Hi all,
I've got Ai pretty well figured out in FS2004, with the use of AFCAD and TTOOLS. I mostly add aircraft and flightplans manually with no issues.
However so far the only way I can get AI traffic on to FSX is by using one of the installers like world-of-ai. (not that there's anything wrong with that )
My question is, is there a way to manually manipulate the default AI traffic in FSX, i.e. take away some of the commercial flights, but leave the GA stuff?. Or a way to add your own (fictional) flight plans? As far as I can make out TTools is not compatible with FSX.

You can use TTools for FSX. I have both 2004 and FSX on my computer so what I do is type my flightplans on notepad and I create a Aircraft.txt docment and taking the titles of the new FSX planes and putting them on the new aircraft.txt along with the old airports.txt file and save it in my Project AI/ttools folder in FS2004 and then I compile the files. I take the new bgl. traffic file that was created and simply drag it from FS2004 to FSX. You put the new file in the FSX scenery/world folder and start FSX and there you go. You can't compile the FSX trafficaircraft file but you can add all your old AI traffic to FSX by dragging all the aircraft folders to FSX under sim objects/aircraft.
You shouldn't use ttools nor the Trafficdatabasebuilders of FS8 or FS9 in FSX. If you do so, you kill all traffic in FSX format, starting from the big ships to aircrafts, and import all odds of the old data formats into FSX.
At least, if you use ttolls in FSX, you pay a high prize. Better start and stay clean to only use FSX tools and FSX addons to FSX.

All I do is move the TrafficAircraft.bgl to another location on my computer and put my new bgl in the same location and don't bother the other bgls for ships, birds, animals, ex-girlfriends, co-workers and chevys. Haven't had any problems
doing it that way. When I want the default aircraft traffic for FSX back, I just drag the bgl back to the world scenery folder
and delete my file.
