PLEASE help a newbie! regarding static AI's

Post by Trips »

Hey guys!

So today I downloaded MPAI MiG 21 AI's for FSX, which also included Indian Air Force's MiG 21 Bison. But at which airport will these aircraft spawn? I dont necessarily want jets flying around, parked aircraft will do the work.

Someways back I also downloaded The excellent Hawk export pack for the Indian Air Force. They DO spawn at SELECTED Indian Air Force Bases, such as at Bidar Air Force base ( this base is an add on scenery by Stewart Pearson ).

Can I add AI aircraft at a particular base? If yes, then how?
And if AI aircraft's are added at a base by default, then how can I know which particular base they are added?

If someone can assist me with the problem it will be a great help!

Hello Trips,
If you just want static models then download samm1112.zip from Avsim which will allow you to make and place static aircraft models for FSX.
You can use AI models or flyable models and make them into static models.
You can find a list of bases, units and aircraft types at the base here.

Thank you for the reply Steve! I will take a look at the samm utility.

But can you assist me regarding the second query? i.e How to know where a particular AI traffic downloaded from this site will spawn?

AI aircraft must be controlled by a flight plan file, a special type of bgl which resides in the /scenery/world/scenery folder of your sim. These files are created using the Traffic Tools section of the SDK -or, more simply, the AIFP program by Don Grovestine, available here: http://stuff4fs.com/open.asp?Folder=AIFP&JS=TRUE

It's an easy program to use, but you do need to read the manual to get the best from it. You'll also profit from using ADE by Scruffyduck to create or modify airfields to host this traffic. https://www.scruffyducksoftware.com/shop-and-downloads
