Military AI Works

What other traffic are you running? If you have a mix of FS9 and FSX traffic bgls, traffic won't show.

Thank you for the advisory. I might have to pull my other traffic files for awhile and consider it a tour of duty in Australia. I do have a combination of traffic files so I will give it a try.

Rob,

I have found a few helicopters in a few locations when running just the ADF_AI_FSX.bgl and when I add the RAAF Traffic files I never see any fixed wing aircraft. Thus, the Trafficvoz files must create conflicts because if I run these VOZ files you never see the ADF traffic. Perhaps this feedback will serve as a good test?

G'day Keith,

The VOZ AI bgl is problematic; sometimes it behaves as an FSX traffic file but when put through AI Flightplan Converter it shows as an FS9 file. I recompiled it and then all was well. Both files now work on my computer - you may need to do the same.

Alright, thanks Mate!

So, what you're saying is - if you have FSX with FS9 flightplans installed, the FSX ADF package won't work? In which case we'd be better off downloading the FS9 package and installing that?

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any of the aircraft. The MAIW Hawk package shows up a treat because I didn't install the ADF 67/69 Sqn files

Correct. You need to run all your plans through the flightplan converter to make them all FS9 or FSX versions. Combinations mean a loss of traffic overall. This is true no matter whose plans you use. Personally, I use all ADE airfileds (I convert any AFCADs to FSX format) and ensure all my plans are FSX, too.

There is more and more to this FSX lark than meets the eye. Useful info there, Rob.

Here's a new observation.

I just re-introduced the FS9 ADF AI files into FSX without any conversion and everything finally shows up. The Flight1 Addon Converter X program must be doing the work automatically. So far so good.

can you still get this anywhere?

ADF AI for FSX? Yes, at www.vistaoz.org (new version). Flight1 Addon Converter X? Don't know.

I must apologize for the bad info.

FlightSimTools is where you will need to look for the Addon Converter X program. It only had the Flight1 wrapper for purchase associated with it.

Just do a web browser, put the www in front and dot com after FlightSimTools. I think this is still an active site. They also did the Helicopter AI program that builds AI flight plans for choppers you have in your aircraft directory. So far I am seeing the ADF planes without using any of the previously named tools or procedures.

ADF AI for FSX is a genuine FSX flightplan. Problems only come when the two plan types are mixed.

Thanks again!

I am running nearly every MAIW package that I had in FS9 unconverted and even have some TrafficX which are FSX and now the ADF unconverted. So far so good. However, I think the unconverted flight plans are conflicting with the TrafficX because I have yet to see any of the civilian Helicopter traffic that should show up from that product. I'm happy even if I find out the schedules are a little off.
