Yes thank you I downloaded it, but it does not contain the active flight plan.
Text-only file a flight plan with the folder, but I can not make a flight plan, unfortunately! :oops: :oops: :oops:

It sounds like you need Traffic Tools by Lee Swordy. I think you can find it on Avsim.

Feel free to post questions about making it work here, as I will check back to see how you get on. Many other MAIW forum members also know how to use this tool to compile (make) flightplans.

It is VERY useful, and I highly recommend it if you are interested in using ANY sort of AI traffic in your flightsim.

Do you have Ttools? If not you can download it from the link in any of our Readme's. This will allow you to convert the text files to a traffic.bgl.

Go and give it ago it's fun and will give you more control of what goes in your sim.

Well, the TTools made a Traffic_AV.bgl file
I use the Cloud9 Aviano base.
I do not see the beautiful HTAI F-16 models, now I am completely puzzled, or just lame! :oops: :smt005

Ok so you must make sure the aircraft titles match in the aircraft.txt file of the flight plans and the aircraft.cfg file in your F-16 aircraft folder.

Zsolt,
As Mark pointed out you need to make sure the aircraft listed in Aircraft_AV.txt match your aircraft.cfg entry.
For example in the Aircraft_Elgin.txt I have the following entry;
AC#6,500,"MAIW_HTAI_F16C_ET_88-0441" (The entry inside the quotes has to match the entry inside aircraft.cfg)
aircraft.cg entry;
title=MAIW_HTAI_F16C_ET_88-0441
if it was labeled title=MAIW_HTAI_F16C_ET_88_0441 then this aircraft would not show up.
I hope this helps

Hi Zsolt,

Don't give up yet, you're nearly there! You will soon get the hang of it!


Before you use TTools to compile the flightplans, you must first make sure that the titles are correct. When you have done that, you are then ready to run TTools and compile the 3 .txt files into a Traffic.bgl file.

As the others have already said, you must make the "title=" entries match each other exactly.

Here is an example Aircraft.txt file, which is one of the 3 files TTools will need to make your flightplan:

AC#1,244,"DWAI HS748 BSF VT-EAT"
AC#2,244,"DWAI HS748 BSF VT-EAV"
AC#3,244,"DWAI HS748 BSF VT-EHL"
AC#4,289,"HTAI Beechcraft King Air B200 4B-S ARC VT-ENL"
AC#5,289,"HTAI Beechcraft King Air B200 4B-S ARC VT-ENM"
AC#6,289,"HTAI Beechcraft King Air B200 4B-S ARC VT-EPA"
AC#7,408,"HTAI Gates Learjet 29 VT-EHS"
AC#8,408,"HTAI Gates Learjet 29 VT-EIH"

There is also an Airports.txt file (this should contain the ICAO codes of all the airports visited by the aircraft in your flightplan), and a Flightplans.txt file.

Now, let's look at the last entry in the list above:

AC#8,408,"HTAI Gates Learjet 29 VT-EIH"

Look at this "^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^" in the line above, the red bit between the two " " symbols. This is the title of one of the aircraft that will be used in my flightplan, and the letters have to exactly match an entry in a file in my FS9 installation.

If you go into your "Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft" folder and go to the folder that contains the AI aircraft you want to use, you will find a file called "aircraft.cfg". Open this file with notepad, and look for a section where there are lots of entries that start with the line:

[fltsim.0]

Then further down you will find the next one:

[fltsim.1]

etc.

These entries are where all your aircraft are specified. They will usually all be together, either at the top of the "aircraft.cfg" file, or at the bottom.

Let's have a look at my example. I've gone to my Aircraft folder and found my Learjet folder. I've opened the "aircraft.cfg", and I'm looking at the [fltsim.x] entry that specifies the Learjet that I want to appear in my flightplan as "AC#8":

[fltsim.1]
title=HTAI Gates Learjet 29 VT-EIH <<<<<<< THIS IS THE IMPORTANT LINE
sim=AI Gates Learjet 25
model=
texture=Gates Learjet 29_VT-EIH
ui_variation=ARC VT-EIH
ui_manufacturer=HTAI
ui_type=Learjet 29
atc_airline=
atc_parking_codes=ARC
atc_parking_types=RAMP
atc_heavy=0

Within all of these [fltsim.x] entries the first line after [fltsim.x] is usually:

title=*********

This has to be exactly the same as what you have inbetween the " " symbols in the Aircraft.txt file that you use with TTools to make your flightplan. Also notice that in the above entry in the "aircraft.cfg" file, there are no " " symbols. They are only in the aircraft.txt file.

It is usually best to copy the entry you have in the "aircraft.cfg" file, and paste it into the aircraft.txt file, rather than the other way round.

Now save the text file, and start TTools :wink:
