February 16, 201214 yr Hi,I'm running FSX Accelerator on WinXP sp3. I've successfully managed to get World of AI up and running after converting the files with aifpc. I wanted some small planes so thought I'd try GA-Traffic. Everything seems to work properly - I collect data check the settings - everything pointing where it should - select the planes I want to see - deselct the whole world and then choose UK airports only - then click on Generate Flightplans. It shows a blur of filenames being generated and then says generating bgl. Trouble is there is no bgl created in the scenery/world/scenery folder. All files are from 2006 approx. nothing from 2012. The aircraft are present in my simobjects\aiaircraft folder but there are no flightplans to go with them elsewhere.Can anyone help with this one,Thanks for looking,Duke
February 16, 201214 yr There may be a conflicting FS9 bgl. Are you sure there is absolutely NO FS9 flightplan left? Happy Flying, Clem Wu Beta Tester for OZx, Iris Simulations and Shade.
February 16, 201214 yr Try this free program ( http://www.voidtools.com/ ) it is called everything, it is far superior to the MS search engine, you let it build it's database on your machine and then search for Traffic, it will find any files or folders you have with Traffic in the name, and as such will discover where your .bgl file ended up, you can the move the .bgl to your scenery/world/scenery folder and also readjust the traffic generator's paths to suit. I do a bit of scenery work for the FS community and find Everything an invaluable resource for finding various files.I am a bit vague on the last bit as I am not certain what GA Traffic is, are you just referring to GA traffic in general, or is it an actual program? I would be interested to know.
February 16, 201214 yr Author Hi,In order...no FSX installed in program files - but not on Vista, XP Pro. Can't find any flight plan, but will give this 'everything' program a go to see if I can track it down. GA-Traffic is a free program off of Avsim's website that generates GA Ai for fs9 and fsx.thanks for the replies.Duke

February 17, 201214 yr Author @awfHi,Checked my FSX.cfg and I've got an entry that readsSimObjectPaths.6=SimObjectsaiaircraftthis is in the [Main] section. Is this what you meant?I'm in the process of downloading 'Everything' to search for all bgl files, because I don't seem to have a traffic.bgl on the system and I certainly don't seem to have any bgl files created later than 2007 despite running GA-traffic like a gazillion times!Will keep you posted :)Duke
February 18, 201214 yr Author @AvianHi,Just run Everywhere to look for traffic.* and *.bgl. If found 26 entries of the form Traffic_000_WoA_aircrafttype.bgl and one Traffic_EGPF.bgl. The former being created by World of AI, and the latter I think is a leftover from Airport Enhancer X (which didn't work either :( )So I still don't know where my traffic.bgl file has gone or what to do about it.Thanks all for your help.Duke
February 18, 201214 yr Author Hi,I've just tried running GA-Traffic again but with the 'Everything' window still open to show all files in order of creation. This shows files as they are made in real time and it shows all the model, sound, texture files etc that GA-Traffic is creating but at the end it doesn't show the Traffic.bgl that GA says is being created as having been created. At least that's my take on what GA is doing. Is this right? Does it create a traffic.bgl file. And if so what could be preventing it from being able to write it on my system? Do I need to reinstall FSX outside of the program files folder? Would that sort everything?Thanks again,Duke
February 23, 201214 yr Author Hi,Despite not being able to find traffic.bgl it seems GA-Traffic is creating ai for egpf. Only problem is I can't seem to control how much. It's either not on at all or there are Cessna 172p's everywhere! They're taking up gates for the big airliners as well as the smaller gates and ramps. They're causing go-around's because there are so many of them doing t&g's and other stuff. I've tried changing the probability slider way down to 5% but it doesn't have any effect. Is there anyone out there who knows how this program works and how I can set it up properly :) lol.
