AI Aircraft in FSX

[Falcon]

I recently installed many AI Aircraft from WOAI using their installer and it seems to work well. However, in their page of airports they show the exact Airlines at my local aerodrome. I have only found one that shows up, and it is a cargo carrier. Is there any way to edit certain aircraft to show up at a certain airport? I'm really new to AI so will be grateful for any help.
Thanks in advance,
Falcon

Falcon....what is your local airport? I am not sure what your WOAI addon is ( World AI ??).

I have Ultimate Traffic 2 installed in FS. I can check what I get for your airport. You really should not have to make any changes.
Also, the time of day will determine the number of aircraft that will show up reflecting real world traffic at that particular time.

Herman,
World of AI is the addon package. KRAP is the airport identifier. Also can one use more than one addon package by different suppliers?
Thanks, and maybe that is all it is as KRAP is a rather small airport with 5 different carriers, most of them regional. Maybe that's what the problem is, but World of AI showed 5 and I downloaded and installed them all with their Installer.

The precense of AI traffic depends on a lot of factors such as:

Your AI-percentage setting inside FS
The Parking Code parameter in the aircraft.cfg file
The parking codes present in the airport "AFCAD"
The size of the parkinglots defined in the airport "AFCAD"
The compiled schedule of the AI-traffic
etc. etc.

If you use the standard airport in FS (KRAP = Rapid City) it might not have all the real parkinglots defined. and you might benefit of an install of a 3rd party afcad. For this you could try to do a search for KRAP over at flightsim.com and you'll see that there are a couple of offers. I would suggest you started off with the file named: af2_krap.zip if you a not an experienced "scenery installer" ... and by the way, set you AI-traffic to 100% if you haven't set it already, before you try to install extra scenery (just in case). Good luck

[Falcon]

Thanks Dan I'll try that. And yes I'm not an experienced "scenery installer" so thanks for the link. I'll let you know, and welcome back.

Hello Falcon;

I started FSX with UT2 loaded and an AW CRJ at KRAP and the only other aircraft around was a DC CRJ and this was at 11.30 AM local time. Perhaps there is more traffic at a later time of the day.

Be aware that WOAI is FS9 traffic, and thus will eliminate the original genuine FSX traffic unless you re-compile it into genuine FSX traffic....

Dan, it is apparently to late as I installed WOAI before I realized that. Now the orginial FSX Traffic is gone. I suppose I could reload FSX over the top, but would that bring it back?
Thanks to you and Herman for your help.

Hi Falcon.

I don't have FSX installed at the moment, but I do have a back up the the default traffic files (I delete them anyway.

What you can do is convert the FS9 files to FSX format using AI FLIGHT PLANNER.
Search on this name, and you will find the download.

Convert the files you have already installed in to FSX format.

Install your FS9 files into a temporary folder and use AI FLIGHT PLANNER to convert them to FSX format, and drop them into your scenery/world/scenery folder.

Its not difficult and I managed it without reading the manual ;D

If you want the default traffic file, PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

I hope to get FSX installed again soon, but the DVD has gone for a walk and has not told me where to
