Which base is that?

John

I'd say for LOD 1 its OK as its quite a complex shape.

Ta John, I had already used ACA2005 to check the times and places and thats how I managed to get that high altitude find, what I did notice is that the wings did swing though although probably not as well as Nick made the B-1. Thanks Steve I did notice that they park with the wings swept which is c...

Steve, also check your times with TTools or AITM to see when they are at Engels. I've noticed that no Bears are based at Engels which is wrong AFAIK. The 160's seem to be there at odd times of the week. Will do more work tonight. The 160 model has no burners and the wings don't swing as far as I can...

Well Steve, I don't know what I did to make them work. I just played around with the entries in the cfg and they appeared! Here is my entry in the cfg.

Which base are you using?

John

I modified the aircraft.cfg file and I now have Tu-160s at Engels. I need to add exhaust smoke and try to remove the landing lights which are on all the time. I'm also going to mod the FPs as the 160s take off in a mass scramble which maybe OK for one day of the week but I think it happens every day...

I've downloaded the AI Russian Traffic pack (http://www.avsim.su/files.phtml?id=2754&action=comments )

But even though it installed correctly I cannot see any traffic at Engels where I'd expect to see Tu-95 and Tu-160s. Any idea why.

TIA

John

Just a question about the scenery, at Colmar I see some hangars and buildings but at Reims I don't see any hangars or shelters, just some parked airbase vehicles and equipment, is that correct or am I missing something ? Bora check for these things as well. 1) Make sure that the MAIW Scenery Librar...

Yes thanks for screen shots. Its really weird that when you work on a package you never really fully understand the beauty of it

John

Autumn makes Holland look like a desert! Is this a FSX "feature?"

John

Have you installed the maiw_aircraft_shelter_library and associated textures in the MAIW Scenery Library Objects folder?

Also you must have the MAIW_MirageF1_Objects_Library and associated textures in the same folder as your French base scenery files.

John

I'd like to see an AI Blackjack. Shoot Nick a PM, I'm sure he will help you.

max2202 wrote: And another question. If you make swept wings, can you control that with XML. So you have two flaps, one the real flaps, and the other as the swept wings?

Thanks

Do you mean "swing wings" like the F-111? If so Nick Black is your man as he used them on the F-14.

John

I'd love a an AI Blackjack...

But i'm not bothered what i model, i don't have ideas either.
So i'm quite happy to take requests etc;

How some helicopters? I'd love a CH-43 and / or a Huey? Maybe a Blackhawk? Or some British choppers? There you did ask

John

I'd personally make a small exclude file, then use EZ to put it in the correct position if you wish.

Got any details?
