What's the easiest way to build an "empty" traffic file with no real traffic routes, including the defaults? I want to try an experiment just to observe whether with AI turned off there's any performance benefit to having a traffic file with no traffic, so to speak. It's an experiment I've thought about for ages, just never knew how to try it out.Tks, John

as far as I know, it can be done with traffic tools, with AI Traffic Mover, or a similar tool. Just make the three txt files (i.e., airports, flights, aircraft) but leave them empty and compile them. Alternatively, you could decompile your current default traffic .bgl, delete all the flightplans and recompile. (back up first) Not sure what it would prove as opposed to turning the percentage to zero, but, you have me curious...If it can be done with Traffic or AI, Reggie Fields knows how and has done it, so I'll wait to see if he chimes in more authoritatively.

I too was going tosuggest that you just move the traffic slider to zero! Or, if you REALLY want to be sure, just move the traffic.bgl elsewhere; a different drive/partition, wherever!

traffic .bgl files are in scenerywordlscenery. Move'em out or rename them just changing the .bgl suffix to for instance bg_.The default traffic is traffic030528.bglhope that helps.

I understood him to be saying he wanted a traffic .bgl file but that it contain no traffic information for some strange reason. I assumed it was for some testng purpose.
