I installed the FSX SDK, and am figuring out some of the TRAFFIC creation process.If I complete the "wroksheet" files in the SDK TRAFFIC folder, how can I compile it into a BGL?Many thanks!Bob

It is all in the SDK Traffic Data base Builder documentation. I use the TDBB for all my AI traffic to compile the BGL you need to get a batch file built (I use notepad). As a preliminary you need to generate the airports file from within FSX using the Tools menu (the option is for Dumping the airports from FSX into a text file).Here is a copy of my batch file (My FullTraffic Builder.bat) to give you an idea. This must be all in one logical line I have broken it down here for clarity:TrafficDatabaseBuilder.exe /Airports=MyFSXAirports.dat /Airports=My_Custom_Airports.dat /AircraftTypes=MyFSX_Com_Aircraft_Types.csv /AircraftTypes=MyFSX_GA_Aircraft_Types.csv /Output=Full_Traffic.BGL /Quiet=No /StatsDir=BuilderStats /Log=Buildlog.txt /Countries=countries_regions.csvPAUSENote I keep two CSV aircraft files for ease of use one is for Commercial Aircraft and the other for GA. The airports data is generated from the tools menu whilst in FSX. The PAUSE command is uneccesary and is just at my own whim it pauses the command console at the end of the processing until the user presses any key.I hope that this helpsHappy Holidays.

I do it similar to yellowjack but I do not use any batch files. Bob take this theoretical situation: You want to make Northwest Airlines AI traffic for FSX. First, you gather your info on flights and schedules and aircraft and destinations. Second you need to find AI aircraft models and paintjobs to use.Then, you need to prepare some text files for all of this info. You need:1) nw_airports.dat. The SDK comes with a file fs10airports.dat. This file contains every airport in FSX. For Northwest, you would just want the airports Northwest flies into. Like KMSP, KDTW, RJAA, and so forth.2) nw_aircraft.csv. The SDK comes with a file called fs10aircraft.csv or something like that. It's a comma separated value file (editable by notepad or excel) listing the stats for all AI aircraft. For Northwest Airlines, you don't need Boeing 737's or Maules. You need DC-9's, A320, A319, B757, and so forth. You can easily make your own file with the specs.3) countries_regions.csv. This file comes with the SDK and you don't need to modify it at all.4) nw_schedules.dat. This text file you will make yourself. The SDK docs tell how. Basically this is where 99% of your work will be if you want realistic schedules.And then here's my TDBB command line.TrafficDatabaseBuilder.exe/Airports=nw_airports.dat /AircraftTypes=nw_aircraft.csv/Schedules=nw_schedules.dat/Output=nw_traffic.BGL /Quiet=No /StatsDir=C:TEMP2/Log=Buildlog.txt /Countries=countries_regions.csvWorks for me. I have a big Northwest bgl made with 280 daily ops into and out of Detroit in FSX. 150 at Minneapolis so far. I would upload it but it's far from complete.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian
