• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Compier/decompiler forTraffis in MSFS2020

Hello everyone,

My name is Jozef Van Ingelgem in Belgium
I’m a long-time flightsimmer and a big fan of AI traffic.
Back in the FS2004 and FSX days I used Traffic Tools (TTools) to edit AI flightplans.
I would really love to have a similar small program for MSFS2020, but unfortunately I have no programming knowledge.


I am therefore looking for someone who would be willing to help me (ideally as a small community hobby project) to create a simple compiler/decompiler for the AI traffic files used by MSFS2020.


What the tool should do (very basic):


  • Decompile: convert MSFS2020 traffic files into three text files (aircraft.txt, airports.txt, flightplans.txt)
  • Compile: convert those text files back into valid MSFS2020 traffic files
  • A simple command-line tool or small window is perfectly fine — no complex interface needed

I already have some guidance about the structure of the files, but I need someone who can actually develop this, preferably in C#, or any language that works well for Windows/MSFS2020.


This is only for my personal use in my own flightsim setup.
If anyone in the community would like to create or help create such a tool as a small hobby project, I would be extremely grateful.


Thank you very much in advance!
