willow Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi I'm using traffic from WOAI. Will the installation of ORBX AI traffic cause problems? Thanks, Willow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 simple and straightforward YES, there are fs9 based and that doesn't want to play ball with fsX, so you will either need to convert them or steer clear of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just to clarify ... WOAI traffic files are FS9 based. When any FS9 traffic files are installed ... all FSX traffic vanishes! The ORBX AI package is FSX based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 HI - OH I didn't know that WOAI was only for FS9. I'm just upgrading to FSX and working through what I require before I purchase, Thanks a million for pointing this out! Regarding ORBX traffic. Does it also populate countries OTHER than Australia. Many thanks. WilloW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex330 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 There is a way of converting the WOAI files to fsx format, so you can use them alongside with FTX AI traffic. You may want to look for a program called bglfpfsxconvert on avsim or with the help of a google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Cormier Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Willow, one other point to consider. WOAI will work with FSX like others have mentioned, I have been using WOAI along with Ultimate traffic 2 but WOAI models will only show in one shade of grey of you use the DX10 Preview in FSX. If this does not apply to you then you are all set. I use WOAI files for a lot of the freight carriers like Fedex and UPS that dont come with some other programs.

bogbrain Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I am very confused with this as I have been using W.O.A.I. for some time now and the installer even has a link to FSX all runs fine so what's all this about it being only fs9 based?

Dave_YVR Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The WOAI installer mentions FSX simply for it's different folder names, it does nothing to convert the traffic files to the FSX format (one day different than used in FS2004). AIFP2 available here http://stuff4fs.com/newpage.asp?Folder=AIFP&JS=true is an awesome tool for AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy737 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I got my new traffic update working really well thanks guys now what world traffic file would someone recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Eccleston Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just to expand on Dave's post. FS9 compiled AI Traffic files have a different day structure to FSX compiled ones so when FSX finds both in the FSX file system, it chooses the FS9 ones and ignores the FSX ones as it cannot handle both at once. True that the FS9 ones will run fine but at the expense of any FSX ones you may have on your system. WOAI and MAIW as well as Alpha India Group provide AI traffic files in FS9 format as that is where there main user base is. These files work equally well on both FS versions but when used on FSX will shut out any FSX compiled AI traffic files such as the payware ones from UT2, My Traffic X etc and many freeware ones such as our own FTX AU Traffic pack. You will also find the FSX default AI traffic is excluded as well. You can convert the FS9 files to FSX ones using Don Grovestine’s AI Flight planner which can be found here. http://stuff4fs.com/...asp?folder=AIFP The download option is in the left hand panel as ‘Latest Release’. Be advised though that this program does not actually ‘convert’ the FS9 traffic files but actually creates a new FSX version. You then need to go back and delete the older FS9 ones.

CathyH Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I use AI Flightplanner, which has a tool to find and convert WOAI files to FSX format.Don't forget to check the box to put "FSX" in the new files name, and delete theold FS9 versions when conversion is finished. I Use Both ORBX and Converted WOAI as well as a commercial addon and have no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Don Grovestine's converter works wonders. I have WOAI all converted and when I download new files I make sure to convert, else FSX traffic disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
