Hi all,

I have overhauled completely the functionality of FLAi2UTL. The application is renamed (as suggested) to AI2UTL Injector.

Changes:

• Besides FLAi repaints, also multiple other AI-packages/repaints (Alpha-India, WoA, etc) can be included, on a per repaint basis
• Before injecting in UTL, each affected aircraft model file (*.mdl) automatically is being validated for usage in P3D V4
• Also aircraft.cfg files are being validated for usage in UTL. It seems that Ultimate Traffic Live requires a blank line above each fltsim.x entry.

I will release the beta version to the testers later today, hopefully it will be available to the public in due time.

New manual available here:
AI2UTL Manual

Stay tuned,

Egbert

 

 

Thanks for the manual. Unfortunately I receive a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.". By the way, as the Beta program is closed, when do you - more or less - plan to make AI2UTL available ?

Plan is Q3 2019..

Seriously... asap, so most likely this month.
Nevertheless no promises.

Can't wait!

I really want to update my UTL...a question.

I've already updated some models (added UPS and FedEx models and a few others), will I be able to keep those...or must I re add them once I run your program?

I'm curious too about how to add the FLAi FedEx and UPS models to UTL.

You can add FedEx and UPS using a package developed for UTL. There is a link to the package in the UTL forum.

Thank you. I have that package but I know there are UPS and FedEx aircraft in the FLAi package also.

I added the FedEx, UPS, and Atlas Air addon schedules to UTL per the package instructions. After running AI2UTL the dhq.ai2utl.log.txt file showed entries for FLAi replacement models for all except the  A300 (ABF) Model. Excerpt from the log file below.

You can exclude certain types of aircraft, both in FLAi or in the miscellaneous AI packages/repaints.
But all repaints (i.e. liveries) of that aircraft model are then excluded. 
For example:

{ 
"UtlCode": "330", 
"AiCode": "A332;A333", 
"SearchIn": "FLai;MISC" 
},

The SearchIn setting defines where AI2UTL searches for repaints. 
If you remove FLAi from the setting, only in the miscellaneous AI repaints will be seached.
If left empty, the search is skipped all together for that specific model

Here's hoping for a release soon...

This implies that the dhq.ai2utl.search-codes.json file doesn't contain a 'translation' for the UTL 'ABF' code
  {
    "UtlCode": "ABF",
    "AiCode": "",
    "SearchIn": "FLai;MISC"
  }

If ABF stands for an A310 you could edit/try:
  {
    "UtlCode": "ABF",
    "AiCode": "A310",
    "SearchIn": "FLai;MISC"
  }

 

Released as public beta

 

 

Hey this looks like a fantastic tool. Thanks so much. I am going to give it a try.
