Hi Martin,if the Learjets at 7000-8000 ft there are two possibilities:1. They make a short flight. GA-Traffic use a system to determine the cruising altitude out of cruise speed, route, airport high and other parameters. The system should work, but I will look at it.2. FS2004 assign them to that altitude and I can do nothing.Assigning aircrafts to airport will be a feature which is needed for military traffic generation and will build in with this. Currently I think it is better to have a Learjet flying in Russia than nothing. This feature would be only usefull if you have enough planes to play with and currently there are to few GA planes. So, feature is on the list, but will not show up in the near future.The registration could be made, like you say. Does only jets have SE-D and when did they get SE-R? Depends this on takeoff weight? In Germany, only place where the special registration code is use, planes are classified by take off weight and engine type. So if sweden is simmilar it wiil work. Please mail me further infos.

Awesome program here. The only major problems I'm having are, as previously mentioned weird cruising altitudes. I've seen learjets and turboprops cruising as low as 3000ft. I also see alot of Mooney's cruising at 2500ft too. Also, no matter what I set the probability percentage to, I get tons of DC-3's everywhere. The DC-30's cruise at unusually high altitudes too, up to 30,000ft.I have a feature request, but I don't know if you would be able to do this. I only fly GA aircraft, and in the FS setup, I have trafic set to 100% with the Airline AI unchecked. I would like a little bit of airline traffic, as I do occasionally fly into larger airports. Would it be possible to mix a small ammount of airline traffic in, but keep it mostly GA?

What I do is after GA-Traffic is open the GA-Traffic flightplan in AITM2 and use the "Correct Flightlevel" option.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpgPatrick/EBBR

Hi,sorry but airline traffic isn't on the list :-(

Hi Pattrick,what does the "Correct Flightlevel" option do?I could change the flightlevel generation easyly if it is wrong. I used a formular to determine the altitude out of the speed, time to fly and a climbing angle. The altitude is maxed out at the computed flight level for each plane and the minimum should be the highest airport. Also the altitude should use correct east/west seperation.I will look at the altitude generation for fixing this.

This is what Thomas Molitor's manual says :"Incorrect Flight LevelsMany downloaded plans contain bugs or use unrealistic Flight Levels in their legs. AITM makes it possible to find those flights in your plan. To make it really flexible AITM allows you to configure your Flight Level. So it's possible to use RVSM and later the US standard. The file that contains this configuration is called "AITM_FL.CFG". AITM uses the leg distance and course to find the right Flight Level. Lets take a look at one of the entries:;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------;---------------------------------- S T A N D A R D ------------------------------;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------0,99,0,179,070,190,0200,99,180,359,060,180,020The first four parameters define the range and course, where this entry should be used. In our case all flights in the range from 0 to 99nm and course 0

Thanks Pattrick,for this information. I will change the flight altitude routine.Current plan is that every plane with a cruise speed above 250 will get FL10 and above. Did someone knows the seperation of the FL above 10. Is this 2000 feet or isn't there a formular?I will also look why DC-3 fly at 30000 ft, but I think the cruising altitude is that high?Expect the fixed version this week.

Can this be made to work with FS2002 by pointing the path to that nstead of to FS2004, or is it a bigger deal than that?Richard

Hi MarkusThanks a lot for this great program :)I think I've came across a bug when generating flightplans. I converted my planes with the "Make AI" feature, and all worked well. However, when generating flightplans, the program wrote wrong information in the file Aircraft-GA.txt. For some planes, it repeated "GA-AI" more than once. For instance:AC#726,155,"GA-AI GA-AI GA-AI Cessna Grand Caravan"I think this way FS won't be able to recognize the airplanes and won't assign them to any flight plan.Hope this can help you make a better program.Marco

Hi Marco,could you check if the aircraft.cfg file contains the same text?This bug didn't occure before, did you use 'Make AI' severla times on a plane? (Shouldn't be possible, but this could be the bug).Normaly the program use the name of the aircraft which is saved in the AircraftTypes.dat and this should be the same name which is diplayed, so does it display this too?

Hi Richard,haven't tested this. The program should run if you change the path to FS2002. Collection of airport data will not run, because MS change the format of the AFCAD files. But you could work with the default 'objects.dat'. This file contains the airport data of the stock MS airports of FS2004 and should work.As far as I know the TTools will generate a traffic file which could be used by FS2002, but the Touch and Go's of FS2004 didn't work in FS2002.So I think you could test it and post your results here.

I had previously checked the aircraft.cfg files but the information there is correct.Also in the program (and in AircraftTypes.dat, as far as I can interpret the data) it appears to be correct.Strangely enough, I just ran the Generate Flightplan from scratch (Start program, Generate Flightplan) and everything came out alright. :-yellow1Previously, I had started the program, made all the changes I wanted (including Make AI) and right after that, the Generate Flightplan without restarting the program. It could have been a memory leak in my computer that caused this problem. :-hmmm :-hmmm :-hmmmMarco

Hi Marco,thanks for your info.The release candidate version is currently at the testers and if all goes well it should be up here before the weekend.

My readme file is in computer gobbledy-gook..lines and squigles and I'm not sure I'm getting the most out of this program. Anyone else have this problem? JamesJ

Here some question I got. I made them to a FAQ which will be add to the manual.If you have a questions, about the function of the program, or have suggestion to improve it, please post them here. If you send a mail to me I answer your question only to you, if you ask here other could read the answers too. This will save my time, which I could spent to further programing :-) (Thanks in advance)Q: Did GA-Traffic harm my previously installed traffic files?A: No, GA-Traffic makes a new file which is called 'Traffic-GA.BGL' so it shouldn't harm other traffic files.Q: Change the 'Make AI' function anything on my orginal plane?A: No, the whole folder of the plane is copied and only files in the copied folder will be changed. The copy is named 'GA-AI xxxxxxx' and you found it in the 'Aircraft' folder of youre FS9 installation.Q: There is to much traffic could I reduce it?A: Please use the slider in the 'Setting' Tab for this. Remember that the rightmost setting means 150%, the left one means 0%. Default is 100%, so if this is to much reduce it below 100%. At 10% I got only 28 planes on my PC, and this should be no problem for every computer.Q: Just wondering though if it's possible to adjust files for only one airport instead of having to go back through the entire compile process which takes quite a bit of time. For example, if I add or change parking spots on an airport using afcad, it would be nice to just collect the airports in GA Traffic instead of creating the flight plans all over again. A: Sorry, but the generation of flightplans depends on all installed airports. Esp. a plane could fly from an airport far away to the newly modified one, so if only one airport is changed many flights would be effected. I plan to make a test AI plane function, which generate traffic only for one airport. But this will be T&G to test the AI plane features.Q: if I run your program, and then at a latter date add moreAFCAD2 files to fs2004, can I then collect the new airports/AFCAD2 files in your program and add traffic ONLY to these new airports...or will traffic be added to every airport again? Or will you program only add traffic to an airport if that airport actually has parking available ( so that if an airport has flightplans which use all parking, the program will not make anymore traffic for it)?A: Sorry, the program generates the WHOLE flightplans at once. A check for available parking places isn't easy to implement and currently not on the feature list. Q: Am I correct assuming it won't change the default AI at all?A: Yes, GA-Traffic makes a additional BGL file which is called Traffic-GA.BGL and could be found in 'SceneryWorldScenery' folder. In FS2004 you can have many AI files so if you don't remove the default one you got those traffic too.Q: Did I need TTools?A: GA-Traffic includes the latest version of TTool in it's 'Bin' folder so you didn't need download TTools.Q: How is TTools used by GA-Traffic?A: GA-Traffic generates the files needed for TTools, means Airports.txt, Aircraft.txt and flightplans.txt and then start TTools to generate the BGL file. This is done automaticly so you didn't need to fire up TTools by hand. The BGL file is called 'Traffic-GA.BGL' so it will not harm any other installed AI files.
