That's pretty much correct. I didn't design the traffic manager with that idea in mind. Right now, the way I see it is that Dave's scenarios and my traffic files should be able to work more or less independantly in creating traffic. Whereas David's scenario files allow for a very precise simulation of specific aircraft, the traffic manager generated traffic should become a more or less easy way to fill the skies with "believable" traffic. > > To create AIAircraft interactively will require a new module, and it will > require that the newly created instance be given enough information to have > a model and a fightplan. > To the best of my knowlegde, at the moment it is not possible to interactively create traffic without creating either a) a traffic file (see $FGROOT/data/Traffic for an example) or b) creating a scenario.
