Hi!
I hope someone can help me with this. When I was buying Traffic 2005 I read that this program offers possibility of creating multi leg flights..like KJFK-KORD-KLAX. I hope it is possible..and maybe someone can help me with it..or it was just empty advertisement????
Thank you in advance for any help!

As far as I know, flight plans in the T2005 format, as created by the Traffic 2005 Editor, are not capable of doing that. They create flights that simply shuttle back and forth between two airports with an adjustable ground delay at each end. There is a way however. TTools, the freeware traffic solution, uses text flight plan files in a different format, which does accept multi-leg flights, up to 200 legs. Here's the really good news. The Traffic 2005 Editor, when you select "Create Traffic Database from all files" will compile both types of text flight plan files into the single traffic bgl that is needed by FS to display the traffic. You cannot create the multi-leg flight plan files with the Traffic 2005 Editor, but if you create them with Notepad in the TTools format, it will roll them all up into what you need. The format of the two types of flight plan files is very different, but neither is particularly difficult. |

Thank you allardjd for your response. It is great news even possibly it means more work. T2005 editior is easy to use to create flies// I love to create my own flight plans. One more thing if may I bother you. I am having problem with working how the right TTools file for multi leg flight should look like.Did you ever created one?
for example it is TTool file for flight:
AC#653,RA4707,43%,24Hr,IFR,01:30:00,13:30:11,340,F,0866,KSFO,08:37:41,20:38:02,340,F,0867,RCTP
and then it is the same flight from T2005:
ABC,866,RCTP,KSFO,930,5607,340,JFAi_B7472_ABCC,RA4707,IFR,75
Any help with it? A little confusing..and so far working by trial and error....and can't find other help online for it.
Sorry to bother you...but I hope you'll be able to help me with that!
Thank you!

This is from the TTools help file, with markups.
