  1. Hi all, Like many of you I now have to update my computer to Windows 10 owing to the ceasing of support by Microsoft to my current OS. I understand FSX + Acceleration should install and run fine; however what about the add-ons? Am I going to have to painstakingly reinstall my add ons, or is there a 'cheat' to transfer the aircraft and scenery over to the new install? Say move the Scenery and Sim Objects folders to an external hard drive then move them to the new install registers over-writing the one in place? Regards, ChristoffNY
  2. Followed your post to the letter and..... SUCCESS!!!! I now have working flightplans! Thank you so much for your in-depth and detailed post, I can now create flights! I'm not sure what I was doing wrong the first time but it is working now! I've been trying to create flights with one particular AI aircraft I've downloaded but for some reason FSX doesn't allow it to appear when I start the sim. I'll have a play around and see but at least I now know how to create flights! Thanks!! Regards ChristoffNY
  3. I've also just done a check for an FS9 files and converted them to FSX. My aircraft still doesnt appear but I do now have default AI aircraft appearing again...not that I've missed them.
  4. Hi dude tried to PM you but it wouldn't work so I'll post below... Hi man, I'm really getting frustrated trying to create my own flight plans. I'm only looking to create a simple flight from an airport to another and back again. I've watched a video on youtube and followed the steps but I can't get a result. I've used GMT and been at the airport a few seconds before waiting for the aircraft to appear but it doesn't. (On that note, can you chose what stand you want the aircraft to start from or does FSX auto assign one based on other traffic?) I've got packages from WOAI installed and they all work perfectly as far as I know so I'm at a loss what I'm doing wrong. When I check my FSX Scenery/World/Scenery folder the .bgl file is there but it also saves text files there for the flightplans, aircraft and airport info. I'm guessing this is wrong as they are the only .txt files that are in the folder. I keep deleting everything and starting again but I'm not getting any results. I've tried started the flight at a different airport but it still doesn't work. I checked through the link that you recommended but there's a lot of phrases I don't understand, I'm a complete novice to creating AI FlightPlans. I'll briefly talk you through the way I create the plans in the hope you can spot the errors I must be making. I use AIFP 3 if that helps at all. These are the steps I take; 1.) Click "aircraft" then add single aircraft to the list. 2.)I select my aircraft and according version in the drop down box below. 3.)Add it to the list so it now appears in the right hand box 4.)Click "start new flight plan" 5.)Enter all the details, Reg, Click 24hr, set at 1% density, enter airports and departure times. 6.)Save Edits 7.)Add leg 8.)Enter details for the return flight, leaving a few hours between arrival and departure time for return flight. 9.) Click "add flight plan to list" 10.)Flight Plan Saved message pops up. 11.) Change C:\FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery\Traffic_xxx.bgl to C:\FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery\Traffic_BMIRegional.bgl 12.)Check target is set to fsx 13.) Note at this time little red hashtags are present above the flight plan box on the left 14.) Click flightplans and validate. Validate without error. 15.)Click Compile. Compile Successful pop up message. 16.)File save flight set as 17.) Save file as Flightplans_BMIRegional 18.)Save successful message pops up. Close AIFP Open FSX Sit in confused/frustrated mode while no a/c appears at airport. Please help. Kind Regards, ChristoffNY
  5. No I haven't, they relate to two different subjects, one creating flight plans the other about not seeing installed AI.
  6. Hi, Ill try to answer your questions as you've asked them; 1.) I'm not sure, how do I check? In the sim I have traffic density set at the max/100% 2.) I'm using a large international airport which ironically has more empty ramp spaces than occupied ones even at peak times. 3.) Again, I'm unsure of how to check this? 4.) As above (although I don't think so) 5.) I'm visiting in GMT 6.) Definitely in GMT, I checked and rechecked GMTvsLocal a few times to be sure. 7.) How do I go about checking the flight plan against another? Thanks for your help, sorry that most of your questions require long answers. I thought it would be relatively straight forward to create your own flight plans haha. Thanks again, ChristoffNY
  7. Hi all, I've been playing around with AIFP trying to create some flights from my local airport with one of the airlines based there. I've done everything correctly (so I gather) in regards to selecting the aircraft, airport and making the legs etc, I've got an outbound and return flight on a Monday at 07:40GMT. I've checked for errors and compiled the flightplans saving them to the Scenery\World\Scenery folder ( Traffic_BMIRegional.bgl as the final part of the file). And I've also "save file sets as" and saved the text file as Flightplans_BMIRegional. Yet when I load up FSX and head to the airport setting the day as a monday and the time at 07:39 the aircraft doesn't appear anywhere at the airport? How come you are not required to select which gate/stand you want your aircraft to start and finish at? Or do you and is this something I'm missing which is in turn resulting in the aircraft failing to appear? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to PM. ChristoffNY
