Switched from FSX to P3Dv6
Getting use to the new simulator and wanted to know, where would I place all my AI Aircraft.

Re: Switched from FSX to P3Dv6
I put them all in a folder titled "AI Aircraft" and placed it in the "SimObjects" folder. Then find your "Simobjects.cfg" file, open it with notepad, and enter the following as the last entry:
[Entry.10]
PATH=SimObjects\AI Aircraft
TITLE=AI Aircraft
ACTIVE=true
REQUIRED=true
The simobjects.cfg file is found under C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v6\
I would make a copy of the Simobjects.cfg file before I opened it.
Someone may have a better way. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Reggie

I have mine in a folder outside the sim.
You can put the folder anywhere and then just point the PATH line in Reggie's reply to its location.

And it shows your aircraft on AIFP3? Thats the flight planner I'm using.Jorgen wrote: 11 May 2025, 11:43 I have mine in a folder outside the sim.

Re: Switched from FSX to P3Dv6
I am trying to figure out why my AI Aircraft are not showing up. Do I not place the flightplans in the same place as I would have in FSX?

AI flight plans always go into \Scenery\World\Scenery.

You can also create an AI traffic folder anywhere on your pc with whatever name you want to call it that has your traffic bgl's in it. Just be sure that the bgl's are in a scenery folder. Ie J:\I Traffic\scenery

My AI Aircraft is in the folder "AI Aircraft" and I believe I made it visible.

Re: Switched from FSX to P3Dv6
Make sure that each set of flight plans is for FSX or P3D. If you have one set of plans for FS9, no aircraft will show up. Also, do you have parking spaces at your airports for the aircraft in your flight plans?
