Military AI Works

Hello

I need to make the pilot visible some minutes before the pushback. Before it was easy using the light nav, but it seems that this is no longer available in p3dv4.
I have seen that there is a way to do it, for example (MAIW_WSMG_F-16 in p3dv4).

What event or variable can I use in an ai traffic to launch the animation before the pushback?

Thank you in advance

Hi Adriab.

I see this is your first post, so welcome to the forum.

You can still use the Nav light, but you have to view the flight 15 minutes before departure in order to trigger the xml at that point. If you launch the sim within the 15 minute period, the xml is not triggered until pushback. FS9 works much better because the trigger will kick in at any time within the 15 minutes.

It's why I tend not to use pre-pushback triggers in FSX and P3D. I don't know any other way of doing it I'm afraid, but it might be that the conversion team have a better solution.

The other thing to remember (and this has bitten me a number of times) is that Nav light triggers don't work with piston engine aircraft.

This is true in all the sims afaik.
