Hi,Original Aircraft you flyAI aircraft are those planes that FS controls and flys around.AFCAD files are modified airports that include more parking spaces and such for those AI Planes. Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

That's right and unbeknownst to me until recently the AI stands for aritificial intelligence.

However, just downloading and installing AI planes does not automatically make them fly around in FS9. They also need to be combined with flightplans and airport files. Lee Swordy has a program that does this called TTools. Probably still available here at AVSIM.Jim

Or you can download and install complete AI packages that include planes and plans. Then you don't need to do anything special.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
