| FSAutoStart v1.1 (build 11) |
|
File Description:
FSAutoStart allows the user the ability to automatically shutdown services and programs to provide as much resources to running today’s most demanding applications. It also provides the ability to launch selected programs before the application is launched. Lastly, it can automatically restart those programs and services previously shutdown, thus bringing the computer back to its original state. It also adds some performance enhancing options like Defragment Memory.
Build 11 24 November 2004
• Made code to start/stop programs and services multi-threaded for faster execution
• Added a few more descriptions for possible error messages when starting/stopping services
• Fixed bug that caused crash in GUI when loading a profile with a filename longer than 20 characters
• Added auto-arrange to the main profile window (icons will arrange themselves as the window is resized)

| MH's AI Traffic Check V1.09 (FS9 bug fix release) |
|
File Description:
This new version is intended for users who experienced problems while trying to scan an FS9 installation due to wrong/missing registry entries. No new functionality is introduced, so V1.0 (not required for V1.09) will still do it if you use just FSX. What the program does? Still the same: Reveal missing AI aircraft.

| AIRound v1.0 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 AIRound v1.0. This utility displays AI aircraft around user plane in AI map or AI list forms, enables AI aircraft forward, fly by or spot plane views and has its own built-in traffic alert system. In forward view eyepoint is tied to AI aircraft in front of virtual cockpit with ability to change look direction. Fly by view has adjustable parameters and random options. Departure and arrival airports and time, total about 40 ATC, state, control surfaces, radio, etc. AI aircraft parameters are available. AI map has set of scales and can be placed everywhere within 160nm AI aircraft zone around user plane. You can customize AI aircraft appearance on the map by changing mark colors, shapes, sizes and data tag types. Utility has mini panel with small scalable AI map for quick in-flight AI aircraft related analysis. Traffic alert panel helps to avoid collision with AI aircraft. Also it may be used as a navigation gauge in escort missions assisting to find, get closer and follow accompanied AI aircraft. Utility works both in FS windowed and full screen modes and doesn't require any other add-on modules or programs. You have 10 FS sessions for free.

| Destination Finder for FS9 v1.1 |
|
File Description:
In this program, you enter the ICAO code of your start airport, the distance you wish to fly, and the heading on which you wish to fly. The program will search through all the stock airports in FS9, and will compile a list of airports nearest to your desired destination. For extra flexibility, you can also leave the heading and/or the distance unspecified. Alternatively, the program can now read your aircraft’s position in all versions of FS, and use that as the starting point of the search. You can optionally specify a maximum and/or minimum length for the runway, whether the runway must have an ILS, a maximum elevation for the destination airport, the runway surface (hard or soft or water) and whether the airport should be civil or military or either. The program can be useful for planning your own flight or for drawing up AI flightplans. It is a standalone program, and uses FS9 airport and runway data, but, with that limitation in mind, it can equally be used with other versions of FS. Version 1.1 has a much improved formula for calculating longitude and latitude over longer distances, and is now very accurate over all distances. Version 1.1 also incorporates a number of new features suggested by user feedback. The upgrade is recommended for all users. Needs the .NET Framework 2.0.

| Find ICAO in BGL-files |
|
File Description:
Data about airports and navaids (among others) are contained in binary files - generally in ...\scenery\*.bgl files in FS9 as well as in FSX. Apart from simple modifications of such data, which are possible using the AFCAD 2 AddOn tool, changes of parameters at a specified location have to be made within one of the bgl files mentioned by disassembling, re-writing and re-compiling them. As there exist hundreds of these files in the simulation program, it is not easy to find the correct one for a modification of the corresponding data.

| TreePlanter V4.1 |
|
File Description:
FS 2004 autogen will not be displayed in close proximity to an airport due to the associated airport exclude. GianP ( http://home.tele2.it/gianp ) has produced a library of ‘autogen-like’ trees which use either the default or Gerrish Gray's textures which can be placed near to an airport. The trees must be placed using XML code which is compiled into a scenery bgl by the BGLComp compiler from the FS 2004 BGL Comp SDK. TreePlanter automates this task by interfacing directly with FS 2004 to obtain the required position of each tree and generating the scenery bgl automatically. This updated TreePlanter includes a further 20 tree types by GianP using Gerrish Gray's textures. It also allows the 'p' key on the keyboard to be used to plant trees rather than needing to click on a button with the mouse. It also requires a new library from GianP's site and Gerrish Gray's textures.
An error in one of the Gerrish Gray tree selector has been corrected and the restriction on the use of spaces in filenames has been removed.

| Traffic Changer final release |
|
File Description:
Traffic changer is a tool to simplify AI for FS9. The user can make flight plans, compile BGL files (using included TTools) and place the final plans into FS9 using a "group" concept. This is ideal for managing fleets of AI aircraft or for users wanting to easily change AI traffic at a single airport. It installs with the 59 default AI aircraft available that are already in FS9, 5,500 of the most common airports and a sample flight plan. A tour makes it very easy to get started. Take control of AI with traffic changer. Freeware, complete installer. Requires VB5 runtimes (which almost everyone already has.) Tested only on XP and Win 2000 ... Approx. 2.5 Megabyte in size.

| Traffic View Board Version 2.1 |
|
File Description:
Traffic View Board is a new AI view gauge file that will give you an overview of the AI traffic without the need of external programs. This package works like a regular user aircraft and must be installed in the FS "Aircraft" folder. Instead of a regular aircraft model, this model is invisible, and the regular panel is replaced with a traffic board (similar to those found at any airport). When powered on you may choose between "Arrival", "Departure", "In flight" and "On ground". Each flight in the traffic board list represents an AI aircraft in FS2004. By clicking on a flight form the list, that particular aircraft is selected. When activating the "Follow aircraft" button the user aircraft are mapped to the AI aircraft position. This little trick allows you to spot that AI aircraft from any view in FS2004. FS2004 is still "looking" towards the user aircraft, but as the user aircraft are mapped to the AI aircraft FS2004 is "looking" towards the AI aircraft as well.

| Fly By utility v2.0 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Fly By v2.0. This utility enables fly by view when FS is in tower view mode.
New:
AI aircraft fly by view is now available. AI aircraft can be selected from the list and shown in fly by or spot plane view. Next/previous AI aircraft can also be selected with the key commands. Cycle AI aircraft fly by / spot plane view is available too.
Random options for horizontal (left-right) and vertical (up-down) viewpoint positions are added. There are two types of random: with constant and variable distance to the plane.
Parameters range now can be assigned. Therefore fly by period, relative lateral and altitude positions can be increased significantly.
Utility is provided with the keyboard commands.
Limitation of Functionality:
For user aircraft it is full-functional version which does not require any registration.
AI aircraft options are time-limited for the unregistered version of utility. Every time FS starts, you have one minute summary to select and view AI aircraft fly by.
