AITM includes several tools to make the FS AI Traffic event more realistic. With AITM it's easy to manipulate the AI Traffic in many ways like shuffle, move, export. You can even have Projects with different Flightplans and merge them together. If you don't know anything about FS AI Traffic then check out the TTools manuals.
Please note that you use AITM at your own risk!
But don't be afraid nothing bad will happen if you use AITM. Promised! :)
Shuffle is the process of assigning specific AI Flights to an airline. So you
don't see only FS Airlines flying around. AITM uses several criteria to find a
matching aircraft. First it checks your installed FS aircrafts and finds out
which airlines you have currently installed. Then it looks in a special
configuration file called "AIRLINES.CFG". In this file you can configure to
which Region and Country an airline belongs to. A list of matching airlines is
made depending on the airport location (you can also tell AITM that for example
United should fly 50 percent of all USA flights). Now all aircrafts in this
airlines are checked if they are usable for the flight (Flight Level, Distance,
etc. is checked against aircrafts limits). This performance values can be
configured in the file "AIRCRAFTS.CFG" which also groups your aircrafts
depending on their size. A list of aircrafts is made and one will be randomly
selected from this list. Optionally you can also automatically generate region
or country specific tail numbers (also configurable!), change flight types
(IFR/VFR) and much more ...
After finishing the shuffle process you will get an even more realistic
simulator environment. As real as it can get!

Ever wanted to move specific airlines and/or aircraft types from one airport (overlay) to another? Normally that would be a hard work. But AITM helps you to do this in just a few seconds. This function is especially for those people who use Overlay Airports to split their traffic.

This functions allows you to export flights matching special user defined criteria. Useful if you want to merge standard FS Traffic with real Flightplans. Let's say you have Flightplans for the USA and now you want to remove the old USA flights from your current traffic. Start AITM. Choose Export and enter "United States" in the country box. You'll get a list of all flights from the USA. Now you can save the flights not matching this criteria (click "Export remaining"), because these are the flights you want to keep. Now you can easily add your downloaded real USA flights to the saved list. Voila you're finished. No need to spend hours of search and replace.

You often have to merge plans into one to get them compiled with TTools? Then the AITM Flightplan Project is the right tool for you. This function allows you to have a project with several different Flightplans. Easily edit the list and only one click is needed to compile them.
