Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice or help with a small project. My name is Jozef Van Ingelgem I know that AIG has internal tools that can compile/decompile flightplan data for MSFS, and I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to help me create a very small standalone tool similar to the old Traffic Tools (TTools) from FS2004/FSX. I am not a programmer myself, but with the help of ChatGPT I have a clear idea of what the tool should do: Decompile MSFS offline AI traffic files into three editable TXT files (aircraft.txt, airports.txt, flightplans.txt) Compile these three TXT files back into valid MSFS offline traffic files A simple command-line tool or very small GUI is perfectly fine Preferably written in C#, but anything that works for MSFS is OK This would only be for my personal use in MSFS, because I loved creating custom traffic in FS2004/FSX using TTools. If anyone in the AIG community could help or guide me, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you very much for your time! Jive1 Belgium

Thank you Aviator Moser! Since I'm rather new in mesh things... What means Multi LOD and Single LOD, is that a mix of various LOD's? I can't find good explanation on the Internet... For the Genesis Mesh files that I have in FS9 I've set them in various folders, a 76-folder, a 38-folder, a 19-folder and a 10-folder, and that works fine. The latter folder is the highest layer in the addon scenery set up. Is that combination what you call MultiLOD? Because in FS9 these 4 folders with the 4 different LOD-files, they work fine. I have FSGenesis files, but Genesis Mesh is expensive, so I don't have them all for the whole world. This FreeMeshX system is free for the whole world, and that makes it possible to have them all. Since I fly still FS9, which is still the best, I want to try these FreeMeshX mesh files in my system. About the Central USA files ( not 'central American' as I mentioned before ) somewhere I've read that they are not available yet, and on the map they are not marked as existing. But if I understand well what you said, the North America files are all in the folder of the same name? And the patches 1 to 5, I can throw away, whereas I only have to piace the files of patches 6 and 7 in a single folder above the main mesh folder? Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! Good morning. Further to my previous question.... I found patches 1.01 up to 1.07. Should I install them all in one folder above the main FreeMeshX folder? What about the missing Central American files. Are they available somewhere? If not, when will they be available? Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! I wonder wether the FreeMeshX files will work in FS9. I've seen somewhere but don't remember where, that they can be used for FS9, FSX and P3D. What can I expect using them in FS9. Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Correct! And so it is now on my system as well. Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Yes, indeed! How could I be so stupid? It's probabely age that makes me so confused....... For AI I must always program GMT time, no local time at all! Thank you for this advise. Jive1 - Belgium

It leaves at 9:20 local time, that is 7:20 GMT That is why I think that internally in my Time settings engine something must be wrong. I don't understand why it leaves at 7:20 GMT, it should leave at 7:20 Local time. Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! Below you can see the plan concerned. AC#61,OO-JEB,80%,24Hr,IFR,07:20:52,08:59:18,320,F,1701,LDSP,10:04:52,11:43:18,315,F,1701,EBAW,13:34:45,14:36:48,300,F,1701,LIMC,16:17:00,17:19:03,315,F,1701,EBAW Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! I have Windows 10 and FS9. Why can it be that all my AI aircraft depart and/or arrive 2 hours too late? My Time settings are correct, at EBAW we have local time now 2 hours before GMT, and that is also what FS Real Time shows me. However, I have a AI flightplan programming departure 07:20h at EBAW, and the aircraft stays there waiting and starts only at 09.20h. Why can this be? Do I have to modify any setting somewhere?

Hey! With your help, my problem is solved now. Another Sabena 737 of the same layout is now flying from Brussels to Rome and back... Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! @Hans I've placed my aircraft and watched when it would start, but it didn't. So I changed time 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 houres further till I saw that it was gone. Then I went back some minutes till I saw that the aircraft was still there. Then I waited till it started. When I knew the data, I restarted my FS9 and I wanted to repete that event, but the aircraft started appr. one houre earlier. I did it several times and the statrting time was every time different.... I did not test the way you advised me now, but I'm affraid that I will not have better results... Programming a flyable airctraft to be used as AI, I did such a thing already several times, but always I take away the panel and the sound folder, and everything else to keep just 4 folders: model, texture, aircraft.cfg and air-file. In most of the cases it worked good. Sometimes there was an aircraft that did strange things, like here in this case. In these cases I stopped using that specific aircraft for AI. What you tell in your last paragraph is something that I know, I've experienced similar things. But even then, the aircraft was there when the time came to start. Sometimes the aircraft started at a different parking spot than it was planned, but that is not really a problem. My problem here is that every day the aircraft starts at a different time. So what I will do, is try to find another aircraft to replace this Tinmouse2 aircraft, and to get a result as planned.... @Harald Thank you for the references of the Sabena aircraft. I can use one of these of course, if I can find its model, and I mean the one indicated with http://library.avsim...04aia&Go=Search, it is exactly the same layout as the one I was using in Tinmouose2 version. So many thanks for your advise. Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Good morning GeyerH, Maybe you are right. The problem is that I don't find no other Sabena repaint of the D737, so I had to go for the Tinmouse2 model. But I will thouroughly dheck Internet again and look for a better model AND repaint. Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Hey! I made a very short flightplan from Brussels to Rome for a Tinmouse2 B737. This is it....: "AC#60,OO-SDP,60%,24HR,IFR,08:59:00,10:43:00,280,F,1642,LIRF,14:59:00,16:42;50,275,F,1642,EBBR" and the aircraft is:...: AC#60,430,"Boeing 737-229(A) Sabena - OO-SDP" The problem with this aircraft is that it never starts at the sceduled time, instead of that it just starts some 'unpredictable' time later, and hence arrivés too late at the destination airport. The aircraft is based on the TinMouse II model of Bob Scott and some others. Can somebody explain why this is so? Greetz Jive1 - Belgium
