Hi Don,
I have installed your AIFP v3.1.13 onto my FSX system. I am trying to work out what I need to do and what AIFP will do to create AI aircraft and the flight plans. At present, I have no AI Planes installed when I installed AIFP. I have your manual next to me(printed out) but hopelessly out of my depth. My steps so far are:
1. In FSX I created a sub folder under SimObjects called 'AIplanes'
2. In FSX.cfg I created a simobjectpath, SimObject Paths.7=SimObjects\AIplanes
3. I created a folder called, AIFP\AIFP3113\DOWNLOADS for all my downloads for AIFP.
3. Downloaded a flight plan,aig_saudiarabianroyalflight_summer_2011.zip from AVSIM into Downloads.. For my first attempt, I only want a small plan with few aircraft so I can understand the process.
4. Opened AIFP, then with flight plan file .txt or.zip, loaded the above flightplan. Note..Maintain Installed AC List(s) is ticked in options(by default it would seem).
5. AIFP populated the three boxes with 12 flights, 15 airports and 5 a/c in the Aircraft list, all red with an X on the left and a ### on the right of the AIRCRAFT LIST BOX
6.When I double click No 1 - Saudi Arabian Royal Flight Boeing 747-400 (490kts), another box opens, Missing Aircraft, The five aircraft are there, same Ref No 1-5 and all blue
7.This is where I am unsure...Do I or AIFP download the aircraft? Anyway, with Ref No 1 selected, I push the download button.
8. Program tries to get to AVSIM, but comes up with..Index of// Name Size Date Modified[parent directory] Some sort of avsim error???
9. X out of that try and select the second a/c on the Missing Aircraft box,Saudi Arabian Royal Flight Boeing 747SP (485kts) push the download button. This time, it downloads a file to my main downloads area, b747sp_saudi_royal_flight.zip. What do I do with this file? Am I supposed to download this file to a specific place?
10. I select the remaining a/c on the missing aircraft list, and download them ok. I notice you can either select the download button, or double click the line. Still need to resolve No1 download that failed. I think the file name must have changed or...?
11. I log into Avsim files and look for a 'Saudi Arabian Royal Flight ai Boeing 747-400' I find one and download.b744_saudi_royal_flight.zip Rego is actual a/c HZ HM1, so perfect.
12. Now what do I do? ummmmm, copy the 5 repaints to the AIFP repaint folder? ok, try this... OK, 4 of the 5 aircraft are 'green' The remaining a/c, Saudi Arabian Royal Flight Boeing 747SP(485 kts) is blue.When I do the auto download, it is the same a/c previously downloaded that it said is wrong?....ummmm ok. try assign button...ummm, now says repaint and title have different names?....Do I 'simply' change the repaint name in the 'Add to aircraft cfg.txt to the name wanted by AIFP?.... A small box just appeared saying the texture is not compatible with FSX....Another issue?
Sorry, long post. I have stopped and will go no further until you can point me in the right direction. Maybe easier to remove entire AIFP and restart.
Regards
Geoff
