September 11, 200916 yr Hi all,I was wondering if there was a tool out there that can remove a single AI flight from the bgl file. I like to fly real world flights however it's always a nuisance when you either hear ATC calling out your flight number to the duplicate AI aircraft or see your flight as an AI flight arriving at your destination airport at the same time. I usually just use ttools to decompile the airline bgl file, search for the flight that I'm about to fly, temporarily remove it, then recompile the file again. I was just wondering if there was a tool available that can do this whole process for you or at least make it easier. I've found AI Swapper but that just deactivates an entire bgl file which can lead to removing an entire airline. Thanks for any advice!
September 11, 200916 yr Hi,You are certainly doing it the hard way. :)The easiest thing to do is to download and install the Traffic Tools SDK.FS9:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857FSX:Download at the MS Insider site.Once installed, you will have a new Tools menu in FS. First set the time and day you are going to fly in FS (to load the AI aircraft). Choose Tools/Explorer, find that AI flight in the listing, right click it, and choose Delete. That flight will be deleted from the AI zone around your aircraft. If the flight shows up again (sometimes as you are approaching the destination airport) just delete it again.Hope this helps, Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page
September 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the tip! It'd be great if Microsoft allowed an option where you could enter an airline and flight number and just automatically check for and delete the AI plane every so often on its own. Perhaps somebody out there with greater tech intellect than I could develop something in the future. Thanks again.
September 15, 200916 yr Yep that would be great, alright.BTW, if you click on the heading in the Traffic Explorer, you can sort by that column - makes it faster to find that certain flight. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page
