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
