Happy Christmas Manfred. Job well done.

John

So, this is a new simulator that you are designing from scratch, with scenery and an AI engine and aircraft. Good luck with that. What sort of timescale are you envisaging?

John

Are the aircraft AI, flyable or static? If either of the first two, what engine are you going to develop to enable them to work with a specified FDE and how is that FDE recorded? It's not an easy task as Asobo have found in relation to MSFS. You can't lift the Microsoft system because it's copyright...

I made the FSX native model over 6 years ago and I would imagine that countless people have been using it in FSX and P3D since that time. Does AIFP refuse to compile it?

John

I hardly ever program TNGs in circuit flight plans in FSX or P3D (previously in FS9 too), so not to hog the pattern as Steve says. I've never experienced anything going astray, as far as I can remember. Now flying out and back to a waypoint is more of a challenge and time consuming to get the timing...

Check that both of your traffic sliders are to the right. If you happen to be using AI aircraft that don't have "atc_airline=" allocated in the aircraft.cfg file, the traffic gets put onto the General Aviation slider and you may have that turned off.

John

Oh, well done Dell. I particularly like the "Raspberry Ripples".

John

I seems like you are trying to solve 3 faults at the same time: 1. AI aircraft that crash the sim 2. Your custom Edwards scenery that drops out to the default 3. AI aircraft that won't show Disable Edwards for now and try and solve 1. Solving 1 might also solve 2. Fault 3 you say, refers to new AI p...

I have had a friendly response from Tom and I need to discuss this with you (Martin) and Tim. I'm just going to put something together and I'll PM it a bit later.

John

I see that Tom has included my Hurricane, Spitfire, Lancaster and B-24 in some of his packages and acknowledge that in his readme. I've just e-mailed him to ask about the permission to do that. I don't recall giving it, but I may be wrong. I would normally suggest only a link to the files be provide...

So, I was partly right, for some reason the custom scenery gets disabled in the scenery library and you are left with the default KEDW that has no parking spots. I have no idea why the Rikooo scenery would do that, unless it's related to it's huge size and your low spec lap top in some way. I wonder...

The Alouette package is now finished and uploaded to Martin so he can add it to the Download Hangar. This has been an enjoyable project with some significant challenges with the glass and engine, but it was of a manageable size to prevent me getting bogged down with it. A paint kit has also been upl...

It's that Halloween Gremlin again Joe! You may be trying to load the KEDW default scenery - it has no parking spots. Did you disable your custom KEDW with the parking spots to do the crash testing? Just check if it's disabled and enable it again if so. Failing that, re-install the custom version if ...

Yes, we have a manual that documents the process Martin, including PBR texturing. It's a complex process and will only be worthwhile pursuing once we have a stable AI engine and sources of scenery to put the AI in, as Steve says. Pete continues to innovate, so it's an ongoing learning process of cou...

I think this should do it for the armed version. Any of the paints can be allocated to this model: https://i.imgur.com/4daHoe9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ENglCDr.jpg These are the Alouettes in my modified Frizlar scenery: https://i.imgur.com/x13Vojb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/stKlvJY.jpg https://i.imgur.c...

I believe that's the SS.11 anti-tank missile. I don't have any 3-views for that set up, but I think I can do it by eye. It would add significantly to the polygon count, but if I just flight planned two or three, that would be OK. Let's see what I can do. I have 13 individually numbered Alouettes suc...

It looks good Pete, but would be even better if the Ambient Occlusion shadow was generated from the model with XNormal.

John

What is the "rocket" version? Just because there was a Dutch version with wheels, doesn't mean I intend to make it, any more than I'm intending to make the SA3180, the Alouette III, or other Gazelle versions for that matter. I just need to contain my time on this. I see that you are an FS9...

Funny you should say that Gary. I've had the same ear worm for the past 2 weeks!

John

I particularly like the second hangar shot and the second of the two in flight shots. They really show the capabilities. We just need the retro MSFS scenery now to feature the aircraft.
