Best AI package for FSX?

[BimmerCop 332]

I know this question might have been asked many times, but what do you guys think is the best AI package for FSX?There is My Traffix X, Ultimate Traffic 2007, skAI and many others which require more of a manual installation of liveries, timetables and models.Thanks for any help on this matter...______________Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCHhttp://www.livedispatch.orgCooler Master cosmos SDFI LP UT P35 T2R (3-17-2008 BIOS) | E8400 @ 4GHz (500MHz x 8) | 2 x 2GB OCZ Flex II PC9200EVGA Nvidia GTX280Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Operating System RAID-0) | Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Flight Simulator RAID-0)Corsair CM PSU-750TX | Asus 20X DVD

Hello,Many packages : http://www.world-of-ai.com/packages.phpVery good, I use them ALL......

[cmpbellsjc 2,960]

I agree. I use all the WOAI packages. Just be carefull of the military ones because they install AFCADS that may cause problems at some airports. Also the Canadian C-130 package has something wrong with it that hasn't been fixed. I can't remember what it was, but I didn't install it. Also, dont forget to run the flight plans thru AIFPC to convert them to FSX standards.I also run all the AI texture folder thru image batches_imagetool_included.zip to convert all the textures to DXT3. I noticed better performance and better looking textures doing this. I can run 100% AI and not even really notice much of an FPS hit.

Where do I get this? What does it do?

I really don't like the shimmering when seen from far away...Thanks for your help!______________Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCHhttp://www.livedispatch.orgCooler Master cosmos SDFI LP UT P35 T2R (3-17-2008 BIOS) | E8400 @ 4GHz (500MHz x 8) | 2 x 2GB OCZ Flex II PC9200EVGA Nvidia GTX280Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Operating System RAID-0) | Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Flight Simulator RAID-0)Corsair CM PSU-750TX | Asus 20X DVD

>When you run the WOAI installer it places the traffic .bgl in>the scenery/world/scenery. After you install AIFPC you need to>create a bgl folder, decomiled folder, and a flight plan>folder. Take the new blg out of you scenery/world/scenery>folder and drop it into you new bgl folder on your desktop.>Then run AIFPC and decompile your bgl, then recompile it into>your flight plans folder. Once that is complete, take the new>bgl that will have fsx.bgl now at the end of it, and drop it>back into your scenery/world/scenery folder. More info on the>converter here: >>http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4746>>The batch converter is easy, but this is going to take some>time initially. Once you install all your packages you can>open each airplane folder and drag all its texture folders>into the compiler and do them all at once. Then drag and drop>them back into the original aircraft folder then move onto the>next one. The easy way is to put the aircract window on the>right side of your monitor and the converter screen on the>left side, then you can just drag them back and fourth.>>Between doing all the flight plan conversions and texture mips>this will probably take you 4 hours or so. However, once its>done all you have to do is convert one or two packages at a>time when new ones come out. I list all the files by date>using the display details and modified, that way when I add a>new package by WOAI I can easily see what bgl needs converted>and what new aircraft texture needs mipped.>>Hope this helps. It's a lot of work the first time but is well>worth it. I can run 100% AI and have no noticable drop in FPS>or performance. I tried Ultimate Traffic X and uninstalled it>a few hours after I installed it. Plus WOAI adds new packages>and updates very often, sometimes daily. It's website I check>daily to see whats new. Another thing to be carefull of, is>when they update a package with new flight plans you will have>to manually have to remove the old .bgl flight plan because>when you convert using AIFPC it add the fsx.bgl to the end of>the file name and the WOAI installer won't recognize the new>file name. >>Hope this helps.Thanks again!!!!! But one last question, where can I download the flight plan converter? That link points to a thread where it talks about it but there is no link on that thread nor on that site, which allows me to download the app...______________Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCHhttp://www.livedispatch.orgCooler Master cosmos SDFI LP UT P35 T2R (3-17-2008 BIOS) | E8400 @ 4GHz (500MHz x 8) | 2 x 2GB OCZ Flex II PC9200EVGA Nvidia GTX280Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Operating System RAID-0) | Two (2) WD3200AAKS 320GB (Flight Simulator RAID-0)Corsair CM PSU-750TX | Asus 20X DVD

Try this link.http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/attachmen...69&d=1184590100This should keep you busy for a while. Good luck :-)

I just installed WOAI using the supplied installer, I installed each package to Simobjects/AI and added a line in FSX.cfg with the path got have the traffic in the airports.I'm missing something ?Thanks,Ulisses

[cmpbellsjc 2,960]

I installed my into Simobjects/Airplanes. You dont have to make an AI folder. I guess you could if you want to keep it seperate, but I haven't tried that. I just put them into the Aiplanes folder. I didn't understand your question about the FSX.cfg? When I install AI I don't make any changes to the FSX.cfg file.

[cmpbellsjc 2,960]

Don't forget to take the stock Traffic.bgl and place it in a safe place. This way you don't have the default AI airliners showing up as well. I'm not sure, but unless you recompile the stock traffic .bgl and leave it in the scenery folder that may cause the new traffic to not show up. I think I did that during my first install, but I can't remember for certain.

[ulisses 1]

You didn't changed the fsx.cfg because you installed in the defaults aircrafts folder. In my case I had to add a simobjects line in fsx.cfg for my simobjects/AI folder. I created a new folder to separate the WOAI aircrafts from the flyable ones.Ulisses

[cmpbellsjc 2,960]

Did you remove the stock traffic.bgl? Is it working now?

[ulisses 1]

I didn't removed the bgl file, the traffic is showing, but not sure if it is correct :)Ulisses
