The traffic files you installed are in FS9 format. While FSX can use FS9 traffic file, it will not use FS9 and FSX traffic files at the same time. If it sees an FS9 traffic file(s) it runs those files and ignores the default FSX trafficAircraft and trafficBoats (ships and ferries) .bgls.

Therefore you'll only have the FS9 (PAI) scheduled flights, and for those you have to be at the right place/right time. You won't have global traffic.

The solution, if you want your FSX default traffic back, is to convert the FS9 files to FSX format. There are a few programs that can do this for you. One of the easiest to use is 'Flightplan BGL converter', download here....http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?software. It's at the bottom of the page.

Ok this is driving me nuts. I'm trying to get these darn planes going and I can't with WOAI. I have gone on their site and downloaded from MS the .netframe 2.0 that was needed. As I was tring to get this downloaded, it stopped and stated that I have another version of .netframe on my PC. So I went to delete that one and it was showing that I have .netframe 2.0 serivce pack1. It would not let me delete from my PC cause it was tied to other programs.

So how am I supposed to get this stuff going? I do alot of flying so this would help out if anyone knows how to direct me.

Thanks JB

JB. This means you already have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your PC. You shouldn't need to remove it or install it again. Try using the WOAI Installer.

So after doing this my default FSX traffic will coincide with my WOAI traffic?

Tyler,

Yes, as long as all WoAI traffic files are converted, you'll see both the WoAI and default traffic. Not sure what you mean by 'coincide'. You should not have default and WoAI ac flying the same schedule, unless by sheer coincidence. Every ai flight is on it's own fixed schedule. WoAI are on real world schedules, while the defaut are fiction.

One thing I forgot....when installing the 'Flightplan BGL converter'...it requires the installation of Java Runtime. If you don't have Java installed or prefer not to install it, another option is AI Flight Planner. It is a full function ai traffic file creator/editor/explorer. It has an auto-convert function. It requires .net 2.0, which you already have installed if the WoAI installer functions.

AI Flight Planner-http://members.shaw.ca/aifp/.

Note: once you convert traffic files, the WoAI Expert mode will not be able to show flight plan information. It can't read the FSX format. However, AI Flight Planner can give you all the info (airports, arrival/departures...etc.) for any traffic file.

Sorry, bad choice of words, I meant in general having default traffic as well as WOAI traffic.
