I tried it but it all screwed up. Tells you to place it in the FS2004 Night Time Folder???? Will wait to see what it is all about.

Doesn't seem to want to work, or start or do anything!

Does anyone know which version of FS it is intended for?

I'm unfamiliar with all of this....what does it do exactly??

Well, AI Smooth is supposed to allow ATC to more or less send AI aircraft into a temporary holding pattern whenever there are too many a/c trying to land/take off, in effect allowing for more opportunities for the AI a/c to land/takeoff. The holding pattern is basically just a rather extended missed approach taking more than normal time to return to the field for landing. This has never really satisfied me in the way it works, and AI Separation always seemed to confuse the issue for me as it required some setting choices that were unclear to me. I don't know exactly what this application does, other than the implied assistance with backed up taxi to take off and over stacked up for landing situations, so will have to await the arrival of the manual 'shortly'. Once having read same perhaps just what it does will come clear. Just need to keep an eye out for the manual to appear.

BTW, the catagory listed on avsim is FS 2004 Utility, therefore it is for FS9, unless the listing is in error!

Well reading this kinda question of whether anybody has got it to work superfluous.
I did look at this FS2004 Night Time, but I decided against installing something from 2004 that I have no idea what it will do to my setup.

This program appears to be a copy of FS Night Time, previously uploaded by an author of another name. Don't waste too much time waiting for a manual.

In addition, the supposed author's e-mail address is bogus! WTF! Maybe something nefarious?

Hopefully then the guy just put up the wrong proggy, but it does sound like a scam.
