AI Question Revisited

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.zone.simulation (More info?)

I posted this same question in this forum a couple of
weeks ago, and got a smart-aleck answer. I respectfully
request a straight answer from someone who can help me
find what I'm obviously overlooking.

Question from previous post:
This isn't really a problem with FS2004, just a minor
annoyance. Let's say for example I want to fly American
Airlines flight 510, IFR from DFW to RDU. I get my ground
clearance, then when I ask for taxi clearance, another
aircraft jumps on the radio and identifies
him/herself as American 510. It doesn't take a rocket
scientist to know that the FAA wouldn't allow two AAL-510s
in the air at the same time, and I don't want it in the
simulated world either. How can I get FS2004 to quit
duplicating the flights that I want to fly? That is to
say, if I want to fly a specific airline and flight
number, can the AI traffic be made to ignore the AI
version of the same airline and flight number?

If nothing can be done to clear this up, I will be out of
commercial routes to fly, with possible exceptions being
any Independence Air flight, any "Ted" flight, or AirTran
back and forth between PHF and BOS.

If it matters, the important stuff in my computer is an
AMD AthlonXP 2000+ (1.67GHz, never overclocked), 512MB of
PC2700 RAM, 256MB GeForce FX-5200 video card, Sound
Blaster Live sound card, and Maxtor 80GB hard drive.

If any of you good people can help me, it would certainly
be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to change the number from 510 to says, 710
on the intial menu screen for 'create a flight'? AI will
recognize 710...if it duplicates another plane, you have
an install issue. Have you downloaded AI Tactical
software (freeware on the net) it gives you a menu screen
that shows all aircraft on runways and in the vincinity
of the airport and in the air when you fly.
