some days ago AIGTech has previewed the first videos of its new AI Helicopter Engine with a modified H145 SimObject by John Young. Since it takes some time to rework the models and the FDE and I have not the time to do all this changes myself while working on our software tools I will use this post to give you some insight on how the new FDE can be implemented to exisiting SimObjects and how new SimObjects should be designed to work with our new AI Engine. In the end it is up to the developer if he wants to develop a "AIG"-Version or will allow a conversion of it.
Note: I have not tested the new FDE with a BGL based AI Aircraft, so I have no clue how they will perform when using the traditional way of adding AI Traffic to the Sim.
