January 7, 200521 yr HI,Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but thought I'd start here.I have just completed a small private airport using AFCAD2(by Lee Swordy) from scratch. I've followed the AFCAD manual closely and things seem to be OK (parking and all). I ran "fault finder" and none were found. I have an ATIS, FBO(unicom) and NDB freqencies for the airport.My question is: How do I get the fs9 default AI traffic to use the airport?:-hmmm I guess I would have to use TTools(by Lee Swordy)to edit the "traffic.bgl" file. I've got Ultimate Traffic installed but haven't had much success with this program. I ran the "collect airports" program for both TTools and UT. My airport shows up on both lists and, of course, it shows up in fs9.Eventually, I want to make some AI flights myself for the business jet aircraft. I've got the AFCAD parking separated into "jet parking" and "Prop general aviation" aircraft.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.Tom C:-)
January 7, 200521 yr Tom, You are correct... you will have to compile a new traffic file. The new AFCAD file only makes runways, taxiways and parking spaces available for use. The collect airports functions of both the TTools and UT has now placed that new airport information into both programs. Both the TTools and UT should have instructions on how to now compile a new traffic file. If this is a small airport and you are wanting more GA type traffic do that with the TTools program.Zane Dr Zane Gard Sr Staff Reviewer AVSIM Private Pilot ASEL since 1986 IFR 2010 AOPA 00915027 American Mensa 100314888

January 8, 200521 yr HI,Thanks Zane for your replies and the link - it will help. One question: Do I get the AI aircraft from the fs9 "traffic.bgl" or the UT traffic file? You are correct, I just want a few AI GA aircraft for the airport.I know how to use TTools to decompile, edit the flightplan then recompile with TTools. I'm less familiar with the UT "import airline" program.Thanks again for your help.Tom
