Hello,

       Well first , have you opened the Settings /Display/Traffic and checked the box's, uncheck the General Aircraft and check Airlines, that will help,

       The other thing if i may suggest is to change the paint jobs of the default aircraft into other real world airlines rather than deleting them , IMO the models are not bad at all for Ai ,have a look in the download section ,

       Search for Tutorials on Ai and download Lee Swordy's TTools and Afcad , they take a while to read but i found they were excellent and will give you all the information needed for Ai,

        As for "Blow up Ai" i think you mean increase the amount of traffic in the sim,lol, well again you can change the amount of traffic by changing the percent[the amount of] in the Settings /traffic/,

        As for Ai blocking the runway you can use TTools to change the times for arrival and departing aircraft so as to keep the traffic flowing better by the flight plans, i take it you have one of the Ai addons for increasing the traffic? easy to install i know but you will get a better flow in and out of the airports by putting them in yourself but this is only my opion.   

       Hope this helps,

        Cheers,

         Roger.

The default traffic file is located in your "Scenery\World\Scenery" file and is named "Traffic030528.bgl".
At least that is the name of my default file.

What you can do is use TTools, by Lee Swordy, to decompile that BGL file into it's component
parts. You will wind up with 3 text files defining the aircraft used, the airports and the flightplans.

You can edit the flightplans text file to remove the offending GA aircraft entirely or send them
somewhere else.

TTools comes with a fairly extensive "readme" file explaining the format of the various files
and examples on the use of TTools.

Once you make your edits you re-compile the three text files into a BGL file and replace
the original traffic BGL in your FS2004 scenery directory.

As to the "Soar" and  other ficticious airlines, there is a fairly simple way to replace them
with real-world airlines.
Simply download re-paints of real-world aircraft for the various default models. Then
install them as directed by the instructions included in the download.
Next, you edit the aircraft.cfg files for those default aircraft, replacing the
"flightsim.xx" entries with those from your downloaded real-world aircraft.
You must, however, keep the "title=" line intact since this is what the flightplan
calls out. It is generally something like "title=Boeing 737-400 Paint1" or
"title=Boeing 747-400 Paint3".

Another approach is editing the TTools aircraft text file and replacing those
aircrat titles with the titles of your downloaded real-world aircrat.
I've done the replacement both ways in my 4 seperate FS2004 installations
and my FSX installation.

In any event, make backups of any files you are going to modify. The exercise
will serve as a good learning experience which will come in handy for "tweaking"
FS2004 or FSX in the future
