Installing AI Traffic

I have recently downloaded AI flight plans for various airlines for the
first time. I don't see any installation instructions with these files.
Where do I unzip the flight plans to in order for FS to recognize them.

For non "Most Realistic AI Routes" flight plans (which you can only find
here: www.mostrealisticai.com ), you need to manually compile the
flight plans using a free utility called TrafficTools, by Lee Swordy.

This utility comes with an excellent help file, so please have a read of
it. If you still have questions, please post them here.

A word about Most Realistic AI Routes: I highly recommend using these
routes, as the authors have developed a program that makes realistic
airline routes as efficient as possible. What does this mean?

MRAI routes do not have aircraft parked at gates for extended periods of
time. All aircraft fly actual routes, but do so in such a way as to
minimize ground time. This frees up airport gates and improves frame
rates since you do not have more AI aircraft sitting at an airport than
are active.

Many freeware AI route authors (of which I was one and quite guilty)
tend to make their flight plans with too many aircraft sitting at gates
for days at a time.

MRAI got it right and their plans are by far the most efficient, yet
realistic plans available. Check them out if you have time. BTW, MRAI
created a nice installer routine (also found at their website) that will
install their plans. This routine makes assigning aircraft and
compiling the plans very easy.
