Hey Mark,

New on this forum but certainly not new to FS and no starnger to AI so see if I can lend a hand!

You seem to be doing the majority of the steps correctly for a manual installation, so will try to figure out where in the process you are.

1. Have you used ttools to compile the txt files into a bgl?
2. If so did you get the green Compiled statement in ttools to say that the plans have been correctly installed?
3. Have you installed the aircraft correctly in FS:
4. Do you have the correct aircraft models?
5. Do they appear in the aircraft selection menu (they may not anyway so not to worry) or do you have any utilitiers that the AI aircraft have installed without errors?

Let me know as much as you can and we will take it form there

Nick
