None of the one listed just above happen to be ones I've done, but if we can get a definite list together then Im sure I can do some.

I am not a programmer, but I think a simple way to accomplish this is with some batch files to move the flightplans to (or from) a backup directory, renaming the file so the extension changes. For example, if your modern day traffic is in "traffic030528.bgl" this gets renamed to "traffic030528.bak" and then moved to a new backup directory. Then, for example, the file "traffic_1940.bak" is moved from the backup directory and renamed "traffic_1940.bgl" (the extension must be renamed because FS will recognize a .bgl file in any scenery directory)Major_Clanger wrote:I think you would need some easy way to swap between packages.

Sounds good though.
I suppose it could be a recipe for disaster if it is not done correctly - One idea would be to always maintain a backup (this can be part of the batch file process) so if you ever do have a disaster you could manually copy the traffic file from the backup directory and then change the extension from ".bak" to ".bgl". I think this would avert any disasters. Additionally, you can always zip the originals and store them somewhere else so that they could be restored if needed.Angus wrote:I have to say the thought of all that switching and renaming sounds like a recipe for disaster with me! If someone clever at this sort of thing could develop a menu as you suggest (if there isn't already one available - I'll have a look), that would be an excellent idea!
