I’m not trying to say people shouldn’t try it, just to let everyone know you need a lot of patience to get it right. As you say I learnt it and therefore others can to.

It took me quite a while to learn how to do it with help from a friend. Remember uksceneryman if you do flightplans to a base that hasn’t got lots of parking places already you have to make some (or download and install) AFCAD’s (parking plans) yourself. When I started doing plans I was mystified by how the aircraft just vanished after a few minutes in the sim.

… but it still isn’t that difficult!

The readme files for TTools do explain it quite well.

I really don’t think we should be putting people off trying this.

Even from your own experience, you did manage to add AI traffic. AFCADs can come later … and that’s not that hard to resolve either, is it?

Correct.

Aw c’mon guys, it’s not that bad!

Go looking for Traffic Tools (TTools.exe) on flightsim.com or avsim.com.

There are some helpful tutorials about in various places and the TTools help files explain a fair bit.

If you start off with something simple (e.g. a Cessna 208 flight from two airports in close proximity) and then work up, you’ll get the hang of it – lots of us have!!

Lots more help (and to learn) in places like the Project AI forum here:
http://www.flightsimmer.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3

You really don’t need a degree to do it (even though I have one!); there’s so much more to FS if you dip your toe in the water …

It is possible to customise it. I personally have never done it before, but I’m sure its a complex procedure, one that isn’t too easy to learn.

Correct.

Ok thanks just wanna know does it mess up FS traffic 2004 which i have on the pc.

James

It won’t mess up FS Traffic 2004, Project AI files will simply add to what’s there.

Check out www.projectai.com. That should answer your questions and provide you with lots of AI traffic.

AI = Artificial Intelligence

Within FS, this is used to simulate other aircraft traffic in the skies and on the ground around the aircraft you’re flying.

(Only thing is, they don’t seem intelligent at all :p )

Can i change AI around for example ryanair from manston to dublin.

Regards
