CUSTOM FLIGHT PLANS FOR KMLI
----------------------------
These are custom flight plans which I have created for this project. Almost all of the commeercial airline flight plans are real-world ones. I am also including my GA flight plans, which I also created myself, if anyone is interested. All of the GA flight plans use default FS9 aircraft.
The flights including KMEM I just created randomly. It was recently announced that Northwest Airlink will resume service between the Quad Cities and Memphis in May of this year. Initially there will only be one flight per day between the two airports, increasing to two flights per day in June. All flights will be on regional jets. Also, it was recently announced that beginning soon all flights to Minneapolis-St.Paul will be operated exclusively on regional jets. For now I just left the the flights to Minneapolis-St.Paul on the Saab 340 turboprop aircraft intact.
A new feature in this set of flight plans are the weekly flights which can be created in Traffic Tools. I was very pleased with the results. The weekly flight plans involve two aircraft. The Airborne Express DC9 will operate between the Quad Cities and Airborne Park in Wilmington, OH on Monday through Friday only. The aircraft will depart the QC on Friday afternoon and stay at Airborne Park until early Monday morning. Also, AirTran operates one non-stop flight from the QC to Orlando, FL per week, on Saturdays. I only have one Afcad parking spot for AirTran, so this weekly flight will originate in Atlanta. It will depart around the time the daily flight departs the QC for Atlanta. It will depart the QC late Saturday morning for Orlando, then operate flights all around the country during the week, before arriving in Atlanta on its final leg of the week on Friday evening. It will then repeat the cycle again on Saturday morning.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE FLIGHT PLANS?
------------------------------------------------
All of these commercial and cargo flight plans were created using aircraft exclusively from Project AI. All commercial airline and cargo parking was designed using Project AI sizing standards. You will find all of the Project AI aircraft I used listed below. Please keep in mind that you will most likely be required to change the AC# to correspond with the correct number in your Traffic Tools Aircraft.txt file.
WHAT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRAFFIC TOOLS AIRCRAFT.TXT FILE IS?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this must be your lucky day! And for the low, low price of, well, uh, let's see, uh---- NOTHING! you can download a series of tutorials on how to use Lee Swordys' excellent Traffic Tools program. You'll even learn how to install new Project AI aircraft and add them to your fleet. You may have heard mention of that in the README FIRST.txt file here! Just go to the file library at either SurClaro or SurClaro.com and search for the files FS9TUTOR.ZIP and FS9TUTUP.ZIP - before you know it, you'll be a Traffic Tools expert!!! With that being said, here is the list of the Project AI commercial aircraft I used in creating my flight plans for KMDW. And, as I stated above, please keep in mind that you will most likely be required to change the AC# to correspond with the correct number in your Traffic Tools Aircraft.txt file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AC#67=United Express Air Wisconsin Bae146-200
AC#78=United Express Air Wisconsin Bombardier CRJ-200
AC#86=Airborne Express McDonnell-Douglas DC9-50
AC#91=American Eagle Embraer ERJ-145
AC#114=ATA Connection Saab 340
AC#115=Northwest Airlink Saab 340
AC#126=Delta Connection Comair Bombardier CRJ-200
AC#127=Northwest Airlink Bombardier CRJ-200
AC#133=AirTran Boeing 717-200
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget, all of these aircraft can be found at ProjectAI.com if you need them!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, copy and paste the flight plans below into your Traffic Tools FlightPlans.txt file. It is highly recommended that the default commercial flight plans for KMLI be deleted first. If you so desire, you can optionally delete your default KMLI GA flight plans also and use the ones I am including below.. If you don't know what the Traffic Tools FlightPlans.txt file is,and if all of the text below just looks like a bunch of gibberish, see above for tutorials!!
