Air Canada AI

You dont need to remove the panel from a flyable aircraft.

To make it an AI aircraft, you just change the text after title=

Just like you would with an AI Aircraft.[/quote]

you can just add the title to the aircraft.txt and give it a AC#xx and add a cruise speed. after you decompile with Ttools. (make back ups first).
but you need flight plans(think ya got) that put AC#xxx to the aircraft for that flight. (no repeat AC#xx cuzz ya get a headache).
if yer trying to use for AI and it was designed for flying ya you could take out the panel if you think thats gonna help with frame rates.
cuzz flyable aircraft aint so good for AI when ya got a lot of em.
i usually take out the sound too, well, about a 25% of AI i have sound.
better frame rates. and i have a few skysong or whatever sounds for them in my fsconv. folder to give the default sounds a break.

thanks for your help. Do I change the title= to the same name as the name I saved the plane under. Right now I have one plane saved as AIA BOEING 767-300 AIRCANADA HYBRID COLORS but the title in the aircraft.config file has it under a different name. Should that work, or do I have to change it so that both are the same?

Also, does it matter if I use spaces between words (air canada) or do I have to use an under score (air_canada).

for some reason i just don't understand the question!
but, if you asking well let me put it like this as a example.
on your "aircraft.cfg" notepad thingy it says

[fltsim.0] <~~~~~~~~or .1 .2 .3 ect
title=AIA b747-400 MY airlines <~~~~~(example)

so after yo decompile there is a "aircraft.txt" that TTOOLS makes. on there it should read the same as the title= , on "aircraft.cfg"

AC#xx,491,"AIA b747-400 MY airlines"<<with the quotation marks

included, capitals and small letters matter)

AC#xx <<have to give a number usually not taken and may have to edit the add on flight plans AC#xx for that particular aircraft.

491 is the cruise speed for that flight, sometimes different

"AIA b747-400 MY airlines"<< yes has to be exact as title= ,

hope this helps, kinda hard for me to explain with out bablin for hours 😕

maybe this would help. from fs2002 aircraft.txt from ttools.

that helps a lot actually. I was wondering what the AC#1,200,"AIA BOEING 767-300 AIR CANADA OLD COLORS" was all about. Now it all make sense.

Thanks again !!

Is this what you meant?

[fltsim.0]
title=AC#3,200,"AIA BOEING 767-300 AIR CANADA HYBRID COLORS"
sim=aia_767_300_ge
model=no_refl
panel=

I basically did that for all the aircraft - whether they were flyable or true AI planes.

😳 NO< NO< I didnot mean that at all!
You best read lee swordy Traffic Tools tutorial!
he explains it quite simple.
what i meant was after you decompile there is a aircraft.txt, thats what i showed you before like this

AC#52,230,"WoA_AIA_B733_TOM-Thomsonfly"

the aircraft.cfg thats in the aircraft looks like this

[fltsim.0]
title=WoA_AIA_B733_TOM-Thomsonfly
sim=aia_737_300
model=no_refl
texture=TOM-Thomsonfly
ui_manufacturer=Aardvark
ui_type=Boeing 737-300
atc_parking_codes=TOM
atc_parking_types=GATE
atc_heavy=0
description=AIA B737-300 for AI use
ATC_airline=THOMSON
ui_variation=Thomsonfly

this is a old fs2002, fs2004 you dinot have to paste the tutorial will explain that in detail how to add with out pasting. basically the same idea.

I am not sure what you are trying to do?
are you just simply trying to substitute a aircraft for the default ones?
or did you add flightplans for air canada, and want to know how to link that aircraft to that fligfht plan??

Sorry for the confusion. I think what I am trying to do is just add aircraft to the flight plans I downloaded. The plans I downloaded have a list of planes needed - so I downloaded most of what I could find. I compiled the flight plan, planes, and airport docs with TT Tools. Now I'm trying to put the planes in so I can see them at an airport.

I'm going to find the tutorial to see if that helps. Thanks again for all your time. 🙂

hey! how did ya make out?????
can you paste your aircraft.txt from the air canada package here?
no big problem if you compiled the flight plans, with the same aircraft tags(AC#xx) as the default!! theres a few simple ways that TTOols can redo the default traffic.bgl back to original! 😀 and you can reedit the aircanada ones again and try again

thanks for checking in on me. I thought I had everything right, but I was never able to find any of my new planes at any airports. I don't know if it has anything to do with the version of TT Tools I am using or if it is something I am doing wrong. The TT Tools I'm using came with the World of AI planes I've already installed. My version looks a little different that the one in the tutorial I was looking at.

Here is the aircraft.text file...
