.bgl file you decompile. They will appear in the left pain (Source Files) of the TTools program window.

The help file will explain what these file are and how they get edited..

My guess is he means 'aircraft'. Wink

Pengyman89,

In the TRC main window: the 'Select aircraft' pane only lists the a/c in the current 'aircraft*.txt' file.

You can add a/c to this list using Editors>Edit Aircraft.

In the Edit Aircraft window, click 'New'. Open the drop down list on the 'Aircraft title' line. This list is all the a/c variations in your ...<FS9>\Aircraft\... folder (equates to the [fltsim.x] sections', 'title=' lines in the aircraft.cfg files). Select an a/c.

Enter a 'Cruise speed' (found in the [Reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg file). Click the 'Add' and then the 'Save' button.

The new entry is appended to the 'aircraft*.txt' file and is now displayed in the main window, 'Select Aircraft' pane.

Dave

P.S. F16fightingfalcon: Thanks for pointing out TRC. It is a very useable utility that I was previously unaware of.
