Hi there,

sorry, don't know which of the four DVDs contains the default traffic file. In general, FSX DVDs are much less accessible to manual file hunting than the FS9 CDs were.

However, you don't need the default traffic file to install FTX AI. All the installer does is deactivate it IF it finds it. Mine was already deactivated and I had no issues installing the AI pack. That being said, should the installer give you grief about this all you'd need to do is create a "dummy" file with the same name and extension; for example, download this file - http://www.flightsim2004-fanatics.com/uploads/DefaultGA/FSX_DefaultAirlineTraffic.zip - which contains the FSX default airliner traffic without the GA component, and rename it to trafficAircraft.bgl.

As mentioned in the manual, if you want to use any of the default GA traffic flightplans, which are part of the default trafficAircraft.bgl, and thus will be disabled when installing FTX AI, you can download replacements on this website: http://www.flightsim2004-fanatics.com/default.htm
