Hello All Fellow Simmers!
I am curious is there anyway to possibly change the aircraft config file for the following;
1. Set a TaCan Channel/Freq?
2. Change bank angle for turns?
3. Control lighting?
You get the idea, can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Ozzy

Re: Configure AI Aircraft
I don't know about FSX or P3D but the answer is no for FS9.
The simple reason is that the bank angle is determined by the AI engine, the channel the aircraft talks to is controlled by the AI engine and the lighting characteristic is preset by the particular switch characteristic by the AI engine.
The AI engine did not change much in FSX and to be fair has not changed an awful lot in P3D as that is devised as a flight trainer and not a game.

Re: Configure AI Aircraft
AI aircraft don't follow navaids, so I'm curious why you would want it to tune in on a TACAN?

Reads like he wants to add an AI as a tanker for a program like VRS Tacpack.

Re: Configure AI Aircraft
Actually I am hoping to set the IFF so the AI appear as Friend or Foe on the Radar..........also would like to perform steeper turns etc....I am an avid mission creator with CCP and FSX@War and have created HUGE complex missions for either single users or multiple users.....
Re: Configure AI Aircraft
The core of the AI engine hasn't been updated much since FS9.
The steeper turns can't be manufactured as the AI engine ignores, I believe, the autopilot section of the fde.
Again with the IFF you can't do anything about it.
It sounds like you were hoping to watch an AI battle but the AI engine is just nowhere near as complicated as that.
Don't forget it can't do pairs take offs or landings or even work out if a plane is far enough down the runway to be safe for the next one to trail land.

Re: Configure AI Aircraft
I would love to demonstrate the missions I have developed using MAIW Aircraft, P3D v4, TacPack, and CCP.....................
Re: Configure AI Aircraft
Understandable but at this time not do-able unless you use a recorder. I believe that you can come up with some good videos if you spend some time building it up.
