Discovered its my windowsXP won't display webpage (I'm using Exp8)
But if I use laptop with Vista no prob (cant keep up)

Was away on Holiday, has MAIW changed

I am seeing a new logo at the top & a large blank area where the downloads used to be? Then screen shots, is it my PC or what? any one know

i find that most of the maiw scenery is better than the just flights sceneery so i just remove the airport from the just flights and use the maiw one. as i found with wattisham but i still managed to keep all the other airports i that area from just flight

I find some are & some not I just mix ...

For any one else who may mix & match

Amended afcad for Just Flights Chivenor to work with British airports EGDC prevents floating parked aircraft

Remove Justflights British airports AF2_EGCD & the MAIW_AF2_E1DC_DEFAULT then replace with new AF2_E1DC.

Edit your flight plans for new Airport.

I did a couple of RAF Chinooks textures if any body wants them.

Thanks 4 the link

Looks good but complicated I’ll have to read up


Addition

Easy to install Activate/De Act no prob. But same blocks of flats different texture.

Think problem is landclass wrong for UK suburbs

I was wondering if there is a solution to a long term niggle with the default scenery in FS9. :roll:
Which is;

For some reason in Britain all the small towns, villages, & hamlets depicted in the flightsym have numerious blocks of flats 4 & five, or more stories high which is simply not the case ...

If you were trying to get the same take off effect I am afraid that you can't, it's built into the model.

When you modified the cfg file did you alter any effects, or did you leave the panel in of the model?

How long after the base loaded did it crash? Was in instantaneously or did it vary ...

More than clear :idea: .

I only had the crash when I tried to use the edited Apache air & config files for a different Helo AI ( Nick’s had the best take off for an AI helicopter I’ve seen!) I undid the mod & no probs since. :D

Texture wise I suppose I place as much importance in the appearance ...

It was after loading Traffic at KFBG where the modified AI’s were that the game, sorry Sim, crashed back to windows.
My FS9 is bursting at the seems with Addons & can be a bit temperamental these days, I’m used to it :roll: . Plus I’m always changing things around. See JPG of KNKX a altered MAIW ...

I had a go at changing Nick’s files for the AH1 Apache (the Config & air files) for use with the OH58 I was converting to AI, The sim kept crashing when I tried to use it. Had to delete & use others. (Nick’s air file seems specific to model.) No probs. :)

Q.4 U
Is there a texture download on MIAW ...

Thanks for that.

I’m running a 5 year old PC, good in its day but struggling now, I’ll have to upgrade. In the mean time I’ll have edit & slim down a few textures.

I have found though that Nick Black’s files don’t like to be altered! Aircraft types disappear or the sim crashes even?

Thanks Steve & same Dustoff. :)

Ive found an Airfile that works with Helo skids Dust

And should any one get in touch Ill have ago at attaching file Steve.

I do have a question re: MAIW aircraft files. I was wondering if it is really necessary to have so many textures for each aircraft model ...

Yes its good to see them back! I downloaded a bunch of stuff
last night no problem.

And its many thanks for all their obvious hard work to do a Lazarus!

Success They Fly! :lol:

The OH58 works as AI but far from perfect slides along on their skids & take a 100m to take off . still it’ll do to flesh out the South side of the KFBG Fort Brag/Simmons Addon until a better MAIW version comes along.

If there is any one who has the “Abacus Military ...

Thanks again
for the advice about maunal installs
Problem solved for people who like to mix & match Addons.

I just installed the AAc Simmons Maiw Addon & noticed the empty slots, so went looking for OH58 AIs. Also with no luck.

So I just had a go at adapting two of my Pay whare “Abacus Military Helicopters” OH58 Kiowa’s I’ve used the Apache & Gazelle from the same package as AI before no problem.

But ...

Yes & thanks. :)
I had just previously had another go & succeeded in diverting the “NAS Miramar Top Gun” download to a temp folder, which makes life a lot easer! (Just changed all the F14 to F18)

Got to say this is a very speedy Forum with answers almost instantaneously. :!:

Re AI helicopters A ...

Thanks to Firebird & Scott for replies

Yes I do like to mix & match, as downloads vary so much in scenery .
I’ve been using JFlts British Airports for years in FS 2002/4 & although they are getting a bit long in the tooth they are still way better than default. Then some downloads have excellent ...

I just installed the Army Air Corps MAIW Helicopters excellent package.
If I dare make one point re; the automatic install. :oops:
You always have the option of installing the addon scenery or not, but the install will also always put a number of files into the Addon Scenery/scenery folder, which ...
