Hi Luke As well as the file William is pointing you to there is some other things you need to know about the AI from a noob perspective.
There are two AI programs for FG one is by David Luff and involves cessnas landing at the airport you are currently at . You may have seen them or seen the ATC chater at the top of the screen.I know nothing about these. The secound AI is the one done by Durk.This involves using any aircraft model available to FG to fly a dedicated traffic schedule.These schedules are located in the Traffic folder inside the Data directory.The best way to learn how these work is to have a look at the XML files in this folder along with the instruction PDF refered by William. Unfortunately this will not see aircraft parked all over an airport infact if there are any AI aircraft at the airport they will all be parked at one point that being the reference point for the airport in question. To get the aircraft to park and taxi correctly you will need to make a ground network file for the airport.This is not covered yet in the PDF refered to above. To see what is involved you will need to have a look in the Data directory in airports/AI in there you should find a least two folders one KSFO and the other EHAM.Inside these folders you will find a parking file and a runway file.The runway file is not essential as the aircraft will use the default runway for the airport you are using.But the parking file is essential as this lays out the taxi/parking map for the aircraft to use.The parking file consists of three parts. 1 The lat/lon of the parking bay along with the heading the aircraft will be facing when parked and the size of the aircraft that can use the bay 2 The lat/lon of the points on the taxiways that the aircraft follows. 3 Taxiway segments these join the taxiway nodes and parking bay points all together to form the ground network for the airport . To find the taxiway nodes and parking bay points you can use the UFO aircaft along with the property tree to find the LAT/LON of each point. You can also use the program taxidraw to find the points but I will not go into that here. As you can see the AI at present is not for the noob but if you have not seen them already there are United 737 taxing and taking off at KSFO,that is not including the 737 that takes off of runway 28L as soon as you start at KSFO that is a different part of the AI. Hope this helps a bit. If you have further question dont hesitate to ask as the more people working on it the sooner the world will be populated.
