AI flying certain waypoints

[BA777-300ER]

Hello together I'm new here and would like to ask how I can tell my AI traffic to fly to certain waypoints?

Hi BA777-300ER and welcome to the site and the forums.

To make your aircraft fly to certain waypoints is to make a new AFCAD at the location that you wish, once at the location and in whatever programme you are using (I suggest AFCAD as it is easy) open the map view in your sim. Then press the windows key on your key borad so that you will go to your desktop, then open the AFCAD programme and go file and new airport and you can copy and paste the longtitude and latitude from the map in your sim by pressing Ctrl C to copy the info and then paste it in the correct locaition in AFCAD by pressing Ctrl V and add all the other info e.g. Airport name and so on.
Then make a runway and make it 33 in length and 3 in width and make it water. Make sure that you uncheck the markings on it though. and save it.

That is the AFCAD complete.

Now you have to make the flightplans.

Open up a flightplaning programme and select your aircraft that you want to have flying. Then you need to add the info so that your aircraft knows where to go buy inputting the airport code etc...
then save and it should be good to go. Make sure you can save it in your Scenery/World/Scenery folder though.

All things that you need should be in the tools section on the main page.

Hope that helps

Hi DaleRFU,
I'm also new to this site and also to waypoints (see my post: Good Greece).
After reading your tips above, I was quickly able to succeed with a few trial runs with promising results, many thanks however;

1. Is there any way this can be done wheels up? (planning some Greek firefighting sceneries with Canadair cl215's and 415's)

2.I had a couple of desktop crashes! Could this be due to the close proximity of the waypoint afcads to the airport nearby?

Many thanks in advance for any light you may shed

Best Regards,
Nigel
