Meanwhile I tried various .air files of MAIW AI helicopters, but all I got were CTD's. Sycamore seems definitely not be suitable as AI.

Not yet, but that eventually could help. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks to all trying to find solutions.

@Col. Dragonfly would work correctly as AI, but is some older than Sycamore. All heli used up to now fly as well as possible while
using "stemme_as_helicopter_1.bgl" file.

Has someone tried to get Bristol Sycamore flying as AI? I could let flying almost all classic helicopters as AI. However up to now I haven't be able to get the Sycamore in the air. Thanks for any helpful advice.

While we are talking secrets of helicoper AFCADs, if you have used a 1ft width runway to make it invisible, that may cause you to have aircraft that won't take off. Sorry, but that isn't thru. I reduce them with AFCAD 221 to a with of 0.4 ft, the narrowest possible, and it works. BTW, unknown surfa...

You might create one your self, or I will check what I have in my system. But you have to wait until end of this month.

A very first attempt done this evening. Actually don't bother about the aircraft used. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4250/34709399822_602c60b9f5_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4202/34062371443_cf1874c359_b.jpg Now should do adjustments to get at least a most southern encounter, at reversed leve...

A while ago I "dissected" the book "Mcdonald Air Power Guide" published in 1963, certainly the best and only source with informations about deployed aircraft and for some countries even the air bases at beginning Sixties. Here what the book relates for Sweden: F6 -> A 32A Lansen ...

Don't helicopters use their proper t/o and landing procedures outside of normal runways? If that is the case so you migfht create
a separat ADE just for them.

Not just the statics are awful, but also the trees. I found an interesting website with a lot of GDR air base projects. http://forum.ddr-flugzeuge.de/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=b4c6ac7c9e0472b7f0dd47bce2d48615 The site is in German, but you might download always the last and therefore the newest file...

Most of CalClassic 1962 traffic are based on real 1962 schedules. Some are taken from schedules one year later or one year earlier. The exact lists are available with this file: http://www.calclassic.com/files/ai2k4T.zip Creating traffic files forthy years later with more than eight hundred repaints...

"Classic era" means the period of the Fifties and Sixties. That are the years used by CalClassic for their backdated airports.

If yes, what traffic file did you add? :D :D Extremely simple: AC#17,400,"RAF FSDS2 Jet Provost T5" EGXU,N54* 2.91',W1* 15.13',52 AC#17,JETPROV,50%,WEEK,IFR,1/01:00:00,1/01:15:00,000,F,0001,EGXU,1/01:17:00,1/01:32:00,000,F,0002,EGXU AC#17,JETPROV,50%,WEEK,IFR,1/01:00:00,1/01:15:00,000,F,0...

UK2000 - quite suitable to be used as backdated air bases.

Just fly patterns at RAF Linton-on-Ouse

Curiously your'e asking for AI traffic and further below you say you already did a lot of traffic files. So what? The file correctly named carr2006.zip includes everything: Afcad, flatten files and traffic.

There is an object file named "Worldwide Shipping" done by Johan Dees and placing static ships in the whole world: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wce3snfqqmn411v/WS.zip Unfortunately some ships and their wakes have frankly been misplaced. I found one over the city of Geneva! With more than ...

That's exactly what I meant. Finally you could do a round the world trip in eighty days!

Once I created a vintage AI flight from Cairo to Capetown over two weeks. The first week flight was to an airfield somewhere at Lake Victoria and where it disappeared during the night. The second AI flew in from a fictious and hidden nearby airport as soon as the first one disappeared and continued ...
