I'm loving FSX but I really miss my custom AI traffic. I've read the SDK documentation but it's a little complex, TrafficTools was so easy in comparison. Anyone out there who could put together a step-by-step tutorial?-Gary

It's real easy I made a new container in simobjects called "AiAirplanes"copied all my custom made AI aircraft from FS9...Copy all your flightplan bgl files from FS9 World / Scenery into the same directory of FSX rename default traffic file to traffic.bglbck for example...All you AI will be serviced by the Airport traffic (Fuel / pushback / Cargo) (depends on your slider settings)If you want to have also gate movement for AI :-) then copy the exit section into the aicraft file... examples can be found in the default container "Airplanes"One finale note is that models only for FS9 or later are working correct...Have fun,Andr
