I have compiled - using TTools - flightplans for the default vintage a/c (Jenny, DC3, Vega etc) plus an add-on DSB Tornado so that from 14:00 every day they take off from Biggin Hill to Gatwick at two minute intervals. The flightplans compiled without problems, so I don't believe there is an error in the flight plan codes, however, when I fire up FS at just before 14:00 at Biggin Hill, the right aircraft are all sitting on the ramp; but at 14:00 they dont start engines, radio tower, move etc; I waited for about half an hour and still nothing happened.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi G-EORGE. I believe the times you put in your flight plan are considered GMT by FS. You'll have to compensate for the time difference between your local/computer time and GMT when you fire up the sim.

I hope this works for you. If I am wrong, I am sure someone else will chime in with the correct explanation.

At Gatwick or BH it may just be an adjustment for daylight savings time or whatever it's called in GB. Roll Eyes

In any case, when looking for your ai in the sim, set GMT, not Local time.

A good tool for checking out/trouble shooting ai is the FS2004 Traffic Toolbox SDK.
.
One of the modules is the Traffic Explorer, available on your flight window menu.
