AI Aircraft

[eagle31]

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get rid of the "soar" and other "non airline" AI traffic. Can anyone explain how I do this???

This will do it for you:

1. Get Traffic Tools
2. Decompile the traffic.bgl into its three components
3. Open the aircraft.txt file
4. Edit the relevant AC# numbers, selecting some alternative aircraft from your directory
5. Recompile
6. Start FS2002 !

eagle,

You can do what the above posts says, or you can replace the first 3 airlines in your aircraft config file with "repaints" for the default AI planes.

TTools will add traffic ..... departing from and going to where you want.

AFCAD will add parking spaces and adjust taxi routes....NOT adjust the default scenery.

There is also a program called AI Traffic Editor that works With TTools. It's easy to use and adds simple "round trip" flights to the AI traffic.

What you desire to do is really as easy or as complicated as you wish it to be.

1. Open the aircraft.cfg file of the aircraft that you wish to add to AI Traffic
2. If you have the Delta 737 repaint as "Paint3" in the 737-400 config file all you have to do is open TTools aircraft folder and edit the 3 737 lines. Simply replace the number after the word "Paint" with the paint numbers of the airlines you want to add. So If Delta is Paint3, United is Paint4 and American is Paint5 just replace the paint1, paint2 and type paint3 after the number "400" on the first aircraft, put the number "4" where the number "2" is for the second aircraft and replace the "2" in "Boeing 737-400 Paint2" with the number "5".

Again, to find out which textures you have assinged to each paint number, open the aircraft.cfg folder with notepad and replace the old number at three locations within the file

Here is the first lines of the 737 cfg file:

[fltsim.1](CHANGE THE "1" TO THE NEXT NUMBER)
title=Boeing 737-400 Paint1 (CHANGE THE "1" TO THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER)
sim=Boeing737-400
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1 (CHANGE THE "1" TO THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER

SAVE IT
COMPILE the aircraft folder in TTools
When TTools is finished, exit and open Flight Simulator

That is the cheaters way to do it ;-)

Seriously tho, get traffic tools and a program called AI Traffic Manager. AI Traffic Manager lets you change all flights at an airport, global or by aircraft. Easy as it gets.


I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's even more unrealistic than MS-Craplines to have a United md-83 flying in Japan, A KLM 737 at LAX etc etc. It can work for the heavies as they are more likely to travel all over the globe. When using AI Traffic Manager you can go to your fav airport and select all the MS flights and replace the MS aircraft with aircraft of your choice, meaning that the changes won't affect an airport on the other side of the world.

And the PaintXX sucks when using an AI Editor, it's tiresome and hard to remember which paint is which.
Example from my aircraft.txt:

AC#76,430,"Boeing 737-400 Air France"
AC#77,430,"Boeing 737-400 American Airlines"
AC#78,430,"Boeing 737-400 British Airways Ireland"
AC#79,430,"Boeing 737-400 British Airways Holland"
AC#80,430,"Boeing 737-400 British Airways Union"
AC#81,430,"Boeing 737-400 British Midland"
AC#82,430,"Boeing 737-400 Continental Airlines"
AC#83,430,"Boeing 737-400 Delta Airlines"

Ofcourse the title line in the aircraft.cfg have to correspond to the entries in aircraft.txt

Just my 2 cents

Use Excel to sort and assign a percentage of 98% to all of the default aircraft you would prefer not to see. Then, in FS2002 set the ATC traffic slider to below 98%, and viola! No more default traffic. However, should you ever want to see the default traffic again (like say you're at an airport that's lacking in 3rd party flights), just move the FS2002 ATC traffic slider back to 100%.

In my case, I set all default jetliners to 98%, and all default propliners associated with airlines (e.g., Landmark, Orbit) to 94%.
