Proper way of getting FS9 AI over to FSX

[01pewterz28 117]

I have done a search in the forum but the results do not list what I am looking for.I am looking for a how to for moving all of my FS9 AI over to FSX.I know where I need to copy the AI aircraft to Sim objectaircraft folder.But when I start FSX I am getting lots of errors with aircraft naming the same. Now I have several hundred AIA, and FSP models and airlines what is the best way of going about re-naming the ones with the same name. Is there a program that I can use to re-name the files to make it a bit easier? Thanks in advance.John

I wrote out the instructions to do this successfully somewhere here last week. You can check the link below though since I have placed it there.Hope it helps.http://dutton.fsblogger.com/8/Moving+AI+from+FS9+to+FSX.htmlduttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Thanks for posting on how to transfer AI over to FSX. I use UT so your notes on the changes worked with no problem. However one comment: recommend you change the following: SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjectsAI_AirplanestoSimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects/AI_AirplanesIt didn't work the first time since I copied your line verbatum becuase I didn't have the slash..Great work,thanks,Carl

[Guest dutton]

Good catch - my blog removes those slashes. I will post a note.Glad it worked.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Hi there got it to work great but I cant get any callsigns to be heard in FSX. Ive done everything as per on your blog. I use Edit Voice Pack, should I just run its installer/updater and point the install path to FSX?Richard

[Guest dutton]

Oh - not sure on that one Richard, be careful. Make sure you copied the file, I am sure you did, but double check that. Also - did you put the airlines.cfg in the main FSX folder? Not the AI/Aircraft folder as it was before.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Yeah done all that. I have two files in my FS9 sound folder called USEnglishASOS and USEnglishBig.gvp.evpOrg. Im wondering should I delete the .evpOrg of the last file and then put it into my FSX ATC folder so it overwrites the other?Richard

[Guest dutton]

The file you want is definitely USEnglishBig.gvp. You want the BIG file.... as in file size. I never copied over the ASOS file and everything seems to work fine. I am going to test it now again.Verify that you copied it into the ATC folder in FSX.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Yeah copied it over, Im able to choose which callsign I want in the sim by clicking on the plane I want to fly then choosing details and clicking on callsign, they are all there I just cant hear them in FSX, weirdRichard

[Guest dutton]

I am not sure of testing it that way. I loaded up JFK and sat and listened to ground. There were some major airlines I heard like American but some were just using their flight numbers.I then copied over that ASOS file to the ATC / ASOS folder and have FSX running right now and I have yet to hear anyone call without a callsign. Perhaps we need that file too. I will let it run for a bit more and post the results I find here.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

[Guest dutton]

Nope, still getting the odd one without a callsign, just the flight number. To me, a lot of them are there, so it is working fine as per the instructions. My voicepak probably needs to be updated though.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Ok well thanks for your help anyway, I'll keep playing around and see if I can sort anything, hopefully Edit Voice Pack will be updated for FSX sometimeAll the bestRichard

Folks, sometimes I get CTD when I crank the traffic up to 100%.Try 100% in EDDF and LOWW. When I roll the traffic desnity back it works fine.Otherwise AI is good. My traffic.bgl file is the one compiled for FS9 by UT.Thanks

[Guest dutton]

Just tried EDDF and all was fine. I remember in FS9 a CTD could happen if there was something awry with AI aircraft.Have you run the MRAI installer with a test package? You do not need to actually install anything, but before it does, it checks all over your folders for inconsistencies. I found this to be a very handy tool when bringing in new AI aircraft. Might be worth a shot if you have not used it yet.duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/
