Is there any way that I can take out my default airlines from the gates and airports and replace them with realistic airlines that actually do fly?

Yes..check out the 'sticky' at the top of this forum. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1094830172

You'll no doubt have further questions, so please indicate what FS version you're using when posting them.. Wink

Not quite sure what you mean...'will my new traffic become my downloaded planes in FSX ?'

If you've just downloaded new planes, then no. FS does not automatically generate AI flights. All flights are 'programmed' in a file, sometimes referred to an AI Traffic file. It/they contain the 'flightplans' for every AI flight.

If you're unfamiliar with AI traffic files, download Traffic Tools v2.02 from http://www.simviation.com/fs2004utilities1.htm. It's for FS2004, but the concepts described in the help file, 'Readme.htm', are the same in FSX....or... If you have the FSX-SDK installed, you probably have a similar document in the 'Traffic Toolbox SDK'.

If, on the other hand, you have downloaded and properly installed traffic packages (like those from WoAI) that include both aircaft and traffic file then they should fly whether you remove the default traffic file or not...

RE: your earlier ??..'Which one of suggested downloads are the best??'..

Depends on what type af ai traffic you're looking for. WoAI is a good place to start, particularly for real world commercial flights.
