FSX-MS AI Traffic in FSX

[Bigmack 24]

Where is the CFG file location to edit to get AI flights to appear in FSX?

 

Thanks for any help in advance

not sure what is the issue .....

one assumes you have options/traffic slider above 0%

"aircraft.cfg" files are in respective type folders in simobjects ...... they define the many aircraft parameters including the liveries to show.

"traffic xxxxx . bgl" files are in the scenery/world folder ...... they define the flightplan (flight #, route & schedule etc) of those aircraft. these can only be edited by AIFP.

thanks for your help, but I know about those locations. But there was another location where a entry needed to be made to get the AI to populate in the sim. I forgot the location, maybe it was in the C:programdata folder.. i'm building a new computer and rebuilding and reloading everything.

If you are using the default FSX AI and haven't deleted anything then there isn't another location.

However, if you're talking about third party AI, then you might need to add the SimObjects folder containing the aircraft to FSX.cfg, which is in AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX.

Thanks, I was referring to 3r party AI aircraft. I made the notation with simobject in FSX cfg file. I was wondering if there was another location where a entry needed to get made.

Are you using a specific 3rd party AI program, such as Traffic Global, etc.? MyTraffic X requires an entry in scenery.cfg, but it's added during installation.  There may be others.

In my case I'm using AIG flight plans and have them in a non-standard location, so I had to add the path to the scenery.cfg file.
