After reading Ricktobin's message, I decided to delve into the world of AI. First of all...thanks Rick for the great tips and sites!! Now I have over 300 aircraft and each airport has it's own unique airlines and flights. Way better than watching the default aircraft fumble around the tarmac.

The coolest thing? D/l Westjet's flightplan. Sitting here at Runway 26L waiting for clearance and one of their flights calls up ATC for landing clearance. I hear a jet flying overhead outside my window, and just out of curiousity I grab my binoc's and check it out...hmmm...Westjet...couldn't catch tail number...heading for runway 26L...

COOL! Or coincidence. Nonetheless it was a great add-on for me! TTools and PAI and the like made the experience better...thanks to them!!

Love this game for it's add-ons, and never-ending ability to change the environment with new tricks and toyz. I'll never get bored!

LMAO...

I did that to one of my kids, he's 8 years old and will believe just about anything you tell him. We live about 2 miles from a Naval Air Station so I jumped into my F14 and took off from there. I told him that in a few minutes I'd be flying over the house. Knowing that a real F14 would be flying over the house anytime, I told him to go outside and he'd see me fly over. Sure enough, five minutes after he went outside an F14 flew over and for a minute, he thought I was the coolest thing since PlayStation2.

hehe, that is great.

I am currently gutting and redesigning my local airport in fs9. There is construction going on at the real airport currently as they are expanding again. I pass the airport every day on the way to and from work. The kids watch me work on the design here at home. I have told them I am rebuilding our local airport for my game. They see this at the real airport and were convinced for a couple months that daddy was building the new airport. I just laughed figuring that they were being funny and KNEW the difference. (8, 6 and 6 are the ages.) One day, I was at school to pick them up and I heard them telling a teacher that their daddy was doing the work at the airport building a new section to it. I had to go up and explain it to them and the teacher.. HEHE I really thought they knew it was NOT really me doing THAT work. Especially since they know what I do for a living and it isn't driving bulldozers, big trucks, etc..

Cool stuff guyz! Kids are great when it comes to ideas and thoughts!

RT: I have tried to do the 'ultimate' thang to get my two to make me bigger than PS2...but you made it...good on ya!!

SP: You should have rented a bulldozer and drove it to school for a 'show and tell'...that would have sealed it!! LOL.

That's cool Exxman. just keep being a daddy to them, that's all you can do man!

haha, no matter how dorky I thought my old man was, I'd give a million now, to be just like him.

I'm proud of my boys and heck who knows, maybe someday I'll be flying for real with one of them.

But going back to the original topic...hehehe, now my son wants to go online with me for a 'shot at the title'...FS2002 Pro is now going to be FS2002 Pro Family Combat Simulator...hehhee.

Your wish could come true as well, you can fly with them!!! Cool

Now I have to deal with AI traffice, and OI (Offspring Traffic)...LOL.
