Hi JF,
Just wondering if the new 360 will have the capability to remove old BA liveries as this was quite a task in Traffic X and its a frustration seeing the old tails in the sim? Thanks, Matt |

Sadly, I think most of the code is probably done and finalised for 360 now ... so I doubt any "wish-list" items will make it in there before release. |

I'm new to Traffic 360 (it was a Christmas present). The first thing I noticed was the outdated BA tail liveries. I've gone into the TCC and entered the missing expiry dates (2001, for the sake of argument) in Fleet Database>Edit Paint Scheme. If the application runs as advertised and I fly in the present day, I shouldn't see those spurious liveries any more...

There is no tool, so to speak, but it can be done. I havent modified it too much. Basically the program has instructions, on which texture file to load, for which flight plan. It may be better to try it on an airline, with two liveries, so monarch, for example. We will just try to modify, the A321 first.
First go to your FSX root directory. Then select SimObjects\JFTraffic360 Each folder, is a differrent variation of aircraft. the aircraft you are looking for can be found in Traffic 360s TCC. Under fleet database, and then click edit paint scheme at the bottom. You need the aircraft type, and then whatever number comes after the g For the monarch aircraft, the textures are in the g1 A321. Now the most tricky bit, editing stuff. In the JFAI_A321_g1, folder you will see MON_1 and MON_2. The MON_1 is the old striped livery that has now been replaced. To get FSX to show the new livery on the monarch AI traffic, switch the numbers 1 and 2. Then start up the sim and check out your handy work. This gives you the basics of switching liveries, and yes it may be a little clunky as you will need to know which texture folder produces which livery. This is quite easy to do as all you need to do is transfer all the BA aircraft to you FS plane selection using the hangar section, in the TCC. Anyway, im going to try getting rid of the world tails, liveries, by copying and pasting the contents of the standard BA texture folder (when i find it, i will post it here), in to where the world tails currently are. Anyway, basically T360, looks for just the texture folder, and shows us the contents. Therefore, change the contents, and you change what it shows us! My apologies, if this makes no sense, i went out last night, and feel terrible. You know what they say though, a good bit of flight simming does wonders for a hangover......I think. Enjoy! |
