TNG flight plan needed

Post by jinx »

Hello,

I have downloaded John Young's Marham RAF file [egym_1993_9_1.zip], which, like all his work, is excellent.

His text says:

FS2004 scenery of RAF Marham in the UK for
the period circa 1993. Designed for use with
my Victor and Canberra AI packs (details in
the manual). A very detailed, but frame-rate
efficient scenery of this airfield set in the
Victor K2/Tornado GR1 era.

I have been trying for two days now, with the source files and TTools, to make 2 or 3 of the AI Canberras fly touch and go's every 2 hours, without success. I did get it right once and had 2 /ac doing TNG's, but made the mistake of making a new ai traffic file and lost the one that worked. Since then nothing I tried has worked out.

These are the latest flt plan files I have:

AC#13,XH169,1%,2Hr,VFR,11:31:00,TNG00:15:00,350,R,7447,EGYM,02:17:00,02:32:00,050,R,7447,EGYM
AC#14,XH169,1%,2Hr,VFR,11:28:59,TNG00:15:00,350,R,7447,EGYM,02:17:00,02:32:00,050,R,7447,EGYM
AC#15,XH169,1%,2Hr,VFR,11:28:59,TNG00:15:00,350,R,7447,EGYM,02:17:00,02:32:00,050,R,7447,EGYM
AC#16,XH169,1%,2Hr,VFR,11:30:59,TNG00:15:00,350,R,7447,EGYM,02:17:00,02:32:00,050,R,7447,EGYM
AC#14,XH169,1%,2Hr,VFR,11:31:00,TNG02:15:00,350,R,7447,EGYM,02:17:00,02:32:00,050,R,7447,EGYM

They do not work.

Can anyone please help with alternate flight plans that work? For 2 or 3 Canberras would suffice.

I am puzzled as I have made TNG plans that work --for other airfields--many times.

Thanks,

Try using RPP_FPGen or AIFP to make your flightplans which are newer tools and try IFR TNG (low approach to overshoot) VFR TNG can be unreliable.
Looking at your flightplans you want it to take place every 2 hours but you have a time difference between takeoff and completion of over 12 hours (11:31:00,TNG00:15:00) and a TNG altitude of 35,000ft? 050 is OK.

Try AC#13,XH169,1%,4Hr,IFR,11:31:00,TNG12:31:00,050,R,7447,EGYM,12:35:00,12:55:00,050,R,7447,EGYM
If it works OK change IFR to VFR and try it.
