Is there a list of P3D v4 AI military aircarft?

[Joseph29]

In about 2 or 3 weeks I will be getting a new computer and I will be using P3D v4. I was wondering if any one has a list of AI military planes that work in P3D v4? I am guessing all of John Young's planes will work, I saw in the AIG forums that the HTAI C-130's will work, and the JAI P-3's will work. Are there any others? What about the new MAIW F-16's or KC-135's?

When I do get the new computer I have thought about installing FS9 (I would then use both FS9 and P3D) so I can fly with my full AI and a few of my favorite planes, but I haven't made up my mine if I am going to do that or not.

I am just starting the move over to V4 as well. So far what I have seen :

JMAI B52 - Does not work, does not appear.
MAIW F16 - Does not work (crashes my sim)
MAIW Hawk - Works
New HTAI F16 - Works
New HTAI C130 - Works
New JAI P3- Works
MAIW NBAI Apache - Kinda works, lods look strange.
MAIW FMAI Tornado - Works
MAIW KC-135 , has the invisible plane issue!

Please add any more as you find them, and I will do the same.

So the new MAIW block 50 F-16's will not work in v4? But the original HTAI F-16's do work? That is surprising, I would of thought it would be the other way around.

Could the invisible KC-135 be because of a missing (or a wrong) alpha channel? I know in FS9 when there is a invisible plane I would add the alpha channel and that would fix it.

The HTAI F-16s have been converted to work in P3D. It would be nice to see the MAIW F-16s converted though although I've not tested them myself though.

Interesting that you got the tornado to work. I just tried it and undercarriage is missing etc when parked.

And the NBAI Hawk only shows the tail in my v4...

Surely that makes it a shark, doesn't it?

Hehe.

Joseph to actually answer your questions: the list is very, very short.

Any model that was compiled for FS9 and not specifically for FSX or P3D will not work. They all have issues somehow, ranging from invisible aircraft via black textures to missing parts. Unless someone can contradict me with evidence, you can take that as a general rule. That and the fact they are extremely bad for your framerate is the reason I've taken all FS9 aircraft out of my sim for now.

For the civvies: there's a list on the AIG forums of all models that were either created for FSX/P3D (e.g. FAIB and FSPXAI) or converted later. All those work.

For the military, so far and as far as I know we only have:

• All FSX models from John Young
• HTAI C-130 conversion
• HTAI F-16 conversion (in beta, still has issues)
• JAI P-3 conversion
• Anything that is based on a civvie model -> see AIG list

And that's it.

Well I guess with time there will be more military AI planes working in P3D. I am probably going to install 2 sims on the new computer so I can still fly with full AI.

Cant understand how the Hawk and Tornado work for me?
Must check em again! Maybe I need new glasses.
