paulfar Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 In the past few months I've seen a couple of unrealistic flight plans, which I must have created many moons ago when I was just learning the features of TTools. 1. While waiting for T/O at EBBR, a Continental 737-200 was on approach and arriving from KDFW. Somewhat unrealistic. Right? 2. Waiting for clearance at LIRF, an Embraer 190 (Flybe) was cleared to KIND. Also unrealistic. Not a major problem, but I was wondering if there is a way to ID these flight plans in TTools so I can make corrections. I've got tons of self-created flight plans and to search through all of them for the Acft # or flight # would take weeks. I guess I could simulate a mid-air refueling scenario and shine it on. Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenvox Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It's easy...check the aircraft list and search for that aircraft then once you find the number check that in the flight plans text file and change it...and do that for all of them...I do get that sometimes...I once had an a300 Lufthansa flying out of Winnipeg...laughing out loud...but then I checked it and fixed it...don't forget to compile...I've done that too many times where I loaded up at where the aircraft was supposed to be and then realized that I hadn't compiled it at all..lol WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Also when you open the flight plans use the 'FIND' function in notepad it may save you a lot of searching. you can also use the 'REPLACE' function as well, handy for changing lots of entries, but be careful wit that one you don't replace stuff you didn't intend, so make a copy of the plans first.

paulfar Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks Darren. I'll follow your suggestion, although it may be time consuming, since I probably have 1,000 + flight plans world wide. The good news is that these goofy plans were probably created quite a while ago and should be fairly close to the top of the list. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfar Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks ColR, I will certainly try out your suggestion. I wasn't aware of those functions contained in TTools and, as usual, the learning process goes on. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Paul, Or get Don's AI Traffic Planner as it's a much better tool - and freeware... I believe all the groups creating AI Traffic use it... It's been under active development and improvement for years... Amazing piece of kit - really... http://stuff4fs.com/newpage.asp?JS=True&Folder=AIFP Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longbreak754 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 A big +1 to Scott's suggestion of trying AIFP. I have used both TTools (past - when I was a FS2004 user) and AIFP (present - now solely using FSX) and can vouch as to what a wonderful tool it is - much easier to use than TTools IMHO Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfar Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks Scott & Brian. I will certainly check out the AI Flight Planner you guys suggested. I'm always on the lookout for new & improved methods of running my FS9. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Traffic Toolbox installed you can use the Explorer to identify what file is calling any specific AI plane. All you need is the Traffic Toolbox SDK- http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/traffic-toolbox-sdk.41/ peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

CRJ_simpilot Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think you could take a note of the registration number shown from the problem plane and use the program Fileseek and locate the particular BGL that has that plan. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenvox Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 All of these programs are a great way to fix the problem I hope you can fix the issues, I have been spending time with ttools with my flight plans getting airports I go to a certain airport...I find there are a lot of airports I haven't got any ai in it but that usually don't last long...anyways hope what we've told you helps somehow WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi Darren, In FS9 - WOAI pretty much has the commercial side of the house covered - for GA flights there is a fantastic tool to automatically populate airports globally with any volume of GA traffic... It's in the lib and just look for GA Traffic Tool by Markus Brunner... You pick the planes you want to use and it populates fairly realistic flights - "automagically" - over the entire planet - while weighting the flights to keep them away from class Bravo's and such - another fine piece of kit... Sure makes the GA world come alive... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenvox Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 @ scottb613 that program is actually what I need...but I was meaning that I work on airports like this one at a time...not for ga though I'll be downloading this soon...it's a godsend WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
