AI Timeout Patcher File For FSX Query

Hi there,

 

I would like to install the AI Timeout Patcher File in FSX. However I found out on the Internet, that people have installed it in certain versions of FSX, and it has caused FSX to crash on startup, and in many cases, people have had to completely reinstall FSX !

 

How do I go about installing the Patch File in FSX ? What amendments need changing in certain files coding, to ensure it installs properly without crashing FSX ? Or whatever method is necessary, to ensure the crashing doesn't occur ? Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Eddie

There's an AI Timeout Patch on AVSIM library for FSX SP2 only - aitp.zip - it's a patched version of the aiplayer.dll found in the FSX main directory. DO NOT use this patch if you only have SP1 or have upgraded to Acceleration, it will crash the sim.

Thanks for the info tiger1962, should I backup the aiplayer.dll File, try the patched version, and replace it with the original, if FSX crashes on startup ?

Definitely! The alternative to AI Timeout Patcher is AI Smooth v1.20 which works with any version of FSX.

Yes I Use AI Smooth, There is an even better, AI Aircraft Traffic managment Program for FSX, called AI Controller, but unfortunately the creator, appears to be no longer involved with updating the Program.
