Thanks Durk, I was looking at the wiki page and that was helpful.
Still trying to decipher what launches the traffic. Is it a case where the traffic manager is instantiated and automagically searches and creates AI objects? That being the case, then the demo xml files in the AI directory while still functional are NOT the way to create a scenario. It wasn't clear on the wiki page how that all ties together; i.e. will the traffic manager create and position AI aircraft on the ramp if KSFO is specified as the departure airport. Is there some time span prior to departure that the specified aircraft object will be created, start and taxi to meet the departure time. In the real world, arriving aircraft taxi to the gate, passengers deplane, and the bird is serviced and scheduled for the next flight. While that would be an awesome feature, I gather that is not how the AI world works. Intriguing idea though, don't you think? Create a list of available equipment by carrier at a particular airport that is depleted as aircraft are scheduled/assigned and replenished as aircraft arrive with some delta time to represent service time. Wow, that's a lot of work and data you created for the AI world! I'll take a look at EHAM. Are the old demo files still available?
