TL Next Generation NG AI PACKAGE for FS9

 

We are pleased to offer this AI package which we hope will add to the atmosphere and enhance your flying pleasure

Please note that all original copyrights apply and that AI facilities in FS9 and texture mapping in some aircraft used for AI is limited compared to full user flyable aircraft. In particular FDEs are often not very refined and some aircraft (particularly low polygon versions) do not have independant texturing on both sides of the fuselage therefore some compromise must be accepted. Framerates will vary.

The package is representative only and does not reflect the full timetable.

It features 52 flights (1417 legs) between 61 airports by 7 aircraft types.

Flight numbers have been randomised to keep them apart from any flights the user might be making. Some legs appear to be duplicated however the full flights are not.

All of that said I'm sure that you will get pleasure from this package.

Installation:

Inside the zip you will have found 4folders :-

'Docs' folder

Which you are reading from now.

'For your FS folder' folder

Contains the aircraft, the effects, and the Traffic_TL_NG.bgl file.

N.B. I have included as an option a tweaked AI_PLAYR.DLL module file which will increase AI taxi speed to a more realistic 32kts - back up your original first.

'AI source files'

The source-files folder contains the aircraft_TL.txt, airports_TL.txt and flightplans_TL.txt files that were used with TTools v2 by Lee Swordy to complile the Traffic bgl. Feel free to modify these if you want to. There are many free utilities available to view the timetables in detail. I use AITM. These are not needed for the AI to work.

'Editvoicepack import files' folder

Contains files to import to FS9 using the Editvoicepack program and is highly recommended. Editvoicepack is free and TL aircraft will use the 'Tradewind Cargo' radio callsign.

-------------------------

Don't forget that you can view and follow AI aicraft using Traffic Explorer included in the traffic SDK from Microsoft. Where appropriate reverse thrust sounds have been implemented on these aircraft.

Useful AI utilities:

AI Contrail generator 1.0.0.1 made by Markus Brunner in the AVSIM library is very useful. The program scans every installed aircraft of FS2004 for the "Contrail" entry. If no entry is found it adds a selectable effect to the aircraft file. Also the "max_contrail_temperature" value would be set.

FS Aircraft Typer - FSAT by Janosoft is also very useful. It allows you to make AI aircraft invisible to the FS Aircraft select menu and speeds up FS loading time.

If you suffer from too many AI flights going missed then try FS2004 Flight Simulator AISmooth by SG-Flightware (Michael Sagner)

AISmooth will reduce the number of go-arounds of AI traffic at your airport drastically. aismooth_v111a.zip
